Thanks for the clarification, JC. No, I'm not talking about cavalierly blowing through a red just for fuck's sake. Duck: I don't want your sympathy. Just stay off the shoulder. That's more than enoug...

Hey Drivers: We run the red lights so we already have the shoulder when you pick up speed again. If you take off ahead of us, you won't leave us the shoulder, and we'll start off in your blind spot. ....

The other day I was riding my bike down East 6th when I was passed by a silver pickup truck speeding by blaring rock n' roll with a big American flag lashed to the back. It was driven by two tanned, y...

Maybe we could impose a moratorium on trimming and cutting down trees. We could call the anniversary of that day 'Prune-teenth.'...

I find it ironic that over-abundant pecan trees--which are life-support systems for large rat colonies--had to be cleared for another condo development....

By the way, my first and second and only pieces of advice to those who venture to work on their own houses: a. Get a digital camera. For before and after photos (meaning: before and after you take ap...

You're fucking retarded, Craig. But my desire to laugh at your foolishness wanes as I recall the many, many times I've engendered parallel situations, wifey coming home me covered in dirt and pvc pri...

Austinist, don't be fooled! "Gekco789" is not a really gekco, nor even a correctly-spelled gecko-- it's actually Jennifer Kim-- a conceit designed to make the honorable Ken Weiss seem wee-tah-did. A...
