  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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…
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. I have done it both ways. Most times I order everything at once but if it is a larger crowd and people are visiting and having a few drinks and seemingly in no hurry, then it is a delayed main course ordering. This is particularly when people state that they have not looked at the menu yet and someone has taken the initiative to get starters going for the group.
  8. We received stickers for the typical team and individual accomplishments. However, if you were either the offensive or defensive player of the week you also got a nice set of towels and washcloths of a different color for the week to use for showering after practice.
  9. My inspiration too. Sounds odd to be saying that. I just flew to Australia so I am a couple of days behind now due to the travel but will catch up.
  10. Not on a mid-Friday afternoon at work. At a bar? Perhaps.
  11. Dumbassery abounds in the NFL. DBs flex, put the sword back in the scabbard, etc. like they did something when the QB over/under throws the receiver by 5 yards or WR drops a pass. WRs catch a 7 yard pass for a first down, get up with theatrics and point to a first down. Defenders make a tackle after a 6 yard gain and stare the offensive player down while getting up. So much showboating after routine plays. Now get off of my lawn while I find something else to complain about.
  12. My Japanese counterparts are limited to how many hours they can work per week. Their computers will lock them out after a given amount of hours.
  13. Not going to lie. I cried after watching this.
  14. Yes, I have a finance at my age. It is simple. Make enough money to comfortably retire in the next few years.
  15. Saw it today at the theater with my fiancé. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I really paid attention to things based upon what I learned about it on this thread. Ready for part 2.
  16. I have always worried about which Ewers was going to show up. Amazingly enough he took the Horns to the Final Four in the playoffs with a strong chance of winning it all, twice. Looks like I should have worried more about which Sark was going to show up with the game on the line.
  17. Are you really asking this question? Being patriotic bother you?
  18. My FitBit alerts me to get my steps in each hour. As a result of this thread I have incorporated dropping down and doing 10 to 20 pushups each hour when alerted to get the steps in.
  19. I have SVT and was on medication for a few years to control it. Over time the meds became less effective so I finally gave into having an ablation done. I was a bit apprehensive but am glad that I finally had it done. It has been almost two years since I had the procedure and have not had any issues. I was semi alert during the procedure as I could feel them artificially changing my heart rate. During the procedure I developed a horrible itch and kept trying to scratch it. They told me to stop but the irritation was too great so they ended up restraining my hands. Post procedure you have to lay on your back for about 4 to 6 hours. After that you are pretty much back to normal. After about 3 weeks I was back to playing full court basketball.
  20. Nope. Johnny of Johnny’s Pizza died a couple of years ago. The guy is just an asshole.
  21. Ok, helps to go back and read the rules. It is the holidays, I am off from work. Not using any more brain cells than necessary.
  22. Instead of pulling up parallel to the curb, or better yet, actually parking in a space, this moron pulls up perpendicular to the curb and blocks the drive path. You can see his legs under the truck, and no, he is not getting into the truck, he is going back into the store for another load of purchases.
  23. Due to my failure to know the rules I am exchanging Clint Eastwood with: Amanda Bynes (38)
  24. I will join in with: Jack Hanna (77) Phil Robertson (78) Mel Brooks (98) Clint Eastwood (94) Jimmy Carter (100) Dick Van Dyke (99) Carol Burnett (91) James Van Der Beek (47) Randy Travis (59) Victoria Jackson (65)
