  1. Sad that I wasn't paying much attention to Texas football during that time. Would have liked to see more of Sam in action. The greatest hits on YouTube are pretty fantastic of him as a player and Longhorn. How did he drop to the 6th round in the draft?
  2. Too bad Hans Gruber died before he could tell us how to earn 20% while sitting on a beach.
  3. I think I saw that in a Gundam movie. Except it was laser canons. Pew pew.
  4. 2 of my coworkers (brothers) grew up in Pacific Palisades. Their childhood home burned down along all of their neighbors' homes. They shot a video as they rode their bikes through their old neighborhood (cars are banned), and just blocks and blocks and blocks of burned down homes. No emotion in their voices as they narrated what they saw. Truly devastating to see stuff like this happen to people you know.
  5. This is the BEFORE right? Right?
  6. What was she yelling at the end? It sounded like "My TITS!"
  7. Got anything that starts with letters E, F or V?
  8. The wife and daughter weren't in the neighborhood at the time, and wasn't allowed back in. I had my boy with me at the time. The fire was still ~1/2 to 1 mile away so it wasn't THAT urgent. He waited for me in the car while I packed up the stuff, a change of underwear, and left. And yes, it's a cool Telecaster.
  9. Before and after photos. Holy shit. This is much worse than I thought. https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/10/weather/before-after-images-los-angeles-fires/index.html
  10. I must have posted a picture somewhere in this thread, but my Telecaster turns 40 YO this year. Its serial number starts with E3, but neck says 1985.
  11. Nothing makes you understand life's priorities more than having to decide what to bring with you when you evacuate. We were in an evacuation zone 5-6 years ago. I grabbed photos, important documents, jewelry, and my Telecaster.
  12. People who don't know when to use an apostrophe. This has been make me REALLY surly lately. It's not the 1990's. Not RFI's. Not RFP's. Not Zen's (from the Post a pic/gif/tweet that makes you say "very cool" thread)
  13. Zen's what? Zen's bubble? What belongs to Zen? Inquiring minds want to know.
  14. Apparently California is especially hard hit by the avian flu. 20 million chickens were culled. Not sure how many of those are egg laying hens. I didn't actually buy the $20 eggs. They also had 12-packs of organic eggs for $7, which is weird. At least this particular grocery store had eggs. My regular grocery store (Sprouts) hasn't had eggs in 2 weeks.
  15. They don’t have the beacon anymore, so I guess you’ll have to get one of those stupid cupcake looking extenders.
  16. Went to the grocery store last night. $20 for an 18-pack of eggs. Fuck this avian flu.
  17. No you don’t. We will be mudholed.
  18. I had to zoom in, but initially thought they looked like little cups (of koolaid).
  19. The old Volvos were built like tanks. My friend's family was moving back from Europe. At the port of Houston, they knocked a shipping container upside down. Inside the container was my friend's mom's Volvo station wagon. The car landed on it's roof, but there was no structural damaged. They fixed the sheet metal, and she drove it for another few years before passing it on to my friend's brother.
  20. I’ve been watching games on YouTube, but the mouse came down hard on the Texas ASU game and all the streams were cut off.
