Did Big Red ever make frozen popsicles? I remember riding my bike to the local gas station as a kid and buying a giant red frozen popsicle, it was was huge too, like a big red bullet.

I think the wrapping was red too, with....blue text too? This was like 25 years ago, so forgive my spotty memory.

I googled this place and was like "what the gently caress why does it say i've been here two years ago" before realizing that I was there once, on a first friday, and all that happened was I was there for like a half hour and the whole time a bunch of old men roasted my lanky 20 year old rear end.

I don't remember how the burgs were but I will check them out.


How is Casa Rodriguez? Everyone I talk to hasn't been there but swears by that La Familia place on 29th and Texas at the gas station

Casa Rod is pretty mediocre IMO, but I did live on the border for a while so my opinion of the Mexican in town is pretty low in general. Also they just bombed their health and safety inspection lol. I've only been to La Familia for breakfast tacos but they're good.

He's got another term - they changed it from three 2 year terms to two 4 year terms in 2015 - but he is tremendously unpopular because he started an extremely annoying fight with the firefighters and voters are pretty racist (the white liberal part of Houston - City Council District C - voted for the Republican in 2015).

He has drawn 3 main opponents - Bill King (the guy Turner beat in 2015 in an extremely close race), Tony Buzbee (uber rich trial lawyer and Trump guy wanting to live out a local Trump fantasy where he imposes Tariffs on Dallas), Dwight Boykins (current District D Council member).

The big issue is that Boykins is a black Dem, which threatens to fracture Turner's base which may squeeze him out of the runoff.

I apologize for the foodchat, but just wanted to say that it was not a bomb pop (these are also quite wonderful). It was a large cherry ice popsicle, cylindrical with a round tip. Imagine a Bullet Bill (from Super Mario Bros.) painted red and on a stick.

It was giant and awesome. But again it's been 25 years so my apologies if I'm scrambling things.

e: oh hey, a text av, kewl

vvvvv Sadly, not the bar. It was a smooth cylinder shaped bar with a round tip. I also believe it was sold as a single packaged item in gas stations, I don't recall it being able to be purchased boxed in grocery stores vvvvv

God loving dammit. I don't know if he'd be able to pull it off since I expect a lot of the approval gap between Cornyn and Cruz is simply Cruz being much more of a camera hound, but Beto definitely would have had a much better chance at that than he does at the nomination.

Cruz’s numbers were in the toilet at the same point before his election. Nothing boosts a Republican’s poll numbers like having a Democrat running against them. Beto has no chance at the nomination, but a legitimate shot at VP, which would be good for Texas Dems.

Clyde’s Facebook page is otherwise filled with vague warnings of an upcoming attack, conspiracy theories about the U.S. government, memes from far-right internet subcultures like 4chan, and misogynist memes.

In a video posted June 9, he warned that “the storm is coming,” a phrase frequently used by anti-government internet conspiracy theorists, and said he didn’t know how much time he had left. The video ends with Clyde saying he’s “ready,” and holding up a long gun.

References to incels, or the “involuntary celibate” internet community that is prominent on extreme misogynist message boards, are frequently posted in memes on Clyde’s page.

Clyde posted a picture of a swastika on a green flag, calling it a “solution” on April 29. He also often posted anti-U.S. government conspiracy theories, including posts about secret pedophile rings and CIA experiments.
