  1. That's good to hear--up until the Monday before everything closed, I was one of the few that wiped down after using every machine/bench (and nothing crazy, but definitely did it). For 2 days, it was pretty funny to see everyone else doing it. Haven't had the opportunity to check post-reopening (24s still closed, not sure Planet is worth the trip just yet), but will be interested to see if anything has changed....
  2. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/04/us/mcmichaels-hearing-ahmaud-arbery/index.html Yeah, I think we're done here. Any hope any of them had evaporated when they found proof that Arbery had been struck by Bryan's truck. One would hope they would spare everyone the pain of a trial, but we know that won't happen.
  3. If I had to make odds: Was a football player or wrestler in high school: -200 Has had jiu jitsu training in the past 2 years: -110 None of the above: +1000
  4. This thread has taken a (couple) fascinating turns--I didn't know about the Austin connections for Adams, but after reading the posts was thinking that it reminded me of the the Mike Judge movie "Extract", and sure enough, that was part of the inspiration (apologies in advance if that was previously discussed on the old site). And ditto on Tillamook--haven't had their regular ice cream, but their ice cream sandwiches and cheeses are awesome. Oh, and to stay on topic, for some unbeknownst reason randomly had some Blue Bell "homemade" vanilla in the freezer and made the mistake of eating some earlier this week--I promptly got sick and after throwing the rest of it out am now fully on board the "f those guys" bandwagon....
  5. That's awesome, man! Hope y'all are staying well... As for the actual games, I have almost been avoiding the coverage because I keep expecting something to come up that prevents it from happening. And if it does, I can't wait for the look on my wife's face when every tv in the house is on a Bundesliga game on Saturday morning at 8:30....
  6. Doesn't look like it (primarily just Iowa, with other locations sprinkled throughout the midwest). For some reason, I thought they were more prevalent in Ohio (where I had family), but maybe those were similar "knock-offs". I would think Austin would have had at least 1 place that served something similar, maybe? If I ever get "redlined" from a housing perspective, I hope my residence is in the Bacon Perfection zone....
  7. All this made me ponder how one would describe the infamous "Maid-Rites". Turns out (per their website) they self-identify as a "loose meat, fresh ground beef sandwich". Yeah, yeah, South Austin's mom, yada, yada, yada...
  8. Ha! It's only showing up once on mine, but wouldn't doubt it--it took me wayyyyy too long to figure out how to correctly quote both posts. I mean, we've only been doing this for 20+ years, right? (in today's sobering reminder of how old some of us are getting).....
  9. Liked and quoted because it got stuck at the bottom of the last page. I would say username and whatnot, but you didn't say "scared to death"....
  10. J-O-D-Y..J-O-D-Y...J-O-D-Y Davissss. Damn, we're getting old...
  11. I want you to think about what you've done, Kent, and from now on...stop playing with yourself.
  12. For any that decide to jump in and pick Dortmund due to American players/whatever, prepare to be kicked in the dick repeatedly by Bayern...sincerely, BVB
  13. Nah, the site just took a short nap on the side of the road for a couple of hours near Bruceville-Eddy...
  14. My "furlough" started last week...but I don't have a good feeling about them bringing us back (local government entity/school sales, so it could be a while before they are functioning again from a Purchasing perspective). Of course, that pales in comparison to some of the other stuff going on out there--positive thoughts for you and your coworkers friends and family, AUS-97
  15. At this point I have no idea if RayDog is a bit or not, but either way I appreciate the levity to what is a completely f***ed situation...
  16. Unrelated (I think) to everything going on recently, I have been to see a doctor more frequently than normal over the past few months... "Hey, I'm just going to be honest with you--let's not recommend/prescribe anything that would cause concern about liver function. Just looking out for us both...."
  17. I don't think it's appropriate to quote anything to the interested parties in case they decide to delete later, but in a thread about thousands dead due to a weird pandemic I would not think it possible to dial up the crazy any higher. And yet, like so many have said, here we are....
  18. This was great for a couple of reasons, including an appearance by ole Billy redface, with hair!
  19. Penelope, sorry (obviously) not ChiTownDoc, but wanted to specifically mention this--I think it was Good Morning America that had a doctor on this morning and part of their summary was spread is primarily via person-to-person airborne/aerosol contact. I thought that was interesting because Dr. Price's information is definitely being shared a lot on the internet right now. Sorry, not much to add other than there doesn't seem to be much consensus/consistent messaging out right now.
  20. "Can Pancho actually get liquor delivered?" isn't quite the new "they canceled the Houston rodeo"...but we are trying....
  21. Moonshine shot(s) to soothe the pain? Too soon?
  22. I think that play-by-play reminded me that I haven't laughed in a week, and not like that in a long time--many thanks and kudos, AG. Times like this remind me the need to be more active so I can give out more rep...
