Again??

Does it have to be Al's?

I happen to know he's alive and well, and I'm sure he appreciates all the well wishes!

I suspect their goal with the introduction of that OS was to "dazzle" everyone into upgrading their hardware to touchscreen technology. Force an iteration of PC sales. Obviously it didn't work too well.

Feliz Cumpleanos, Tecolote Grande!

Thank you for the continuing list, KH! It is much appreciated.

Org. board member Soulstream is all over the Billy Gibbons episode, check it out - Mike's rockin' the organ! And he's got his regular organ trio gig at the Continental Club in Austin, go see him if you're in town. It's well worth it! You might see him with Jimmie Vaughan or many other fantastic guitarists. And he's a great guy to boot.

I see the LTIA sun on that poster! This was the poster for the first KC show I saw, at a large festival in Wiesbaden:

Or pay employees reasonable wages, negating the requirement for a tip in the first place.

Something I don't understand about tipping (at least in the U.S.) - why does Starbucks expect you to tip them but McDonald's doesn't? Is there any fundamental difference in what the service is? They are preparing food or drink for you and you pay them for said food/drink. Why does Starbucks have tip jars by the register and at the drive-thru window? Are their employees more deserving of a tip than a McDonald's employee?

http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/160678/twitter-reaction-to-seattle-seahawks-fourth-quarter-interception All of these NFL players (who I'd assume have more knowledge about football than you, but then again there are no guarantees) feel like it was a terrible play call. I don't see a comparable article compiling NFL player comments that say "Great Call! Too Bad it was intercepted".

I apologize. Clearly you are the expert and we are all idiots and you hate us. Whether we are older than you and have watched and evaluated more football than you or not. Simply doesn't matter. You're the expert. Your opinion rules. Nobody else's can possibly be valid for themselves.

So YOU are saying it's NOT common sense to defend against the most likely play the Seahawks would and should call?? That's exactly what the Patriots did.

If I'm Pete Carroll and the Pats come in with that defensive package, I either run Marshawn Lynch up the middle anyway (since there's a 50/50 chance he gains a yard or two anyway, since he'd been averaging 4+ yards per carry the entire game), or run a QB option around the end with Lynch trailing, giving Wilson the option to keep it or pitch it. Never a pass. That wasn't a tricky or clever defensive call by the Patriots, it was common sense to try to defend against what the Seahawks likely call in that situation on the 1 or 2 yard line - i.e. Lynch up the middle. Carroll tried to be clever instead and it cost them the game.

Tempting! Maybe I can drive out in my RV. Can I hook up at your place?

I'd love to see The Church, but not during SXSW unfortunately. I wish they were coming to Austin at a different time of year.

Which means dick. For my purpose it meant that most people don't seem to have as high an opinion of Mr. Winston as Cali has.

How about Philly on May 28, Aggggggggggg? Now why on earth do you think I have any affiliation with Philly?? Yeah, might have to consider that one for sure!

I apologize for the "Not much else" part. Uncalled for on my part.

More people - in every single state - think Winston is going to be a bust in the NFL, according to the current poll on ESPN.

You come across as a serious Winston fan boy. Not much else. His team was undefeated, nobody's arguing that. They were barely undefeated against a not-very-tough schedule, and had to come from behind to do so, and Winston threw more interceptions this season than the previous one. He didn't have as good a season. Playing a good opponent finally in Oregon, they were blown out 59-20. That tells me FSU were overrated this season.

Would be nice if he decided to pass through Texas again some day.

If he worked as hard as you claim and was as great as you claim, FSU would have absolutely dominated their opponents this season. But they didn't. Winston played only as well as he had to to pull out come-from-behind wins against lesser teams with lesser talent all season long. He made mistakes, poor decisions (how about pushing that ref ON THE FIELD DURING THE GAME and getting away with it - for most players that's an automatic ejection). In retrospect TCU should've been the 4th team in the playoffs based on their performance, not FSU. But FSU got it only because they got the benefit of the doubt due to their weak, undefeated status. Winston's got a more prototypical build and arm for the pros than Johnny Football did. I'd still be just as wary of drafting him as teams were with Manziel.

His off field transgressions certainly bolster the claims that's he's not very bright, and is coddled and has a sense of entitlement. I've never suggested he's not talented on the field. I don't think he works as hard as you obviously do, but I resent the suggestion that I'm being racist because of it.

Right Kinda Guy. I put it in quotes before using the acronym. Sorry, i assumed that made sense.
