  1. Seriously. I don’t get the Texan patriotic fervor for Blue Bell. They made people sick, covered it up, and killed other people. Screw them.
  2. I wish camera phones were a thing back then. I’m sure you would’ve saved that pic for us.
  3. You are correct sir. All those upstanding young men chose the fightin’ Texum bulldogs purely because of their love for Ol’ Sarge and the Aggie Network. How many are left?
  4. Highlighting the cap by @Longhornfrenzy WATCH. THE. TAPE.
  5. Thanks. Did not know that and hadn’t seen that discussed elsewhere. Reason?
  6. X is not embedding. Been about a week now. Not working on PC running chrome, or iPhone/ipad running latest iOS.
  7. Did not know that about him, but also don’t know what that has to do with his competency or ability to get under TAMU’s skin …

  9. We found Elon's sock.
  10. Such a critical games. RIP Jesse Owens, who figuratively gave the US's collective middle finger to Hitler and his horrific ideas and actions. There's a great podcast series from Malcolm Gladwell on the 1936 Olympics, including the critical decision to actually attend those games, when much of what Hitler was had already been revealed to the world. It's season 10 of Revisionist History, which you can find on any podcast platform. Here's the link to their webpage, in case you don't want to go through a podcast app: https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/revisionist-history/introducing-hitlers-olympics
  11. Whatever happened to generic products? Completely subsumed by store/knockoff brands? Edit: Here's what Chat GPT says: Generic products still exist in stores, but their branding and marketing have evolved significantly since the 1970s. In the past, generic products were often sold with plain packaging, as seen in the image, to emphasize low cost. Here's why the "generic" style has changed: Market Competition: Retailers realized that plain, unattractive packaging limited consumer appeal. Over time, they began introducing "private label" or "store brands" that offered better branding while maintaining lower prices than national brands. Consumer Preferences: Modern consumers tend to associate better packaging with quality. To stay competitive, retailers improved the design and appeal of generic products. Retailer Branding: Many supermarkets now use store brands (e.g., Great Value at Walmart or Kirkland Signature at Costco) as a way to differentiate themselves while still offering lower-cost alternatives. Perceived Value: Companies recognized that products with higher-quality packaging could be priced slightly higher, improving profitability while still being affordable compared to premium brands. Regulations and Labeling: Changes in labeling requirements led to more detailed and visually engaging designs for even budget-friendly products. While the plain-packaged "generic" look has largely disappeared, its spirit lives on in modern store-brand items that cater to budget-conscious shoppers.
  12. Surely "lettuce" is a euphemism.
  13. Say no more.
  14. Agreed. We never had the avocado color appliances, but friends and relatives did. But our parents and grandparents bought them. X did not.
  15. X still not embedding …
  16. Obligatory: Also obligatory: BRB
  17. You just made the list, buddy.

    Shit My Kid Says

    Not a good first guess at all. Only one vowel, and only one of rstlne. I would have a stern talk with him about his lack of strategy.
