  1. A quick perusal of the recent reviews in Google Maps shoes that the main pyramids are still closed for climbing. I don’t see the ban ever changing. A thousand people going up a pyramid every day can’t be good for it.
  2. I meant Brits, sorry
  3. I’ll second the recommendation of Scholz Garten. It’s always mispronounced as “Schlotz’s”. Known as the oldest bar in Texas, it’s been a game day tradition for ages. The food options are heavily German, but the establishment was founded by German immigrants. Germany produced the 3rd highest immigrant group in Texas behind Anglos and Mexicans.
  4. @Hollywood if you’re going to the pyramids, there are a couple of cool restaurants in the caves that would be entertaining for the family. Quite busy on Sundays. But it’s a haul from where you are staying.
  5. “What time is it?” ”4:20”
  6. Finding a landing spot in the media to trigger the buyout might be a bit of a problem for Bill. I don’t see a network that broadcasts college games hiring a guy who made his reputation in the NFL and had only one (or less) season at the NCAA level. And that one season was a disaster. Finding work at a network broadcasting NFL games might be problematic as well. He has publicly declared war on the Patriots and had probably pissed off others in the NFL world. Top it off with a thin-skinned, laconic personality; I wouldn’t think he’d be highly sought after for a gig.
  7. Curious George knew she was queen of the jungle in her younger days
  8. Alabama ain’t gonna elect a Jewish candidate for statewide office.
  9. I don’t know whether to be enraged or intrigued
  10. UNCOVER!!
  11. A&M being sneaky and secretive to leave the Big 12? Smart, shrewd power play! Texas and SEC officials leaving A&M out of the loop for Texas to join the SEC? Why those sneaky, low life sonsabitches, destroying the Big 12 and everything wrong with college football!
  12. Georgia fans starting to reach aggy levels of conspiracy theories.
  13. The goal of an American breakfast is to eat it while hot. You can tell the scrambled eggs were cold and butter didn't melt on the pancakes.
  14. Never had it but a couple of reviews weren’t kind
  15. Travis - home of Once Was!
  16. Gotta have Huda when you are in central Vietnam. Good stuff.
  17. Vietnam has a pretty vibrant craft beer scene. After a few days of drinking their mainstream beers, which are pretty light, you might have a hankering for an IPA of fuller bodied beer. They seemed to run by Americans or Aussies. Craft beer places I went to: Hanoi: Pasteur St. - Old Quarter Hue: Imperial Craft Bia Saigon: Heart of Darkness, 7 Bridges, Winking Seal All were good. You will pay more than 50 cents, however.
  18. Article from the BBC. Has a video showing wife of Oceangate’s CEO and captain monitoring audio and text communication from the sub. You can hear audio of the implosion which sounds like a “door slam”. There was text that was received after the implosion which gave the wife a false sense that everything was ok. Problem was that the sound of the audio traveled faster than the text message. Also USCG investigation concluded that carbon fiber hull started deteriorating a year before on a previous trip. https://bbc.com/news/articles/c5yg5qggvwjo “The footage was recently obtained by the USCG and shows Wendy Rush, the wife of Mr Rush, hearing the sound of the implosion while watching on from the sub's support ship and asking: "What was that bang?"”
  19. The 12 hours per semester at aggy were correspondence.
