  1. Home of the Big Mick - fuck sesame seeds.
  2. I think some of the issue has to do with the definition of a drink: a 12-ounce can of regular beer at 5% alcohol by volume; a 5-ounce glass of wine at 12% alcohol by volume; a 1.5-ounce shot glass of distilled spirits at 40% alcohol by volume. Pint of beer = more than a drink Beer at greater than 5% abv = more than a drink Wine in a water goblet (Mrs. Callo) = more than a drink Higher proof bourbon = more than a drink
  3. I liked season 2 - watching the front man imbed and compete in the games, the dynamics of the player relationships (mom & son, crypto guy and rapper), soldier 011, etc.
  4. Going out on a limb here, but I'm not entirely sure that people are honest when questioned about how much alcohol they consume.
  5. I don't think the refs like ND. Can't really blame them, but they missed two real penalties during that drive.
  6. Seems like I'd heard half of the jokes before. Maybe he used them in his last SNL monologue.
  7. It's not a full push up unless your beard and your hair touch the ground.
  8. "My wife told me I couldn't yell at the TV at the house, so I came here to yell at the TV at the bar,"
  9. Stared this morning by rinsing and sorting black-eyed peas - eventually realizing that I was rinsing pinto beans. Fuck. Off to HEB for some actual black-eyed peas. Peas and cornbread while watching the game. Sous vide pork chops, bacon grease sautéed cabbage, and more black-eyed peas for dinner.
  10. After several years with everyone on my list surviving, I hit with three in 2024 for a total of 121 points (Richard Lewis, Shannen Doherty, and Jonnie Irwin). My picks came in a couple days late, though.
  11. My oldest, who graduates UT in May, watched the game at a bar in Phoenix. She said she changed the fight song to "goodbye to ASU" which was met with booing all around. HOOK'EM!
  12. Who would have thought that a coach willing to go for it on 4th and 10, might fake a point?
  13. Radio call disappeared. Silence is still better than national call.
  14. And by contacted, they likely mean door kicked down at 3:30 am this morning.
  15. Usually terrorism requires destruction or killing for political aims. Until some motive is developed, FBI isn't going to classify as terrorism.
  16. I suspect this "can you help me with this?" thread pops up some when people are searching the interwebs for help. I also suspect those people are surprised with the level of help provided by Surly.
  17. Usual Suspects was the best ending by far.
  18. Checked out a new place today - BBQ Fiends in Hutto. A truck parked at Rockabilly Brewery on a hill above Brushy Creek just south of town. One of today's specials was The Manchaca - brisket, refried beans, bacon, and fried egg served on a tortilla (clear homage to Valentina's Real Deal Holyfield). Pretty damn good. I got a half pound of brisket, half pound of pork ribs, a chorizoqueso sausage, elotes, and potato salad to go. Good write up by Daniel Vaughan a few months back and the sausage made his recent list of Favorite Texas Barbecue Bites of 2024. Just based on the brisket taco, I know I'll be back.
  19. Saw Billy Gibbons, Chris Layton, Mike Flanigin, and Jimmie Vaughan at Antone's on Friday. Arrived early enough to grab one of the stools along the wall. Gibbons started by saying that he wasn't feeling great, but the show must go on. Played several ZZ Top songs and Gibbons voice sounded terrible - painful to listen to because you could tell that it hurt him to sing. It seemed that they improvised some and probably had Flanigan and Vaughan sing a few more. I would have been fine with just hearing the guitars without singing. I thought they would cancel last night's show and the Ft. Worth show tonight based upon how bad Gibbons sounded and felt, but they played last night.
