  1. Ewers put the team in damn near identical condition. With even less time on the game clock, no timeouts, the D let 0U go 75 and a TD in what, five plays. Basically the same situation for Bama in Austin, although we only had a two-point lead to protect and couldn't do it that time, either.
  2. You mean my nephew? Yeah, little whippersnapper posts here sometimes.
  3. My four years at Texas saw the '61-'64 teams go 40-3-1. That record was made possible by the man I still refer to as Saint Darrell, and there is only a very small tip of my tongue in cheek when I call him that. Tommy Nobis was hands down the best football player I saw, before, during, and after that time. The only real comparison Texas has had since then is Earl Campbell. He never got to show off his complete suite of prowess in college, altough he was in HS probably the best LB in the state as well as nest RB... I would venture to say he would likely have been the best LB in college, too, if the game hadn't changed to unlimited substitution. There are plenty of arguments for Players Mount Rushmore, but the one name you absolutely cannot leave off is Tommy Nobis. Hook'em
  4. Nah - no more than I missed Age of Consent or (the above) Excalibur... I mean, the woman has a filmography a mile long. Man needs an Italian spaghetti bib to watch any of her movies.
  5. Kept an eye or two on Helen Mirren since ... O Lucky Man, Caligula, The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover... one of the all-timers.
  6. It's worse than that. He often doesn't read his first read first.
  7. Man, it takes a LOT of bandly talent to not merely march almost in step, but also to play horns with no mouthpiece.
  8. When I was 10, staying with my grandma, I used to walk or ride my bike a little over a mile up to the highway, another quarter-mile to the liquor store and buy her an ass-pocket of whisky and a pack of Viceroys. And they'd gladly sell it to me and give back the right change. Sometimes I'd get the pennies' or even a nickel's worth of change in Bazooka bubble gum, penny apiece. And I'd walk back with that little brown paper bag. Nobody got arrested.
  9. Kohen = Khan = King
  10. Tell me you have no idea how manual shift transmissions work without telling me you have no idea what "shifting gears" means... Heh heh heh...I said "trans" and "missions"... like I know what the missions might be...
  11. Linoleum =/= Plastic
  12. Nah. Bath sheet >> Bath towel, size-wise. Face towel >> Wash cloth, size-wise, but wash cloth thicker. You seem to be thinking of dish cloths and wash rags. Prolly same thought patterns that lead Surly to believe that a toilet attachment is somehow a bidet, when it's really an ass-washer, while a real bidet is a separate thing altogether.
  13. Yeah, sure. Which one is she? Asking for a fiend friend.
  14. Speaking of cool shit in the local Nearly New... Harper's library has (or used to have) a resale shop with some weird and also some damn fine stuff. Def worth a look, if you aren't in a hurry. ETA Harper is on 290 about halfway between FBurg and I10.
  15. No PJ rotation. I sleep buck nekkid. I do keep a robe nearby, in case a fire or other emergency requires action. Sheets? When a night sweat (or other sweat-inducing occurrences) stickies 'em up, or the crumb quotient exceeds sleepability levels.
  16. You use "Dog Years" too, right?
  17. Surly notwithstanding, bidets can't handle all your cleanliness needs.
  18. As Bum said, "I ain't too sure about the class size, but it don't take long to call roll."
  19. I give him 9.3 - coulda been higher, but didn't stick the landing.
  20. I solved the towel insanity by getting "my own" set - bright red, nothing else in the house like it. Bath sheet, bath towel, face towel, coupla wash cloths. Wash 'em myself when I think they need it, all together so they fade at same rate. All I need now is a big red mat...
  21. I take it you're not familiar with the Boerne "Jew Pound". That coffee can in the photo had for many years had 16 oz of coffee in it. Errybody - Folger's, Maxwell House, French Market... errybody - had 16 oz of coffee in that size can. Somewhere in the 70's (I think) most of them started puffing up their grounds with air, and selling 12 oz of coffee in that same size can. French Market didn't do that, and one of their advertising points was "still a Full 16 Ounces". I was having breakfast one morning, that little cafe near the courthouse in Boerne, early enough that there were a couple of tables full of old farmers, and the one nearer me had as a topic of conversation the sad fact that their coffee now came in a can that looked full, but was only a "Jew Pound". The antisemitic bastards probably all had German names.
  22. At least it's still a 16 ounce pound...
