I think Homer versus New York City is a pretty accurate description of my time in Chicago. Thanks for the suggestions on what to do. They were awesome, but I learned I don't care for a city that big. Even got my bag caught on the turnstile on the way out ala Homer and the boot on his car. Super friendly people, but it was just too much. I'm happily drinking a beer and listening to birds and my dogs run around after 3 days of constant noise.
Ever been driving and notice that a cop is taking a little too much interest in you? I had two beers this afternoon and was driving to my sisters when I noticed this. I knew I was good but there's something nerve wracking about that. The officer was following me for a little bit and I was sweating even though I literally only had 2 IPAs.
Who doesn't know Wilbur from the Mr. Ed show? Didn't any of you grow up watching black and white Mr. Ed re-runs? "A horse is a horse, of course, of course . . . . ." Maybe this should go in that generation gap thread we had a few months ago.
Between TBS when I was a kid and Nick at Nite when I was a teenager, I watched a shit ton of old black and white sitcoms. I definitely know the Mr. Ed theme song by heart. Also, he was in the Time Machine, which was a bitchin movie.
I had a betta fish named Wilbur when I was a lad. Whenever his name was uttered, my mom would repeat it in Mr. Ed's voice. I always thought it was some retarded tick my mom had. I didnt realize she was doing an impression of a talking horse from a sitcom that went off the air 20 years before I was born until like 5 years ago.
I pulled a muscle in my back deadlifting (hello, aging out of my boundless 20's athleticism and the 1000 pound club), so I spent all weekend on the couch in a book or in front of the tube. God of Egypt was surprisingly not bad, aside from not actually having Egyptians in it. Elektra from Daredevil was pure sex, Jamie Lannister as a hero wasn't bad and Leonidas as the villain was legit. It was like Clash of the Titans only on more powerful drugs. Preacher was fucking dope. I'm excited about this show a lot.
Speaking of, last night we watched the 2015 documentary "Being Evel", about the life of Evel Knievel. Great movie. My 12 year old daughter was bitching and moaning about watching a "boring documentary" and 10 minutes in and one awesome crash later she was hooked. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/being_evel/
It feels like the summer season has actually rolled around now, and that means refreshing summer drinks. What's a good cheap vodka?
Vodka, lemon, seltzer. Win. Also good with a splash of grapefruit. I don't bother with anything but Tito's anymore. $27 for a handle, doesn't taste like lighter fluid, makes a decent martini (although you should be using gin anyway).
At first I read that as you were buying vodka from Costco for $1.75 and thinking "What the fuck dewercs? You'd be better off with high quality paint thinner." But then I reread it and realized I'm a moron.
http://time.com/4344556/mount-everest-death-climbing-vegan/?xid=time_socialflow_facebook I love it when shit like this comes around.
2nd Costco booze. I buy their 1.75L 100% agave tequila for less than $20 and make margarita's with it (Tequila, triple sec & lime juice) Actually prefer it over some of the more more expensive tequilas out there. Been meaning to try their Amber Ale.
Wow, a state that is more expensive then CT for booze. $11.99 and $16.99 for the Kirkland Vodka's here.
I have to give this girl credit, I appreciate her candor about the condition of her vagina. I do think she may be a little too open about her sexual health though. Kind of reminds me in the movie 50/50 when he goes up to a girl in the bar and starts off with, "Hi, I have cancer..." except its not cancer, its herpes.
