  1. Double fucking coverage, loser
  2. Save the trip to Monterey for another time because 17-Mile Drive and some the piers look jacked up. Plenty of good suggestions above to keep you busy for a weekend visit to the area. Ghirardelli Square is good for kids. You can catch the Powell/Hyde Cable Car from nearby.
  3. While the Idaho officials are keeping things tight, a few details are starting to leak from the PA authorities and others, including the allegation that he stalked these girls for weeks. He was also a creep to women who worked at a brewery and rejected his advances. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11589659/Bryan-Kohberger-went-teaching-University-Idaho-murders.html
  4. This x1000. My least favorite aspect of what Austin has become: new people who are hell-bent to change Austin into the place they left. Some chick told me a few years ago with a straight face that Austin dining and shopping got so much better once so many New Yorkers started to move here. Fuck. Off. And yes, I know Austin has always had the "it used to be so much better before all these people moved here" attitude, and maybe it's just a function of me getting older, but it's exhausting listening to new Austinites lecture us about everything that needs to be different to suit their preferences. I've also been thinking about our exit for a few years now. Once the kids are finished with school and we're ready to retire, peace out.

  6. And why the fuck not
  7. I feel like I could fill up a page, but here are three from this week: HEB not accepting Apple Pay. Associates cc-ing themselves on every fucking email they send me. Dude, if you really can't stay organized enough to not need two copies of every fucking email you send, then bcc yourself. Waiters who offer to "curate" a menu for me. I can read and pick from the handy sheet that the hostess gave me when I sat down, asshole.
  8. First flight out the day after TG is a breeze, but agree on Christmas. No thank you.
  9. Love's Labor Lost Wasn't even close to parenthood when that episode aired, but holy shit that one stuck with me.
  10. Wrapping up a week in NYC (first visit in about 10 years and first with kids), so here it goes: Yup, the smell of weed is everywhere. Haven't read the article quoted above, but I was surprised how prevalent it was. Maybe I shouldn't have been, but whatever, it's definitely a thing. I'll save the rest of my thoughts for another day on a different board. Here were our highlights with kids (15 and 12) in tow: Dinner at BXL -- dug the vibe, and the staff was great Sunday brunch at Balthazar La Ferrara Bakery on Mulberry (went back for more rainbow cookies a few days later) The Met The Rockettes Christmas Spectacular Momofuku Noodle Bar -- perfect pre-theater dinner Funny Girl -- Lea Michele killed it Polo Bar -- pain in the ass to get a reservation, but it was so worth it We also did the Macy's parade (watched a lot from Essex House lobby) and Empire State Building observation decks. Prob not as good as the Summit One rec'd above, but the kids wanted to do ESB because of Elf, so there you go. Again, thanks to @PenelopeWitherspoon, @The Ace of Aces, and others I know I'm missing for so many solid recommendations.
  11. He's damn sure not gonna risk taking a body shot by extending for a catch over the middle. He's made that pretty clear this season. Agree JWhitt should be #1 target.
  12. Night started off with poor timing. Felt like the band came out late, maybe because of the parachutes, team came running out before the intro bells finished and the song build up, and the pre-kick off Texas-Fight goes away for the hype video. Then the volume seemed way louder than usual. I'm not an old fogey, but holy shit, I couldn't hear the people next to me. And for the love of God why have we not moved on from Bob Cole. Cronkite can stay so long as that MF is still polluting the stadium.
  13. "You're from... uh... Texas."
  14. Nope. The camp under the I-35/Airport overpass looks like it's never been cleaned out -- which it actually was once or twice after the camping ban went into effect. Maybe the downtown camps are cleaned out, but other open and obvious ones around town are thriving.
  15. Well, we know lists don't work for them.

    QB Slide Rule

    Bingo. Once the QB crosses the line of scrimmage, he's like any other ball carrier. Run out of bounds if you don't want to get hit. This is an interesting compromise.
  17. And then make it clear behind the scenes to the remaining Big12 schools that we hope they enjoy their last swings at us, because we will never put them on our schedule again.
  18. This. The fucking secondary too often just stands and watches someone else almost make the tackle and then go "on shit" and try to recover too late. Whatever it is, lack of effort, poor alignment with the D-line, or just shitty play, it's got to get fixed.
  19. Looks cool. Will definitely add to our list. I am getting down to details for our trip Thanksgiving week. This will be our girls' first time to the city (they're 16 and 13), so we're also hitting the classics as well. Will see the Rockettes and getting tickets to &Juliet. Any recommendations for Thanksgiving dinner that's either a great atmosphere or (even better) non-traditional Thanksgiving food? My family isn't huge fans of the turkey-dressing dinner. Our favorite Thanksgiving meal to date was an Italian place in London, so we'd actually prefer something different. Thanks in advance and for all the other great recs on this thread!
  20. Was just thinking that, time wise, this feels like an AL east game.
  21. I thought that too after last week. But now I'm convinced the conference just shrugs their shoulders, says fuck off, and it gets worse.
  22. I don't know what prompted this, but yes.
