    Had to look it up. Air rights is a thing. There was also a 1946 supreme court ruling that confirmed this and generally speaking 500 feet is the rule.

    Air rights - Wikipedia.

    "The exact altitude(s) at which the airspace over private land can become subject to "substantial impairment" is often debated. Case law in the past has used the height of 500 ft (150 m) in urban or suburban areas,[5] and 360 ft (110 m) above the surface or tallest structure in rural areas..."

    Culinary choices that make you a sick and demented person:

    - Mayonnaise on burgers or hot dogs
    - Sauce on a good steak
    - Beans added to random dishes
    - Squid in any form, other than as bait when fishing
    - Sugar on top of fruit
    - Stirring in guacamole or a bunch of other stuff into a perfectly good queso dip
    - Cake without ice cream (this one doesn't make you sick and demented, but it does make you a tease--or just a lazy host)

    Not sure where this falls on the spectrum but.... Texas will regret going to the SEC.

    Why? Only other options were

    1) BigTen (Warren is a bigger moron than Bowelsby).

    2) Independent - Nobody in line to pony up the cash nearly the size of the SEC checks

    3) Stay in Big Outhouse with a bunch of neverwas wannabes, who can't fill up HS stadiums much less a real stadium. Then there's the issue with the TV money, which would be about 15% of SEC

    Will competition be tough? Hell yes, but TV is paying for quality not to see Third Ward play Florida Swamp Academy before 15 paid fans.

    Step up, put on your big boy panties and get ready to compete with the best or get blown out. I'm convinced that Chris is building a program worthy of those lofty paychecks coming our way.

    Mayo is best for dipping fries in - ketchup is garbage

    Sorry, Driver, quality fries only need to "dipped" in salt. Fast food crap should be "dipped" and left in the trash.

    You have countered my opinion with the view of a man who knows nothing of the proper and civilized treatment of the glorious french fry.

    Salt generously, then dip in Hellmann's mayo. This is the way.

    Now good day sir I SAID GOOD DAY.

    - Mayonnaise on burgers or hot dogs -- Who the heck doesn't like Mayo on a burger?? I bet you've never had mayo with fries....it's all the rage in Germany...no tomatoes.
    - Sauce on a good steak -- no sauce...gross
    - Beans added to random dishes - People add beans to dishes? I thought beans were the dish or side dish for the most part, but added? Crazy.
    - Squid in any form, other than as bait when fishing -- yep, gross
    - Sugar on top of fruit -- no sugar, but salt on some is delicious
    - Stirring in guacamole or a bunch of other stuff into a perfectly good queso dip -- you realize good queso was invented by adding stuff to melted cheese. Where do we draw the line? Chorizo in queso is splendid.
    - Cake without ice cream (this one doesn't make you sick and demented, but it does make you a tease--or just a lazy host) -- gotta offer ice cream but its not a necessity with the cake.

    I don't crave it, and I can think of plenty of better national cuisines. But, I do like:

    - fish and chips
    - roast prime rib
    - yorkshire pudding
    - chicken pot pies
    - cheddar cheese
    - chicken tikka masala
    - scones with clotted cream
    - high quality hot teas

    In London, I got some weird looks when I asked for tartar sauce.

    …and steer clear of the jellied eels.

    It's amazing how academia is accepting of Carl Jung, but dismisses off-hand almost all other supernatural concepts.
