  1. Ok, technically parked between the lines. But it was extremely douchey and in a parking lot. And on a side note, I knew an aggy grad who once did this to his bass boat.
  2. Nah. I've spent time in both. BS is a total shit hole. There may be one good place to eat and there is absolutely nothing to do. The only thing worth seeing is the Hotel Settles. There is no place in BS that looks good. Angelo has a few things to see/do and they have several good places to eat. And aggy related, it's one of the biggest sheep/wool producing areas in the US.

    Getting old sucks

    As long as your not like my BIL who will drone on and on about it for hours, going into the intricacies and superiority of the game, I think your safe.
  4. Screw that guy and those commercials. Everyone of them makes me ragey. Now please excuse me, I see some clouds that are up to no good.
  5. Of course. He personally destroyed this part of my youth.
  6. If I had a time machine, I would go back and throat punch the person who invented popcorn ceilings. Then I would go forward a few years and kill the home improvement ass that said scrapping it all off and repainting it was a must do.
  7. I had a college buddy like that. While guys would be running their mouths, he would quietly be positioning himself for the first punch and take down. Usually the guys running their mouths never saw it coming. Sometime their buddies would realize what was happening and pull them back. A couple of years ago, at 64, he was arrested for assault, for beating on his next door neighbor in the same scenario. Judge eventually threw it out because of the actions of the loudmouth neighbor. Some guys never learn.
  8. So what are the chances Switzer calls himself an agent and takes 20% of everything off the top?
  9. We lost, but we really won. Sure thing if you don't look at the final score, I guess? merch In reply to Iraq2xVeteran • 10:04a, 4/21/22 To be fair, didn't we really beat LSU last year? We just didn't beat them twice in the same game. By definition, you cannot blow a play dead for forward progress being stopped for a player that does not have the ball. First time I've ever seen that call. https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3280838/replies/61917177
  10. Years ago, my father-in-law was going in for a heart procedure. He told me that the surgeon said there was 1 in 1000 chance of something going wrong. I told him those seem like pretty good odds. He said "yeah they are, unless you're one of those one thousand".
  11. Yeah, I led a marriage class at a church once. One whole lesson devoted to sex. The guys who weren't getting any were too terrified to bring it up because they knew their twice a year sex would end completely if they complained. However, several women were straightforward in the fact that they weren't getting enough in both quantity and variety.
  12. Kept hoping for some kind of east coast/west coast, disrespecting drive by...
  13. LOL. Turn the closed caption on and he's doing it for the pope.
  14. I watched to the end hoping that the cops showed up, she loses her cool and slaps one of them, then they beat her with their batons.
  15. She will guess your weight.
  16. The fun thing I noticed about writing resumes when you're old is the fact that most of your old supervisors are retired or dead. And in my case, a lot of the companies were bought out or went out of business. So none of my youthful asshole-ness can be held against me.
  17. I don't want to be the asshole that says "everything will be fine" but from what I've picked up reading about you and your attitude on life, Everything will be fine. I'm in sales. Twice I have received a call saying "we don't need you anymore". Once when I had 3 kids at home and was the only source of income for the family as my wife went back to school. There was no warning, no bad reviews, nothing to tell me it was coming, they just cut me loose. I just used my righteous indignation as a motivator to tell them "screw you". After my last layoff 12 years ago during the recession I couldn't get a return phone call from anyone I knew in the industry, then a friend connected me with a company of who I knew, but had no interest in working for. The owner ended up making me an offer and I've been here 13 years now. I wish I got here sooner he's a great employer and person. My bet is that if you really want to work and keep looking, you will find something. There are still employers who see character, quality in, and appreciate an employee who can stick with the same company for 40 years. I don't know exactly what you did in construction but I can tell you the Renewables (wind turbine) construction market is bonkers crazy. They are putting up turbines at a scary rate from 35 west and along the coast. People in the industry have told me that there is about to be a big explosion of offshore turbine construction in the gulf. A lot of the turbine construction companies are in the midwest but they have a huge presence down here. Blattner, Wanzek and IEA are three that come to mind. And there are 100's of renewable companies based in Houston. There might be something there. The TL;DR version, screw them and don't give up. I promise there is something there for you.
  18. I'm convinced you could sell a "weenie water" base tomato ketchup soup to someone. Maybe Waffle House or Cracker Barrel.
  19. At one time, emu's were THE get rich scheme. Buy them, breed them and sell them. King of the Hill did a pretty good show on the lunacy. Kind of like chinchillas in the 60's.
  20. I had a cousin who was always looking for easy money. He was a compulsive gambler, bought emu's and opened a dry cleaners just so he could have a front for his attempt at being a bookie. I'm the only one he never swindled money from. When his wife died in '86 she modified her will to put her 20 yo son in charge of the money ($400K+). She split it 4 ways, between my cousin and their three kids, two under 13. He was to manage it it until the others turned 18. My cousin badgered the oldest to turn over the younger siblings money to him for "investments". Within 2 years he had spent it all on slots in Vegas. At the end no one in the family would even return his calls. He ended up moving into a senior facility and swindling the really old widows out of monthly living expenses. His youngest son ended up going to (and is in) prison for drugs. His oldest son lost his child to a drug overdose. I could write another story on him but I don't want to CR the tread up. Let's just say he was in Washington during the January rally. His oldest sons "mentor" is another cousin who even more politically bonkers than he is and is from Oklahoma. He thinks Barry Switzer was a fine moral man who got run off from ou because of jealous professors and admin.
  21. I'd give $1000 to his ministry if he would let me take a few swings at him with one of these.
  22. The fix was in. The NIT was against them too... https://texags.com/forums/7/topics/3281269
  23. Thousands of little green eyes staring back at you. It's pretty cool.
  24. And this explains why every Allsup's bathroom is in the shape it's in. I had a friend that worked for them. He told me years ago that the man and woman who owned them (the Allsup's?) would get on their computers at the end of the month and check their financial sheets to see how much they cleared. Then start buying land and horses like other people order stuff from Amazon. They made a lot of money. There are still Allsup's in just about every small town west of Abilene.
