  1. Never been all that much into pinball, but thought these two were interesting when i went to the local pinball bar near where I live now in Portland. First one probably would have drawn protesters in Amarillo, and I thought the second was interesting trying to capitalize on Apollo-Soyuz
  2. Grew up in Southeast Amarillo (not the swanky southwest side). There was a Toot n Totum (local convenience store chain) about a mile from our house we'd ride our bikes to, taking shortcuts down alleys and vacant lots, dodging crazy dogs, and angry old people who didn't like us riding across the lot next to their house. At the Toot n Totum, or as we referred to it, Fart and Fetchum, they had a little room with a couple arcade games that would rotate. I remember playing Spy Hunter, Tiger Heli, 1942. When we ran out of quarters, we'd shoplift a few pieces of super bubble (allegedly),then ride out into that hot, dry, dusty wind like the badasses we were, now headed for the lot that had the sweet jumps.
  3. Is there a country that produces no women that are irresistable?
  4. It's not that impressive, I used to bullseye womprats in my T-16 back home
  5. So I'm definitely no expert on any of this, but I'm assuming at some point the Stealth Bombers actually become "Stealthy" to the point jackasses on Surly or anyone else for that matter can't track them or no?
  6. Man, imagine what you would get if you locked 55 Surly posters in a hot room all summer long.
  7. Also, the idea that the "Framers", which I guess means the 55 delegates to the constitutional convention who were in a little bit of a hurry to get this shit over with and get out of the hot Philadelphia summer being cooped up in Independence Hall with the windows closed to keep the debates from getting out, not to mention the other influential people that were not there such as Thomas Jefferson, all had one monolithic viewpoint that happens to fit what you want to say has always seemed to me to be a little bit of a stretch
  8. Yeah, my daughter is going to Oregon State next year (we live in the Portland Metro)- Corvallis is way cooler as a town to me than Eugene- but obviously the experience at Autzen is going to far surpass Reser, especially these days. Autzen is small, but gets fuckin loud. The whole stadium going nuts during "Shout" is cool and feels more authentic than some mass sing alongs since they've been doing it for a while since they filmed Animal House there. Duck riding out on his motorcycle, etc... They developed a unique shtick
  9. Awesome! Can they replace aggy? Never mind, that's what I get for getting all excited and posting my lame joke before I see if everyone else has said the same thing.
  10. https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/196389/soviet-pilots-over-mig-alley/ Not Russian markings I guess
  11. Even Moses got excited when he saw the promised land
  12. Yep, and Lincoln had to run for president in the middle of the fucking Civil War, wars don't get to stop elections in the U.S.
  13. Yeah I remember when we finally beat ou back then This offense is giving me PTSD
  14. Tennesee plays some ugly basketball
  15. "I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness." --Carl Sagan
  16. People who rent pigs
  17. I try to blow them into the windows of passing cars on the street
  18. Man, this video makes me miss living in Austin. Looks like an awesome atmosphere for that game last night!

  20. Hey, at least they don't have a National Championship plaque with a date to be filled in later. But nobody would be that pathetic, right?
  21. ball don't lie on those missed free throws
  22. She was so refreshing after the village idoit
