  1. 5th Ward Houston seems to be the ultimate in street cred….
  2. Had an uncle that was a lawyer for the Gambino family in South Florida for years. Kind of took everything he said with a grain………Then the Miami riots happened and Aunty is screaming that all four corners of the property are covered with machine gun wielding tough guys. Add that to the fact that he was arrested three times (never convicted) for various mob related activities. Loved his life, he was a great guy. Always said that the people he worked for never pushed the drugs. (Think pre-Gotti) He was good people.
  3. Let’s get real, Corpus has one and only especial. That’s the unknown dive Mexican place. Got this beauty at the El Gallo Jalisco in Flour Bluff a couple weeks ago. The women with us would not enter this fine establishment due to concerns over readily apparent cleanliness issues. That was their loss. Might have been the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Get the Alambres Plate. You’ll thank me later.
  4. OK, I screwed up when I said Dodger Stadium was the worst on the west coast. Totally forgot about Oakland (it’s totally forgettable.) So my west coast ranking: 1-SFO (Loved it every time, even with frostbite) 2-SAN (Cool stadium, very Milfy) 3-LAA (Not surprisingly feels like Disneyland) 4-SEA (Surprisingly friendly fans) 5-LAD (Iconic, but needs LOTS of paint) 6-OAK (An absolutely horrific stadium, but a cool vibe minus the local gunfire)
  5. It’s heaven for a Dodger fan. Kind of a sketchy, rundown stadium if not. Been to almost every active MLB park and it’s below average on a good day. Certainly my least favorite on the west coast.
  6. I agree that it’s kind of cool walking up to Dodger Stadium hearing the great Vin Scully yapping. But other than that the place is in serious need of a paint job!
  7. Had to try it after your recc. Great call!
  8. I’m going to disagree here. In my (probably more neutral) eyes the order is: Cowboys……………………………………………………Texas…A&M…………….Tech…….OU….OkieSt…LSU.TCU.SMU.Baylor.Bama.Arky.Everyone else
  9. Na, I think a bunch of AA trips for crews now are what’s called out and backs. At least for the DFW types that means they leave DFW, fly to somewhere and come right back that day. I believe these trips go pretty senior as well.
  10. Your take number 4 is really not nice.
  11. Yea, I think he’s certainly eligible. Unless the Astros know something we don’t, he gets on the 40 this year.
  12. I’ll take a wag and say 99.9% of female college wrestlers ain’t exactly “hot.”
  13. And looked pretty good getting the save (minus Tatis taking him deep.) Good for Devo, always liked his act.
  14. Been Keto for almost 3 years. In short you need to almost eliminate carbs to get yourself into Ketosis (3-5 days.) Then you can ease the carbs back in to about 30-50 carbs/day (depending on your weight.) After that it’s pretty much cruise control. Lost 20-25 pounds in the first 3 months, stayed there ever since. The thing I love about Keto is that it’s easy to stay on it and you need to get off it occasionally. (Like every other month or so I take the week off, usually around a holiday.) This is purportedly to let your liver know you will still give it carbs. (Otherwise your liver will actually start producing glucose on its own.) I gorge on my fav carbs during the time off and am totally ready for Keto after the fun. Somehow I gain very little weight during the Keto vacations. Get blood work every 6 months and all my numbers remain good to better. No problem with booze especially in moderation. I seem to fart less and burp more in ketosis. This is probably good.
  15. Acquiring all the bullpen arms has worked basically forever in Tampa. I would not mind if we turned into the Rays with more financial flexibility.
  16. Houston has one very big advantage over the Cowboys. They could fire their idiot GM.....
  17. I was a Marine, but damn if The Outpost was not US Army greatness. Bad ass studs that deserved their real life medals. 2 Medal of Honors and 5 Silver Stars, well deserved. Just watched it for the second time(and I never watch movies twice.) Best war flick since Full Metal Jacket IMHO. Thanks for the recc.
  18. Wait Cat, your quoting Corby on anything to do with sports?
  19. Me too. And Id wager she’s done much worse with that finger before......
  20. International air travel is certainly different these days. 16 pax on my 777 DFW-CDG flight a couple of days ago. Probably the lowest I've seen since this thing started. 25 or so seems to be the average on that flight, with about half of those up front. For AA's sake I'm hoping they have plenty of cargo below. Had to take Delta or Air France a few times when American stopped service in the spring. Those flights were pretty full. The good news is that Europe is getting back to normal somewhat. If they have limitations on restaurant capacity, I certainly can't tell. (At least in France, Spain and Italy.) And the French are even starting to gripe about the lack of tourists (particularly Americans.) Got to admit though, it's pretty damn awesome having no problem getting an outdoor table on a beautiful day on the Champ Elysees!
  21. I’ve had some pretty full (2/3rds or so) domestic AA flights in the past couple months. But my flights to Europe usually have 20-30 pax on board. Pretty darn ugly but I will give props to AA for trying.
  22. Delhi Crime. Haven’t seen anything here about it, but this is a fantastic series. Based on the actual Gang rape on a bus that happened a few years ago it is as powerful as TV gets. 8.5 on IMBD and 93% on RT. You will thank me later.
  23. Tell him their shitty stadium and fan base don’t exactly help their cause. You may recall that Texas and Florida have a future home and home scheduled, so it’s not we are scared of the Canes. If we are going to play an out of conference in state game every year it’s going to be against half ass U. Very little upside playing Miami annually.
