That's what happens when the biggest game in town is a Baptist university. (I grew up Baptist in Texas, I know.)

Guess what the weather was like today? (I'll give you a hint. Low 80s.)

I grew up in the Metroplex (born in Dallas), and seriously, if I was told I had to move to either Dallas or Houston, I would choose Houston. Wayyyy too much Oklahoma seeping into North Texas, nowhere near enough sabor. Or HEBs. (MUST. HAVE. CONVENIENT. HEBS.)

Additional counterpoint: Beaumont

Reading the Bible is pretty much one of the big reasons I ended up becoming agnostic (after growing up in Southern Baptist Churches).

I only know 2 municipal flags, and both have no seals in sight:

Make America Fundamental Again!

Cooper for MVP! (His on-screen bio mentioned Wrigley Field, and I'm a total homer.)

That may be it. The last straw that makes me seek out a new NFL team. Wonder if any team’ll ever move to San Antonio, that way I can keep it in-state but not Houston...

I've definitely been publicly intoxicated at ABIA before, as have pals of mine. If you don't cause a ruckus or treat people like an angry drunk, then it's usually no problem.

Hmm, El Paso is the halfway point on that drive back.

I’ve made that drive in both directions many times. It is 22-ish, but if going solo, it really is safest to stop & get a few ZZZZs along the way, at least for a few hours. (Coincidentally, a drive from Austin to Chicago takes about the same amount of time. We’re just doomed to be a full day away from cities where…

I think kids right around my age (35) were the last to lay in the back window or the floorboards. Definitely a different time.

Exactly. I’m quite happy with my significant torso scars (I’ll still wear bikinis too, other people will just have to deal) in comparison to not surviving my crash at all.

After the typical 3-point belt messed me up big time (12 broken ribs & broken clavicle, damaged intestines & internal bleeding, fractured C1 vertebrae - but it still contributed heavily to my life continuing) during a highway-speed head-on crash last fall, I’m seriously looking into adding another point or two to my…

So far it seems that you & I are the only Dragonlance readers on Deadspin., but at least we're not alone.

I know, not even a hint of Harvest Gold in that kitchen...

I'm a big fan of day drinking, so maybe that's why I like this kind of beautiful kitsch so damn much.

That. Is. AMAZING. Beautiful nicknaming.

I’m of the opposite mind after growing up in an AL market then seeing NL play & falling in love with the strategy of “how the fuck do you deal with getting around this hole in the lineup?” I love the hell out of NL play, it led me to find the team I’ve been all-in with since my late teen years, and every time I start…
