  1. Duncanville is playing nationally ranked St. John’s (Washington, DC) this Saturday in Duncanville. I’m considering driving up for this game.
  2. Chris Parson might be one to watch. Freshman QB at Duncanville. JQJ’s backup. He got to play a little bit in the second half last night against South Oak Cliff and threw this TD.
  3. He’s lived in Austin for a while. Big UT fan. Came out and talked to the team in 2017. https://www.hookem.com/2017/03/24/wwe-star-undertaker-visits-longhorns-practice-shares-life-story/
  4. We were supposed to fly to Orlando this morning and back on Tuesday for Disney World and the opening of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios. We had to cancel. Orlando airport is scheduled to shut down on Monday at 2am.
  5. I’ll be watching this thread closely over the next 24 hours. Supposed to fly to Orlando Friday morning to take the kids to Disney World Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
  6. If I’m not mistaken, the gold Jazz Bass is the 60s version with dot markers. The silver is the 70s version with block markers. Go for the gold.
  7. I spent months considering this same question before I lucked out and found a period-correct Oxford for my 64 DR. I almost bought the George Alessandro/Eminence GA-SC64, and I still might pick one up down the road. It gets rave reviews, specifically when used in the Deluxe Reverb. https://www.eminence.com/pdf/GA_SC64.pdf
  8. Here’s the original tweet and video from a few weeks ago.
  9. Someone who gets a lot of Twitter traffic, like Longhorn Frenzy, needs to tweet this. Maybe tag Carrington in the tweet. It’ll get around.
  10. I believe that is a Bruno Royal Artist, and like DougO said, it was a Japanese import. Do you know what year that photo was taken? From what I can tell, the model SRV is playing came out in 1970. It looks like the earlier models from around 1967 had the input jack on the front of the guitar.
  11. Yup, it was Insomnia, later Metro. I lived at the Woo my first year at UT (94-95) and spent many late nights there. There was an Eckerd Drugs next door back then. The kid who played Hirschfelder in Dazed and Confused worked there for a while.
  12. Kizer’s concoction was a double shot of Starbucks espresso poured into a 24 oz Steel Reserve High Gravity Malt Liquor in a Styrofoam cup full of ice. Called it ‘beer coffee’.
  13. Haven’t seen this posted on Surly, but this is getting some views on Twitter today.
  14. Dershowitz is feeling the heat. Here is an op-ed he wrote trying to discredit The New Yorker which is about to publish an article on him and underage girls. Dershowitz claims that the upcoming hit-piece is a leftist attempt to silence him because of his defense of Trump, Netanyahu and the state of Israel. https://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/924825
  15. The 2003 Vanity Fair profile on Epstein was in a Twitter post a couple pages back, but I’m linking here in case anyone missed it. It goes into a bit of detail on Epstein’s financial dealings in the 80s and 90s including his business deals with Hoffenberg. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2003/03/jeffrey-epstein-200303 The article mentions his penchant for young women which was known at the time, but the reporter has since come out and said that a part of the article that mentioned the allegations with underage girls was cut by her editor.
  16. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/01/fashion/donald-trump-melania-modeling-agent-paolo-zampolli-daily-mail.html Melania met Paolo Zampolli at a casting call in Milan in the mid-90s. Zampolli is an Italian guy who was a talent scout for a modeling agency and ran around the NYC nightclub scene with Trump and John Casablancas who owned Elite Model Management. Melania to move to the US in 1996. Zampolli helped her get an H-1B visa to stay here and work as a model. He introduced her to Trump in 1998. The Times article mentions that Zampolli made an unsuccessful bid to buy Elite in a 2004 auction after Casablancas went bankrupt. What that article doesn’t mention is that Zampolli’s business partner in that failed venture to buy Elite was Epstein.
  17. Law enforcement is on the lookout for the Lufkin Licker. Statement from Blue Bell: “We have identified a Walmart in Lufkin, Texas, as the store where the malicious act of food tampering took place. Our staff recognized the location in the video, and we inspected the freezer case. We found a Tin Roof half gallon that appears to have been compromised. Based on security footage, the location and the inspection of the carton, we believe we may have recovered the half gallon that was tampered with. Out of an abundance of caution, we have also removed all Tin Roof half gallons from that location...” More here: https://abc13.com/food/police-wont-quit-until-blue-bell-licker-is-captured/5377253/
  18. Yes it was back in March when that happened. You can check out the lil Broughton bro on his Twitter which has his football and basketball highlights plus him tagging along with his big brother on all his visits.
