I was kind of hoping something would really piss me off in the last two weeks and I could quit and storm out in a rage. Alas, nothing did. But NAFOOM has
paid off for all the hard hours of surfing I put into it. I actually got my new job because of this board. When I bitched about my job back in December
BeeDee told me to send me his resume. Of course I didn't, but he reminded me a month ago, a week later I was flown to SA and now I'm moving there.
Who would have thought that something useful would actually come out of the degenerate place? So, I'm off to become a "Racker" and work for a
supposedly pretty sweet company called Rackspace. It was an offer I couldn't turn down.
I'm sure everyone gives a fuck.

Whether you answer yes or no, I'm curious as to how many people on this board can attribute their current or previous employment situation to a contact made/rekindled here. |

Let me know if you need some ideas as to where to live....or more importantly where not to live. And expect to immediately gain 20 pounds. The food is
awesome. Unfortunately, all the chicks gain 20 pounds too.

that's why I credit the board. Koban The Barbarian told his wife the other night, "see, he found a job there, it's not a total waste of
time"

I lived there for a little over a year, and it is a pretty laid back town atmosphere trapped in the body of an old city. Traffic is not horrendous and there
are plenty of things to do around town. Close proximity to New Braunfels and other hill country destinations is a huge plus. The North by Northwest side of
the city is probably where you will want to live, but if you have time take a look around. There are some cool places to live around the King William area,
which is not that expensive and Alamo Heights if you can afford something around there, both of which are closer to downtown. The hot chick scene will be a
downgrade from what you are probably used to, but it is not a disaster. There are two major events, besides the Spurs that get that city really fired up, and
it is Fiesta and The Rodeo. Fiesta is kind of like their version of Mardi Gras. A week long party of sorts. The live music scene is pretty pedestrian over
there as well. They even get pretty shitty bands at their outdoor amphitheatre Go to Austin if you want to see good shows; it's less than an hour away.
Lots of good mountain biking and outdoors things to do around there, and you can drive about an hour or so west and get into some good dove hunting. Lot's
of golf courses, and a good driving range around Trinity University. There is also a rifle/skeet range in the middle of town. I always thought that was
pretty bizarre. There was also this place near the southside and King Williams that I used to go to that served cheap beer and good burgers and tacos and shit
that was mostly outdoors and they let me bring my dog. It was called La Tuna. Have fun. You'll like it.

I own red wings as well, and still wear them. I was just saying, people move to Texas and get boot fever. I'm not criticizing you owning Red Wings. I
like the shit out of mine.

are 90's.
King Ranch for play. 
Georgia Farm & Ranch for work. 
Nice. Or, how about "you're and idiot". That one works, too. And you talk about incompetent. ....IndependenceBowlMainstay defending the honor of

I just know a lot of folks who have spent a lot more on a pair of boots than I would be willing to. I've never caught on with that, but have had the urge
to. Most of them look really good if they are not overly exotic. Some are just plain ridiculous.
