Bay Area Steve But, scootsie ruled, and nineteen is acceptable for anything greater than eighteen and a half…
Uh…whatever you say…?
And, your post, in its entirety: “‘Sup, yo?…”
Oh, that…yeah, don’t know where that came from…
Maybe you ought to be? Just a thought. Better than drinking, at least…
Hey, well I’m definitely into that…And I’m just not the sit and read type. I like to be doing something else, like talking, drawing, math, listening to music, birdwatching, goofing off—you know, important stuff like that.
And on top of the slowness of my reading, I can’t ever get close to comfortable when I try it!! I wish I was more of a reader—I’m just not. My Brother is, for sure…and Mom read to us all the time when we were kids…though I think of the three of us, I would be the least enthused about it—I’m not a sit-still-for-very-long person…attention span for such things leaves a lot to be desired…

From that bastion of accuracy, wikipedia (although I have seen the clip a lot and it happened exactly like this says):
Following the 1989 regular season, Everett was reportedly “shellshocked” from the numerous times he was sacked and hit in the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers (the 49ers won, 30-3). At one point in the game, Everett was so rattled that he collapsed to the ground in the pocket in anticipation of yet another sack, even though the 49ers’ defensive players actually had not yet reached him – a play now known as Everett’s “Phantom Sack”. From then on he was perceived to shy away from hits, and later acknowledged that his confidence was never fully restored.
This eventually led to a confrontation in 1994 with then Talk2 host Jim Rome. Rome had regularly mocked Everett’s aversion to taking hits on the field by addressing him as “Chris” Everett (a reference to female tennis player Chris Evert). When Everett appeared as a guest on Talk2, Rome wasted no time, applying the insult twice within the show’s first 30 seconds. Everett warned Rome not to do so again, implying that physical confrontation would ensue otherwise. When Rome did, Everett overturned the table between them and shoved Rome to the floor while still on the air.

all I’m saying is I’m no professional athlete…he didn’t throw the table at him walked up grabbed him by the shirt and didn’t very forcefully put him on the ground…then stood there and didn’t throw a punch for about 5 seconds until some little dude came and grabbed him.

Anyone who would sully scotch with Dr. Pepper knows nothing about a drink. Even a cheap scotch deserves better than that.

Anyone who’s even a minor fan of Pearl Jam, you gotta see the documentary “Twenty.” It was on GPB tonight, which I didn’t realize until I mentioned that I’d watched it on Blue-ray and a few people on Twitter said they were watching it at that moment on the public-broadcasting channel. Anyway, it’s terrific. A definitive portrait of a band, with great interviews and a fresh look at their beginnings and how they evolved, etc. On Blue-ray, the sound is phenomenal. Great footage that’s never been shown anywhere. Cameron Crowe directed it. Solid A-grade.

I will forgive you only because I figured Piney was going to die at some point. But I had no problem with the Juice story line- you just get the feeling that is going to rear it’s ugly head at some point and it will be spectacular (in a very bloody way…).

It’s a fantastic place. And it’s absolutely jammed on Friday & Saturday nights. (they have live music on the weekends) But in the early evenings, even on Sunday, and during the week, it’s mellow and totally my kind of place. I hate super crowded, trendy places that try too hard- and there are way too many of those places here- and I love the smell of the ocean. And good beer. One of the places we looked at when we moved is literally overlooking this place on the water, and if we lived there, I would be at the bar every day. And I am not kidding.

And maybe the best part is they change their menu every few days, depending on what they get in and how fast they go through what they have, so there is always something new to try.

cab–These sound like lovely beverages and ones consumed in any amount that should marginalize that North Californian oaf who has no sense of taste.
BAS (part two): Ignore my cutting comments to cab. Those are weak attempts to ingratiate myself to an admittedly far more compelling blog presence than yourself. Indian Chinese food is basically some vaguely Chinese food with a huge amount of chilis and spice. I must admit that it is much better in Kolkata than Jersey. And much better a little bit north of here than this stupid delivery place. But it is okay.

Indian food is great; Chinese food is great. Combine them and one has found something sublime. One time, I was in an Indian Chinese restaurant in Calcutta. At the table next to me was a ‘Madame’. She had two long time patrons sitting with her. They were discussing how she brought i business. The food served to patrons. The life of a madame. It was quite interesting.
