Calling yourself a hippie is kinda similar to Michael Vick calling himself an animal lover.

Other than Starbucks for my morning coffee, I'd jump off the nearest bridge if I found myself at any of those places on my birthday.

That makes for a cheap birthday. A quick cup of coffee and then your wife is free the rest of the day.

They do say a lot of people die on their birthdays. Could be their final meals to blame.

I agree with this list except for Benihana - My wife threw a surprise party for me at this place called Arrirang - It is hibachi, but the food is better than Benihana... We had our own room upstairs that accommodated 50 people with 4 grills/large tables - It was a lot of fun and the whole bill for 45 people only cost us $1700

No it's not but we gotta do a 2-3 hour blitz of a few of these places and get as much free stuff as we can.

Sounds horrible.
But don't worry.. in the ridiculous one-off playoff format of the NFL where one team has a clear advantage of being at home, you really don't get to learn who the best team is. An errant bounce of the ball or bad referee call could end up being the difference in the winners, not the actual play on the field.
So you can use that to quench your frustration.

Most of them allow you to come in a few days ahead or day before. Benihana's is like a week or two ahead of time, my wife is registered there twice thru different emails, she gets 2 trips during birthday season, we already used them up. The happy hour ahead of your reservation time makes that place a no brainer.

The more you post, the less I understand. Oh well. Hope you get to enjoy some of the games.

Seriously, I know it sounds ridiculous but since the games will inevitably be decided by some new silly rules or the refs screwing it up I tend to agree with you. I haven't been disappointed yet this season, every week there are a few games that send chills down my spine. It's tough to sit and enjoy a game because you get pulled out at the most crucial times. Every time there is a big hit in the game I expect a yellow flag to be thrown.

No, it isn't. I just can't imagine a waitress handing over a bill for $1700, that's all.

Like in the KC/Indy game, it was just an errant bounce that caused the Chiefs to blow a 28 point 2nd half lead.

I also blame the fatness of their coach.

I'm sure if i re-watched the tape close there would be an errant bounce of the ball or crucial penalty that I can't remember that helped to swing the game.
Like in the KC/Indy game, it was just an errant bounce that caused the Chiefs to blow a 28 point 2nd half lead.
I mean, when Luck did his best Air-Jordan impression to get that TD after the fumble... if the ball had fallen in a slightly different trajectory it may have been recovered by Chiefs D and the game would've been over.
Not to mention all the bad beat injuries the Chiefs suffered.
Now, I ain't mad.. I was fine with the colts advancing... after all they clobbered the Chiefs at home in lieu of any luck or bad calls just a few weeks before... so if anything the Chiefs going in and beating them would've taught us NOTHING... no different than when the Pats beat the Giants AT HOME in week 17 only to then be beaten by them a few weeks later on the heels of a "helmet catch". Were the Giants a better team? NO WAY... but they get to hoist the trophy, robbing all of us of being able to say we saw the greatest team ever to play case closed.

I hate most chain restaurants. The food is mass produced and generic, by design. We go to a little hibachi/sushi place nearby. Locally owned, great food, very friendly and attentive owners and staff. Benihana is based in Doral, Florida and their president is some roundeye in a suit. Screw that.

Based on Dentist's posts in this thread, it is wrong for the NFL to determine the better team by staging actual football games.I'd say the Giants made the right adjustments and were the better team on that day.I'm sure if i re-watched the tape close there would be an errant bounce of the ball or crucial penalty that I can't remember that helped to swing the game.

Pats 2007 was the best team I've ever seen in all the years of football i've watched (disclaimer: NOT a Pats fan or hater) but I can't claim that they are the GOAT team due to that helmet catch EVER though they beat the same damn team at THEIR house (harder situation) just a few weeks prior.... BECAUSE of a helmet catch.
Everything was going to be nice and tidy... GOAT QB, GOAT team... tons of debates and discussions effectively ended.
If it had been best of 3, we would've been good... it's just like when a stupid 13 seed beats a #4 seed in the NCAA's... if it was best of 3, wouldn't happen
