We are absolutely identical in this. If you have 60 items on your menu, you probably are serving about 58 ####ty items. But its impossible to know which 58 are lousy, and you can't just use the ol' "don't buy trout from a steakhouse" measuring stick when you can't even begin to guess if the place is a barbecue joint, or a fried chicken shack, or a seafood place. Food trucks and "abuela's kitchens" get it....make three or four things, but freaking OWN them. Throw a handful of sides in there that pair nicely with the entrees. Get a decent drink list. Profit. Speaking of drinks, I should have purchased more scotch earlier. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My wife just spent 2 weeks in North Carolina helping her niece after her sister died. She flew home from Greenville, NC to Charlotte, then to Wis. Last night opening her luggage (A checked bag) there was a notice inside from TSA stating her checked bag was opened and checked..... WTF ? When did this start happening?

mr roboto 8,574 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I flew to California from Chicago after my grandfather died to scatter his ashes up on June Mountain. Had to take Papa with me in the suitcase. He was in a pewter/metal urn. I knew damn well they would see this giant metal cylinder object on the X-ray and open up my suitcase so after wrapping the thing in bubble wrap and multiple layers of plastic wrap and tape I taped a not to it - ‘Human Remains. Please Do Not Disturb’ When we got to California I opened the suitcase and sure enough - TSA note was in there with a hand written note at the bottom of the form letter ‘we didn’t touch it. Sorry for your loss.’ Then on the way back we couldn’t fit the now empty urn back in the suitcase so I tossed it in a dumpster behind an IHOP in Oakland lol. 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RC94 2,084 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 My old MP3 player has the strangest quirk (I don't use my phone for music because I can't afford to drop it and break it - I need it for work). Years ago I burned all of my CDs into my computer and have saved it on external hard drives, so I have a few thousand songs stored. I like to have my music on random shuffle. It always starts with the last song I was listening to, which is fine, but I would expect all of the following songs to be random. However, for some reason, the 2nd song always played is a U2 song called "40" and then the 3rd song and the following songs would be randomly chosen. I really hate that U2 song at this point and skip past it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reg Lllama of Brixton 11,956 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I went to a Catholic HS. In my Jr year Theology class the teacher would make us take turns giving a “devotion” at the beginning of class. You were supposed to find a passage or quote about Jebus and read it to the class. We had to do it like once a month. And you would lose points if you didn’t do it or did it half assed. I ALWAYS forgot when it was my turn. One day I walked into class and saw that it was my turn. I started to panic but then has a brainstorm. I told the teacher I forgot my “devotion” in my locker and ran out to get it. I came back with my “War” cassette and read off the lyrics to”40”. I think I got a B-. Thanks, Bono! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reg Lllama of Brixton 11,956 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Paul McCartney, Pete Townsend, and Mick Jagger were comparing gifts that they had received over the years. Paul showed the other two a ring made with jewels cut and fitted into the shape of a beetle and said he had received it from the Queen as a thank you for sharing his music. They both agreed it was impressive. Pete Townsend showed the other two a necklace with gold letters an inch high that spelled 'Tommy' and said that he received it as a thank you for composing the rock opera. They both agreed it was impressive. Mick Jagger then showed the other two a loaf of brown bread and said that he had received it after concerts in North Africa. Paul and Pete said that it was nice but not as impressive as their gifts. Mick said 'I know, it's only a Moroccan roll but I like it' 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, we tried again Friday with my neighbor buddy who had a lot of liquid courage flowing through his blood stream, as did I.

It just....exploded inside my hand. My buddy freaked out, ran outside and barfed. But, it's gone.
