We had them in Shreveport in the 90s. I would routinely stick the straw through both sides of the bag and have to use the straw to drink my milk from one of the compartments on the food tray. We used to blow them up and stick the straw through the other side to make a balloon. One time the kid next to me did this and he dropped it on the ground. I stomped on it and it popped, sounded like a gunshot in the cafeteria. I got in trouble :lol:
Chaos & Truce would make more sense considering that's the order in which they usually occur. Truce & Chaos makes me think of Turks & Caicos.

Man this goes so hard and I've never heard them play more than like the first 10 seconds or so of it in TS. I would love to hear the full version of this in the stadium. Will probably never happen, have to have moar piped in crap with out of sync audio.
Was checking out at a store the other day and the cashier asked me that. I just looked at him and told him I didn't have one. I was holding my phone in my hand at the time.

I'm just trying to make a purchase, we don't need to bring phone numbers or emails into this. Stop trying to harvest my data. Stop asking me a million questions at checkout. shite is beyond aggravating at this point. Can't even get a damn carwash anymore without dealing with some guy pushing a subscription.
Looks better than the one with Brad Pitt by the same name that Netflix also released
Great episode. I was cracking up at all the apples in the tent.

I've not read the books, but watched a bunch of Alt Shift X, etc stuff on the world and all of the history. It's interesting seeing the seeds of Robert's Rebellion get planted even at this time period.

I just got back from a Big Bend trip. It's fantastic. Lost Mine trail is a must do. The other big one is The Window, which I believe is around 5 miles out and back, where you descend on the way out and ascend on the way back. I skipped this one, but you can still get a great view of The Window on the short, flat Window View trail that starts at Chisos Basin. I made the choice to do the Lost Mine trail in the day I had allotted to Chisos Basin, and I'm glad I did. You might be able to do both if you get an early start and are very fit. Lost Mine, at 5.3 miles and nearly 1200 feet of elevation gain was enough for me for one day.

Devote a day to Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive. Start at Santa Elena Canyon and work your way back out.

There are a myriad of trails to choose from. You will not get bored. The landscape is literally like you're in Red Dead Redemption 2 in real life. It changes from desert to mountains in just a few minutes of driving - it's incredibly unique.

If you have time, check out Big Bend Ranch State Park. I did a canoe trip down the Rio Grande with Far Flung Outdoor Center and it was excellent.

On a clear night, the stars are incredible. If you have a camera with a tripod, the night sky photo opportunities are some of, if not the best in the lower 48.

A fellow alum! Go Gata.

Finally had this one, thanks baw!


Bought this Timex a while back after seeing an ad for it and have really enjoyed it. I think this was a limited style, but there are a bunch of Waterbury models out there that are similar. I get more compliments on this one than I do my more expensive watches. It just looks cool with the smoked glass.

Where did you find this 2023 ChatGPT crap? :lol:

The "journalist" that copy/pasted this slop couldn't even bother to do a Google to check if the "information" the AI spit out was even accurate. These people are upset that their jobs are being taken and then proceed to put garbage like this on the internet, wonder why? Of course, OP got the desired result on this forum, but content like this brings absolutely no value to the world. I'm surprised Google even ranked this article, it's on the 2nd page of results, baffling.

St. John is amazing. If you're looking for low-key, "lush island paradise" vibes it's really hard to beat. Not overly tricky to get to (have to fly into St. Thomas and get to the ferry, ~30 min ferry to/from STM), not crowded, very solid dining, incredible beaches, stunning scenery, and just a very chill vibe. Easy to island hop and get over to the BVIs, as well. One drawback is that groceries, gas, etc, all are very expensive on-island. If you're making it a quick trip, this shouldn't affect you too terribly much.

St. John is one of my favorite trips I've ever taken. i usually like to hop around and try new places, but St. John has me considering making a change to that strategy after being there this past summer.

THIS. I went this morning and the guy comes walking over after I am half way through selecting the wash and paying and squeezes between the car and kiosk to try and take over. I told him that I am fine and to move. They make self service shite and then try to get involved. Either have the guy out there to take payment and provide service or make it self service and leave me alone.


I got downvoted to hell on here one time when I mentioned how aggravating this was. "They're just there to help you". No, they're there to try to push the stupid membership that I don't want or need. I'm not a genius, but I can read on the screen where it says how much the wash costs and what it does. I don't need to bring another human into this transaction, go away.

I'm no barge or river expert. What was up with that barge? It looked like it was sinking. Like 20% of the back half was under water. Is it supposed to be that way? Was it just loaded down so heavy? Looked crazy.


I was wondering the same thing. When they first showed it I thought they were just using it as an establishing shot and that the barge was leftover from some hurricane damage. Next thing you know they're towing this half-sunk thing down the river, how does that work?

Here's hoping Sheridan comes up with a dinner theme that ends in Ainsley and Cheyenne mud wrestling in the backyard.
