    Somehow my wife and kids are not impressed when I play EVERY SINGLE DRUM FILL from Tom Sawyer on the steering wheel whenever it comes on the radio.

    Sure, they've seen it a million times and we've come close to getting in several accidents in the middle of the solo but we've never actually been in one, so just listen and enjoy!

    Parking, street, & highway lines that are virtually invisible. Freshly painted lines that fade into nothingness within months.

    What paint does Texas use for highways?

    New drinking game: any time you watch a game that involves Aaron Rodgers, drink every time they randomly show him on the sideline. You'll be passed out by halftime.

    On Rockets broadcasts, I hate when they show split-screen ads during free throws where the ad is bigger than the game. **** that...

    There doing that more and more, I really notice it when I watch something like The Masters...........what's the point, I can't hear the golf commentators and the ad is larger than the golf picture. Do one or the other but doing both is a fail

    Semi related, but I always hate it when there's clearly going to be a breakaway dunk (after a steal, etc.) and right before the dunk, they switch to the camera under the basket which is a horrible angle for a dunk. National broadcasts do this all the time.

    *San Marcus* vs San Marcos

    Pe-cahn vs Pee-can

    Don't get me started on the Pedernales River, or Bexar/Gruene/Boerne, ...or just ask someone else how to pronounce it all incorrectly

    Bunting to get a man to third and giving up a free out with zero outs.

    I find this stupid strategy archaic and highly ****ing annoying.

    The lamp I just recently bought for my ancient HDTV blew and the TV went out. I had to put the old lamp back in to my chagrin meaning dim picture. A replacement lamp is on the way. But, I believe these lamps have been overstocked and collecting dust for 20 years! So, instead of 6000 lamp hours you are supposed to get, you get only 60! I’m just lucky it failed within the 30 days. The system is rigged. I demand an investigation into the practice of selling old stockpiled lamps from some nuclear bunker somewhere leading to premature failures of said lamps! If this next new lamp fails again, then we are in crisis! Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!
