ah Texans. There is a reason my brother and I would say we were from NM or CO when we went skiing. I will say that I have never had an issue with Ranger's fans at the Ballpark, unlike, say, Yankee fans at the Stadium.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Timelies!
There was recently an NPR interview with an author who was a prison librarian....
And I'm a prisoner to my late-waking habits still. I have GOT to go to sleep early one of these nights so I can get up at 6am on a regular basis.
Last night I found out my dad would have liked to go to the Rally to Restore Sanity but he didn't want to have to argue with my mom about it so he didn't try. My dad and I have locked horns on a lot of political stuff and still disagree about loads of stuff but I'm really happy that he digs The Daily Show and The Colbert Report and that he'd love to give the finger (metaphorically) to Glenn Beck.
OTOH there was this [link] the article more than the headline.
DC is going to be a fucking ZOO this weekend. There's the Rally for Sanity as well as Howard University's Homecoming. A ZOO!!
Why do you hate America, Juliana?
Because I grew up seeing Russia from my house. Da, comrade!!
msbelle, I don't even know if they were Texans! If they were, the few who condescended to speak to me worked hard to drop any trace of the accent. (Which, between Big Oil and SPN, I'm pretty sensitive to.)

At least it will be a sane zoo....
I am really surprised at this statistic. Yeah, that's on the lips.
I wonder what the corresponding American number is.
My friend who was profiled did have some rude kids/parents a few games back. His season tickets are two seats together. Another friend had 2 tickets, but elsewhere. There was a kid sitting in his girlfriend's seat, but all was ok because she just sat with the other friend. They were horsing around and spilled their drinks all over the woman in front of them, spit on the ground etc. So Ryan said something to them, and as Ryan and crew were leaving one of their mothers started yelling at him about sitting in her kid's seat and being mean/screaming at him.

Ha! I knew what stat you meant before even clicking. Sustained even!
From the article:
One student who had never kissed another lad joked with the researchers that when he told his friends about the study, they'd probably ensure that his classification changed. That night, Anderson received a text from the student reading, "I'm in the majority now."
Awwww!
