  1. Probably a Chinese war lab.
  2. More like bear slapped imo.
  3. I hope that poor peace officer made it home safe.
  4. He's a doctor. You have to answer.

    Tinnitus

    Ever since I got my hearing aids I don't notice the ringing near as much.
  6. Charlie Murphy and Rick James, bitch.
  7. Same for me. The shingles vaccines though kick my ass royally for 24 hours.
  8. You may have it confused with what, up until a few years ago, was called the Kountry Kitchen Kafe in Hico, Lampasas's neighboring town. Now they have removed the racism and just call it Koffee Kup. I guess that was around the time they removed the mural of a lynching from downtown.
  9. So is the play to water just enough so that my St. Augustine and Bermuda don't completely die or will it come back if I just stop watering altogether?
  10. That looked like part of his tooth flew out of his mouth.
  11. I love her and want her to be my next ex-wife.
  12. So this thread died? Just like my lawn.
  13. It will only be 110 degrees with no breeze down by the river. What could go wrong.
  14. I wonder when this will happen again? Satan’s Storm Texas residents in Kopperl, Texas experienced a most unusual event on June 15, 1960. A heat wave so hot as if it came from hell itself – it was named “Satan’s Storm.” It was a normal evening like any other night in Texas; when, all of sudden, a strong wind came bursting through the town with gusts up to 75 miles per hour, causing damage like knocking down trees and taking off roofs. But that was not the worst part of it. Suddenly, the temperature began rising from a comfortable 70 degrees up to 120 degrees, then on up to 130 degrees, and continued to climb as high as 140 degrees in just a few minutes. The air was so intensely hot that it made it extremely difficult for people to breathe. People became alarmed when their air conditioners stopped working because of transformers in the area getting overheated. Even the town thermometer broke! Imagine waking up to that! Some people rushed out of the house thinking that their houses were on fire and others thought it was the end of the world. Some people said it was so hot that their throats literally burned and there were parents wrapping their children in wet blankets trying to cool them down. By morning, it was all over. The temperature was back to normal but what a “hellish” night they had to endure. Stepping outside, the residents could view the aftermath, which consisted of burnt crops as well as leaves on the trees and shrubs crumbled to mere dust – it looked as though it had been set on fire. We now know this to be what is called a heat burst, which is descending air that warms really fast because of atmospheric compression.
  15. John Cale, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, David Byrne playing together (NYC, 1976) (This might have been posted already but I dgaf)
  16. https://otolawn.com/pages/lawn Anyone try this sprinkler doodad? Looks like it has potential.
  17. Can this thing image close-up stars too? They could take a look at what happened to Alpha Centauri like 4.5 years ago.
  18. Are most of the fires started by lightning or what?
  19. depends on how close to Brazos County you are...
