Hut's finally closing
I wrote an article for the hs newspaper in the early 90s on Huts. Got a double Dagburger that literally exploded out of the top of the bun when I took my first but. It's was pretty damn good back then. Great onion rings too. Hopefully a T. Perry's or Smashburger or 5 Guys moves into the location. Can't get enough of those.

Yes: Pools are worth it....
I'd suggest a chiller if you're in Texas. Big difference between 86 and 92. 82-84 if my wife isn't around.

So did you kick his ass or just send a sternly worded letter?

Buck's Barbeque Co.
I agree, but as I noted in my post, he's from Austin. He knows what he's getting into, we used to go to the beach together as kids. Texas beaches. Which obviously don't compare. That said, your dick doesn't shrivel in the gulf and we don't have Box Jellyfish that can kill you. Or Great Whites. So a loss on beauty, a win on usability. Having spent enough time at both, I'll take usability and visit beauty.

Old 97's appreciation thread
Never been disappointed in an Old 97's show. Amazing how much energy they have every single time. Been a long time since I've seen them or checked out an album though. Will need to revisit.

Awesome. My friend (UT Grad/Austin Native) is coming in from Australia with his family over the 4th and we will be in Galveston. Will definitely try to make it to FG. I'll let you know when to put that Meatloaf on the schedule.

The Watch Fanatic Thread
Yes, that is definitely badass and surprised it really isn't something other brands haven't implemented in some fashion.

The Watch Fanatic Thread
I wear a lot of earth tones outside of work. I also love straps. But in a "sports" watch I want a bracelet. Some of the rubber/sailcloth options are ok too, but leather can't go swimming in the ocean with me.

It seems like someone on Shaggy talked about using a watch rental place. Anyone tried something like that? Might be a good way to try a few things out for several months before making any commitment.

I love my IWC to the point I barely wear anything else. Just a great watch and I won't get rid of it. But next to the Overseas it just doesn't compare. That said, I only have a Pilot Spitfire with grey dial, so not a Portugieser or something at a more similar level.

The Watch Fanatic Thread
absolutely, but quite honestly I don't want to put that much thought into it. My grey IWC goes with everything. I think blue basically fits the bill for an "every day" wearer as well. People don't question it. Brown is a little different and as much as I like it, blue may be a better option. Or the white, that would fit pretty much any situation I'd find myself.

Is this heaven? No, its meatloaf. Will this be an every Friday thing? Also, what is your schedule surrounding the 4th?

I really hate the quote feature on this website. And the delete function for previous replies that you just want to remove the quote. That said, very good to know that the brown doesn't look as sharp in person. The non-VC pictures I've seen are underwhelming compared to the website. The brown wouldn't work as an everyday, because I wear a lot of grey/blue suits. But going out it would be something that I could wear pretty much any time. Lot's of jeans and earth-toned shirts. The blue is pretty amazing and is a more "accepted" color compared to the brown. Less coordination. Anyone seen the white?

Setting up for a granny gangbang record it sounds like.- The Watch Fanatic Thread
I've done that with my IWC. It dominates over everything else but this Overseas just blows me away. I'd probably keep the IWC as the everyday wearer at the office. Fucking love the brown dial though. They don't have it though so haven't seen it in person.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting

Speaking of Centennial. I hit up Centennial Liquor there on Guadalupe during halftime of the Notre Dame game in 1996. Smuggled in a handle of Jim Beam. In the bottle. I'm guessing its a little more difficult to smuggle in liquor these days.- The Watch Fanatic Thread
https://www.vacheron-constantin.com/en2/watches/overseas/overseas-chronograph-5500v-110a-b147.html hmmmm Checked out the blue yesterday and its just amazing but I think I may prefer the brown. https://www.vacheron-constantin.com/en2/watches/overseas/overseas-chronograph-5500v-110a-b148.html Also thinking I'm nuts for considering this.- The National
I'm coming around on this somewhat. I really like this album. It just should not be The National. Once you set aside the name of the band, it really has some great songs.- ESPN finally getting its shit together- no more politics
It's a mess and I haven't watched it in years other than occasionally checking in to see if they talk about Texas. Someone basically stated it above, but ESPN:Sports = MTV:Music. Ain'tNobodygottime.gif- ESPN finally getting its shit together- no more politics
The problem is it isn't about sports, its about making "reality TV". I think this is due in part to attempt to make the network more desirable for women viewers, and also because that's just the trend in network programming. The sports is real enough. Most of the programming isn't about showing sports action/breaking down sports action, its about creating drama. If I watch sports, I want to watch sports. Maybe an occasional human interest story, but stay focused on the goal. Provide sports and sports analysis. Politics needs to be kept out of it. ESPN has enough programming for 1 24-hour channel. They have so many channels they have to fill them all up with shit. It's like 24-hour news. There's only so much interesting content. The rest is shit. If games overlap, provide a streaming option. People are too busy to spend time watching shit and they don't want to pay for shit. Give me a 1-hour SportsCenter. A one-hour Gameday. Actual sports content that I care about watching. One-hour show of reasoned analysis. I'd take that channel. The rest is fluff and people are tired of paying for the remaining 99% of shit.- Netflix Recommendations
Re: Bash Brothers This is thirty minutes of my life that I'll never get back. And there will probably be at least another 15 or 20 times I won't get those thirty minutes back. Pretty great is selling that short.- 2018-19 PGA Tour
Tiger definitely faded. But his first 12 holes were pretty great. Easily could have been 9 under through 12. Cantlay's round was on another level. Just rock solid play even after he had the lead and a hell of a comeback victory. Jordan putted pretty great today to make up for a lot of loose shots but overall his game certainly seems to be getting back to where he can compete in the majors. Good to see, but I wish he had a different demeanor on the course. Adam Scott's game is on point.- 2018-19 PGA Tour
And he's missed two birdie putts of less than 10 feet. - 6figs/"Trust the Hamm" greatest hits
