  1. Lol. Other schools only have one starting qb. aggy has four, maybe five!
  2. Texas 28 OSU 24 Arch gets 256 combined yards.
  3. I found the carcass of a dog on my property this afternoon. It looks like someone had him chained up, but the chain came unhooked and the dog wandered away, dragging the chain. The chain got tangled in some brush toward the back of my place, in an area where I rarely go, and the dog died there. Poor thing. I wish that I had found it when it first got tangled. It's apparent that it struggled for a while. The sheriff's department is going to see if anyone in the area has reported a missing dog, but it's unlikely that the owner will be found. The carcass has been there a while and been picked over. There was no tag, and if it was chipped the scavengers have almost certainly eaten the chip. I'm both very sad and incredibly pissed.
  4. My mom started me birdwatching when I was 5, and I've been at it informally, off and on, the 60 years since. It has always been my understanding that mimicking bird calls to bring them in is not considered good birdwatching etiquette. It changes the behaviors of the bird and can put them in danger that they otherwise would avoid. Beyond that, it's too much like hunting for my taste. I consider birdwatching to be a "finding" past time rather than a "hunting" past time.
  5. I have two neighbors who let their cats wander more or less freely. I hate what they do to birds, but I haven't seen a copperhead on my place in two years. I saw one of the cats dragging a big, dead copperhead down the road the other day, parading it as if to say,"See this snakes? I'll fuck you up, too!"
  6. That's bullshit!
  7. Damn, @SHOOTER12! I hope that you get healed up quickly.
  8. Pato, you're good, but you're no Nick Lowe.
  9. No, but I have had a fantastic 30 minutes or so catching spanish mackerel working a bait ball a few times.
  10. If I can't troll a ribbonfish off the fantail and get the captain to stop so I can land the kingfish, well, I'm just not interested.
  11. I keep getting calls telling me that my loan has been approved for up to $40,000, but they just need a little more information. I have been letting them go to voicemail and deleting them there, but I answered one yesterday. (I was expecting a call from a medical number that isn't in my contacts.) It wasn't a live person, just the same recording that they leave on the voicemail telling you the number to call back and finish getting scammed, I mean getting your totally legitimate loan. I guess that if you call back they can argue that it's not a scam if you took positive action to contact them. My parents are both gone now, so I guess that I just have to worry about my wife and me. I'm pretty confident that I'll recognize scammers, but my wife? Well, I'll just say that I'm concerned.
  12. R. Lee Ermy - "Well. No shit."
  13. Today I learned that the Vandy whistler is likely from India. Man, that sucks. When the mountains do a mass wasting event, the don't fuck around.
  14. Come on, now. According to sheeeit, you're ignoring the positive aspects. You know, fewer of "them".
  15. Do not dispose of the paint in liquid form. Open the lid and allow the paint to dry thoroughly, then dispose of it. @tbone_ is correct. This is to keep paint out of waterways and groundwater. Most modern paints are low VOC, so they do not pollute the air as much, either.
  16. My dad raised me to never eat seafood more than two hours drive from saltwater. That rule has served me well all the days of my life. First and last time I ate at a Longjohn Silver's my mom wanted to try it on a trip into Houston for supplies for her craft shop. The floor was so greasy that we could barely stay upright. We stayed and tried it anyway and found that the slick floor was the highlight of the experience.
  17. Where's the wooden spoon? Or ping pong paddle?
  18. "It is wrong to starve people and shoot them when they gather to get food." "It's ok because Hamas. They should all die because you can't prove that they're not Hamas." Good God! Supporting genocide "because Hamas". Soulless ghouls.
  19. I think the guy on the left is @RamjetFDO.
  20. I hope that whoever invented summer sausage lived a long, healthy, happy life and is enjoying a special place right now.
  21. If DMO uses words with three or more syllables his speech pattern is too complex for about 98% of aggy.
  22. Obligatory "My dad says butane is a bastard gas."
  23. Is it the one that went off? Maybe? This puzzles me. Grenades have to have the initiating mechanism in place to go off. Screw out the initiating mechanism and it takes a lot to set off the filler. Surely explosives experts would have removed the initiators before moving them. I guess that if the grenade was very old and the filler was degraded it might be more sensitive and easier to set off, but it sounds to me like someone was playing around and got Darwined. CSB: My reserve unit went to MCAGCC 29 Palms for live fire training. The night before we returned, the entire battalion had a complete dump everything on the rack gear inspection to ensure that no one took home any C4, live ammo, or other dangerous souvenirs. One Marine in my company had two live smoke grenades and one high explosive hand grenade in his sea bag. He had another HE grenade in his ALICE pack. A Marine in another company had three 40mm grenades, one of which was white phosphorus, in his sea bag. Explosions and the explosives that cause them make people stupid.
