Sweet Jeebus.  Next thing you know, they'll be printing t-shirts and staging a parade for this confederacy of dunces.  Theocracy (or Theocrazy) in has no place in education and here is a perfect example of why.  The worst part is that the children of parents who embrace the anti-vax philosophy will be the innocent victims of such madness. And it's only a matter of time before the public school system will be forced to adhere to the wishes of the Christian Nationalist philosophy thanks to the continued diminishing of separation of church and state.

Someone on Insta said Costco was carrying these now. Anyone put eyes on them in our hood? 
[mention=5553]Herbie Hancock[/mention] gonna be camping outside the new Weatherford one soon. 

Next Saturday the 15th grand opening. Gonna give it a month or so before I venture over there. Apparently they’ve been giving away a shit ton of 30 day guest passes. That’ll definitely get the Azle and Mineral Wells crowd into town. No fuckin thanks.

Never knew Brandin Lea went there. What the hell happened to all them boys?
Wylie Campbell is still the best HS baseball player I’ve seen in person, just kind of plateau’d. 
Lol, I was just informed by a contemporary that Phoebe Strole went to Dunbar and shouldn't even be on there. I got no idea what the Flickerstick crew is up to, they did have that reunion concert a few years ago.

Flickerstick (or what’s left of them) reunited a few years ago for a couple shows. Wife was a huge fan, so I snagged tix. Saw them in May of ‘22 I believe at House of Blues Dallas. Honest to god I couldn’t name you a song of theirs, but she loved it.

WH had two MLB & one NFL players with very brief careers in my era. And now the partner with Tiger in these big-ass golf resort deals. 

Brief due to their own fault or just the nature of the beast? Obviously I grew up a couple hours west, but we had our “badasses” just the same. 98% of those washed out and were back home within 18 months. Crazy to think that of all the legitimate badasses my part of the world produced, the only ones to make a name for themselves are Colt McCoy and Case Keenum. Those guys were so far down the list of area studs it is insane to try and comprehend.

Also served Earl Campbell and Kevin Costner.

Hit up Mi Tierra in the old Furr’s on Alta Mere tonight. Carnitas burrito was $4.59, plenty of meat. They don’t speak jackshit for English in there, should at least have a couple bilingual chicas near the registers. Will go back though for a torta, table red sauce was good.

I think it was Burger of the Month last March and then stayed on the menu. Fred’s Western Center is our go to spot when we’re in the office. I’m pretty much exclusively WFH now though.

What do I order at Freds Texas Cafe?

You dog. When I worked in downtown Ft Worth ate at Fred’s once a week.  The original one.  What a joint.   Usually a burger the next time a great cfs.  Never tried his steak.  Advice on the burger is correct; all good get the one that sounds best to you,

Anyone know what's going in at White Settlement and Isbell?  Building has been abandoned as long as I can remember, had an old specialty foods sign up forever. 

They've slapped a new coat of red paint on the building and seen to be doing big work on the inside. 

Since it's next to Gemelle I am hoping it's not another new Tim Love joint.

Chef Tim Love’s plan for a former Greek-American grocery in the River District is quite a makeover: to a cocktail bar and English-style croquet club.

Stewart’s Croquet & Cocktails will bring the “charm of an English country club” to the River District next door to his Gemelle Restaurant and Hotel Otto micro-resort, according to an announcement from Love Management Inc.

Love bought the 70-year-old George’s Cash & Carry, 4424 White Settlement Road, in August and said he would plan a new concept.

Stewart’s, named for his late father, will seat 28 in a cozy indoor bar and offer a 15,000-square-foot croquet lawn, according to the announcement.

A light-bites menu will include such items as a lobster roll, shrimp cocktail, a croque monsieur, steak frites and a club sandwich.

Stewart’s will have the “timeless charm of an English country club,” according to the announcement.

“In keeping with croquet tradition,” the announcement said, “crisp ‘croquet whites’ jackets or sweaters are encouraged, though Stewart’s will happily offer these classic attire items to any guest who needs them, reinforcing its ethos as ‘a country club for the people.’”

Anyone had the $8 double cheeseburger basket at Purple Frog on Mondays? Pic is kinda funny cause there ain't no meat showing.

No bullshit, great fucking deal. I was expecting basically a Wendy's burger with Ore-Ida fries. That shit was fresh, hot, juicy, & good. Will 1000% be back on future Mondays. $8 domestic pitchers too.

He owns Lone Star, supposedly spent $280K on kid’s lawyer. Enjoy half of 23, fucko. 

My ex worked for Bob at Lone Star @ 30 years ago, and I've never heard anything bad about him. I didn't know if you had some specific run in with him other than his sorry ass son being a murderer.
