Laptop type cord

dont ever lose it.  Had to try 3 different chinese replacements before I found one that works.   Electrolux doesn't offer an OEM replacement.

Felix Rex and Chunkles and the Gooches

IIRC the Gooches have posted as recently as March.   

What was the guy stationed in Egypt, I forgot about him.

Don't assume barclay has such rules.  Maybe they do now, but gE was whipping their ass not long ago.

URs transfer to British Airways, which you can use on AA flights although it often requires calling and booking over the phone.

it's a gamble, I'd do some research on recent churning results...

so interesting question.   I saw they popped Lori and Felicity on wire fraud and mail fraud.   So if they'd just dropped a bag o cash instead of using the postal service and wire services what would they be charged with?

Need pro tips for the following destinations in the next few months. Keep it food/drink and fringe arts-y related. Nothing that has been featured on the Food Network and/or has a gift shop.

San Diego
Philadelphia
Minneapolis
Mumbai and/or Pune
I had a pretty incredible dinner at Butcher & the Boar in Minneapolis last fall. 6.5/7, would recommend

wait, people actually think that game was in Kemper?

LOL, missed that part.   It's as as when I blocked out the Bish loss in the Enterprise Center in 1998.

So Wade was seen Saturday night and Sunday afternoon around town, apparently without a boot.

Poster who is Wade’s high school coach posted this morning that he asked Wade’s parents and that his parents didn’t know anything about a new X-ray/broken foot.

Does Kstate have an X-ray machine?  They cost about $100,000.   I guess maybe one that all the sports teams can use?

if true this is as WTF as the Diarra shotgun rumor.

Not going to lie.

Still sit in disbelief that we lost as a 3 seed in Kemper to LaSalle. Watching BW stand with arms crossed as Angel drove into the corner really soured me on him. That's been difficult for me to let go.



goddammit, I had just gotten this image out of my mind.    Now it's back.

Does this championship change anything for you?  For me it does.

I feel compelled to "accept" oscar now.  I do not like oscar, and I suspect that I never will.  However, winning a conference title with his own players is obvious evidence that he can coach.  No reasonable person can question that. 

However, it's an entertainment business first.  oscar doesn't entertain me, so I doubt I'll spend any money on KSU basketball.  I dropped a fortune on the cult of Huggins and Frank....loved them.  Still do love them, and continue to wish they had never left.  Over the last 6 years or so I found other stuff to do instead of college basketball, so I definitely don't feel like I am "harmed" by oscar being the KSU basketball coach.  If anything, it's really saved me a lot of time and money.

So, I guess you could say that this championship changes a great deal for me, and yet nothing.  Go Cats!

pretty much spot on for my feelings.   Hope some nice guys emerge from the team though for next year, I need some kids to cheer for like I have for the seniors.

More on dude#2!

So, I went to the store and picked up some $6 reading glasses to leave at work and $10 worth of lottery tickets.

The VP was there when I got back. He said and did a bunch of totally normal stuff for the next several hours. BUT THEN, as I was getting ready to leave, he told me that he wanted to share something with me. I'd learned earlier that he was a wrestling coach and has a son who is a star wrestler. He then told me that he'd taken his son to Nationals as a 14 year old and felt terrible because his son lost immediately. His reaction was to write a letter to his son. The letter is what he wanted to share with me. So, I sat there as he read verbatim this 3/4 page, single spaced, deeply personal letter about winning and losing and trying and getting back up and learning life lessons. As he's reading it, I'm like, "Oh crap. How am I supposed to respond to this? Is my response going to sound phony? What's going on here!?" Luckily, he kept right on talking after reading and the conversation flowed naturally.

so dude #2 is the VP?

how many shot clock violations can one team have?  good grief...

Funny how tastes change...I used to buy albums and listen cover to cover, now it's all streaming or radio and short snippets, so I have not grown to love artists as much as indivudal songs.

Green Book was good, but not great.

Bo Rhap should have won over Green Book.

Black Panther GTFOMF with that.   That movie sucked.

One of the halftime correspondent guys in the studio during our game was bagging on the Lavender pretty hard.  No idea who he is but obvious PUD.

the guy that looks like he has bad SNL makeup 5 oclock shadow?

He was the one on the right.  He was a bit obnoxious about it and everyone else was kinda like "uh...we like them." 

I'm sure his parents gender stereotyped colors when he was younger.  Anything remotely close to the color pink is probably emasculating in his eyes.  He seemed very uncomfortable.

yeah, same guy

« on: February 19, 2019, 08:54:19 AM »
Ate there at the end of January.  Had a filet and one of those seafood towers.....it was pretty incred.

interestingl factoid:  eddie v's, a seafood restaurant, serves prime grade steak.  capital grille, a steakhouse, serves choice grade.  both are owned by the same restaurant group.

probably tough for Capital Grille to get enough prime consitently to serve prime.    Eddie Vs probably can as they don't serve as many.   Also notice their menu doesn't list the filets as prime, likely because they are good enough as choice.
