    This movie is free on YouTube right now

    Tickets for tonight's game (decent upper deck infield) are less than $200 from a few vendors, with fees averaging around $70 per ticket. I'm sorely tempted to head downtown tonight and see a World Series game in person for the first time in my life. The fact that it could also be a World Series clenching game for the Rangers is pretty sweet, as well. Dad took me to a Rangers game in their inaugural season in Arlington when I was 5 years old--I want to say it was against the Red Sox, but all I remember for sure is it was within the first few weeks of the season--and I've been a long-suffering fan ever since. The way the 2011 Series got away from us took years off my life, I'm sure. Completely off topic, I wish we'd have stuck with the uniform change we made when we moved from Arlington Stadium to the Ballpark in Arlington. I thought I'd hate the red caps but I immediately loved the switch.

    So we're doing this here instead of the World Series thread?

    Still pissed at Semien for that pathetic at-bat. Let's do some damage here

    Um... might want to do a little research on hook 'em, friend.

    Frasier

    Augustus replied to Vic Mackey's topic in Movies and TV

    True, but those sets looked like they belonged on a Hollywood sound stage, not a high school one act play.

    I went back to spoiler that, just in case, but the edit window is so damn short. Ah well, it was from 2 years ago, but I hope I didn't spoil it for anyone.

    Yeah that's what I was talking about. A new way to destroy a vampire. No fire, no beheading, no stake through the heart, just slice up his leathery wings while he feeds on you, so he can't outrun the rising sun.

    Yeah, at first it seemed that resurrected mom would be the featured supernatural force, but then Gugino shows up and some kind of Faustian bargain was my first thought, but since then I'm leaning toward she's just there as judgment upon the Usher siblings. Not sure about anything, though.

    I want to like this, but it's boring me. Right away you realize we're gonna have to slog through killing off all the kids per episode, with no real clue to why this is happening. I've finished 5 of them and I'm just bored.

    I hadn't heard this. Goddammit.

    Frasier

    Augustus replied to Vic Mackey's topic in Movies and TV

    I got through most of the first episode before work interrupted me. I stopped right when we learn Frederick is gay, and that Frasier always smells really good. I didn't chuckle or even smile so far, so I'm hoping it gets better. Frasier was one of the best sitcoms ever made.

    One of the most exciting nights of my childhood was going to the Sportatorium with a schoolfriend and his dad. No Von Erich's that night, but I got to see one of my favorite things in wrestling back then, Ox Baker giving his opponent the "heart punch" which resulted in the guy flopping/convulsing on the canvas like a fish out of water. I was terrified of Baker and that punch, which made it beyond thrilling. But most of all, it was just incredible to be in the crowd that I'd seen on TV every Saturday night for years.

    I enjoyed the first episode but there were times when it seemed like it was dragging on versus getting the actual story started. Great atmosphere, and I enjoy Bruce Greenwood in everything he does. I hope they keep it interesting. What was last year's? The preacher who brought home a vampire?

    Those were Big 12 Refs you goob

    It's been a while since I followed recruiting closely, mainly because I'm just a few years short of 60 and there comes a time when you understand there are things you can't control, and high school recruit drama is one of them. But supposedly we have a ton of big recruits on hand for this one. I guess we'll see if it matters or not.

    Laughing my fucking ass off. If you're expecting better officiating in the SEC then you're gonna be sorely disappointed.

    How many holding calls did Texas have?

    Hey, there's a wide open receiver. Here's a pass fired from a Saturn 5 rocket

    Never hit a receiver right in the hands.

    My gf is from India. When she moved to Texas, I introduced her and her sister to: Chicken Fried Steak, beef fajitas, and then more seriously, brisket at Black's in Lockhart, and prime Rib Eye steaks at the Wooden Nickel in Crested Butte. They lost their minds. And I had fun playing the serpent in the Garden.
  22. Augustus
    How'd they enjoy the steaks?

    Spinning the ball? Are you kidding me?

    They are terrible. You should destroy them.

    I just texted my buddy, "Bill Snyder isn't just turning over in his grave, he's coming right out of it." Soon after I learned that Bill Snyder isn't dead.
