  1. You could have gone with: It's not my fault officer, I was drunk! And it's Jerry Jones. Chances are, the investigating officer is a Cowboys fan. Okay, son. I'm letting you off with a warning this time.
  2. Actually, daylight tour which was pronounced daylaught tower back in the day. Got me into primo shape. I earned maybe my favorite job title ever: iron-rattlin' motherfucker. Worked out of Odessa on a rig near Sterling City. I know you're referring to a song or something, but it triggered pleasant memory.
  3. As I alluded to with astonishing wit and a reference to MAD magazine in post #30845 on the previous page! Bloodsuckers! All of you!
  4. I worked the rigs for a while and never heard it any differently than you did.
  5. There was a hill fort in the wilderness. There a man stood ready to die defending it. Twas misty and hard to tell, but is that man RomaVicta or Sawbonz? Twas long ago. Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains.
  6. We don't just want, we desperately want! Toxic Texas is desperate! t.u. was first in NIL! Aggies were first in NIL!
  7. Think how easily that could have been overcome by just the right messaging from Dems about actual policies. It's not the electorate that's the problem; it's the Dem's messaging.
  8. Yea, is 'modern "journalism"' their new nickname for Texas A&M?
  9. He was only going to get rid of the bad Mexicans/Palestinians/government workers/inspectors general/regulations/former administration holdovers/judges/prosecutors.
  10. I like these guys. They sound sort of like we do. Here's a common Aggie characterization: They say this a great deal. Anybody paying more than the Aggies is obviously overpaying. It's not the market that sets the price; it's the Texas A&M Fightin' Texas Aggies from Texas (Howdy!) that do. They've also found a new expression of how stars don't matter: Getting the #1 class is now a proven bad thing. *generations Oft repeated Aggie logic. To them this proves Hero isn't good. To the mildly logical, it proves only that he's not valuable enough to the number one team in the nation that has a surplus of talent. News: tOSU has more good DTs than Texas. Dumbasses. Is this a fact or an Aggie fact? Serious question:
  11. First they came for....well, fuck me, they came for your wife, first. How terrible...oh wait, I've been taught to taunt rather empathize by the majority of the American electorate. Sooooo, fuck you and your feelings, Mr. South Florida man.
  12. He doesn't want to have to live up to the standards of the legendary 2022 class. Wrecking. Crew.
  13. Thank goodness the GOPs are here to champion women's rights!
  14. I'm sure the Aggies endear themselves to broadcast professionals by claiming they're all owned by Toxic Texas. And they're sure everyone agrees with them and sees the world the same way.
  15. The Aggies are just too nice and upright to be treated this way. I mean: Class all the way! Again, irony deafness. Indeed, it is. More Aggie facts born of Aggie delusions and repetition: Aggies attack Rice band video: https://youtu.be/iaJjw7Y2eLY Their love is kinda creepy.
  16. On immigration: True. You point to exploitation of immigrants to keep prices down, but many immigrants make minimum wage jobs. No matter, you touch on the main point, IMHO. In the hubub about messaging and policies to save us from the stream of immigrants, who honestly states what the problem is with it. I mostly see benefits. I only see lies about criminals in lieu of actual arguments about how these people coming to the US is harming the US. Why is that? See my bloviations above about analysis and apply it to how this elephant is ignored. I believe it's been established here a number of times over the years that they are not an actual drain on US resources as so many work and contribute through taxes and SS payments. What's the problem? White people don't want to be outnumbered, is obvious, but nobody says that out loud. And white people benefit from the presence of the immigrants as much or more than everybody else.
  17. "Most post mortems" that I've heard do not mention Christian Nationalism or Project 2025 at all. That's likely because the people doing post mortems didn't like talking about the former and used the latter as shorthand as though everybody knew exactly what it was in their analyses leading up to the election. They narrow-mindedly focus on things that are easy and habitual. The best example of this is the way they focus on the tiny percentage of the vote that they claim determines outcome. They're obsessed with the horserace aspect of coverage. If only the Dem horse had a bigger nose. Look at the horses in toto. Among the elephants (mixed metaphors, anyone?) which they ignore in what must be a gigantic room, is what the majority as a whole voted for. A totally amoral man has been elected president. The voters know this because they regularly rationalize away his vile and wicked deeds or embrace them. Those who didn't vote gave silent approval. I can say this because every aspect of Trump's character is public. Even so, analysts shy from talk of morality because it's subjective. They shy from talking about religion because it's just not done. I've seen nothing about those aspects of the election in the analyses I've heard on the radio, seen linked from here, or viewed on TV news. I make myself tiresome by repeating this; they don't grasp the new paradigm. I don't know whether that's laziness or timidity. We're not talking about stupid people, so it's not ignorance. Dem messaging is exceptionally low in the list of considerations about what just happened in November. They've tried lots of stuff that doesn't work because they still operate like a political party pressing a policy agenda. That's what they are. The war being waged by the GOPs has succeeded in marginalizing Dems as socialist enemies of democracy. All of this while Donald Trump is gutting government to build a fief. Long post. Sorry about that.
  18. Did much come of their big junior day? There was great pride of their guest list. Any news of recruits being swayed their way? Is Pool Party still a thing? Thanks to the cognizenti.
  19. Keep working on it, because it's a fascinating study.
  20. I didn't watch the game, but I assume Hart's point was about success through persistence. That's not a bad thing. I'm further guessing that the Aggies are all riled because they weren't described as the handsome QB for whom things come easy. Literalist idiots to the core...and corps for that matter.
  21. Hart's career and brand are definitely in jeopardy. I mean, who is he without appearing on TexAgs Live? Even the show is in danger: Not surprising that Hart tries to sweet talk his way back in: Liucci won't take this lying down: You, me, parking lot. Right now! William's purity is being questioned.
  22. Brief check-in with the poet laureate of TexAgs. Sorry, Olin, about Texas doing the improbable and stealing a win from the Fightin' Texas (A&M) Aggies. Have we ever beaten you guys at anything? Looks like you may be taking that War Hymn thing too seriously: Kind of you to remind your readers of the win three weeks ago. Kissing the boo-boo, so to speak. Credible job on the rest of the write-up, Olin. Thanks, man. You bet. Still, you just can't stop yourself from blowing an Aggie booger in the punchbowl. Calling it like I see it. Therein lies the problem.
  23. The nose gun is genius.
