[Tiger Fan]

I eat dinner when I wake up [\evilgrin]

 

[commisholio]

Whoa

 

[mr. furley]

I have walked past this Dutch pancake place the last 3 days. I am thinking today is the day.

these are not the pancakes you're looking for

I disagree.

trust me on this one

You have no clue on this subject. Kindly move along.

they don't even give you maple syrup in countrypancakes in Amsterdam <> pancakes in Cedar Rapids

This might as well be written in Aramaic. I have no idea what you're saying here.

we're talking pancakes. do i need to call shuke in as an expert witness to define 'pancake'?

I disagree.

trust me on this one

I fail to see a problem.

Part of the problem is the poor representation of what a dutch pancake can be.

hardly the classic pancake most Americans knowthat's more of an elephant ear even

 

[Mr. Pickles]

real maple syrup.

Absolutely critical, IMO.

I'll admit, I still buy the imitation stuff at the store. If you buy real, is it all pretty much the same? Any brands I should be looking for?

I bought some Walmart "Great Value" real maple syrup. Tasted the same to me.

Who's talking about the "classic" pancake?

 

[Bogart]

All this talk of pancakes makes me want some for dinner. The family is hundreds of miles away, I can probably make that happen.

What a waste. You live in Dallas, right? Man...you are spoiled with great restaurant choices. I would kill for some Dallas Tex-Mex.

 

[JbizzleMan]

There's a place out here in Socal called Jinky's. They have awesome pancakes. They even make a Red Velvet pancake. ###### I want one this weekend! DAMN YOU CARMAGEDDON!!!!

 

[mr. furley]

dumb or cool?

saw this drive my house a few days ago. I like the idea of drinking beer while cruising down the street, but not sure i'm interested in peddling the entire time.

$4.56 a gallon? Ouch.

and here i spent 30 seconds trying to find any mention of beer prices on that thing

I went to Five Star a month ago or so and saw that same f'n thing like a few blocks from your pad. I was intrigued, but it moves so slow that I'm not sure it's really worth the effort and the novelty would probably wear off quickly.

There's a SoCal food truck that serves Red Velvet pancakes. Buttermilk Truck. Heard they're awesome, follow the twitter and you might be able to find them on your side of the city.

BTW, Carmaggedon might be worse than the SuperDome during Katrina. It's gonna be hell out there. I'm gonna stockpile food and ammo, just in case. Can't wait to see a totally red SigAlert map.

ETA: better link

I can walk to a few bars from my house. I plan on spending my weekend drinking if it's as bad as they are predicting.

Wife and I went to the grocery store to stock up the house before going to Vegas. Can't legally let the kids starve. Also bought some supplies for Vegas including 6 knock-off energy drinks and a 1.75 of storebrand vodka.

LA is closing the 405 freeway this weekend between the 10 and the 101, from Friday night to Monday morning. It's the main north/south route for most of the population. It's the main way most people get to LAX from the Valley. All the traffic, which is normally a massive amount anyway, will be transferred to alternate freeways that are usually overflowing anyway. Usual traffic for the road at this time of year, on a weekend, is 500,000 vehicles, which will instead have to be detoured.

Mayor and city council have told everyone to stay put unless it's absolutely necessary to move. "Avoid" and "Stay Away" have been repeated endlessly. JetBlue is offering special flights the 30 miles from Burbank to Long Beach because it'll be impossible to get there otherwise. A 30-mile flight... I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before. City is planning for 40 mile backups to Santa Clarita.

http://la.curbed.com/archives/2011/06/9_most_doomy_official_statements_about_the_july_405_closure.php

Yesterday, Mayor Villaraigosa and nearly a dozen others, including city councilmembers, county supervisors, and reps from an alphabet soup of city and county agencies, held a briefing to tell everyone not to, under any circumstances, calm down. Here are the nine most doom and gloom quotes from officials, via the LA Times and Yaroslavsky's website:

LA City Councilmember Paul Koretz: "Avoid the area like the plague…Stay the hell away from the 405 in the middle of July."

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa: "Go on vacation."

Metrolink Board Chair Richard Katz: "Since this is Los Angeles, we think this project should probably be renamed 'The Nightmare on the 405'."

Caltrans District 7 Director Michael Miles: It's going to back up probably all the way to San Bernardino County…It's just going to make a mess…You need to stay away.

