Is it sad that I'm from Indiana and I've been to the Speedway, and I couldn't possibly care less about the Indy 500?
Dimpy?! Is that a real name or something the parents made up, you think? Or is it a nickname? Mind. Boggled. I used to think it was just our generation with weird and/or shitty names, but it has been going around forever. For example: my grandmother's name: Flossie. I kid you not. That wasn't a nickname for anything, either. My great grandparents named all of their children names appropriate for family pets.
No not at all. I went to the Indy 500 with my dad years ago and it was the most boring event ever. At least on TV you get to see them all the way around the track, in person it's just ........ vroom vroom as they zip by and then you sit there and wait for a wreck to happen within sight. It's not worth the sunburn you inevitably end up with.
Flew to Dallas for the Byron Nelson and a huge irish catholic wedding. Seven open bars, and tons of Notre Dame assholes to fuck with. Had a great time but now I'm sitting at my gate at DFW with a hangover bigger than Durbanite's second chin. I'm a bbq nerd, so I ate at Sonny Bryan's three times, and every single fucking time there were dipshit "foodies" there snapping pictures of their pulled pork, the Lone Star bottles, etc. Holy shit, just eat and drink. Enjoy it! Half expected to see Guy Fieri pop out and declare us all citzens of Flavortown, USA. Twisted Root is the shit too. Dallas folks, know of a better burger? I don't.
Sonny Bryans is not real BBQ dude. Two places in Mckinney you could have knocked out for BBQ and burgers, both great places. Hutchins BBQ and Catfish off of Tennessee and Bakers Drive in off of McDonald. At Bakers get the chili cheese fries, any burger on the menu and a large tea. Bakers has been in business long enough that even my mom went there as a kid.
Well, that little storm set off the tornado sirens and I'm under a tornado warning for another 20 minutes. It also knocked out my Internet. Thank god for smartphones and DVD players in the basement! There has been a consistent low rumble with this storm that I've never heard before, so that's exciting! Not sure if it is wind or a constant thunder roll. Oh, and the quarter size hail is a nice touch, too.
I've been to Baker's plenty of times, spot on with chili cheese fries. No point in getting into that endless debate about what is and isn't bbq, all I know is that if I want a pulled pork sandwich and I'm not in an area that does carolina style well, I crave Sonny Bryan's. Everything else there is meh, and they get a pass from everyone because they're old as balls, but you can't deny their pulled pork is pretty fucking good.
About three episodes into Jericho. Ehhhh.... Really cool concept. Half shit network tv execution is holding it back from being all time top tier like a myriad of cable network shows. Having the actor that played George Hearst on Deadwood is really helping it though.
I'd like to know how two bottles of wine on a Sunday afternoon led to me dropping over $400 on amazon.com.
Jesus christ, I forgot I have a BBQ to go to right now, my liver tapped out last night, the mere sight of alcohol makes my stomach turn. But I'm pretty much sure it's illegal not to drink at a BBQ, pray for me.
... And replace it with the Amazon Visa where you get 3% cash back on all Amazon purchases, you can't afford not to spend all your money there!
Flawless logic! Also, Hooker. Honey. Dear. If you accidentally bought 2 Kindles instead of 1, I'm sure you know where you can offload that other one!
I miss having a grill. I make awesome burgers and, while I wouldn't kick the ones I made last night on my cast iron pan out of bed, nothing beats a nice, big, juicy burger made on the grill. *Homer noise.* I'm getting extremely jealous of everyone who's going to a bbq today. Bring me back something?
We get new lax drinking laws in Ontario starting June 1st, which includes that you can walk around street/licensed festivals with drink in hand without crowding into the noisy beer tents anymore. As well as parties don't have to close their bars until 2am, which actually sucks for me because that means I have to DJ shitty WASP weddings for an hour longer. Bartenders will also be permitted to legally give comp. drinks to people with birthdays, anniversaries and the like. Win-Lose. I like the fact I won't miss bands as much because I'm busy trying to chase a buzz at the furthest point from the stage anymore.
