Marc, there is no need for skank porn on our message board.

Thank you.

For those not in on the joke...there is a website where you can enter in your website name and that pic is generated for you.

headradio you might consider the Galleria area.....the Waterwall is quite cool and the overall atmosphere is excellent.

Classy.

i need some advice. i am taking my girlfriend out for valentine's day in houston (that's where she lives), but i'm not too familiar with things to do there. we are going to dinner first at an italian restaurant called crapitto's curina italiana (supposedly good), but i don't know what to do after that.

i would really appreciate it if anyone more familiar with houston than i could throw out a few ideas of cool things to do, see, etc. at night in houston (on a date). thanks.

wow, you're so cool.

after perusing the girls gone wild pictures i have determined the sample very representative of the fine women of texas a&m. to sum it up they look to be a group of rather unshapely skags. thank you, that is all.

i was browsin the web... look what i came across...

"Two, Harvard has more millionaire AND billionaire (that's with a B) alumni than any other university in the world. Three, the PUF doesn't even make up a quarter of the endowment for A&M (I don't know about UT). "

ummm... alrighty... You knock a quarter of your endowment off and that's still quite a bit.
I know harvard has a larger endowment, you don't have to prove that to me. I'm saying, take away puf and you're not near as close.

I like Lubbock.

But then again...I LOVE TO DANCE! DANCIN AND SINGIN 'BOUT APPLES AND ORANGES! Oh, Hollywood! Movies like 'The Guru' and 'Judge Dredd' make me soil my shorts! Kelly from Austin is my girlfriend! I've dated plenty of girls Mom, stop harassing me!

Seriously though, my mom always asks me if I'm dating anyone and if I'm not why am I not and she wants me to date, but when I do go on a date she bitches because I start running out of money. It's not fair Ducky. It's not fair.

Ignore the last line. Damn IM windows closing and opening all over the place.

One, A&M was established BEFORE the University of Texas, and was only an "official branch" of the UT system shortly after UT's founding and for less than a full session of the state congress. The oldest higher university in Texas is Baylor established when the state was still a Republic. Two, Harvard has more millionaire AND billionaire (that's with a B) alumni than any other university in the world. Three, the PUF doesn't even make up a quarter of the endowment for A&M (I don't know about UT). Four, the Berkeley Chancellor fought for a class that studied "male sexuality" that alloted time for orgies, class genital pornography, and trips to both gay and straight stripclubs to teach "etiquette." I wouldn't quote that dude on anything.

And nobody likes Lubbock. Get over it.

And why were you "

Dude, chill. I'm not bashing Aggie basketball. I've actually been somewhat impressed this year. I'm just slightly on the arrogant side because I was watching the game with a friend of mine who recently graduated from A&M, and he was being a prick the whole time with his comments about Rick Barnes and TJ Ford. And regardless of Bernard King's motivation (or lack thereof), he still didn't perform last night, and that's a big reason you lost. You would think a guy on the verge of setting a record like that could at least do it in style.

Kelly, I'm sorry but either you or teh Texas constitution are misinformed. The PUF fund is for A&M, PV A&M, and UT system.
There is another significantly lesser fund (TEF) for Tech, UH, etc...

http://www.uhsa.uh.edu/gov/policies/puf.html

This is from UC-Berkley's Chancellor, a UT grad: "PUF was a whipping boy of sorts during each of the three legislative sessions that I was in Austin. I actually came to see the PUF as a political handicap for UT. It was merely a substitute for state funds, allowing the state to invest less general revenue in UT and A&M; at the same time, it gets listed as an endowment that caused people everywhere, our donors among them, to think that we were, next to Harvard, the most well-endowed university in America."

You might notice a sticker that says "Texas A&M: Former Student - Century Club" There are a shitload of them everywhere in the Metroplex and that means the former student driving the car gave at least $100 to the school that year. There are higher levels like "Diamond Club" and so on.

And as for that article of the Texas Constitution, we are all aware of that. You see, we were founded first in 1876, but both schools still hate LCC equally.

