  1. Y'all is the contraction of ye all, not you all. In older English ye was the plural form of you, so y'all is plural.
  2. The TV Batman lunchbox was how I rolled up to Calk Elementary. Like a boss! Wait, weren't we talking about football practice? How's that going?
  3. I use mine all the time and love it. If it fits, it splits. Swinging a two or three pound hand sledge instead of a maul does less damage to my old shoulders. Of course, just like splitting with a maul, the better seasoned the wood is, the easier it is to split, some woods split better than others, and knots can be a pain, but I love mine.
  4. My wife (no pics) made some egg salad that is basically chopped deviled eggs. It is delicious. The best part? My farts tonight are going to be awe inspiring!
  5. I was born between 1960 and 1964, so I got a titer run for measles. I have no immunity, so my doctor strongly recommended that I remedy that. Guess who's getting the MMR vaccine at 3:00 this afternoon! Thanks, morons.
  6. Thanks for the updates. I appreciate them.
  7. My dad raked the leaves up, used a hand cart to put them around the bases of his fruit trees, then ground them up with a mulching mower. Made excellent mulch for his fruit trees, got the leaves off of the grass, and gave him something to kep him busy. Win-win-win.
  8. From what I've seen here and some talk I've heard, the list is: 1) When he signed on, Schloss was promised some facilities improvements, not just to the ballpark, but also practice facilities and such. Those were slow played after the Jimbo firing. 2) After their success in 2023, Schloss asked for more money for his assistant coaches. He was turned down, because Jimbo. 3) As part of the post Jimbo austerity program, some of the baseball support staff were let go without letting Schloss know until after it was done. When he protested, he was told that it was just that way and he'd better get used to it. 4) Alberts heard that Schloss was dissatisfied with the above developments and might consider looking elsewhere, so he called Schloss into his office and basically told him that if he was unhappy at A&M, he should look elsewhere. He invited Schloss to leave. In short, A&M Aggied it up as only they can. Why would anyone want to stay and be part of that kind of unprofessional cluster fuck?
  9. I'm not a soccer fan, but damn, she made that defender and the goalie her bitches. Now they have to be her bodyguards in the afterlife.
  10. I always thought that A&M should have seen Schloss' breaking their hearts coming from the time they hired him. He specialized in breaking their hearts in a regional or super regional every chance he got at TCU. He and TCU keeping the Aggies out of Omaha was a sure bet.
  11. How about we draw the fucking line at BEFORE someone gets "shot or jumped or physically abused violently"? Waiting until they become violent is how you encourage bullies. Then it's too fucking late.
  12. All of my pens are freebies, mostly from vendors at benefits fairs before I retired. My wife takes a pen every time she goes into the credit union, so I'll never run out.
  13. I once worked with a guy who said that he only drank two kinds of beer: Lone Star and free.
  14. 12 is one more than 11, so it's even better.
  15. No, it was an ultralight, like a hang glider with an engine and prop hung from it. They look fun until you think about the prop catching up to you.
  16. In 1980 my Marine Reserve unit was in Houston on Old Spanish Trail. We were in formation facing a big empty field behind the reserve center and this little experimental ultralight craft took off about 200 yards away. The guy pulled back too hard, went straight up, stalled, and then nosedived straight into the ground from about 200 feet up. The sound of the crash and the knowledge that the engine was right behind him has stuck with me all this time. Someone wondered aloud about the last thing that went through the pilot's mind, and one of the Vietnam vets said that it was probably the prop. My paternal grandmother had a heart attack in front of most of the family and died as my little brother and I did CPR on her, with my dad freaking out behind us. We were told by the ER doctor that they couldn't have saved her if she was in the ER with a doctor right there when it happened, but that doesn't help. I have occasional bad dreams about that.
  17. Maybe he's on Apollo 11. Besides, CO2 has more O, so it has to be twice as bad, now doesn't it?
  18. When you wet them and put them on the windshield or any other glass they stick almost like they were epoxied on. They are very hard to remove, and they leave a residue that's hard to remove. I haven't seen them applied to painted surfaces, but I imagine that the stick to those just as well, and may damage the paint when removed.
  19. Show up for Marine Corps basic training named Yamajesty and you are going to catch more shit than you ever dreamed could exist.
  20. What passes for "Texas Pride" is people now living taking credit for the whitewashed, mythologized, and usually dubious actions of others over 100 years ago.
  21. Construction contractors are horrible slobs, so the trash you are seeing may not strictly be because of the city/county. Many contracts require the contractor to do the clean-up after construction is finished, but if the contracting entity doesn't ride their ass and hold their feet to the fire, they'll cut their costs by skipping the clean-up.
  22. Still weird to see the Jolly Rogers markings on anything other than an F-4 or F-14. Yes, I'm old. Still one of my favorite tail markings, whatever it is on.
  23. Yeah, upon further reflection I think a can of sardines in the front vent or some jolly ranchers stuck to the windshield are better options. If one must go for the paint, polka dotting the hood and doors with Barbasol works well, as I found out the day after my wedding.
  24. That vehicle needs some long, wavy key scratches. Lots of them.
  25. Yeah, I occasionally click on it for news, but end up sifting through a ton of shit for a milligram of news. I'm not a smart man.
