Synova said...: Oh, freaky. "Man-like-object" indeed. Ack.; 4/6/07, 10:22 PM

Pic 2: My best guess is Cracker Barrel.

Vid: Mine won't load all the way, all I can see is about 3 seconds, but it looks like a wax museum.; 4/6/07, 10:24 PM
Tom Elia said...: I don't know what the first one is, but you got some barbeque for lunch (at Ruby's on 29th?), and that last one is taken at the LBJ Presidential Museum.; 4/6/07, 10:25 PM
hdhouse said...: Is the top one Jessica Vilanti? Just a guess.; 4/6/07, 10:29 PM
Simon said...: LMAO @ HDH's 10:29 PM. If only the whole thing could be solved with bug spray.; 4/6/07, 10:52 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Is the video not working? (I'm having trouble with it.); 4/6/07, 10:57 PM
Simon said...: Video works fine here.; 4/6/07, 11:10 PM
Peter Hoh said...: Oh, yeah. LBJ makes a whole lot more sense than Will Rogers.; 4/7/07, 12:01 AM
PeterP said...: If #2 is, as appears, a plate of industrial strength beans then I have no desire to reflect where it would have led you.

I know where it would have taken me.; 4/7/07, 2:16 AM

2. Lunch at Threadgills

3.Animatronic someone....my video won't load...; 4/7/07, 7:30 AM

Next time, try to get in a visit to the Humanities Research Center on the UT campus. There are some amazing things tucked away there: the first photograph, manuscripts, original music scores... This place is a little-known jewel. See:

Maybe you can file this under "Reasons to Return."; 4/7/07, 9:00 AM
Will said...: You went to lunch at the salt lick. I moved to south austin to get closer to it.; 4/7/07, 9:28 AM
Bissage said...: Seems to me the first photo is a rock of some kind.; 4/7/07, 11:02 AM

Ann Althouse said...: Donut's right. It's the famous Salt Lick.

And that's just a fly that landed in my cappucino.

And the animatronic LBJ at the LBJ Library.; 4/8/07, 2:04 AM
Unknown said...: 1 answer is all that's needed: who gives a fuck?

Anyone who expended the energy to answer the question, that's who. And that would of course include you, dave™©.; 4/8/07, 10:09 PM
Unknown said...: Well, since I'm moving to Georgtown TX (indeed I'm already here) I will have to settle for more Rudy's (and Duke's) and less Salt Lick.; 4/8/07, 10:10 PM
