the only big chain type place that seems to serve the whole wing is Hooters and their wings are pure garbage.

nobody wants to eat that monstrosity.

Only things i ever get there are the grouper sandwich or the bucket of steamed shellfish. I forget if it was clans or oysters its been at least 5 years

Eating shellfish at a place Hooters sounds like a grand idea.

Good luck

 

[cosjobs]

Cos - good luck w the negotiation and the new place. I think that neighborhood is a great place. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of #######s there, though. With 100 Californians a day coming to town, we are teeming with #######s.

I'm a liberal so i prefer Ca #######s to the Tx species

how'd my kid stack up on the annoying scale?

1. She's a treasure. If all kids were like her I'd not have my prejudices. I blame her mother. Expect a package today. Not kid-friendly.

I hope whichever option is best for you happens. And that all your enemies get the other option.

Thanks. I'd prefer to continue to be paid

Good Luck.

GL cos. Tell us about the new place! Not the 70s porn house, I guess?

Is in a golf club community, but it is in south austin and has the largest percentage of nonasshol residents of any in Texas. I hate golf but it make for a nice area and helps prop up property values. It's an older semiautomatic with few children, which i think. To paraphrase bukowski, i don't hate kids , i just like it better when they're not around.It has agood sized pool and is right on a wet creek that is navigable by smaller craft (canoes, kayaks, jon boats) about half the year.

There is a nice upstairs area with living room, wet bar and two bedrooms upstairs. I will put in a chair lift and send the parents up.

The creek did flood the house Halloween 2013, but it was properly remediated and remodeled and discounted. Plus, i was born and raised in a drained out swamp south of port Arthur, so that #### didn't really bother that much.

Ooooo, sounds super-nice.

Is that a sunroom below? Gorgeous!

Some might consider it that. I consider it a cat house. Cat disapproves of poodle antics so he lives outside. There are tons of coons, possums, deer, snakes and other critters that regularly come through the yard to access the creek, so i want my cat to have a safe place.

I may be alone on this hill, but but I think March Madness is one of the worst times to go to Vegas. Sure, you can bet on college hoops, and that's great...but the place is packed beyond capacity. Tables are packed, sportsbooks packed, chicken ranchs...packed.

I love many sports, so going during CFB, or baseball or NBA or any other time works just as well for me. Shoot, going during conference championship tourneys is a great time and sometimes easier to bet.

Vegas sucks when it is crowded.

Same thing goes for Super Bowl. It doesn't make a fun event better, it makes it worse.

I went for 1st weekend of March Madness once before. Agreed, it's not the best time to go. Way too many bros everywhere.

Believe me, I'm flexible. But AA was into that weekend, and krista was amenable. Final Four weekend works fine for me. I won't be flexible much longer, because I'll be booking airfare in the next 2-3 weeks. All Vegashole 2015 input is welcome.

If the Cowboys collapse after losing the leading rusher in the league, will it still be Romo's fault?

Injury probably happened by Romo handing the ball off to him with poor technique. I'm going with "yes".

 

[Frostillicus]

Maybe The Sopranos. That's supposed to be pretty good.

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I like BW3

I do too. But I understand the criticism of their food. And their beer prices. But it's clean, beers are cold, come in big glasses, lotta TVs, decent looking gals working.

An all-time favorite of mine, but has gotten pretty expensive.

Yeah, it's too expensive for a family going out, but if you are on a solo mission from god and get there at happy hour, you can eat and drink for under $15-20.

Might need to re-calibrate your baseline pricing. Poultry prices have increased 50% in the past 5 years:

http://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=chicken&months=60

I had 10 wings and two beers for $11.90 yesterday. Course, the bartender comped my food because I introduced her to a guy who has millions of LED lights and.....aw screw it, DON'T CARE, FREE FOOD FOR MILOS!

Let's be clear on one more thing before we wrap up the great holiday wing debate of 2014.

You did not receive 10 wings. You received 5 wings that had been cut in half to make 10 pieces.

5 drummies and 5 of the other ones I don't know what they're called. And to be more clear....

Sucks when some bar is too lazy to cut my wings in half for me. I don't need all that hassle, man.

Asked and answered. Cuba is one of the least appealing places I've traveled and is about 150th on the list of countries where I'd buy a house.

[General Malaise]

I went to three bars yesterday after work, two of them for board meetings. Man, if I could just develop anorexia and hire a hot PR chick who wants to bone me, I'd be the NW version of Bentely.

More skin pigment too, imo.

Well, if i get to 175, I will start visiting the tanning saloons too.

