  1. I had to try ChatGPT after the idea in the above post... Lauren was drunk the night she messed around in the theater, Management said, "Ma'am, you gotta go." But before she could grab her purse and exit respectably, She flipped ‘em off and screamed about the damned ol’ woke… (Chorus) And she’ll hang around as long as folks elect her ('lect her, 'lect her, 'lect her), Blamin’ libs every time that she fucks up. Vapin’ in the dark and gropin’ on the balcony, Knowin' she don't have to answer to anyone.
  2. Last time I had an MMR booster was for a work trip to SE Asia. Ironically, I'm now on a work trip in Indonesia and probably safer than back in Texas.
  3. Just want to point out that Andreas is a longhorn.
  4. Not saying I've used the disposal option, but accidents happen. I was flying back to Texas from Arkansas the day after this year's UT-Arkansas game. The night before I had sampled a friend's Arkansas legal pen and apparently placed it in my pocket. We had been drinking all day before, during, and after the game. As I am walking up to TSA counter the next day, wearing the same pair of shorts, I reach into my pocket for my ID and I pull out said pen and ID.
  5. Holy shit. Now I can't unsee Mike Lindell.
  6. I have been complaining for the past five years about Tesla and Subaru drivers in Austin. Hang out in the left lane and don't use turn signals. I feel validated.
  7. He just wants to see a video of him doing it while holding two forms of government ID, having a police officer there to verify the whole thing, four or five of his buddies taking notes, and Tucker's grandma to confirm his identity.
  8. The picture of Roethlisberger reminds me of a story from a buddy in Pittsburgh. A girl friend of his and some other friends and him are hanging out at a bar and Roethlisberger shows up. He eventually gets her to leave with him. Takes her to a nice hotel and has a "standby" room always available. Anyways, they go up to the room and she goes in the bathroom to freshen up. She comes out and Roethlisberger is standing at the edge of the bed with no clothes on stroking his dick and looks at her and says "where do you want it?"
  9. Well, we all need someone we can lean on
  10. Agreed on getting rid of lawns. We also need to do brush control. South Texas, the gulf coast, and much of West Texas in the early 1800s were plains of grassland. Most of East Texas was old growth pine spaced out wide enough where you could drive a wagon through the woods with grasses growing underneath. The hill country was oak mottes with grassland, where cedar (juniper) only existed in the steepest canyons due to protection from wildfires. All of those cedar, mesquite, and huisache trees suck up tons of water. There are places in the hill country/Llano uplift/Concho valley where they have done brush clearing where springs and creeks have begun to flow for the first time in over 100 years. A lot of water issues are due to us fucking up the natural environment. Certainly the large population doesn't help.
  11. Great. Now I'm craving some Hruska's...
  12. When I was a little kid and heard about corrupt governments/officials in the world, my naive, uniformed self thought, at least there is no corruption in the US...well except for in Louisiana. No joke.
  13. I have a friend that uses Subarus for his sales fleet in NM/CO/WY/MT. He was riding with a salesman through a small town in Wyoming and a sheriff pulled them over. When he stepped up to the car, the sheriff looked at them, took a breath and said "Oh, I figured you two for a couple of lesbians."
  14. Nice example 686. My dad bought 132 acres a few years ago in the Concho valley, and we see benefits from shooting does and taking care of the bucks. Wish we could feed more protein given the costs and neighbors. We still should shoot more does. See photo for deer with best potential. I think he is only 3.5 yo. Speaking of parents, my mom has part of 300 acres down on the coastal bend. Thinking of going down to Refugio County this weekend. Anyone have any recent reports from down there? I normally just watch deer and enjoy the history and solitude while camping out there.
  15. My mother, father, and I saw one slowly cross in front of us at about 75 yards while driving down a logging road towards our old deer lease on paper land. It happened on a bright, sunny day during the summer of 1997, west/northwest of Moscow, TX. Never will forget it. I reported it to TPWD, but they never followed up.
  16. Just got back to Texas from a 10 day trip visiting my buddy who lives in Montana. Drew a deer tag this year and got a nice, mature 5x6 mule deer. Deer weighed over 250 lbs on the hoof and had a ton of mass. We also did one afternoon goose hunt in a snow storm. We got 6 greater Canadians. Goose leg/thigh gumbo was delicious. We also did a lot of pheasant, grouse, and Hungarian partridge hunting. All public land/public access, other than goose hunt where we knocked on farmer's door and asked for permission to hunt field. Wishing the trip wasn't over.
  17. I have a UK bank account as well, because I lived/worked in Scotland. It was a pain in the ass to get it even though I was living there. I had to prove I was staying there for an extended period of time and provide documentation on income levels and a letter from my company. I needed a bank account immediately after moving there and it still took about a month. I also went through this same process in France, although I canceled that bank account, which in hindsight was a mistake. Also FYI, you have to report any foreign accounts valued over $10k when you file taxes. From a tariff perspective, with its impact on inflation, I thought about transferring dollars into pounds if warranted, but I think tariff based inflation will affect the global economy, so not really the hedge I want it to be.
  18. Second game for me at DKR, after the NMSU game 2 weeks earlier. Going to the game this weekend. Hoping for a much different outcome this time.
  19. Well this is a states' rights issue, so obviously....
  20. How was she a bad candidate? Agreed, no one really got to pick their choice, but she ran it perfectly.
  21. Bumping, as I am excited to see them for the umpteenth time here in Austin next week. They're playing in Austin/Dallas/San Antonio/Houston. My favorite line has always been: "You could save the highway if you'd crash with me tonight" The nostalgia comment above is spot on for so many of their lyrics.
  22. Great post topic! My grandfather on my dad's side was on the USS St. Lo (escort carrier) when it was sunk by a kamikaze after the surface action. He was lucky to be on the last ship sunk, as they rescued those survivors much quicker than the other ships sunk earlier in the morning. As a kid, I used to talk to him about the battle, the kamikaze, and about jumping off the flight deck before it sank. He talked to me about it, but never really talked to my dad about the whole experience. The "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" book, mentioned above, is one of my favorites. I have read it a couple of times. I keep it on my nightstand.
