    I went to law school there in the early 2000s. It was fuckin Mogadishu without the beaches.

    I’m sure Waco is much nicer now. Can we move on?

    Easy there Deez! Been married 21 years. She's a Baylor alumn. We met after college. I think once our youngest daughter is out of the house I can get her to move somewhere we would call a compromise. New Braunfels, Wimberly, San Marcos area. But not Waco.

    Deez must have started drinking early. That was pretty insulting.
    And not typical of him.

    Nah it’s all good. Ain’t no way I’m living up there, too isolated. Never even heard of a one legged stripper! Paints an ugly picture though, dayum!

    I did drink early and often in Waco. The one-legged stripper thing was obviously a joke (though I knew a guy who went to Two Minnie's, and the chicks were pretty "tore up"), but the turd-smelling water was definitely not a joke. At least when I lived there, the water had a very distinct fecal odor. It was disgusting. Wacoans blamed dairy farmers near the Brazos River. The dairy farmers pointed the finger at Waco's antiquated water filtration system. I tend to blame Waco. I've lived near dairy farms in Portugal and here in the UK. The water didn't smell like ***.

    Head west of Waco on highway 6 past Lake Waco towards Meridian and along the Bosque river. Nice vistas and scenery.

    I'm mainly insulting Waco, not his wife. If his wife wants to live in Waco, she is misguided, not a bad person. If you gave her a glass of water from Waco, she'd presumably change her mind.

    In other words, Waco is nice once you're no longer in Waco.

    I agree with you though. That area is pretty nice. Mrs. Deez's sister and her family live in Woodway. It's not fancy, but it's reasonably nice.

    Here's the general rule, with some exceptions. If you're east of Herring Ave., more than a quarter of a mile north of Hwy. 6, west of Loop 340 on the east side, and south of where 340 meets up with IH-35 in Bellmead (which is even dumpier than Waco), you're in a **** hole. If you're outside those perimeters, you could still be in a **** hole, but it's far less certain. Your water still smells like turd though. You smell worse after taking a shower than before.

    The Lake Whitney area is 30 minutes from Waco and about 1 hour from DFW. I may end up there in the next 5 years.

    Tyler is a better retirement option than Dallas county.

    We looked at Marshall because of the many 19th century homes in that town. It's my wife's dream to have (me) restore an old Victorian. Marshall is so economically depressed, I checked out.

    Definitely headed that direction tho. Less mountain cedar, less chaos than Dallas county. We live in a nice crime free area, but how long can any section of Dallas county can stay that way. Not long imo

    I think 6721 was joking about your reference to the one-legged hooker.

    Mike Rhyner of KTCK always joked about the one armed stripper in Wichita Falls. That would have been fun to watch while drunk, if she'd existed..

    Basically, he sounds like an 8-year old

    “Maybe someone like a Jeff Goodman said something — and I’ve got him blocked, anyway — so now a fan wants me to know what Jeff Goodman says, so he tags me,” Stackhouse said. “Well, now you’re blocked, too. I don’t want to see this on my timeline. I don’t want the noise. Don’t want the hate. Y’all mad your man got fired, man. That’s the real world.”

    “New regimes come in and they bring in their people. And change happens,” he said. “And it can happen, especially when you don’t win a game. If I don’t win a game, I don’t know what the hell I’d do. But I couldn’t be mad about nothing. Even in my situation. But that’s what people tried to lose sight of, the reality of where we are.”

    Stackhouse wasn’t done shifting the blame. The “75 million” people who voted for Trump. In other words, Stackhouse seemed to imply, if people are dumb enough to vote for Trump, they’re dumb enough to question his knowledge of basketball. And, oh yeah, if they voted for Trump, they must hate Stackhouse.

    “How am I not qualified when I played basketball at the highest level and played under some Hall of Fame coaches?” Stackhouse asked. “I don’t have the acumen to know what I’m looking at? What’s the angst? And it becomes the things we see right in front of us, man.

    “All I can say is, 75 million people voted for Trump. That’s all I can say. You ain’t fooling me. I know what it’s about, a lot of you hate everything we did when we came here about the staff, the diversity of the staff, it was this or that. And I like to think I know a little something about building teams and what organizations should look like. I’ve worked and played for some of the best organizations.”

    He really makes some good points. I'm closer to realizing what a stupid racist I must be.

    Mrs works for Vanderbilt. She has Vandy interns every 6 months. They are all entitled SJWs that are useless. Two have quit due to “stress” of interning. Can’t wait to have them deliver ObamaCare.

    I should have provided more context. Neither of the two were capable of showing up on time much less preparing for their scheduled patients. Both claimed too much extra curricular stress and were allowed to opt out of interning for the semester due to circumstances beyond their control. Oh, this was pre-Covid.

    One armed stripper I believe. A one legged stripper could only dance to "At the Hop"

    Punctuality is a lost value. Most people I know under 40 don't give a crap about being on time even in a professional setting. It's remarkable.
