I have never paid for parking at a softball event. That's crazy. And you can't leave and come back? That's ridiculous

Agreed. Paying for parking for youth sports is insanity. Not being able to come and go would be a major problem for me. This isn't the Rose Bowl. Come on.....
I take that back. Parking at this particular event is free, but they are charging $20 to get in. I'm hoping that's per family, otherwise I'm gonna lose my sh*t.
Oof, $20/person, not including the player (they go in separately with the coaches). But yeah, at $20 a pop it sounds like my son will get to stay home and have gramma come over to make him lunch :lol:

Are the Beatles performing at halftime? WTF? Where do you live so I can never go there? This is asinine.

I have a love affair with BWW that runs back to the early 90's when one of the first locations was right off U of Cincy's campus. That was just one of our places. When I lived in northern Indiana (@urbanhack hi), there were times when I'd drive 45 minutes each way just to get carry out. That was how bad I needed it at times.

I realize quality has gone way down, and the removal of Buffalo chips from their menu is one of the most egregious decisions in restaurant history, but I still get it a every couple months. Have to get well done, or take them home and put them under the broiler for a bit.

I'm printing out some articles now, going to head up to BWW, sit at the corner of the bar, drink a tall Boneyard, chit-chat with the staff or any regulars, listen to some generic restaurant music and go home a relatively happy fella.

:lol: Honestly I was totally prepared to pay the $20 for parking and woulda lived with that. But $20/person? Yes, wild.

I'm in Orange County, CA.
 
My biggest complaint with BWW is the inconsistency, even at the same location. Sometimes they will be so lightly sauced you’d think the people that flavor LaCroix were applying it, and other times it’s absolutely swimming in it to the point the wings are soggy

also agree the chips were solid but I’ve always been a fan of the wedges (dipped in a side of Thai curry)

Yeah, that's why I go with their dry-rubs (Desert Heat, Chipotle, Lemon Pepper all good) with a request to go light on the dusting and then order a crap ton of their sauces to dip my wings in. Game changer. Won't ever go back to wet wings.

Love the wedges too.

We had one of the earlier ones in Chapel Hill in the 90's. Just not a better place to watch a game on TV, and the wings were great.

At the risk of being hyperbolic, or forgetting some history, it seems like BW3 completely changed the game for sports bars.

I keep reading "BBW" in these last two pages. Really throwing me off. Maybe if I printed it out I'd read it more clearly.......

Growing up in Ohio, before I discovered BW3 in college, we had Damon's, which was a rib place with the best damn onion ring loaf of all time. To me, this was the prototypical sports bar experience. A bunch of TV's, and each table had its own speaker with a dial that you could select what game you wanted to listen to.

We had Damon's in college. They had those games where you predicted run v pass, short v deep, left v right for points during the games. Good ribs (and fries, as I recall). And, yes, a great onion loaf.
 
@General Malaise can you unpack the printing of articles? Slightly Shuked over here.

I would get to work before anyone else, about 6:30AM, and pull up a couple of articles on the ole computer on fantasy football, the Ducks, or the Lakers depending on time of year. Would print them out and take them into the stall after that first cup of coffee to read, then leave them there for others.

That was 2006. BlackBerry browser was like 2 lines at a time. No iPhone. No iPad.

Printing articles now? Shuked as you….

They had good veggie burgers too iirc
 
Last(ish) day in NYC. Think I got a mild bout of food poisoning from a restaurant in Grand Central Terminal. Also, the men’s bathroom in the main terminal smells like a sweaty sack.

Where did you go? Ft. Wayne? There's now one in town.
 
@General Malaise can you unpack the printing of articles? Slightly Shuked over here.

Our GB SFBay Duck nailed it. I have a bunch of sports writers and stock market pundits I like to read, but rather than read them on the computer, I copy/paste their articles to MSFT word, shrink down the print, reduce the margins and print it out without pictures. I like to actually read stuff on paper. I still read actual books. I have enough screen time - I need my eyes to focus away from screens. Also, I like to take notes when I read and I can't do that on a screen.

Moreover, when I sit down to read something on paper, people generally leave me alone. This gives off a 'don't bother me' vibe and I like that. I'm reading, buzz off.

I recycle everything.

One of the first places I can remember having trivia too. In high school we’d go in, watch a game, and each table had an electronic box you could use to play trivia as a team with the questions/answers/scores on one of the screens. Always a good time.

Yes. QB1 was played on the same box
 
There were two Damon's in the Portland area and I remember the novelty of having the speaker at your table with the ability to tune it to the game you wanted. Magic! Also, the one near my office had automatic doors to the men's room like the ones when you go into a grocery store. What fantastic technology! More Damons!
 
You know, before we get too old and before we lose anymore of our brothers and sisters, I think we should coordinate a massive cornhole where parking doesn't cost $20 and we can get onion loafs with a flag planted on it. A place where raisins atop our salads, where the beers are hoppy or sour but ice cold and wings are hot and aplenty. Perhaps we meet where a game of football is played or maybe we organize our own football game though I think that hurt when I run through you like Derrick Henry running through tissue paper. We can sing bad karaoke and play cornhole, we can disc golf or ball golf or feed ducks. Some many opportunities!

Looks terrible
Yea. That looks gross

Really? A fried to perfection onion with some delicious dipping sauces is gross to you? I'd eat the hell out of that.
A fried to perfection onion with some delicious dipping sauces sounds awesome. That is not a fried to perfection onion though

It's the only way to eat a salad. Hold the salad.
