  1. It's for "The Godfather" on Claremont Mesa. Any good? Unless I'm in the mood for Asian food (or a happy ending) I don't get to Claremont/Kearny.
  2. That’s great news. Keep guys churning into better jobs.
  3. Ya know, at Arlen Lanes, the Tuesday night league is all locksmiths
  4. Per the book, his brother was called by his first name, but Jack was always just "Reacher"
  5. President Carter was a nuke guy. Here's an interesting story https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/jimmy-carter-nuclear-meltdown-clean-up-canada-navy-history
  6. Here's the thing: I live in North County, and this particular restaurant seems to be a neighborhood joint in an area of San Diego that I don't really frequent. There's nothing in that part of town to draw me, so who knows if and when I'll use the thing.
  7. And BTW, he's 64 now, so it's been a while since the "Gold, Jerry" days.
  8. Same flight Heathrow-LAX. We just happened to sit down next to each other waiting for the gate to open (we were both very early), started bullshitting, etc. For those that haven't been to LHR, the gates are literally rooms with doors...not like gates at DFW that are part of the larger terminal. When the gate isn't open, you cannot even get in the room. He introduced himself as "Steve". After a bit, I said "Hey Steve, you've looked familiar since we met, and I just realized who you are". He replied "yeah, there are a lot of Seinfeld fans around, even here in London". His wife is a flight attendant at AA, and she was working the flight. He ended up not taking the flight because business class was full (with 1% mofos like me) so he said he'd wait and take the first flight the following morning which had a ton of room up front. He had to wait until the flight was fully boarded to get them to move him back to the next day so we shot the shit for quite a while. I didn't go starfucker on him...just shot the shit. He asked more about me than I did about him. He does standup now, but almost exclusively corporate gigs. He lives up near Reno. Here's how nice he was: he called his wife (from the gate) after I boarded to tell her that "Gil" is in Business Class and is from San Diego. His wife came to me and introduced herself, and gave me a gift card to an Italian joint in SD. She said that they are big golfers, won it in a golf tourney (as part of a gift basket) and never get to SD, and she had carried the thing in her purse for months. So, yeah, Bania is buying ME a meal. True story, every word
  9. I recently hung out with this guy for a couple of hours Super cool guy. Really nice. Now lives in Reno, does occasional standup, mostly for corporate gigs.
  10. I had assumed that the dog froze to death. Glad to see it's still alive.

    The GF: “I want to go shopping at Herrods” Me: (blank stare) GF: “You can sit at the Prosecco Bar and eat pizza while I shop” Me: “yeah, ok”.

    I’m on the tarmac at LAX headed that way!
  13. I wonder how many young folks on this board will have to google "rolodex"?
  14. I'm so, so proud of my son. He's my hero. He's a brave motherfucker, and a better man that I'll ever be. After he was born, I got snipped. My vasectomy remains the best gift that I ever gave myself.
  15. Joe Walsh did that all over the country. Walsh was on Stern so often, that he agreed to be in the house band when Stern had an audition/test show for a late-night TV show in NYC. Walsh was passed out under Howard's feet by the time the show started.
  16. I doubt he got deeper than those sweathogs chafed thighs. John C. Holmes himself would have a difficult time penetrating those layers of blubber
