Nope. Oyster Bar and Grill.

No. A really good local restaurant/bar.

Thanks for advising those of us that are a bit slow.

Nope. I was on a business call sitting in my truck. I watched the whole family go inside. I was on the call for 30 minutes or so and they never came out before I got off of the call and went into a nearby restaurant.

I recently needed the services of a pest/rodent removal company. I called the local number that connected me to a menu tree. I finally got to the live person on the phone after several number inputs to only find out that they sat at some neutral site that handled appointments and were not local. I quickly explained the situation and told them what I needed done. They proceeded to say that they could help but first they needed to ask me some questions. Me: sure, no problem. Company: how did you hear about us? me: this is the first thing that you are going to ask me? I told you that I have an issue and this is how you begin to fix it? company: we’ll, we need to gather that information. me: not from me. Hung up. i called a second company. Finally got a hold to a real person. Explained the situation. They said that they would need to send someone out to do an evaluation first. me: Nope. I know what is going on. I would do it myself but I am running out of time as I will be going on a business trip. Just have your guy bring with him XYZ and we will be good to go. company: ok

Quick. Someone needs to claim this new "REALLY dark" color. Unlike some other inventions that have been stumbled upon or borne out of necessity, this "REALLY dark" color is borne out of aggy futility. This new "REALLY dark" color can be monetized since Surrey Nanosystems granted Anish Kapoor exclusive rights to Vantablack, the previously "known" darkest color. There are a lot of applications for this new color. As long as aggy continues to be aggy the source for this color is endless.

I have heard the legend before. Tell me more about this particular post.

I get that reference. Not a name you hear every day!

Fred Newhouse and Robert Newhouse were both from Hallsville, Texas and went to Galilee High School before integration. The Galilee HS eventually became an intermediate campus in the Hallsville ISD before ultimately being torn down a few years ago.

I was at UT from 84 thru 88. IIRC wearing burnt orange was not a big thing then. Certainly nothing like it is today on gameday.

I can confirm that JFF’s dad worked for Tower Honda in Longview. Bought a car there for my then wife. We received a thank you letter from him with both the Honda logo and the aggy “aTm” logo as the letterhead on the note. Had I known then…

Flight disrupting assholes Thread of Shame.
mininghorn88 replied to crash_davis's topic in Daily Texan
I fly a lot so I have witnessed a lot of interesting events through the years. Was on a flight late last year to Heathrow out of ATL. There was a guy that was making a scene at the gate with the gate agent prior to boarding the flight. I am not sure what it was about. Any way, they let him board. Upon arrival to LHR we all stand up to gather our belongings. We are then asked to sit back down. Security then boards the flight and takes the guy away that had been making a scene in ATL. I would think that he was not a physical risk but I am thinking that the airline was able to get some type of grievance against him and had the satisfaction of letting him think that he got away with something only to be disappointed at the other end. -
I am currently in Peru on business. I ate something that did not agree with me on Tuesday. This is just the second time in over 30 years of international travels that I have had an issue. I pretty much stayed in my hotel room yesterday near the toilet. Problem is is that I have to present some material today. My stomach is still messed up. So far I am still clean but I will be playing butthole roulette today for a couple of hours.

I am trying to keep up but have been traveling a lot lately. I stretch a bit before I knock out a set of 25. The last 2 or 3 gets a bit rough finishing though. After a few minutes of rest I do my second set of 25 with relative ease. I work the third set when I get a chance.
