Is Houston entirely within Harris County, or could there be a lil bit of it in an adjoining county? Okay - that took 10 seconds to google "Harris County Texas" and look at the google map on the search results page that covers everything inside the ring (and well outside) for me to presume that yes, Houston is entirely within Harris County.

Per houstontx.gov, the vast majority of Houston's city limits fall within Harris County, but there are small areas of the city proper within Fort Bend and Montgomery counties. Living in Houston for awhile, I suspected Fort Bend but didn't have any idea about Montgomery. Who knew? *shrug* |

Houston is just a sprawling mess which has gotten considerably more crowded recently. My commute between the northwest and northeast parts of town has increased from 40-45 minutes five years ago to roughly 80-90 minutes now (and I don't drive like a granny, lol). |

All the Thanksgiving marathons on TV are gonna suck this year. It's just lame ass channels running blocks of their lame ass shows. What the fuck happened?
I can't wait for Jeopardy tonight, rooting so hard for Colby. I love the way he rolls his eyes when he doesn't know an answer, like he's thinking "How the hell am I supposed to know that shit", he's awesome. |

I'm gonna take a wild guess on something here ... is Colby the guy who was in the middle on last night's Teacher's Week episode, who kinda looks like Michael Winslow (of Police Academy fame()? I ask because I actually saw about 2/3rd of an episode - minus sound - while eating dinner out last night and we spent most of the meal making fun of the incredible expressions on this guy's face ... no doubt made funnier by the absence of any audio.

I don't see any way that any part of Montgomery County has Houston. It has some suburbs like Conroe or The Woodlands but not any of the city proper that I can tell. You will still be in traffic on 45 up to at least Conroe but that doesn't make it part of Houston. SI

That's the guy. Had on a suit that looked to be about 3 sizes too big, especially in the shoulders. And when he got the answer right he had this "that was easy" eye roll. He was flat out the funniest contestant I've ever seen on the show. I think at one point when the guy on his left got a daily double he said something to him which had the woman on his right laughing. Granted it's the teachers show, so it's more relaxed, but he made the whole thing a riot. |

Seriously... when I saw this on the news and they said "young man" with the camera shot on his accuser, I thought "HOLY FUCK, THAT IS A MAN!" I hope for his sake that this is a seriously screwed up guy trying to extort money from him by lying about when they were involved. I wonder if Sesame Street's producers are now realizing how bad an idea it is to invest so heavily in one product. |

Two of the last three times I've eaten crab, I've had violent, acute, painful diarrhea the next day. Today was awful...just awful.
The good news is, it seems to be a once-and-done kind of thing. I spent half of my childhood in Maryland eating steamed Blue Crab a dozen times every year, and I've never had any kind of reaction to shellfish before. Maybe my local Safeway just sucks at keeping fresh crab...fresh?

I really don't like eating crab. Crab meat is tasty enough, but after the first crab or two, the effort needed to actually get at the tasty meat far outweighs any desire I have for the stuff. Not to mention all of the odd stuff that doesn't look good to eat or I'm not sure I should be eating or any of that. Too much work for too little reward.

I have to agree with you, but only specifically regarding Maryland Blue Crab. Dungeness Crab (here near San Francisco) is about 4x larger than Blue Crab, and thus the meat is much easier to extract from said crustacean. If you get yourself a nice 2 lb crab, fresh, pre-cracked and cleaned...it's really hard to beat. Especially if it's Dungeness season, it was that morning's catch, and it's selling for $3.99/lb.

Fast forward to this past weekend. Went back to Six Flags for Holiday in the Park with my cousin, his wife, and their 6 year old boy. He rode the Shock Wave last time. We massively upped the degree of difficulty by going on the Dive Bomber Alley SkyCoaster. This is the ride where they strap you into a hang-gliding suit, hook you up to a cable, haul you 150 feet into the air, where you then pull a cord and free-fall and swing back and forth. Me, my cousin and his 6 year old rode it. The video is hilarious. My cousin looks like he is praying, while his son is looking around and waving back to mom as we are getting hauled up. As we get higher, my cousin looks more worried, but the little one stays calm and composed. My cousin had to pull the cord to free us once we got to the top. His son started saying "I'm flying!". It was awesome. His son wanted to ride it again right afterward.

Looking up what to wear to a fashion show is proving slightly aggravating. It's almost all for women. Not much in the way of suggestions for men.

Did you just get out of prison? Anyhoo, to the topic at hand. The Old Gold & Black message boards (Wake Forest, for you Philistines out there) sure are a rough and tumble place. Recently I was told to "go die in a fire." As a man who holds a doctorate in Bathtub Fire Prevention, I didn't find this very amusing ...

I would really like us to retire the cliche "perfect storm" as it's rarely even a very good storm. Most of the time, it's used to obfuscate a simple situation and make it more opaque as the storm is typically a lot of preventable crap that needs a convenient excuse as to why it wasn't done.
