  1. Nice. Add a chrome roll bar with some daylighters on top, and then we're talking.
  2. *were
  3. Many companies in my area started them over a month ago. Disti channel is already seeing it, direct routes to market will see it starting today. Average of 10% increase across the board, higher in cases where value is higher. There's been a flurry of customer buy-ahead activity, that should come to an end now.
  4. The "talking to him for 3 days" translates to "Beard is tolerating the ags' advances just enough to secure a large pay raise and contract extension from his current employer."
  5. Well that, plus, Texas absolutely did not have to fire him. Texas could have kept him, and then when the charges were dropped, acted like everything was okay. Which would have been the wrong thing to do. Just like the ags attempting to hire him was the wrong thing to do.
  6. Per the announcement a little while ago:
  7. Nah my aggie wife and her direct family are awesome. The extended family, on the other hand, not so much. But I rarely have to interact with them, so it's okay.
  8. One of my aggie inlaws' aggie cousins told me straight to my face that UT was a sleazy disgusting win-at-all-cost hellpit and there's no way we would fire a horrible person like Beard, when it would hurt our chances of winning. Until of course we did a couple of days later, but I don't recall him having anything to say about that. I haven't talked to him in months but I sure would be curious to see what he thinks about Beard these days.
  9. It all started in 1876. Texas didn't join the SEC until 2024.
  10. Used to be standard at so many Tex-Mex places. Memories...
  11. I've tended to go in the hot summer months and often had the place almost entirely to myself.
  12. Cool, appreciate your insider insights.
  13. Is Meanwhile underrated or is it widely liked? I like it quite a bit, but don't hear many folks outside of this thread talking about it. And Distant Relatives is legit BBQ, really tasty. That's an awesome place to spend a spring afternoon.
  14. One of the drawbacks of the craft beer explosion in the US, is that it's become harder and harder to find import beers here, especially on draught. I used to go to the Dog and Duck or the Gingerman or Maggie Mae's Olde Side and drink the hell out of some Fuller's ESB, or Whitbread, or Young's Oatmeal Stout, or Sam Smith's Taddy Porter. It's not easy to find a lot of that kind of stuff on tap anymore. These days I walk into a bar or tap room that's got 30 taps on the wall, and 20 of them are some version of American IPAs, 4 are various hard ciders, a couple are macro-swill from BudMillerCoors, and there might be one or two that I actually find interesting. It's a travismahockery.
  15. We used to do a Burnet Road dive crawl for a friend of mine every year on his birthday. Buddy's Place, Ginny's Lil Longhorn, Poodle Dog, and Lala's. Originally he rented a bus for all of us, then later we realized we could just take the #3 the whole way. You've never seen folks as confused as the normal bus riders watching thirty or forty late 20s/early 30s pile onto the #3 to ride for 3/4 of a mile. We also tended to overwhelm the regulars at Buddy's Place but after a couple of years they started expecting us. Plus, some of us went there pretty regularly ourselves, anyway.
  16. Oh yeah Waterloo too. Or Cooter's depending on how old your kids were. Or, Monterrey House, way back in the day.
  17. My parents still live in the same house I grew up in, a couple blocks away, over by the skating rink. My dad would gladly share a pregame youth soccer tailgating beer with you, but alas their house isn't close enough to have been a parking destination for you. Pluckers or Trudy's (RIP) wouldn't have been a terrible walk, though. I feel like my usual parking spot at Town & Country was probably about the same distance.
  18. Doss Owls are a weird breed. Makes me even more glad, that I'm a Pillow freaking Panther.
  19. Finally got a little at my place. 0.4" is better than a sharp stick in the eye.
  20. Yeah that's what I assumed you were talking about. I don't like any of them, but the midwest IPAs from founders and bells were at least slightly more balanced than their west coast counterparts.
  21. Maybe Nicole is the pirate captain of that row boat and that's how they dump the bodies.
  22. Bury the power lines in the unused subway tunnels. Problem solved.
  23. Cool! Looking forward to seeing the end product.
