  1. She is so dang hot. I'm not normally one for face tats, but she pulled it off.
  2. I mean I guess I could have quoted the tweet from the previous page. This is all my fault and I apologize.
  3. Okay it's official-- I now wear Bottas underoos.
  4. Yeah the city gets involved in plenty of stupid projects and plenty of grifty projects, but this one was privately funded all along. I saw the articles when they first announced it and thought the trolls were pretty cool-- I think Austin is as good of a place as any to have one. I do seriously wonder, though, how long it'll be before some asshole tags it or destroys it. That'll suck.
  5. Megaforce, Krull, and Beastmaster were all in heavy rotation on HBO and Cinemax in the early/mid 80s. I've seen each of them probably dozens of times, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
  6. Stiles Switch - chicken-fried BBQ beef rib (when available)
  7. What do you expect from a dude named Jose' Porn?
  8. Yup that was what we called "The Field." I had a friend on Melshire as well, we dug a complete tunnel under his fence and covered the yard-side of it with some scrap plywood and branches. We'd tell his folks we were playing in the backyard but then we'd go escape into The Field. We thought we were living some real-life prison movie escape drama. Turns out his parents knew the whole time and just played along for fun. Good times.
  9. Totally agree, so glad we ignored the advice NOT to go there, and went anyway, armed with this knowledge. Had some fantastic beer and snacks, ignored the schnapps and watched a nearby table get angry when they found out what a scam that was. Also the oompah band knew the tune to "I've Been Working on the Railroad" so we tipped them to play it, and then confused everyone by singing The Eyes over and over again...
  10. Of course, a brand new 1979 Trans Am only cost around $7,200, so advantage aggy.
  11. I think you and I have talked about this before, I grew up about a block away from Playland (my parents still live in the same house), and although it was always Playland for me, there was still "The Field" in between those two old sections of the "Shoal Creek North/Northwest Terrace" neighborhood, where Benbrook and Thrushwood dead-ended. The Field had a lot of trails cut through it, with a lot of built-up bicycle jumps, that we thought were just totally awesome in 1980. It also had a big brushy tree-lined area at the south end where I can only imagine the older kids went and smoked weed.
  12. Didn't get shit, piss, or fuck in NW Travis. The Austin FF farts in this storm's general direction.
  13. It's been addressed by a couple of posters already, but the answer is-- yes it does happen, depending on the company, or even the position or job code within that company.
  14. That talks about desires, but I didn't see anything about actions. I'm interested in seeing if there are actually any studies of people who have already moved, that would support the assertion that "it's mostly Republicans fleeing Democratic states." And it's not so much "can't afford to live in California" but more like "can buy more for their money" in Texas. I'm an engineer/business guy in high tech in Austin, most of the California transplants I know are tech workers that have relocated, often for the same company but switching from bay area offices, to Texas ones, to make their money stretch further. And like I said, not a one of them would be classified as conservative or Republican.
  15. Could be? Is there a link to back that up? I know lots of Californians that have moved to Texas. Not a single one of them could be described as "Republican."
  16. You're obviously a hoot at parties.
  17. Agree 100%. If you couldn't tell by the wording, I was just having some fun. I think it's okay to poke fun at our own program. I don't take myself or UT sports overly seriously. It's entertainment-- it's supposed to be fun. But I disagree with this 100%. The capability for self-reflection is one of the prime differentiators between Longhorns, and ags. It's a tremendous weakness for them, that they take themselves far too seriously, and are completely incapable of self-reflection.
  18. We've had our own issues, like an assistant coach who got involved with a chubby trainer, Case McCoy's video escapades, and of course Ol Freak Nasty. But at least none of them were murderers.
  19. Banh mi, imo I appreciate the sentiment but good lord, why would anyone subject themselves to some of the worst beer on the planet, when the French make the best wine?
  20. I've liked the Imagine models for years. I don't own one but I tour through the boat and RV show every year and Imagine always have a tighter fit and finish than the majority of competitors.
  21. Such a beautiful era of cars!
  22. pickle talk on the BBQ thread not going away
