  • Alumni 10 years ago on 27 Things That Will Happen When You Move To Austin

    1) Torchys is better, duh.

    2) Being a local, pretty funny observation about Lady Bird Lake. But it’s a river. We just call it a lake. I think.

    3) Kind of upset there’s no mention of any BBQ and how it’s superior to the Midwest’s.

    4) Seriously, just wait for SXSW.

    5) You probably shoulda moved to Dallas. Or Houston. I hear San Antonio’s nice, too.

  • Alumni 10 years ago on When Your Favorite Professional Sports Team Completely Shits The Bed

    As a Cowboys fan I couldn’t be happier with the way the Texans season has ended up. It’s literally karma from you unruly bunch of fans being as big of assholes as the city itself. And if you guys put your trust in Dwight Howard the same will be the case for the Rockets. Dude is a disease.

    …and we all know how bad the ‘Stros are, so I won’t stick my finger in that wound.

  • Alumni 11 years ago on Postgrad Advice No One Else Has The Balls To Give You

    I’m not necessarily #TeamBacon (or #TeamRob, or, whatever). But this might not only be your finest work, Mr. Fox, it might be the greatest piece of literature to grace the columns of a Grandex page.

    Bravo, sir. Good on ya.

  • Alumni 11 years ago on 5 Easily Spottable Douchebags At The Bar

    I would argue that guy that wore ironic white guy basketball jersey’s to bars in college, probably still wears them to bars after college. I respect it. Gotta feel young somehow.

  • Alumni 11 years ago on 10 Games To Play With A Drink In Your Hand

    Not really defending hacky-sack or hacky-sackers, but it does require a bit of skill to be decent at it. Essentially, it was derived from the act of juggling a soccer ball, which if you don’t play soccer is really fucking hard.

    But frisbee just makes me think of disc golf. Don’t get me wrong, it can be a fun activity and a great summer-time drinking opportunity, but god I hate disc-golfers. They think it’s a real sport. Seriously. There are pro disc-golf circuits. It’s horrifying.

    And I really hope your free-range pot brownie comment was sarcasm. Even if it was, it makes you sound like an idiot.

  • Alumni 11 years ago on How's "It" Going?

    This was a decent column.

    The part about sending links of jobs and SnapChats to your other unemployed friends is spot on.

    And that Charlie Kelly meme is the best thing on the internet. Charlie understands the struggle.

  • Alumni 11 years ago on The Five-Minutes-Or-It's-Free Sandwich Dilemma

    Randall’s?

    Maybe if you’d go to the Thundercloud literally down the street, you wouldn’t complain about the quality or timeliness of your sandwich. Classic tenderfoot mistake, Rob.

    Now, relating to the story…

    Sounds legit.

  • Alumni 11 years ago on Major League Baseball Bores Me To Tears

    I always enjoyed soccer over baseball, both playing and spectactating, becuase of one simple reason:

    Innings are the stupidest invention in the modern day sports world. Sure, soccer can be boring. I paid $50 for tickets on top of $10 beers to watch USA tie Canada 0-0. Needless to say, I was furious.

    But 4 hours to watch a baseball game that ends in a score of 4-5? I would drink my self into a boredom induced coma before a walk-off homer in the 9th inning ever happened.

    And in case you were wondering, soccer girls are MUCH more attractive than softball players/cleat chasers. It’s a fact.
