Agreed, the boneless wings are atrocious and a complete rip-off.  Good margins for them, though.  On Tuesdays, their traditional wings are 1/2 off.  Now that's not too bad.  Get them done with Desert Heat dry rub, light dusting and get a side dipping sauce of Jerk and Asian Zing.  $$$$$$$$$

Also, their featured beer this month is Fresh Squeezed IPA, which is $4.95 for a tall after 3.  Pretty good month to be a BW customer.  

Also also, my new bartender buddy Heidi (on the left). :wub:

Houston and Portland are two of the best restaurant cities in the country. I'm confused why either of you would go eat chain chicken wings. Not judging, just curious

It's right by the train station on my way home. :shrug:

I guess I cannot judge. I actually go out of my way now and then to eat at Cheddars. In my defense its usually when taking my 90 yo parents out to eat.

Oh, I don't hold BWW food in high esteem and eat there only on occasion.  When I do, I find their 1/2 traditional wings on Tuesday to be pretty good value, considering how much they charge for mediocre food every other day.  The options for food by my office are limited and since I no longer drive to work, I'm further constrained on good grub in the vicinity.  BWW just happens to be between my office and the train platform and so you can usually find me there nursing a $4.95 tall beer, reading and waiting for the train.  

Also, 95% of the great options you speak about are downtown or on the eastside, which is nowhere near my office in boring old Tualatin.

That's where I live. I'll mail you some food

Yeah, you are in the mecca for dining options.  With 5 kids, the only place we ever go as a family is Pizzicato, which is great because everybody gets a slice of something they like, it's quick and easy to get in and out, great beer selection/wine selection and if the younger kids want to get up and wander, it's not a big deal.  Very laid back.  

Once in a blue moon, wife and I will get take-out from this place.  Best Korean food in the city, IMO. 

 
What I like is culturally diverse areas where different nationalities sell exotic or unconventional food at bargain prices. Austin has a slew of great restaurants if you want to spring 70-100 bucks for dinner for two and a couple drinks. I like the (insert national heritage here) mom and pop where I can do the same for 25-40

My biggest regret is leaving downtown Portland right before the food truck craze took off.  As a trade off at eating at our desks, my last boss paid for every lunch.  I would weigh 340 pounds had I stayed, but I would have loved every experience trying all the different exotic options by all the different nationalities setting up a food cart.

Its easy to be here a long, long time when you take so many extended hiati
Click to expand...
Oh hey, I'm new to the notification thing. Just saw this, and yup, I'm about to take a big dose of extended hiati. I like this thread. I mostly just read it now and then. I wish I had the intelligence to only read it when I'm here. Good lord what a ####fest the rest of this board is. I'll be an unemployed single empty nester next summer. Maybe I'll find more time to be entertained here. Maybe I'll find a job.  

But there's something I've been contemplating. Death and Facebook. This is a problem. I'm the youngest of a big litter. The two eldest are hyper connected to the FB thing. So they're in constant contact with their entire life histories. Since we're unfortunately related, I get reports. I don't facebook. They call me antisocial. I thank them for the compliment. Since we're old, people keep dying. A kid who lived in my old neighborhood in the 70s passed away last year. I hadn't thought of him once since the 70s. Now I felt bad. Similar stories happened several more times and I didn't like feeling bad. I told the elders when you're old and befriend thousands on facebook, you're going to deal with constant death and that's dumb. So Val died in her sleep last week. I didn't know her but the rest of the litter sure did. She hasn't been sober since the 70s. Val never left our hometown where I too reside. So the eldest sister asked if her husband could hang at my house this weekend so he could avoid all the sadness surrounding the funeral and people he doesn't know but still be around for support. I didn't say no, but I said something, and he said screw it, he'd stay in San Diego. I'm good with that. So she asked me if she could host a thing at my house Sunday morning for the mourners who are traveling here. I didn't say no but I said something. Okay, I said the funeral is the thing and they didn't need another thing and she said screw it, she'd do it at a hotel. I'm good with that. But all of this death on Facebook is not the way it's supposed to be. I don't think I have to explain it because this is the thread for smart people, and I'm so sorry you all died, even though you haven't, just that you will. So please live with joy and mourn with sincerity, not because you're connected to too much.

Always good to hear from you and @Pigskin P. 

I hear you on FB. I never go because I barely like people as it is and if I went often, I'd soon hate everyone.

But this thread is special. Many of my favorite  relationships were created, nurtured and matured here. I'm good with that.

Same for me. I know it seems clique-ish some (most?) of the time, and I still don't have a clue what half of you are talking about a lot of the time when the :lmao:  emojis roll in and I'm :whoosh:  

But this thread - or the former edition, I guess - had something to do with me not being dead now. That's not melodramatic, just a fact.

By the way, that poor schmuck that lost the election bets is going to have to go deep-dark.

 
So I'm kind of in a fog since 11/08. Anger, depression, lethargy, sadness, a whole gamut of emotions, mostly negative. My wife, sister and many other acquaintances are much more affected. 

I figure its time to announce a coshole, to give myself and anyone else who is interested something to look forward to, something to live for.

My current Galveston tenant's lease expires Feb 1. So the first week of Feb. would be a good time for me.

House can sleep two couples, two stag. Large backyard paved areas that could hold 2-3 RVs. Cheap and nice hotels from a block away to a mile away.

I'll block out a week, Wed. (2/1) to Wed. (2/8) that should give enough flexibility many of us can make it down for at least a couple of days.

Like the original, it will be Superbowl weekend (sorry Bob).

I like this. 

 
My old man was making noises that sounded like "Super Bowl tickets," but that was before the Packers showed themselves to be quite pedestrian. Probably in for coshole.

browse member list? sounds a little dirty.

didn't know about this list. is sweatpants boner man on it? it's strange- I really needed that alias to exist yesterday... I was desperately grasping at any inane straw that kept my mind off of the week's event. kept logging off and trying to log on as sbm... giddy with expectation every time. just one alias dammit.

 
btw... and I hate bringing any kind of politics in here- but I'm actually on obamacare. it's been really good for me, even if it's not perfect. we pay a third- yes 1/3- what I was forced to pay previously for essentially the same service. if this gets thrown out, I hope to #### there's something in place better than what was there previously because we're going uninsured if it comes to that.

I'm as committed to this as I get, so put me down as a 30% chance to show up at the last minute.  If there's actual fishing 40%.  But I usually go to Mexico in February, so 20%.

 
####### A...was trying to explain to the 5 year old why what Trump said was so bad (somehow he got it in his head that Trump hates woman, but since he's the white male everything is AOK) and realized I was the only one in our immediate family he knows that didn't fall into one of his "groups".  We've got an immigrant mother, a Muslim immigrant nanny, a Jewish stepfather, his best friend has two daddies, and all the women.  Fun.  Thank god I had that extra cocktail and the fridge is stock.

We can definitely fish. There's a small jetty a block from my house, several good piers, rollover pass on bolivar peninsula is legendary, and seems like everybody and his dog is a fishing guide
