All things unique to Austin

The mixed outcome of Texas politics

Posted on November 8, 2023 by Steve

No major offices up for grabs in Texas, just the usual bamboozling of the public via props since the legislature doesn’t want their fingerprints on such regressive moves. For a bunch of assholes who point the finger at California on … Continue reading →

First a toll lane on MoPac, soon this…

Posted on October 24, 2023 by Steve

You see, most Austin BMW owners bought this upgrade for their cars. It’s quite expensive and explains why most drive the models that don’t come with working turn signals.

By the Power of Propane!

Posted on October 23, 2023 by Steve

I tell ya whut! Castle Greyskull is completely powered and heated by clean burnin’, energy efficient Propane. It is abundant in Arternia too. Now if you excuse me, I need to get back to defeatin’ my mortal enemy…no not Skeletor, … Continue reading →

Shame on Texas’ politicians…if they still feel it

Posted on October 13, 2023 by Steve

I would love to waste some time being on a debate show so I can point out how fucking stupid pundits and “journalists” are. I’m not necessarily smarter or the type who does their own research, believe me, I have … Continue reading →

Abbott calls third session to destroy education

Posted on October 9, 2023 by Steve

It’s the same old story in every state with the Republicans and shitty Democrats. The bait-and-switch plan to destroy public education, yet it’s in the Texas constitution somewhere. With our crooked and inept AG ‘acquitted’ for his ham-fisted behavior, because … Continue reading →

1993: Dazed n’ Confused debuts

Posted on September 24, 2023 by Steve

I think this movie was supposed to make Richard Linklater a big deal but it tanked. For me it doesn’t help that its legacy was launching the overrated, insufferable self-proclaimed favorite son of Austin…Matthew McConaughey. Contrary to the myth, he … Continue reading →

Houston Shock Jock Moby died 9/12/23

Posted on September 21, 2023 by Steve

Moby wasn’t as famous as the other equally boring, homophobic and tedious shock jocks who pollute FM radio nowadays…as FM radio dies. I know his schtick pre-dates Howard Stern, the king of loving his own voice, but was definitely after … Continue reading →

…and Texas once again proves it’s still 1860 here

Posted on September 16, 2023 by Steve

Despite overwhelming evidence that AG Ken Paxton is a guilty piece of crap who abused his office to protect a political donor, the Texas Senate, dominated by MAGA Republicans, acquitted this shit bird on every count. Equally evil Lt. Gov. … Continue reading →

Google Fiber’s first hiccup and it wasn’t their fault

Posted on September 13, 2023 by Steve

I made the shift last month and have never looked back after 20-plus years of enduring AT&T. It was perfect until Monday night when it went down while I was watching TV. I let it be because it was getting … Continue reading →

Busy day with my car

Posted on September 12, 2023 by Steve

Scheduled this whole day which is probably why Mr. Cook said, oh, I’ll do my annual Fall announcements then! No, I had no clue when he chooses those dates, nor the products, it’s life in a call center, you’re the … Continue reading →

Twenty-two years at the same address!

Posted on September 4, 2023 by Steve

And it’s not a PO Box! Could it be that the Maggi Curse is cured with this branch of my family? I’ve stayed in one place this long, my ‘rents at 31 (relatively) and my brother about I think at … Continue reading →

Welcome September, Austin’s last full month of Summer!

Posted on September 1, 2023 by Steve

Where I grew up for 14 years, this would be August since we have a politically incorrect, non-woke season called Indian Summer which I figure is now called, Indigenous or Native American Summer. I would be okay with it being renamed … Continue reading →

The hottest ticket/show in Austin right now

Posted on August 24, 2023 by Steve

I’m not sure if this is receiving much national attention. Probably not, a different shit bird with even more legal problems is sucking up all the Oxygen. Fear not, Paxton was the AG candidate endorsed by Girth Vader after JEB’s … Continue reading →

RIP Johnny Hardwick

Posted on August 10, 2023 by Steve

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Stupid Twitter got me again. I saw the tag on the right hoping it was good news about the upcoming King of the Hill revival but no, it was the sad news on how Johnny … Continue reading →

Fired AT&T today

Posted on July 26, 2023 by Steve

Last month I upgraded to their fiber because I trusted them not to lie, but they did. My bill didn’t come down very much, four bucks. The real kicker is their fiber product not even being close to their landlines. … Continue reading →
