I can clearly remember getting close to the tv to watch the rockets when they were in the tiny picture in picture box. And I was pimping a 25” color tv.
Was at Tortillas on Nasa Road One when OJ went for his ride. Got pissed off and went outside to listen to Gene Peterson on the AM.
I remember my father getting irate when the Rockets game was in the corner of the screen....... He got angry and threw his ashtray at the wall and said "******* OJ, piece of ****. Earl was better than you and now I cannot see the game." Without missing a beat my mother went and turned the radio on so my father could listen to the game. My father still hasn't entirely gotten over it.
This reminded me of the Bill Burr stand up with his dad gets mad at the kids and throws his dinner plate and his mom just immediately, without saying a word, just goes and cleans it up.
My dad has a way of charming people (including my mom). He gets away with appalling behavior. He used to get her to cook him a different meal if he wasn’t in the mood for what she made. He would drive his immaculate car into the driveway after work and roll down his window... bust open the beer he stopped on the way home for, chain smoke and listen to the Rockets or Astros on the radio.
Tortillas. That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.... was that where Villa Capri is? On the water.
It was some bar on West Gray...pool tables in the back but we're all sitting up at the bar...and then it goes to AAAAHHHHH....freeway chase. It was bad from there, nobody was happy, so we went outside and got high, and came back in, and there's still a ****ing Ford Bronco driving around.
that's their obvious target competition based on the video of course, it's the frat boy / sorority market that will buy it
Pretty impressive, but still too much plastic for my taste. Then again, that's the norm nowadays. I see they mounted the mirrors on the body, which jeep still hasn't figured out.
