  1. McCarthy must have forgotten, or not yet seen, the approved talking points
  2. You are one confident mofo to take a cruise while under your type of journey. After this, won’t be no mountain high enough.
  3. Well, my first guitar fell flat on the floor while I was likely a bit inebriated, and broke at the neck like that, a couple inches further south. . A Bakersfield guy glued it back together, and it worked fine, to me. Subsequently got lost by an airline, so, that one was doomed from the start.
  4. Well, I have that in my right hand, and both feet. It’s the left hand arthritis that conditions my cursing.
  5. Awful quiet in here. Well, managing deciphering and playing that Italian piece worked so well that he handed me Bouree, that Bach tune that Jethro Tull covered so fantastically. So much more difficult. Bass and melody lines traveling different directions, blah, blah. 40 minutes got me 4 measures. Wah, effin, wah. Second session maybe a couple. I guess this is where the commitment has to plug in.

    RIP Tina Turner

    Upon her resurrection in the 90’s, she was my wife’s favorite of favorites. She sort of identified with the themes of those recordings. I, myself, was present with my Dad in the FR watching the Sullivan show when they came out did that number, nice and rough. Even the old man and I were hopping up and down in our seats, and after it was over, we asked each other just what in the hell was THAT? With big smiles.
  7. Well, I can only strongly agree. This is the moment the 14th has been waiting for. Painting the gqp as traitorous confederates would probably not bother them a bit, however. But still needs to be done.
  8. Yes, Royal, you have the guts. Plenty.
  9. 6/15/76. I and my 65 Buick hit the road for Bakersfield

    LBGTQ

    Funny how you use funny, there.
  11. This little sequence could go on indefinitely. Perhaps the judge will see the central merit in that.
  12. Yea, my then 16 yr old did a similar in reverse disaster. She was at her bf’s house, in, yes, a Jeep Cherokee. Come time to leave she puts it into reverse by mistake and climbs all the way on top of her bf’s little mini something. His parents never got over that, thankfully.
  13. And would there be something wrong with that? I add 10 ten penny nails to it on days I want to use masculine pronouns.
  14. Well, also the $20 suit bought from JC Penny’s back in 1962…
  15. I’m with the OP. This is a serious violation, in terms of potential impact. It should not be excused as an imposition of the state or whatnot. If a lawyer can lower the sting a bit but increase the accountability discussion, then, sure.
  16. Cottage cheese and fresh pineapple for breakfast
  17. I drive a 57 Chevy with busted tail lights, burnt out valves, and a leaky radiator
  18. But would you really want 5 more years of the other shit?
  19. Only in the minds of idiots, of which there are more than a few.
  20. That Austin University or whatever the conservatives are setting up. Not a real affiliate, but presumed so by an ignorant public.
  21. I think “non-human” is the proper nomenclature. Yes, we do treat them better.
  22. It’s fairly hard to be truly influential on an advisory committee. Course loads are maxed out, what to trade for what else, etc? The real lingua franca is, of course, money. Luckily, my employer let me bring it by the bushel. So one can influence by funding labs or partnering in research, but the philosophy of the dept/school/college is not really up for debate. Because we were all satisfied with said philosophy, for one thing. But mainly the dept chairs and deans held that subject ferociously close. I imagine a river of faculty exits would occur by the time we get to establishing phrenology programs. Yet we have an associated school that is little more than that, right now. I wouldn’t think holding the money back would count against the pols. If UT destruction is their aim, defunding works for them, too.
  23. Seems the main character is unbearable, in that she simply assumes the world is her oyster and that is her moral center. This after the first 3 or 4 episodes. My wife dislikes the character even more.
  24. When has it been so clear to so many that Texas has a significant conference talent advantage? 2005? I’m just not used to this perspective, after all these years.
