OT: II. Tommy G's Steak and Chop House

[glovesave_35]

I don't get it... I've loved it every time I've been to CS.

It's cool man. There are those who do and those who don't want to be indoctrinated. I hear A&M has some good grad programs, I just can't imagine wanting to do undergrad there.

 

[Elysian]

I start moving Friday, should be done by Sunday (going to a pool party here in Plano on Saturday), and I start my new job on Monday!

 

[Brand New Stars]

College Station isn't too bad. I'm a UT fan but chose A&M because a degree from there means quite a bit, and Austin has too many homeless and creepy/weird people for my liking.

I was raised an Aggie, and I want to major in meteorology, a major TU doesn't offer while A&M is a top 3 school in it.

Best of luck, Elysian! Hope it all works out.

 

[glovesave_35]

Right on LT, just giving you a hard time. It's a good school but I'll be damned if former Aggies aren't some of the most annoying people I've met.

 

[Brand New Stars]

It really is cult-like there, and I'm glad I'm not part of it.

Not all of us drink the koolaid.

Truth is I was an undergrad transfer and one of the only things about the school I knew was that they were maroon and they had a dog mascot...lol. Originally came here for the vet school but switched to human med instead. I do have to say that a degree from either A&M or UT goes a very long ways, I would say ~80% of my med school class was either from A&M or UT.

I do think the traditions were fun to participate in as an undergrad, but now I'm just over it.

You do know the story behind this joke, right...?

 

[Frozen Failure]

More like Jonestowning for Seth! Amirite?!

Pretty sure most people know.

I don't get why people still use it. I know I never would after learning that.

I know a decent number of people who take this stance. Honestly, I find it a tad dramatic.

Nobody is making light of the death of those people, merely pointing to the circumstances that led to it. You do realize that most of the people drank the koolaid willingly, right? Some people were shot up with the poison in their arm, etc. but the people who drank the koolaid mostly did so of their own volition - that's why the phrase exists. It points to a moment in history that we should all remember and be careful to not reproduce.

"Drinking the koolaid" just means buying into something somebody is telling you without really questioning it, to me anyways.

Meh, I still am not fond of it. Creeps me out for the most part, but you do have a point.

Still, even though they did take it willingly, it'd would've been forced upon them if they hadnt. And what disturbs me the most is how many children died in it.

Jonestown should sicken anyone. What's most ****ed up about it is how devoted those ******** were who took their children to South America to live on a commune with a nut.

I'm assuming then that when someone says something like "if you put a gun to my head and I had to choose..." that should really bother you right? Because in the history of the world people actually have had guns put to their head and died because of it.

Houston Bush airport is a ****hole, not happy about having to spend the night in the airport

Lol

As a whole, Houston just doesn't compare to Dallas.

 

[DaStars99]

Terminal D is unbearable, in my tour of the airport at least terminal C is better. Bubbas is pretty good airport food.

At least you weren't stuck in Atlanta. Guh, dread thinking about getting stuck in that airport.

 

[DaStars99]

Atlanta is the busiest airport in America, I'd imagine there are things to do at least

 

[DaStars99]

Also I now have to fly into Cincinnati instead of Lexington because there is nothing left. The worst part is that it is sunny here now

 

[piqued]

Where are you going?

 

[Elysian]

I had a layover in Atlanta once, stopped at a restaurant in the terminal that had Sweetwater Brewing beers on tap, they were pretty damned amazing. Worth the layover.

 

[DaStars99]

Where are you going?

Eventually Lexington KY. It's that go south to go north logic DFW to IAH to LEX now DFW to IAH to CVG and drive to LEX
