  1. Ain't no shame in a stroll down memory lane.
  2. Outside the spirit of this thread, I'd appreciate the opportunity to buy you an $18 beer at an Astros game some day.
  3. What'd the kiddo think of Eyes Wide Shut? Stuff that chimney!!!
  4. That's a plus I failed to mention. Count me as a fan of pre-purchased seating.
  5. Cowboys already have the biggest run stuffer of all time, and it ain't our friend from Port Arthur.
  6. Why would there be looting in a town filled with aggys?
  7. He can afford tickets either way. The injury doesn't even factor.
  8. The host plenty of whales. They host plenty of whales though.
  9. Why did Idaho and Iowa need to be castrated?
  10. This song came out in 1981. This board has been singing it full throat for some time now...
  11. The handwringing over QB is like worrying about which carrots you want, and there's no roast in the pot.
  12. Subtitles detract from the film to me. The only time I'm OK with it is if the film maker deems it necessary to convey the actors words/ thoughts to me. When we were sharing Netflix accounts, one of my sons would leave subtitles on, and I'd immediately turn them off, at the time I think it was during Peaky Blinders. I've never thought about it like Kingkoopa6 describes above, but it really distracts me from "taking in" everything that's happening on the screen. I actually like the previews, but sometimes, I think to myself, "that's 4 movies I will absolutely NOT be coming to the theater to watch." When our kids were little, they liked the previews, because typically the previews matched up genres with that which we were already there to watch. If we were there to see POTC, and you got 3 romcoms and a horror flick, yeah, they'd be saying, "This sucks!" but if it's the next Spiderman and a Christmas movie or something, yeah, they liked em. Concessions are what they are. We typically would get the big bucket of popcorn and drinks for everyone. We smuggled in candy. No ragrets.
  13. If it's a long movie, I prefer it at the house, so I can break it up. That being said, I watched Oppenheimer by myself at the theater last year and loved it. Wife recently asked me to go see the Brutalist, and I said fuck no. It's gotta be compelling history or a damn good epic story for me to do that. Wife goes to a movie about 3X per month. It's what she likes to do for a getaway/ escapism, and I support it bigtime, just not for me. I don't like other people. Sorry, but fuck your jabbering. Fuck your popping your knee repeatedly during the movie. Just fuck that experience in general. If it's a comic book/ fun story like LOTR, I'm cool with kids being kids. I'm good with that. Adults need to STFU. Don't tell me I need to watch more shit at the theater until you can beat my experience for the $ at my house.
  14. Jimmy Johnson officially retired from NFL Commentating. Good luck and Hoping for fair seas, great fishing, and more family time. When it came up in my FB feed, I thought the worst. I was grateful it was just a retirement annoumncement.
  15. That and I have a bit of an accent. Drill Instructors had fun with that shit. Then they want to see your belt buckles and ask if you rode a horse to school...
  16. a ribeye and 2-3 pours at Saint Arnold are a great way to celebrate 2MAR36. Did that a few times when we still lived in Houston area. I moved here when I was 6. Owned being a Texan bigtime in the military, because once people find out, they gotta bring it up. It happens to lesser extent in corporate culture. I like being a Texan. I like steak and beer. I appreciate our history, even if it is not perfect. I wish certain things were pointed in a different direction, as of late.
  17. Zero % clastrophobic. Can smell cigarette smoke from someone in a parked car like 5-6 cars down or around the corner at a building. Not ranting against smokes, but because of this sense of smell, it's a dire affliction for me when people don't fucking bathe. That shit is infinitely worse than close spaces. I want to heave and then do whatever I have to do to get away from it. Airplanes are pure torture sometimes. It's beyond me how people know they are getting onto a (public) plane and can't wash their filthy ass. Same goes for out at stores or whatever. People will walk by just reeking, and I'm like, "What the fuck is wrong with you that you don't care for others enough to take a fucking bath?" It's gross. It's everywhere...and I'm not germophobe dude. I just don't want to smell it.
  18. Re: the KU racial remarks I've seen this discussion on 2 other non-KU and non-Tech boards today, not counting surly. People are wanting to expose the posters and are done with this shit. "Let's make them famous" is one remark, with which i agree.
  19. At Burbank, you still board the plane forward and aft, as in, no jetways, just stairs.. I stroll to the rear of the plane as I typically have exit row 16/ 17. Fuck all of that shit up front with, "Would you like a fucking Mimosa while all of these folks are trying to board?" It eliminates the entitled bullshit, as well.
  20. Saquon played on a team of scrubs in NJ. Deebo was the 3rd weapon on offense, if that.
  21. That's where I'm at. I don't plan travel around lounge time or whatever. I view it more as an insurance policy for a shitty travel day. My layovers at DFW are typically 75 minutes or less, when I can; but then life happens sometimes.
  22. Check on his dog...
  23. Dumb question amnesty, and I am asking this as someone who deliberately schedules relatively tight layovers through DFW, which occur for any flight I take. Lounges are not a priority for me at all, but if I got in a bind, I'd like to know this: On One World Emerald status, it lists "Business and First Class Lounge ACCESS" as a benefit. Does that mean access to the lounge with credentials or the ability to pay a fee to gain access?
  24. Holy shit this game at The Shoe... DGAF about either team. Fun hockey though...
