  1. I agree with whoever mentioned the closing of the xxx movie theater on South Congress around ‘96. The COA shut it down and opened a “community center “ complete with folding chairs and a ping pong table. A few months later the building was leased to a tech start-up. This was around the same time the COA paid off the LasManidos ladies $300k to go silent into the night.
  2. I think old Austin is still alive and kicking but if your not 18 to 25 years old and nearly broke you’re no longer able to see it.
  3. My Great Grandfather was a doctor in Kenedy, TX. He kept a record of births that he performed from 1881 to the mid 1930’s. My mom tells stories of riding with him around the county in his horse and buggy. If you have a relative born in or around Kenedy during this time frame, there is a good chance that their name is in this book.
  4. It’s called a drilled pier. As in it a piers to be a giant dildo for drilling South Austin’s mom.
  5. There is at BSL4 at UTMB that works on Ebola. I always thought that was a weird place to put a BSL4 with hurricanes and such. But then I realized that because it’s an island it would be pretty easy to contain by shutting down the bridges. Bottom line is you BOI you might DOI.
  6. This is how I remember my four summers working in the ranch department at Philmont.
  7. What would be cool is if they would link the “Texas Unclaimed Property” database with the DNA databases and boom there it is.
  8. It’s as if you posted on Shaggy from the future.
  9. I worked at Philmont as a cavalcade wrangler for four years in the ‘80’s and don’t recognize half of those camps. Things have changed a lot since them. I read recently that BSA just put it up as collateral or something.
  10. I told my wife this morning that this sounds like a Raising Arizona type situation only chock full off assholes and not funny. Ha ha funny. I even told her “H. I. You go in there and get me a toddler!”
  11. I’ve had a couple of interactions with the Banditos and they were pleasant. I guess this is what happens when you shoot them instead of just shooting the shit with them.
  12. A shotgun is always a safe gift.
  13. Ground she's movin' under me Tidal waves out on the sea Sulfur smoke up in the sky Pretty soon we learn to fly Let me hear ya now I don't know I don't know I don't know where I'm a gonna go When the volcano blow
  14. Naval Air Station in Pensacola !# Eglin AFB in Ft. Walton Beach. Did I use the != correctly?
  15. I posted this one in another thread. Found it tucked behind an old picture frame that I salvaged from a box being thrown out after my Grandfather’s death. It’s in pretty bad shape but cool to have.
  16. The secret is that they marinate it in dolphin piss which, you know, is basically just plain ‘ol ocean water but the tourists don’t know that and pay extra for it. Dumbasses.
  17. I cleaned my pool today and just finished grilling a couple of steaks on the patio.
  18. I can’t help regarding a minister but he should hire this DJ. Or Crayon’s band.
  19. Well... thanks to this thread I’m buying back a fond memory...