Was paying the bill at the 2nd bar last night when a female shouted out "Forrest?" from behind. I looked over at a booth where three people were sitting (one couple on one side and the female - alone - on the other). Good looking blonde and though I had no idea who it was at first and played the old "HEY! HOW ARE....YOU?" card, not having a clue who she was, I figured it out in short order. It was a gal that used to be friends with my sister before my sister kicked her to the curb and when I was going through my divorce, she and I went out to dinner a few times. Divorced herself, she was incredibly supportive at a time when I was really at my lowest. I know it sounds silly, but when are going through a divorce, you are filled with self doubt and wonder if any woman will ever want to spend time with you. Having an attractive lady across the table from me did wonders for my broken soul.

And then about a year after my divorce, this lady went full on cray cray. Loonie bin level crazy. It was really sad to see and hear about and since my sister iced her out, I never saw or heard from her again. Until last night. Her friends left as soon as I sat down (I have that effect on people) and despite the fact that I had another board meeting (General Bentley, damn nice to meet you) to attend on the other side of town, I talked to her for about 30 minutes and just....listened. Life has been pretty tough for her and so I let her know how much she meant to me when I was struggling, so anything I could ever do to help, I would.

The end.

Yay Cuban cigars

I'm scared to order them again online ever since one of my shipments got pinched in NY and I got a scary letter in the mail.

They're going to be legal again

Man, legal Cubans, legal weed, legal poker, legal gay weddings. Why do we hate Obama so much again?

Legal poker??

Watched that the other night on IFC or Sundance...it is very strange. There were commercials during the movie, but full on nudity and swearing. I thought I had lost my mind watching it. When did they start having commercials during movies AND allow nudity? Revenge of the Nerds was also playing on the other channel, same deal. Commercials, bush. I LOVE OBAMA!

What you and I have counts as hair right up to the point that we stand next to someone like bentley, and then people are like, "Damn, where'd those bald guys come from? I didn't see them here before."

Look here, Costanza. Just because I have white hair that doesn't show up on film does not mean I am bald or balding. I have ALL my hairs. I am fat, pale, ugly, weak, stupid and all kinds of unhealthy, but mother ####er, I have my hair. Do not short change me!

I'm sure you have an appropriately sized human shvantz, too, but that doesn't make it look any less pathetic when a horse walks up next to you with a desire to donkey punch that filly across the way.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Nashville is a great town

Depending on what you want to pay for a hotel you can stay within walking distance from all the bars (would need cab from airport to hotel). Note: talking about the Broadway area near predators arena

Every bar has some live music going on, so if you don't like what's playing you can just walk next door. It certainly country heavy, but you'll get some rock/pop influences as well

Highly reccomend for a nice low key weekend

That said I love me some Vegas, but if you're looking for something different I'd give it a shot

thx.

Bentley and I do not 'pork', you caveman. We make love like the ******* child of James Bond and the Dos Eckies man. And we don't always make love to women who are not our wives, but when we do, we prefer them to be hot and crazy.

Maybe we can start small: johnjohn = golddigger?

Is Rocknation = Ferris? Rock chalk...Kansas. Not sure why but they kind of seem similar.

no.nothing alike really (IMO)

Agreed. Not even remotely similar.

Both my GB and I got companion passes for Southwest, so we're looking to take our wives on a few couples trips (the 4 of us) next year for quick 2-3 day trips. Looks like we're definitely going to do Boston in the summer and we're narrowing down another one to either Nashville or Vegas.

I know enough about Vegas, but don't know anything about Nashville. We're eaters, drinkers, and like to enjoy a good night out; which I'm sure we can have in both places. Definitely want the trip to be "easy" (i.e. cab from airport and just go with the flow from there...no rental cars, easy public transport/cabs, etc.)

We love music, but none of us are country fans....so I realize I'm stereotyping here...but it is the country music capital of the world.....AMIRITE?

Any leans either way to those who have been to both?

TIA

Talked to a guy last night who lived in Nashville for a number of years. Sounds like a really fun city even if you don't love Country. Not all of it sounds like that Florida/Bama Line garbage. Some of it is actually actually good.

I enjoyed that singer Groh played with on his hbo series. Not enough to remember his name tho

Zac Brown. Grohl recorded at his Southern Ground recording studio.

The Mrs. and I are going to Nashville Jan 1st through Jan 4th for a little weekend getaway...staying at the Hilton Garden Inn @ Vanderbilt, about 2 blocks away from Music Row and walking distance to so pretty cool bars/restaurants. Will also do the Ryman tour and head downtown for Legends Corner Bar, Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, some Jack's BBQ...Also gonna try to hit up Arnold's Country Kitchen (it was on Diners Dive In and Dives) and Peg Leg Porker's BBQ (it was on BBQ Pitmasters)
