Winona's Big Orange Bevo

I suddenly got very interested in swimming.

They’re making it too complicated with all this subjective bs. 1. Undefeated 2. Conference Championship 3. Head to Head Mich, Wash, FSU, Tex

Lot of white pants in the crowd. Especially after Labor Day.

And McKinney now wonders what his sacrifice was even for…

Would there have even been an Alamo if Travis or Crockett had that “aggieland spirit”? ” It is unfortunate, but we just don’t have enough volunteers available to fight Santa Ana. Travis out!” - Col. William B Travis.

We got beat by Rudy.

Check out the excellent head snap in the reflection of the mirror.

Friend of friend took this on farmland between New Braunfels airport and Freihiet store that's slowly being swallowed up by shitty subdivisions. Unfuckingbelievable!

This is who I'm really looking for.....

Found this guy a little too late. Pretty good for a Guad. Co. Geronimo Creek buck. Cleaned him up

Haven't been on Surly for a good while and saw this thread. Didn't know this show was so popular. I actually lived this life for a few years out of Ft. Lauderdale. Embellished for tv but a lot of truth. Always joked with other crew that we should start a show called "As the Prop Turns"

and I just found the post credit scene!!!

YES!! Just geeked out with my 6th grade class. My nerd was on par with all the others trying to guess who it was!!

I've heard reports that there has been some movement from the Parrot Head brigade out of Margaritaville as well. Shit, they'll probably drag in the Conch Republic too. Shits getting real.

You mean the single guy who espoused anti-gay rhetoric and decorated his office in a Downton Abbey motif? NO!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Sorry, but Kobe's had to go down?

There are so many different factors to take into consideration it boggles the mind. Here's something to chew on. On evening as I was watching the NBA, the name on the back of a player's jersey struck me and really made me think about the history of African Americans in this country. The name was Jefferson or Fitzpatrick, something obviously Anglo, and I thought about how that name patch labeled that person and how most people, I included, would be proud of that identifying patch on my back. I am very proud of my last name as it is very unique and identifies half of my ancestors country of origin. It is also my familial identifier and connects me to a long traceable list of extended family here in Texas and people back in our ancestral land. It defines a large part of me. It is who I am and tells my history. I wondered what it would be like to wear the patch of a name on your back that didn't identify you or your origins but rather, more than likely, the family who used to own your ancestors. How did it feel to still carry the name of the person who owned you? What amount of pride could you hold with that name other than the pride that had to be manufactured out of the hardships that your ancestors had to endure. You don't have the history of your people or culture going back hundreds or thousands of years. Your effectively an orphan whose history was stolen. Your story begins when your people were sold like animals, freed to third class citizenry and for all intents and purposes aren't treated as equals to this day. How do you think that alone has affected the lives of African Americans and the struggles they faced to survive as a community? Think about that before you reason that we should all act the same because every has their disadvantages.

I don't think anyone is arguing that the poor should be able to get away with breaking laws. However, punishments affect people differently. People who can't make bail for a nonviolent crime that would be pretty simple for most, shouldn't have to suffer long term ruin ( lost jobs, etc.) What affects society more, a $300 bail or the person out of work?

You should really spend some time in a school working with kids and you'll realize very quickly that just choosing to do the right thing isn't that simple. These adults making stupid decisions were once kids who didn't have adults in their lives to teach them not to make stupid decisions. I am frustrated daily with kids who are on a path to ruining their lives because they are making bad decisions because they've been raised to be fuck ups. I wish just telling them to make better life choices would straighten them out but it doesn't. How do you avoid something that is against you from birth? I'm not making excuses for bad decisions but we should have as many outreached hands as we can ready to pull them up when they are ready to grab hold. Some are lost causes but what are we going to do, let them rot? Shoot them?

This is why they are against abortion.
