  1. Reddit sounds worse than CR.
  2. First barbecue joint that I can remember was Kreuz in the old location in 1981 or 1982. First road trip specifically for barbecue was in 1991 from San Marcos to Lockhart for Kreuz. On the later trip we ordered one of the smoked pork chops - still one of my favorite meals.
  3. Good thing I caught a show before they stopped. Circa 1986.
  4. That'll really surprise your doctor during your prostate exam.
  5. Game of Thrones. First run in with White Walkers, Daenerys gets married of to Khal Drogo and gets dragon eggs, Ned chops off the head of the guy that saw the White Walkers, Stark kids get direwolf pups, Jamie fucks his sister, and the defenestration of a 10 year old boy. Breaking Bad and Lost get honorable mention.
  6. FFS - Just finish the damn game.
  7. I know you said you can't take her aside, but you should take her aside when you first show up. Remind her that your committed to not drinking and would be appreciative if she wouldn't offer you a drink in front of others. If she does, then that's on her.
  8. Young Tully making Daemon eat shit was the best part of the episode for me.* *It would have been Alicent skinny dipping, but she kept her damn clothes on.
  9. Off of Manor Road in Austin, east of Mueller.
  10. Another reason not to like this show. They made her look like this:
  11. Stopped by KG BBQ for lunch today. Much longer like than the first time I went prior to hitting the Texas Monthly list and Kareem competing on the Netflix show. Half pound of moist brisket, pound of pork ribs, Mediterranean sausage, lamb and beef kofta, Egyptian mac and cheese, Mediterranean rice, and Om Ali (Egyptian bread pudding) for dessert. What a high quality and well rounded menu. Brisket was cooked well and nicely seasoned, although one of the slices was a little too thick. Pork ribs continue to be my favorite - layers of flavor and good bite. Next time I'll ask for theee or four large ribs as opposed to just ordering a pound - too many little ribs. Sausages and sides are so unique to Texas barbecue and really good. I didn't get any lamb chops because I've had them several times. If you go for the first time, a lamb chop is a must.
  12. I distinctly remember at telling my self at mile 22 of the Marine Corp Marathon - I'm never doing this shit again. That was 2001 and my only marathon.
  13. Those were all the things Tex Long was thinking, not actually saying.
  14. That's good. I had a different surgery back in 2001 that had the same effect. Still get an EGD every three years and Barrett's hasn't progressed in the last 23 years.
  15. You should get an upper GI too if you haven't. I have Barrett's esophagus from 15 years of reflux. My father died of esophageal cancer from ignoring the same.
  16. Since these episodes are coming on when you're sleeping, reflux is a likely cause. Take a look at the foods and drinks (alcohol and caffeine) that relax the lower esophageal sphincter. Try to avoid those as much as possible before going to bed. Pepcid AC or one of the PPIs should provide some relief. You should probably get an upper GI to make sure you don't have any damage from reflux, stomach ulcers, or anything else. I know way too much about this stuff.
  17. I'm not sure how they were able to do any of the large proteins in the amount of time allocated. No way there was time for a proper rest within the time slot. Some of the cooks looked like the meat was pulled just before plating - might have been the editing, though. Regardless, it was fun to watch Kareem and Sloan (who I'd never heard of) compete.
  18. They're also less flame retardant.
  19. I think they were looking a people with a much smaller percentage of Targ in their blood - the guy that got burnt up was Targ somewhere on his great-grandmother's side or something. Bastards and half-siblings will be riding the dragons I suspect. Milli Vanilli is apparently a half Velaryon bastard. Half-brother at the bar will probably end up on a dragon as well as some point. These are my guesses, I didn't read any of the books.
  20. damn. That's one of my favorite barbecue places in the state, thus the world.
  21. Beautiful truck. 1971.
