  1. Idiot shoulda taken it. Now he’s just a poor old man in a stupid beret.
  2. And I mean…not even close. The lege could present an amendment to require every Texan to eat an actual shit sandwich, and it would win 60-40 with our electorate.
  3. We’re approaching the spot in the timeline where the “unhinged people with TDS on the ledge” are dead center. It was always headed here. We’ve told yall for 10 years. We also lamented that it seemed that the only way the masses were going to understand would be when it got unbearably painful, and when it was too late to reverse things. And here we are.
  4. WTF? At the end of the 2 hours of maintenance, did the “check to make sure you reattached the engine” box not get checked?
  5. I predict that I will not lose my race. I accomplished this by not ENTERING any race, but I'll take my wins where I can get them these days.
  6. Reading posts on Surly for that purpose also gets you self-study continuing education credits from the State Psychiatry Board. Their official stance on using Surly posts for that purpose is "approved, but not recommended."
  7. Yeah, that was a "this plane is fucked up beyond all help" problem, not an ATC problem. WTF causes that, and it had to have been bad and fast for it not to have been able to get airborne.
  8. This. We have a big house right now - we raised kids in it, and we actually do entertain a good bit. And the kids do still come home for extended visits. So, great for now - more than we need, but it's fine for now. But long-term? Exactly what you said. We'll likely end up where one of our kids lives anyway come retirement time (which almost certainly will not be Texas). So....a nice, modest place to land, where we get to get out and about and do shit (being active helps keep you going and alive), AND it's not as much work or cost to maintain? Yes please. If we end up in Scotland or Germany or the NE US with a modest house/flat, we build some community, we get to see our grandkids, tell me how that isn't a win? Texas and giant-ass houses on golf courses lifestyle is not great.
  9. Yeah...that's f'n awful. And here's hoping there weren't (many) casualties on the ground.
  10. The boy just shared his latest effort. Which is especially masterful being that he lives across the ocean. That said, he found THE mexican grocery in Glasgow (yeah, they know him there), where he can obtain the ingredients he needs. Braised the beef all day, tacos dorados on the griddle, with homemeade salsa. And a jarritos de pina, of course.
  11. It's not hostile at all. That would be the Republic acting in self-defense. Frankly, it should be illegal NOT to launch into the sun such poisonous, anti-American assholes who proudly ass-rape the Constitution.
  12. Counterpoint....even Dick fucking Cheney knew this regime is an existential threat to the Republic and humanity. When even Dick Cheney thinks you're a piece of chit.....goddamn.
  13. Wait until you decide to fap to her.
  14. Probably something truly awful, like he lost a football game or something like that.
  15. Yeah, worst drive I ever made included the stretch of I-10 through the Florida panhandle at night. Pine trees right up to the road, like you're driving through a tunnel the whole way. Nothing to see, nothing to break things up. Even the roadside stuff is back in the trees, so you can't even see an occasional yellow glow of a Waffle House sign. Give me the wide open spaces and desert sky all day long. And 9 hours of classic country on my playlist, taking me through moods ranging from wanting to get drunk and fight, to tear-filled eyes thinking about my parents, to high-energy Texas swing. That's the good shit.
  16. I got that. But see, here's the thing: I'm a Texan, not a pussy. It was a 14 hour drive to my grandfather's ranch. 9 hours is a pleasant day's journey. Esp. when it's a straight-shot, most of it with the cruise control pegged at 85+.
  17. You know, if all of these people would just be white and wear MAGA hats, it would save them a lotta trouble.
  18. Yeah....so.....grew up with a family ranch in the Chihuahuan desert (mexican side). I find that country really pretty, and incredibly zen. My wife is more of a green forest in the mountains girl. I can walk the desert with a rifle in my hands, just scanning and watching where I step, and I'm at peace. So, I kinda dig that drive. It's also conducive to some great playlists, with few hazards to interrupt your reverie. But yeah, when I gotta go to EP for work, I fly.
  19. Marty Robbins woulda taken the bus to El Paso. Wasn't till later on that he took a plane and wrote El Paso City. What the FUCK do you have against Marty Robbins, motherfuckers?
  20. I like both styles, but I confess to being raised on my mother's cooking. And she grew up fucking poor, so masa-thickened chili was very much a thing. And I kinda dig it. But I also like it thickened with a great puree. There's room for all of it. As for me, most of the time, I make it with powders, and maybe spice it up with some puree (adds some richness and depth). But it's chili, it's not a fancy rich-man's food. You don't have to overwork it.
  21. "are entering dangerous territory" Fucking hell, WSJ.
  22. As with most things this era, to understand this move, just ask and answer the question "who in the regime/closely aligned with the regime will benefit and profit from this, and how?" Once you answer that, you'll understand exactly why this is happening. You don't have to bother wondering whether "this is good policy," or "is it good for the people?" Those are not in play in any way. Just find who benefits, and it will be clear.
  23. Actually.....not a coffee shop, but a couple of years ago, I ordered Whataburger breakfast curbside (I still dig the jalapeno cheddar biscuit). I park, employee brings out my order, gets to my window to hand it to me. It's clearly either a transgender (m to f) or transvestite person. In any case, had perfect makeup, earrings, etc. - really put some effort into her look for the day. It actually spontaneously make me smile, and I said "your look is on-point today" - she lit up with a great smile. That's it, that was our total interaction. Why in the fucking FUCK would you choose to not like that person, or even insult or hurt them, when you could just pay a compliment and be rewarded by a smile, and knowing you made another human being happy for a moment? Seriously, what the hell is wrong with us?
  24. Man. She bugs me SO much. Because on the screen, she is 199% in my wheelhouse. Nice looking curvy middle-aged brunette. But then, she's fucking demonically evil and crazy and not in any good way. It's like someone made the perfect smoked brisket, the best bark and smoke ring you've ever seen, and then injected it with runny diarrhea. I'm simultaneously tempted and repulsed, and that pisses me off.
  25. Dude....you've flown further than that to get a handy.
