    Why is Waffle House named for the worst thing on their menu? Their hash browns are legit, but thin waffles are baby food.

    The Regulators' War fascinates me because the sides were exactly the opposite of what you would have expected in the Revolution that came just six years later -- most of the Regulators were Tories, and a large percentage of the Carolina militia who put down the uprising went on to either join the Continentals or, at the very least, joined up with the various guerrilla gangs in the Carolinas. Weird place. I think about that every time I hear my neighbors going at their target practice.

    whynotboth.gif He is unquestionably the most horrific human being with whom most of us will ever cohabit this Earth. However, he is also a dumbass of epic proportions. The two things are not mutually exclusive.

    So, Casey Thompson. These ain't your daddy's Sooners. They do still suck, though.

    I don't believe it.

    I got a really bad case of poison ivy this week, bad enough that I need steroids for the swelling. I hesitated before going to the doctor, though, based on their overload due to COVID. Long story short, everyone else who needs healthcare would be better off if these antivax nutjobs would just politely die on their own sofas without bothering the medical professionals whose advice they are ignoring.

    The world would be a better place if BK slipped on a bar of soap, broke his neck, and assumed room temperature. Recognizing this does not degrade one's moral standing.

    Spoken like the patron saint of shuttered factories and discount salvage yards.

    We're across the street from 100 acre hippie-dippie farm who are more than adequate deterrents, I think, between their family of wolfhounds and their skeet range. Never seen so many heavily armed Liberals in my life. Makes me worry less about living right on the border of Liberal and Trump Nutz.

    I'm in a pleasant rural triangle in NC where there's plenty of water, and a ten degree jump in temp won't mean jack to a Texas expat.

    Israel and the US, if the military industrial complex is to be believed.

    Only when the collective is rational. I would argue that a large swath of the unvaxxed knuckleheads are not really individualistic at all; they are merely parroting the numbskull collective to which they belong.

    This page brings home a sad fact of modern Christian life. My wife was raised in Abilene in the Church of Christ, and until I made a reference to the red letter Bible, she had never heard of it, nor had she heard the term "red letter Christian". They hardly ever quote the man whom their religion is supposed to be based on. They ought to be called "Paulites" not "Christians".

    Not much "now" about it. They've been this way ever since Jefferson Davis was named their first school President.

    I'm intrigued by this Anonymous group, and wish to subscribe to their newsletter.

    But what if you're arguing with a gullible halfwit?

    The only other person in the conversation for "worst enemy America ever had" is Rush Limbaugh, who is, fortunately, still dead.

    It's remarkable to me that as old and stale as Anastasis's schtick is, so many of y'all still respond to it.

    Sovereign immunity would only apply to payment of damages; the GOR is about getting paid, so without playing nice, Texas theoretically could end up not receiving Tier 1 money. Of course, no one knows how enforcement of the GOR would work if Texas' media appearances were simply in a different conference's bucket. That's the mildly interesting diversion to the story. I expect it will be made irrelevant. Texas will pay something, and the issue will go away.

    I'm still chuckling over the aggy who admitted he married a hoary woman. That's an adjective usually reserved for boar hogs and bristle brushes, but I have no doubt it accurately described his ex wife.

    Yep. Pissed me off royally the first time. I know now to ask 'em to hold the slaw. It's not even good slaw, at that. It's all vinegary and bland. Weirdest damned thing.

    There is a statistically significant subset who disagree. Now, to be a biblically literalist Christian, yes, you would have to buy that hokum, but if you believe more logically that the New Testament was slapped together several decades after Jesus's death, you have a considerable amount of greater dogmatic flexibility.

    Friend who still lives in College Station tells me last week (before yell practice and a football game) TAMU had 1,000+ cases of COVID. I feel no overwhelming desire to fact check, but I must say, if true, I am not surprised.