No offense, but if you're gonna bash Aggie basketball, at least be educated about it.

If Bernard King was so focused on becoming the "official" conference scoring leader, then why when he was stuck on 5 points (1 shy of the record) with 7 minutes to go in the 1st half, did he not take another shot until 13 minutes to go in the 2nd half? King may have made some questionable decisions last night, but just trying to get the record and then taking the rest of the night off is such an ignorant statement its unreal.

I don't think anyone has ever denied that if not for Antoine Wright we would be screwed -- thats the way our basketball team goes... If BK or Antoine are both not hitting their shots, we won't win. We don't have the talent and the depth that UT does, and likely never will.

I worked raising money for UT at one point via calling alumni and harassing them for donations. As such, while we were being "trained" on how to perform this task, we got a huge rundown on the PUF fund and how it works. Apparently, the land was given to the UT system for expansion, blah blah blah, they found oil, blah blah blah, endowment grew to be insanely huge. However, at some point, that endowment became a source for ALL Texas public colleges and universities, not just those in the UT-System. I'm not saying that they payout is equal, or even proportional, but Tech does reap some benefit from it.

I also had to call and harass current students' parents for donations, which I hated, but it did mean a lengthy conversation with Brian Boddicker's dad, and listening to Royal Ivey's answering machine on one night.

You guys weren't doing badly at the line last night until it really counted. My information about A&M being the best FT-shooting team in the Big XII is based solely on what one of the announcers said. Looking at individual stats, it would seem that Oklahoma or Baylor would hold such a title, but whatever.

If you guys could sustain any sort of momentum, we might have been in trouble. Bernard King seemed so focused on becoming the "official" conference scoring leader that once he scored his 6 points, he took the rest of the night off. Garcia-Morales was making shots at the right moments, but was not consistent. If not for Antoine Wright, you guys would have been screwed. Oh well. Be glad you're not Baylor. They got their asses handed to them by OU in an extreme way. That was just wrong.

hmmm... this is interesting... Quote (from Texas Constitution):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SEC. 13. The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, established by an act of the Legislature, passed April 17, 1871, located in the county of Brazos, is hereby made, and constituted a branch of the University of Texas, for instruction in agriculture, the mechanic arts and the natural sciences connected therewith. And the Legislature shall, at its next session, make an appropriation, not to exceed forty thousand dollars, for the construction and completion of the buildings and improvements, and for providing the furniture necessary to put said college in immediate and successful operation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Another interesting tidbit that I've found out through research for a report...
According to UT's chancellor, everyone at UT & A&M are disillusioned, believing they have these huge endowments from their alumni. While they are above normal, the "endowment" that makes the numbers so high is that from the PUF fund (money made off of oil) that is endowed to A&M & UT. Damn, there went that argument about how great your alumni are!

We're the best FT shooting team in the conference???!!!??? Ahahaha, that is fuckig funny. We can't hit free throws to save our choads. Oh, ans rebounding is a non-skill at A&M. DAMMIT I wanted to beat t.u. but unfortunately you all have a skillful team.

There were bad calls going both ways. Wright was getting away with some cheap crap all night. It's not our fault Bernard King chose not to show up or that the best FT shooting team in the conference (yes, that would be A&M) decided to choke at the line down the stretch. Hard fought game, bad officiating on both sides, except for the dude who kept calling traveling. That was funny.

Hell of a game today. Damn shame Rick Barnes had to perform fellatio on three zebras to help pull it out.

I get to drive down 2222 everyday and see the beautiful scenery. Can't say the same for Lubbock, or any other Texas college town for that matter.

And you can't do things like drive down 2222 and enjoy the scenery in CS or Lubbock because there's nothing enjoyable to look at! Moron. Nor can you go someplace like Barton Springs.

I know quite a few students who spend time AT the Capitol--walking around inside, enjoying the nice day outside, working there, etc. It certainly doesn't just "empower" me because I'm located sixteen blocks from it.
