I'm doing a taco tour with a food blogger in LA tomorrow. We're meeting at Yuca's around 2. Da Raiders, do you have a taco dive to suggest? We've done this before and usually do three or four. We've been working on this list, but not exclusively.

Carnitas michoacan just north of downtown. Really really good. Down and dirty in the hood, but it's the real deal.

Gracias, just a couple exits south of where we're starting.

Dinner was at Sambar tonight. Domo tomorrow. Thoughts?

The Rock Sugar thing was coincidental. I'm mostly a taco and burger kind of LA eater. I don't know anything about Domo but the address and food type because I googled it. Italian in Beverly Hills, probably outstanding. If I was from out of town and wanting a good dining experience in Beverly Hills, I'd consider Craig's. I was there a couple months ago. The film industry vibe is a hoot. It was "the place to be seen" four five years ago and some might curse the recommendation, but it was a good time, great energy, food was great, wine way overpriced. But Domo is probably excellent.

Super mediocre, sadly. Sambar was good, but Rock Sugar destroyed them both.

What internet speed you dudes rocking? Upgraded to 20 Mbps and feel like I've been hurtled into the future.

75 at last check. Supposed to hit 100, but I haven't seen that.

This showed up on my Facebook timeline. I wish I was the pied piper of poop:

"I've been walking dogs for 14 years now. Im the Pied Piper of dogs. I can walk five dogs in one hand, and five dogs in the other hand, and I can tell you which one needs to poop."

I'm starting at that dogwalker right now. And a gaggle of nannies posing strollers who are basically the same. On Park Ave and 81st... ground zero of land where people have children and pets they hire others to care for.

 

[El Floppo]

But 4yo floppinha hasn't pooped in a week, so maybe I need to hire a pied piper or four.

Pied Piper of Poop would be a great name for an alias

Apparently I buried the lede as this is how he became the Pied Piper:

“I was a maître d’ at a restaurant for thirteen years. But one week I got a really bad case of pneumonia that put me in the hospital. While I was lying in that hospital bed, I was thinking about how I really didn’t want to go back to work. Then that motivational speaker came on TV. You know-- the one that has all those teeth in his mouth. And he said: ‘Think back to what made you happy when you were young! That’s what you should be doing!’ Well I grew up in the country..., and I always had a lot of dogs, so I thought that nothing would make me happier than to be a dog walker. But I knew I needed to distinguish myself. So I decided to make a uniform. I smoked a joint and came up with this outfit. I wanted people to look at me and think: ‘If this man is walking our dog, and there’s some sort of major disaster, he’s going to survive. He’s going to fish for those dogs. He’s going to build a bunker and shelter those dogs until it’s safe to bring them home.’ After I finished the design, I got four of my friends to wear the uniform, and we borrowed all the neighbors’ dogs, and we walked them down 5th avenue while handing out business cards. I got five customers that first day.”

I know it is a frustrating career, but I don't think I would give up on architecture just yet.

My sister is a weirdo. When my Dad and I were helping her move we found a bunch of "toys" and "books" that were NSFW. There was something that looked like a bear trap, not sure where that even would go. Homer? You know?

S&M ...called the "snapper" - guys only get to use it once so she likely had a stream of them.

That explains all the racquetballs.

I've been having this pain/discomfort in my abdomen for about a week now. I went to the doc yesterday. They took some blood and a urine sample, and scheduled me for a CT scan this morning.

So, the doc's secretary just called and said they want to meet with me in the next few days to do an ultra-sound and to discuss removing my gall bladder. I was like "wait, hold on.....what?". "You'll need to talk to the doctor. Oh, and we'll schedule a meeting with the surgeon Monday. I'll call you back with a time".

What the hell? Anyone here have experience with a gall bladder removal?

My wife's basically stopped working, thus causing her some discomfort. With her, if I remember correctly, they gave her some dye and did a scan on its functionality. Might have been a simple ultrasound. That's how they figured out it wasn't really doing anything

My wife had hers removed 10yrs ago. She had gall stones and one of them was the size of a quarter and lodged in her bile duct. She went to the emergency room, was admitted, and had the surgery the following morning, was released that afternoon. I think she was admitted because of the one that was lodged would have given her serious pain and they could give her better drugs via IV.

Her only issue was the initial pain that caused her to go to the emergency room.

@ GMTAN dads

Documentary series (12 short parts) by Hank Azaria on being a father:

http://mom.me/fatherhood/

I am not a children kind of person, OK? I don't really like kids, I don't gravitate toward them, they make me nervous when I'm around them. I didn't particularly like myself as a child. I feel about kids the way I feel about most people. Which is most of them are annoying. Children are no exception, they're just like annoying short people.

Uruk>the gallbladder serves as handy storage for the bile manufactured by your liver. You can do without it, though you should take it easy on the spicy or fatty food for a while.

Wife had hers taken out after kid #2, she had gall stones. It was out patient. They just blow up your chest like a balloon, laproscopic surgery. All 3 of our kids were C section, so combined with the small scars from the holes for removing the gall bladder my wife has a smiley face on her stomach.

Thanks, guys. They just called me back and I have the ultra-sound Monday a.m. ("the doctor said the gall bladder looked angry"). They also need to take more blood because my sample evidently clotted and they couldn't get a white cell read. They did mention to stay off of the fatty foods.

I put a little dab of that sauce on my tongue and it felt like somebody shot a laser beam through it. Just insanely hot.

Mick is a 'streaker', meaning he's run something like 30,292 days in a row. He won't stop at anything, including his vasectomy. He promised his wife and doctor he would NOT run the day he got it. He assured them. His wife didn't believe him, so she took all his running shoes to work with her and left him on the couch. Dumb son of a ditch waited until she was gone, borrowed a pair of his neighbor's shoes and went for a run. He says that one was a bit painful.

I had my gall bladder removed when I was in my 20's. According to a doctor on a recent visit, apparently the surgery was performed by a homeless person with a rusty spoon.
