Is it worth a lawsuit?
You're not from around here, are ya?

Is it worth a lawsuit?
How much time did you waste writing that reply and repeating yourself all over again?

Is it worth a lawsuit?
Is your time worth nothing? After 4+ years, you really just wanna piece of that, huh? I'll acknowledge that getting fucked out of ANY money sucks, but...c'mon. How much time are you actually willing to squander on this?

Favorite Hot Sauce
I foresaw this. It was only a matter of time before Buck saw it and started whipping his capsaicin-proof dick around in a pinwheel, shouting, "Look at me! I'm a real man!" Jesus Christ.....

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
Running through the car wash every 2nd or 3rd day lately. My $25 Smitty's membership is definitely paying off.

Could You Move to a Small Town
Wise words. Currently living in Lufkin, and the people here…definitely a mixed bag.

Could You Move to a Small Town
Lotsa loose women in the Quad Cities. Good times…

Port Aransas
I've been gone a long time, but Pier 99 and Blackbeards have been fixtures on North Beach for forever. If you don't feel like crossing the bridge multiple times to get back and forth to the Whataburger, those could be possible lunch option before doing the Lex.

Underrated or ignored albums you think are incredible
Slave To The Thrill is a personal favorite of mine. And also Kelly’s Perfect World album. Damn good stuff from a great guy.

Have you contracted Covid-19?
Wife has it for the 5th or 6th time. Previous times, she just shook it off. We’ve been traveling a bit and dealing with the usual allergy issues with all the recent weather changes. Her scratchy throat and congestion turned into a cold. She worked through it all, sicker every day. Finally, she went to the doctor Friday morn because she could feel in her face and ear that she was getting a sinus infection. Her doc tested her. Positive. Came home with Paxlovid, Cipro, steroids, ear drops, and Albuterol and collapsed on the couch for the weekend. Lotsa decongestant and Mucinex as well. Just now starting to feel worth a damn. The shit she’s coughing up is the consistency of Elmer’s glue. Unreal. Somehow, I have dodged this bullet. Maybe because I got the bi-variant Moderna 4th shot and she didn’t? Who knows? Or maybe because she’s around it every damn day. This virus blows.

Im coming to Austin
Headed back to town for the first time since last May. Last time was a buddy-trip; this time a wife-trip. Driving in Thursday, staying at The Westin downtown. Apps and light dinner at Eddie V's (worth it?), then front row for Itzhak Perlman at The Long Center. Not headed home until Monday, and not much on the agenda except rabble-rousing, shenanigans, and general mayhem: Friday evening: res at Midnight Cowboy, then burgers and drunkenness at Casino El Camino. Sunday: Dim Sum Brunch at Wu Chow. All my old haunts don't exist anymore. Will gladly take recommendations on downtown dive bars, lounges, taco joints, breakfast places. We plan on staying on foot (or a short Uber). Anybody else goofing off downtown? Will gladly pick up a round. Anyone up for a Surly HH?

Heading to Fredricksburg from Houston
We are normally Bonvoy points whores, but got tired of staying in The Fairfield, which is the only Bonvoy property there. However...IF you are Marriott member, check out the Homes & Villas in the area. If you're not Marriott, well...just disregard. If you don't mind the noise, I've stayed above the Brewery before. Also, the Winchester Lodge has some interesting room options.

Concerts you are attending
Saw Marc Broussard at the Dosey Doe in The Woodlands last night. Played there last Valentine’s weekend as well. Was a damn good time. So much soul in that white boy.

San Antonio
Old gf of mine is a bar manager there. I pop in to catch up with her when I’m there. Place is always a little shittier than it was the time before.

Traveling to Shreveport for the Independence Bowl
I figured I would start with the casino, piss away the mortgage, buy drinks for hookers, etc. An interesting bar or food rec would not hurt, though. Would prefer divey locals joints than the touristy stuff. Nice to know the hotel is decent. Thanks!

Traveling to Shreveport for the Independence Bowl
Bumping this. Gonna be stuck in Bossier City at the Marriott Courtyard on the boardwalk for 3 days next week. Looks like I'm sandwiched between a casino and an outlet mall. I'm usually pretty savvy at getting out and exploring on my own, but does anyone have anything interesting to get into there?

London
Another thumbs up for the Dickens Inn here. Very nice place to hang out and goof off. A bit premature to get excited about, but we are booked for the holidays. High-rollin' in First Class from DFW to LHR on Thanksgiving Day. Three week stay at a flat in Wapping on the Thames. Gonna soak up the Christmas season, see some shows, and...I dunno yet. But...we're booked! Woohoo!

You know how you know you’re not cool anymore?
Things I had to Google while reading this thread. Aerial America Modest Mouse Fuck it, man...I'm still cool. Always have been. Just turned 52 and settled down quite a bit, but I'm still the sociable, mostly extroverted, hard-rockin' guy that I've always been. Raised on proper manners with a decent education that I've only barely utilized. Mostly did things my way and also learned from my mistakes. I have friendships that have lasted decades, my hobbies have always been the same, I still dress the same, still (apparently) have sex appeal, married to an adorable nerd who's way too good for me. Despite my ever-declining opinion of mankind, I genuinely like people, and they seem to like me, so...I must be doing something right. What I don't give a fuck about: changing pop-culture trends, television, personal drama, and society's growing narcissism. But yeah...I might be THAT dude banging my head to Whitesnake in the grocery store. While I'm picking out that perfect brisket for the weekend...

Random TV shows/thoughts that don’t warrant their own thread.
Ab Fab (Absolutely Fabulous) with Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, and Julia Sawalha...great show.

Random TV shows/thoughts that don’t warrant their own thread.
You didn’t really clearly state anything. “I’m all app’d out” seems like a bit of a beta response. I’m sorry you’re so goddam sensitive on a message board. And I’m sorry that don’y really wanna try that hard to find your (evidently) beloved British shows that you’ve never seen. How much googling did you have to do for that response? Triggered much?
