  1. Given cloak room is chock full of former Republicans, you may need to soften that forever thing. Texans wanting to leave thread also speaks to some malleability in tribal commitment. But, yea, I dig it, too.

    homeless

    Yes, Jackson would be a good neighborhood for starts. Climb the hill to Swedish and see how many homeless are encountered per block.

    #Texit

    Some one brought up San Antonio with Lackland and Ft Sam. Add Fts Bliss and Hood and you have to wonder what the USA. would do. Maybe what they have always done, and say it’s federal property of the USA and local rules don’t apply. Try and argue.
  4. And just as Mensa Tom arrives.
  5. 1968, I think, and LBJ comes to rat warren Killeen, of all places, to dedicate the new JC there (CTC). My eldest sister and her HS civics class went out to ogle. Somehow she got her hand out and as he came by he shook it and said “how are you doing, darling?” As if he were Willie.
  6. Been a long time since I could reference this song on these boards, John Hiatt’s Buffalo River Home. Only two things in life, but I forget what they are Its either hangin’ on a moonbeam’s coattails Or wishing on a star
  7. Was a Buffet fan, pretty sure I learned “ Come Monday”. Yikes. Fast forward 35 years at my retirement when one of the venues was a Buffet show at the Woodlands. Anyway, the more the show went on the more tired of it we, the wife and I, became. First to leave my retirement party, as it should be.
  8. Never having been cool in the first place renders this dilemma moot. I guess that’s “mute” hereabouts.
  9. If the latter happens, the shame of being an American will, of course, have the opposite effect to our politics as it should.
  10. I am not believing I ever laughed at, shared, or otherwise endorsed his cartoons. Something has gone awry in his head.

    LBGTQ

    If it ain’t no big thing, Ana, then let the sports leagues experts and those responsible make the calls. Nothing on earth, outside of the culinary arts, will satisfy you. So why bang your head against it?
  12. Didn’t Aesop cover this?

    I was talking to my son after this game, also a UT grad, and he said he’d never experienced a UT-OU game or outcome like that. I countered perhaps no one alive had. At least in terms of emotional satisfaction. Very nice to find oneself in a conversation about this game. We can take this to our graves, but, being us, I hope for just a bit more. Another time or two, thanks.

    homeless

    Fatty come on up to Seattle, live homeless, say, up on first hill, for a couple of weeks, then give us your oral report.
  15. Ivar’s shelves? We’re they made of clams?
  16. Yola - nah, same rule applies. Even there. Especially there.🤮
  17. Really a dearth of actionable ideas. Here is the one we here simply assume: We will ride this out in our better or much better jobs and our better and much better domestic arrangements. I do have doubts as to whether this will work. And it does accept the reality of the mass suffering of those outside this description. Shameful enough as this assumed plan is at the personal level, at the society level it might just be disastrous for all.
  18. Fair point as well. We all make accommodations of some degree. Still, refusing to work for that piece of shit and his immoral, treacherous intentions would be the moral choice. Skilled as he is, there are other jobs.
  19. And, good lord, some are saying his obvious big sin outweighs all that good guy crapola.
  20. Yes, YGIFS may have crossed a line there. Whatever talent we have, or will, or drive, or religion, or being a good guy. None of it is inherently ok. It matters only what end this skill serves. Come back across the line. There is only the deepest well us forgiveness here.
  21. Captain Perhaps unsaid here is that justice might otherwise be served outside of the law. At any rate, that idea is out there and galloping. One might imagine that with sufficient frustration justice comes to look more important than the law. I don’t support these ideas (whatever that means), but mounting injustices and mounting frustration are not good for society. Something like climate change. When will the talking stop?
  22. Check out the big brain on Buzzrock
  23. Brick, without an ounce of snark, on my half, can you share a few positive examples? But this is the unpopular thread. So, yeah, I caught Springsteen’s show at the Armadillo in 74 or so and at the auditorium in 76 with the Born to Run tour, Then in with Darkness. I was a fanboy. But, nothing since Darkness seems as original as what came before. Same with Page. He’s seemed lazy since about Houses of the Holy. Yes, I am dating myself. Speaking for Armybrat.
  24. Bob Dylan for the win
