May 13, 20232 yr Popular Post Just talked to MAC. He's got 99 problems but bein' dead ain't one. Still obviously lots of health challenges, but he says he's seeing some slight improvement here and there. We talked about BBQ, catfish, brunswick stew, burgoo, the Civil War, the Big Thicket, Tennessee's inherent recruiting problems in Knoxville ("hillbillies are mean, and annoying on the field, but ultimately of no consequence...) and a few other things. Also, his doctor said he could eat whatever he wanted so he sent out for a Whataburger double patty melt with jalapenos.
May 13, 20232 yr Popular Post Going from being taken off machines to ordering Whataburger seems like a step in the right direction. Hang in thete MAC. 🤘
May 13, 20232 yr Two thoughts: 1. MAC needs surly access in the hospital 2. we need to send him a wreath

Then during the Roy Moore debacle he was intrigued and amused by Bama doings, and included Birmingham as a stop on his tour of old family graveyards and Pokemon critters between Houston and Nashville. He was in the upstairs bedroom and our geriatric dog got nervous and shit all over the upstairs bathroom next to where MAC slept. I found it, and remember, I'd just met the dude in person, I was like, damn, do I need to get Johnny to the emergency room? Then I saw dog foot prints in the poo and a guilty dog watching from outside the door. Brilliant of him to frame the dog

I know some people started doing pulled pork and chicken in Brunswick stew, but I always thought if it wasn’t some critter like squirrel or possum it wasn’t Brunswick stew. This is an important topic, and I would love to know MAC ‘s opinion

I mean, I grew up in Longview, but I'm probably too young to be him. Still, you should PM me some pics of those burnt orange bongos just to be safe.

What makes a wreath cheeky?

May 13, 20232 yr Can we find Dr. Drunkenstein and have his elixir? That was the original wreath fund as I recall. Pulling for MAC, and pretty cool to read those articles and see the legacy he’s written. Edited May 13, 20232 yr by Hefeweizen Fuuuuuuuu
May 13, 20232 yr Author Popular Post Can we find Dr. Drunkenstein and have his elixir? That was the original wreath fund as I recall. Pulling for MAC, and pretty cool to read those articles and see the legacy he’s written.There’s a part of me that would very much like to send a wreath with “Get well Dr Drunkenstein” crossed out and “get well MAC” scrawled over it. It would absolutely get a chuckle.

May 13, 20232 yr If he's eating Whataburger he ain't actively dying.Firing up the big motor in a few and headed back to the dock and Texas, I think I'll have what MAC’s having.He needs a T-shirt that says “Brisket dared me to live, hold my beer (for keeps)”If it is his last meal though, hope he gets to eat from the good batch of fries.

May 13, 20232 yr Author Popular Post I’m just here for MAC’s comments on this thread.You know…I kinda am too. He’ll be ripshit pissed at me for making it a thing…but at least he’ll be alive to be ripshit pissed, which I’ll take.So, here’s hoping that MAC reads this, gets pissed, and writes a whole Substack piece on what a fucking asshole Brisketexan is (I assure you, it will be accurate and meticulously researched and cited).

So, here’s hoping that MAC reads this, gets pissed, and writes a whole Substack piece on what a fucking asshole Brisketexan is (I assure you, it will be accurate and meticulously researched and cited). It's really important for people to know they're loved while they're alive. Seems pretty basic, I know, but its the truth.

Are we having a wreath shipped in from England? What makes a wreath cheeky? No problem dude. We are in the same boat bad week wise, and I was sort of wandering around shit posting last night. My best friend from high school and college was battling prostate cancer while I was dealing with colon cancer, and then after my success his came back…..and then his wife of 42 years got lymphoma six months ago. I heard yesterday from him. MDA called them. It was time for hospice. Ignore me buddy, I’m just sort of mad at God and the world right now.

May 14, 20232 yr Great writing. "Maybe" should be change to "defiantly" a coordinator. Much love sir. See you on the other side.
May 14, 20232 yr 1. Be good to one another. (Or at least act like you are.) 2. If you have a good mother, be motherfuckingthankful. 3. Watch your grammar.
May 14, 20232 yr So what y'all are saying amounts to: 1) Be excellent to each other 2) Party on Dudes?

May 14, 20232 yr Popular Post Godspeed John! The intro paragraphs of the NEISD enchilada article really struck a cord with me. Many, many decades ago my grandfather would (strategically in hindsight) come eat lunch with me during grade school. Those are some of my most cherished days and looking back I can see they were targeted around specific home-cooked cafeteria dishes of days gone by. Whatever the reason he came, my grandfather made my week on those days. John’s article brought those memories and gratitude back into my consciousness and I’m extremely grateful. A skilled author never knows the impact his words will have on the individual reader.