Villaraigosa: "There's gridlock on the 405 virtually any time of the day, but particularly during the rush hour, and if you think it's bad now, let me just make something absolutely clear: On July 16 and 17, it will be an absolute nightmare."



County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky: "Stay the heck out of here."

Yaroslavsky: "Not one [shortcut] is going to work."

LA City Councilmember Bill Rosendahl: "They used all the words, there's nothing more left to say…I've got no hyperbole other than, folks, just grab your calendar and put an X on 15, 16 and 17 and don't come to this side of town to get over the hill one way or the other."

Miles: "Barbecue would be good that weekend."

looked to me like everybody was expected to contribute, but I'm sure you could just be lazy and let your legs hang there doing nothing.

Lenny Kravitz played at that gala thing last night. That was pretty rad. Food sucked though and it was a cash bar. So I just grabbed a client every time I needed drink and put two drinks on the corporate card. Smooth.

Off to the Harry Potter sneak preview. I'm going to make sure to inscrutably study every little minute detail so I can ##### about how they screwed up the books tomorrow, because I'm insane like Mario Kart.

Kravitz has to be a Top-5 worst rock lyricist ever, right?

I stopped getting that paper years ago. I'm going 'no news' for new.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Woke up with a nice little gift from God this morning....My very first hemorrhoid. A bulbous, blood-filled beauty with a head on it, located just inside my anal cavity.Thoughts & prayers please.

What does one do to avoid this? I eat a lot of granola bars and salad, that helps right?

No, I can assure you it doesn't.

I just read the opposite. If you have had any success shrinking or eliminating the little suckers, please share some tips.

Preparation H (The ointment, not the cream) is your friend.

Ask timscrotch. That guy's had his head up his ### for years.

I make classic pancakes for Mr. YSR about 3-4x/month.

GMs thread about pancakes.

 

[commisholio]

Count me as one who doesn't really care about regular pancakes. If I'm going to get something served with syrup at breakfast, I'll have waffles or french toast or cornmeal pancakes.

 

[Gadzooks]

I'm trying to get my head around this one...

You went to Cracker Barrel yesterday for breakfast? Do you normally eat breakfast at Cracker Barrel during the week? Is this on a business trip?

I had to drive to Lexington yesterday morning. On the way back, I stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch, but ordered breakfast. I know, ####ing crazy, right?

You're doing this now?

Doing what now?

You know...that thing teenage girls do?

That thing your boyfriend likes? I seriously have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm kind of an adult and I'm fan of pancakes and Cracker Barrel.

 

[Gadzooks]

For a second I thought my worlds might be colliding. After becoming soul-mates friends with Mrs. BSR on FB, I noticed she has a "friend" with the same name as my cousin. Luckily my investigation has proven that it is 2 different people.

Two firsts for me today:

#1 I was rubbed down by a cute black chick. Oh good night, it's true, I'm never going back.

#2 It took 40+ years but I finally have a son that likes playing baseball with me in the backyard. He actually asked me. I feel like a wet noodle but it was awesome.

 

[jplvr]

Is shuke a regular contributor here now

Who posted in: GM's thread about nothingjplvr 683 shuke 627 I'm the dumb one around here?

or is this just pre-MH excitement?

And this better be mother ####ing shtick.

lol. I am not smart enough to know how to find that quickly, although you weren't posting in here when I was regularly.-fish-... probably right.

that is fan-freaking-tastic.My 4yo has recently been not only asking me to kick a ball around with him (yes, I'm a soccer player and yeah- I had the exact same weak-in-the-knees reaction when he did for the first time), but also wanting to watch soccer on TV with me too- "I want to be a couple of dudes watching soccer". Who am I to say no? He's a total richard most of the time, but this makes me forgive him for everything.

Dylan is 4 too. He got a trophy for playing this year and brings it every where. Thinks he's the cat's meow. (Batman Guy Voice) Meanwhile, Cal was trying to impress me with his invention of how to turn Dylan's regular bike into an exercise back by putting the training wheel on the concrete drainage thing. pic His plan is to open an exercise clinic. He was even coaching Dylan after we got done to "keep pushing!". Oh yeah, he also had an imaginary green screen that he programmed from his play computer in front of the bike. I asked what was on and he replied "The Weather Channel".
