This doesn't work for me.

I don't think it worked for her parents either.

Two - '94 and '95 Houston Rockets. I want to count '05's UT championship, but I didn't go to school there I had attended all home games for the previous eight seasons though when they one and I was pretty fucking stoked when VY ran in that TD. Don't want to count Comets, so I won't. Dynamo would be ...

Agreed, it was hilarious.

You can't buy beer in Lexington on Sunday until 11 AM. That will teach me to not do my grocery shopping while the holy rollers are at church. And I know it used to be no alcohol sales on Sundays here, but what the fuck is the difference between 11 and 9 AM? A six-pack before brunch. Maybe the laws ...

New to the show or are you rewatching?

New and reading this thread with squinted eyes.

Random stat - in the last month, the Astros have lost .5 games on the first place in the AL West. Not terrible baseball being played in H-town.

I've watched 34 episodes of this show since last Monday. The last episode I watched was Jessie and Walt's fight in Jessie's casa. I hate that this show is ever ending.

Not having Duncan in when you need a stop and a rebound to win the fucking championship is about an indefensible a decision as one can make. Almost as bad was leaving Manu in the entire time too. Momentum schomentum, the Spurs still should've won despite all that, so I think they take game 7 by 10.

Not even the block of the playoffs.

No shit! IIRC, she's pretty hot.

Those snocones were in the crapper, much like the Astros season, amirite!?!?

Hey Giff, an old classmate of mine plays in two different bands in the Houston bar scene. Ever heard of Zwee or Sky Blue 72?

Yes! At least Sky Blue 72.

The Carrell cameo was perfect.

Hey this team is currently only two games behind the pace of the 2005 team that went to the World Series!

I.R.S. Apologizes to Tea Party Groups Over Audits of Applications for Tax Exemption I dunno. First off, I want the IRS auditing the fuck out of ANYONE applying for tax exempt status.

Whoa! Are you all right?

I am pretty embarrassed I was watching it!

But if you've seen the replay of the guy catching a foul ball with his hat while holding a kid, I'm in the wide angle shot. We were about three seats over in the next section.

I was just on Sportscenter!

Woohoo, avoid the season sweep. #

Astros are 5-6 in series openers (should've been 6-5, thanks a lot Ankiel). They've won 4 games other than that.

Giff

I don't know if Giff & his buddy are still there but it looks like 90 percent Tigers fans at this point. We stayed til they scored the 7th run. Did you see the guy who caught the foul ball while holding his baby? We were right next to them. And you are correct, it was at least 90% Tigers fans t...

Are there 4D movie theaters in 'MURICA? They are the norm over here. 18,000 WON ($16.50) to sit in a seat that moves, shakes, vibrates, pokes your back and legs, all while getting bursts of air and mist shot at you. Plus the movie is in 3D. Iron Man 3 was better because of it. There's a new theater...

The only sliver lining in today's Tigers/Twins debacle was the Tigers broke the AL record for most consecutive games throwing 10+ strikeouts. With four games against the Astros coming up, they could really put some distance away on that one. Going to Minute Maid tonight with my buddy from Michigan.

The Rockets will not finish within 10 points in any game against the Thunder. They've run out of gas. Not a bad result for the youngest team in the league. Bring on Josh Smith .

I like the Texans pick, though.

And that was me making fun of our new WR smearing feces all over his hotel room at the Combine.

IIRC the Suns own the Lakers 1st rounder.

I thought it was only if it was a lotto pick (and I'm sure top 3 protected or something).

And wow, Westbrook out indefinitely with a torn meniscus.
