  1. Kate Mulgrew was a piece of ass… on Cheers.
  2. Another really cool idea that delivered. Also the Holodeck scene is pretty damn funny.
  3. I feel like shit for the bartender at Pinkerton’s. Biggest Texans fan I’ve ever met. We’re never going to win shit unless we’re at home during the playoffs.
  4. What a fucking bitch.
  5. Hutchinson needs to find a nice warm spot on the bench.
  6. Personal foul, 15 yards against Houston for Taylor Swift mental anguish.
  7. I can’t take pictures, but here goes.
  8. Yeah there’s the rub. No reason to sell the convention arena land though. I’m sure the county insisted and here we are. They should have put annual minimum improvement spends in the lease with an inflation adjustment. All parties need each other and need to get along, but the HLSR needs to throw their weight around and get what they want.
  9. Gotta defer to Spoetzl here. He’s much important than I’ll ever be. I think it would be unwise to separate Livestock Show from the Rodeo/Concerts. There is land on 288, but a shit ton of it is already committed to exhibitor trailer parking and carnival parking/RVs. Yes there’s a Carny Village. There’s also operating pump jacks out there making money. And it’s a few miles down the road. It would take a massive mass transit build out to connect the sites. They just expanded exhibitor trailing parking, They drained a little retention pond and paved it over on 288. The Astroworld site (RIP) is being used for parking currently. I think the HLSR’s current preference is improvements to NRG Stadium and Center per the county lease, and knocking down NRG Arena (lease gray area) and building a new facility. No GD idea what they’d do while the new facility is being built. The Horse Show is in the Arena. Also the Rabbit and Llama Shows. I personally like NRG Arena. The best Corral Club is there, and the auction set up is great. That said, it’s basically a giant storage facility with unpainted cement floors.
  10. A very spicy subject currently. HLSR gifting the land to the county was an all time bad decision. Basically, you don’t want Harris County as a (slum)landlord. Because many reasons.
  11. The Rujo boots look great. I don’t like the stitching on the soles so I’m having it dyed. I’ll post pictures after I get them back.
  12. I’m patiently waiting for Elko to make a good decision. Klein, Moffitt, sticking with Reed instead of pursuing a portal QB. His next bad decision should be entertaining. Looch is for sure slipping into his DM’s, so cozying to him is probably next. Elko shitfaced at Manziel’s feels inevitable.
  13. Favorite film? My brother and I watched The Voyage Home and The Undiscovered Country several thousand times growing up. The battle sequence in Undiscovered County is unparalleled in Star Trek history. The Voyage Home was such a wild premise and they pulled it off while bringing attention to whale conservation. Generations is my favorite TNG film. Obviously. I was talking about this with a coworker recently and his favorite is Khan and then First Contact.
  14. Pretty good. I was hoping for more fruit, but it does have a very pleasant floral note.
  15. If Baldoni gets Wrexham AFC in the settlement, I’m going to laugh pretty hard.
  16. Bill Simmons presenting his master plan to the Celtics front office to trade Derrick White for Sengun.
  17. We should be beating these fools like Barkley on a midget at a club on Richmond.
  18. Holy shit. The Rockets are going to beat people’s kidneys in if they continue this into the postseason. I feel tarded for not buying a discount mini pack when I had the chance.
  19. I like the Bourbon Trail Libby glass for the hotter/younger/cheaper bottles to help them breathe a little bit. Especially great on ryes that run hot. https://shop.libbey.com/products/libbey-signature-kentucky-bourbon-trail-whiskey-glasses-set-of-4?srsltid=AfmBOop_frwovVt9sWt6b346aqLQzqH6n2R8m5Ma1oCxQoDIMbz80pdm Glencairns are great, but nothing can hide in that glass
  20. Serious question are they bad at picking cast members? The list of people who auditioned and didn’t get it is stunning. Imagine SNL with Jim Carey, Jennifer Coolidge, Kevin Hart, Donald Glover, or Stephen Colbert.
  21. Hopefully De Niro’s final vanity project. Based on the trailer, Genovese and Costello look and sound exactly alike, except Genovese is wearing glasses. Didn’t even bother with makeup. Costello had a very distinct voice in which De Niro makes no attempt to emulate. I suspect it’ll be a lot of sitting and talking from Bobby. That said, it’s an interesting story and we get so few mob films now that I’ll see it theaters.
  22. Bill Simmons’ attempts to mind fuck the Rockets into trading Sengun last summer remains his hackiest bit.
  23. I believe the deputy was part of a special unit that serves warrants to violent offenders. I hope there’s hazard pay for those guys. Jesus what a dangerous job. If this piece of shit was out on a cashless bond, I gonna puke.
  24. More canaries dropping: https://www.kentucky.com/news/business/article298512273.html
