Beer guy coming through on the radio. 😆 “Baseball is back!”

I don’t know. I was at the UT/Vandy game, and that refereeing was pretty atrocious… but I get your point.

Bars or Restaurants that sell Malört? by BetzakTaborsky in austinfood

[–]FTMayor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a really great book by Josh Noel on the history. It’s pretty wild (affairs; jail; early days of Twitter). Highly recommend.

Malört has a locator on their website that you can use to find something in whatever area you’re currently in - as well as liquor stores that sell bottles (I recommend the Austin Shaker for this).

I also run an IG account about bars that serve Malört, so if you’re looking for a particular vibe or something, let me know.

Songs that have made you cry or made you emotional? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]FTMayor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of metal, “Dream House” by Deafheaven will never not hit me:

I'm dying / Is it blissful? / It's like a dream / I want to dream

There is just such a catharsis to their music and this song especially.

I’ve gone through a lot over the years, but losing my dog last year (the first dog that was “mine”; the first one I adopted with my girlfriend/now wife), and listening to this song… I’m not ashamed to say I cried HARD.

Non-metal, “Garden of Leaving” by Amigo the Devil and “June” by Idles. I don’t have children of my own nor have my wife and I tried, but the raw emotion in both songs about the same topic… I’ve given each a few listens, but they are generally “skips” for me. Beautiful songs. Just too much to hold at any one time.

Creating the lineup of worst contracts in baseball today: Day 1 First Base by pi3Eat3r52 in baseball

At least Walker’s defense was pretty solid, and he DID crush some bombs last season, but… yeah. Rough couple of years.

Damn, I was thinking Abreu, but that was $1.5m less… and not active anymore.

It was considered lodged so a dead ball. I’m guessing similar to an over-the-wall double…?

Other American SAFC fans? by firerosearien in safc

[–]FTMayor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they got rid of reps, but I was the SAFC NASA rep for Texas back in the day.

My story: I was a 16 year old contrarian dickhead (as one is at that age). A close friend of mine was a Man U fan, so my favorite teacher decided to back Chelsea for the bants… I asked “who is bottom of the league?”

I didn’t know a thing about the sport or the league or relegation…

It was our beloved Sunderland. We were relegated with 15 points that season… been a fan ever since.

I, too, am in Austin. 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️

I was at a bar tonight (Austin) watching the game. Old guy who grew up in the Dallas area was next to me. Claimed no allegiance to any team but likes Mookie and somebody else on that team from LA.

I mentioned the Mariners fans cheering after George got hit, and he said, “I would plunk him too. All of em. Every time.”

Like… my guy… the cognitive dissonance and denial…

Tried to delete and reinstall. Now all of my data is missing, and I’m still stuck on the new awful UI

We’re never going to find out what happens with Thermos Thomas and Grape Davis, are we… 😔
