Austin FC
Owen juked that defender on the corner kick which led to the Buka goal. Then Owen tries to give it back in the waning seconds by turning around and kicking over our end line.

22% of men (incl. Kevin) don't realize that a chimp would fucking wreck them
Seems like it comes up enough and there are enough people interested, that the cage match could be arranged. Worldwide PPV would make a mint. PETA might feign outrage, but they would raise a shit ton of money as well.

Galveston will be flat, but there is a good chance that half of the race will be into the wind. I find wind can be more demoralizing than hills.

This. 45% of US imports are of intermediate goods.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Entire families going to HEB together makes me surly. Leaders in the clubhouse: mom, dad, two kids, and grandparents walking together though the store - every fucking aisle. I see them walking back to their car with two sacks of groceries. Make a list, pick a shopper, everyone else stay home and clean the damn house.

Texas BBQ
Nice thing about showing up to Mum at 11:00-12:00 on the weekend, even with cars in the parking lot, there's a long line of hipsters getting coffee and the food line is short.

Texas BBQ
Stopped at Kolacny's Bar-B-Q House in Halletville yesterday on the way to El Campo. This is a place listed in the 2021 TM BBQ Honorable mention and receives good reviews throughout those who like obscure, old-school barbecue - like the podcasters on Tales From the Pits. We got there around 1:00 following quite a rush. The original owners, Ervin and Carolyn, were manning the shop because the son and daughter-in-law, who now run the joint, were catering for a funeral. I really wanted to try the pork steak, but unfortunately Ervin said that the only thing they had left was two rings of sausage. Of course I got those two sausage rings and they were great. Course ground with a perfect snap. I'm looking forward to finishing the sausage this afternoon with a stack of saltines. Although its out of the way for almost anyone, I will go back (probably paired with a trip to Shiner). If Halletsville is on your way somewhere, its worth the stop. Even if all meats were available, I probably would have only bought pork steak, sausage, and a half chicken. I don't go to places like this for brisket, which many places have perfected. I go for the simple food cooked in a manner that it has been cooked since the 1800s. The same reason I grab a sausage ring from Smitty's when I'm in Lockhart.

Mudbugs 2025
I don't call them mudbugs, but I understand it's pretty common in Louisiana. In different places I've lived they are called crayfish, crawdads, and crawfish. Just don't over cook them and you can call them whatever you want.

Dark Winds AMC
I like the show, even though it is pretty cheesy. I watch it as much for the old Chevy & GMC trucks and Suburbans as anything else.

I like the video of the R&R HOF artists, but I wish is had the date of the SNL performance listed as opposed to the year they were inducted into the HOF.

Non-political tariffs thread
Somewhere around 45% of US imports are of intermediate goods - components that go into end goods produced by US companies. Out of the top countries from which the US imports intermediate goods, Canada is No. 1 and Mexico is No. 2. While Mexican and Canadian companies might absorb some of the costs increases of the tariffs, much of the cost will be fronted, directly or indirectly, by US companies and their end users.

I remember so little about season one other than I enjoyed it. I'll probably rewatch the final episode just to get my bearings.

I'm An Alcoholic
Tempted to go see him at the Austin Rodeo in March. I saw him twice in 2022 when he was on his final tour - glad to see he's not done and more happy to see that he's embraced sobriety.

New Orleans recommendations (one night)
I think you will probably live. I don't think I would stay that close to the freeway due to the noise. If you are driving, I hope it has off-street parking.
