  1. Stop being obtuse. There are parties every fucking night on or off campus. Why make the choice to go to one where it's believed a higher rate of sexual assault occurs? Statistics are statistics. People that get their purse/wallet stolen from the front seat of the car overnight are victims, but they're dumbasses for putting themselves in the position to be a statistic.
  2. My brine is made and cooling. Turkey will go in the bath tomorrow morning. Free-range heritage bird. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I spare no expense.
  3. Quoted for truth. I'm quite fond of the food I've had in England. Granted I've spent maybe a combined 14-18 days there in my life, but I liked it.
  4. Saw this last night. Agree very much with this post. Can't recommend highly enough.
  5. Spent 2 hours out at Flat Creek Crossing Ranch this morning. What a glorious day for riding. Did more of the XC stuff than usual and lots of uphill. My legs are hating me this afternoon, but goddamn what a great workout. Finished with some of the downhill runs. Seemed rockier than usual, but they've also upgraded some of the trails because they had a race out there recently. Also re-did the entrance road so there aren't 2 feet deep potholes every 10 feet.
  6. No shit. Talk about a fan base that gets it
  7. Well my Kst bet paid off and I had a ML parley of Washington and Baylor. Squeaked by on that one so I think I'll do something dumb like find some NFL games to blow it on.
  8. Meh. Definitely better than losing. But the real best case is we win by 3 TDs. I'd pay $50 right now to guarantee that.
  9. I couldn't help myself and took Kst +7. If they beat us, I make some money. If we beat them by more than 1 TD, that was worth the $50 for the reverse jinx
  10. sorry, forgot the key point which is hte flight is Saturday. 4 days later
  11. Going to see Trotter this Friday, with surgery temporarily scheduled on Tuesday Dec. 3rd. What are the odds I'll feel like getting on an airplane for a really long flight to the Middle East? Well, I mean due to the surgery.
  12. There is a 100% chance I'll be seeing that.
  13. The Amigos had the same dilemma with the people of Santa Poco, and they came up with a solution. I'm sure we'll be fine.
  14. At least he's not being political
  15. Cole is on 2 days rest
  16. Pretty much this. It's clear something needed to be done. But I'm not sure how you even draw the line. And who's to say what is fair market value for what they should be making. If someone is willing to pay them $X amount, that is market value.
  17. This advice here is freaking money. Also good stuff from bernorange and syndneycarton. I will simply reiterate what they said in terms of opening your eyes to other regional cuisines and flavors. About 5 years ago I flipped my animal/plant protein intake ratio around 180 deg. I refused to give up cow milk in my cereal because all the alternate milks disgust me, and eggs are a life saver when you have 3 kids and a wife that works. But other than that was vegetarian. I wasn't a nazi about it, and when I travel for work or we go out to eat, I generally get what I want, which includes vegetarian sometimes. But we don't go out to eat very often. I'm pretty much the same now, except we typically mix in seafood 1x/week, which turns into 2x with leftovers. I'll say it's not as hard as you think, and you shouldn't be concerned about not getting enough protein. There are plenty of plant-based sources, and you don't really need as much as you think you do. Here are some ideas for various meals. Breakfast: cereal, oatmeal, fruit, smoothies (I'm talking good smoothies that are nothing but berries, greens, and lemon. You can put some chia, flax or hemp seeds in there for additional nutrition. And a splash or OJ helps getting the kids to drink it). Lunch: I'm a creature of habit, and for as long I can remember I've had a sandwich, chips, and a couple of pieces of fruit for lunch. When I changed my diet, my sandwiches had to change, as I used to eat regular deli meat. I now substitute hummus for the meat. There are 20 different flavors to choose from at the store, and when you added avocado and a green of choice, it's a way better sandwich they I used to have. Dinner: It's easy to fall into using carbs like pasta and rice as filler when you go vegetarian, but there are lots of substitutes out there that leave you just as satiated. Black bean pasta, Soba noodles, cauliflower rice, wild rice (this actually isn't rice). Mix those with eggs, nuts, veggies, beans, good cheese if you want, and you have a killer meal. Curries with potatoes, beans, and veggies is also really good. Someone mentioned soups in the Instant pot and I couldn't agree more. Lentils, black eyed peas, or black beans make for good soup protein. Mung beans and white beans tend to break up when I cook them, but I'm likely doing it too long. But broken up beans make for good dip starters, which make sore good snacks or even sandwich fillings.
  18. What an absolutely stupid fucking argument from chin pubes. The Ags have beaten TX State and Lamar as their OOC opponents. Any conference win by anyone in the B12 surpasses either win they have on their OOC schedule. I love that he's holding up beating Miss St as their shining accomplishment.
  19. On a first date.
  20. That's the shit you taste.
  21. Not sure when this happened, but Wild Kitchen out on Hwy 71 closed. Can't say I'm surprised as everytime we went we were totally underwhelmed by the food. We kept wanting to like it as the menu was really good, but their execution was shit. Our kids loved it though, and frankly the food on the kids was more consistently good than the regular menu.

    Did you sit at the Kitchen Bar? If it's just you and the bride, try that next time. It's not real conducive to parties of 3+, but it's pretty fun to watch the madness of the kitchen. And I don't think I've been yet where the chef's aren't friendly, willing to talk about how/why they cook things a certain way, as well as willing to give some freebies. I love that place. Also, for those with families, a pro move is to order pizza/wine/beer at the bar right when you walk in and carry it out to one of the picnic tables in the oak grove. It's well shaded, there's usually a breeze, and the kids can play on the big playscape while you and the wife indulge in good pizza and refreshments. One of my favorite places to go out to eat with the family.
  23. Honestly it really depends on the lines and how many games I like. Typically it's 4-5 games. But if you look at the 7 gamer above, the ML is crazy big, and it took 7 games to barely get above even money odds. The 4 gamer below that got about the same odds. I guess I could have fooled around with combinations of those 11 games to see if somehow the odds got better, but that would take more time than I'm willing to spend on something I do for shits and giggles. BTW, I use Bovada and typically the cutoff for when the ML disappears is ~23-25 point spread. There's no hard cutoff though.
  24. JFC this is a trainwreck of a sentence.
  25. I just came here to say that is the sexiest woman on the face of the planet.
