    No kidding. Not sure I trust any of you internet people enough to play golf with...I might wake up dead in a fairway bunker on the 18th hole or some nonsense.

     

     

     

    Depends on who is driving the cart.

    Hmmmm I guess Robert "The Perfect Reputation" Mueller has plumb fucking run out of collusion ideas/crimes.  Hopefully he's on his last legs with this investigation.

    Wut?

    Who's the asshole who told you where to find the new site?  Dammit.

    Well, after trading a few emails we found out that we take the same yoga class on sunday mornings and office very close to one another.  Very small and weird little world.  Look forward to playing with you guys soon.  

    Pics of said yoga class?

    I don't see how you reach that conclusion.  It appears that every "leak" comes from the witnesses who have been questioned, not the investigators doing the questioning. 

    I say that for two reasons.  First, every story is careful not to say that the source is inside the OSC; it always says something along the lines of "according to one source familiar with the investigation" or "according to sources with knowledge of the investigation's direction."  Second, we never learn anything about the investigation until after witnesses are questioned about something. 

    The Reuters report is a case in point, as set forth in the first sentence: "Investigators probing whether Donald Trump’s presidential campaign colluded with Russia have been questioning witnesses about events at the 2016 Republican National Convention, according to two sources familiar with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiries."

    So--the sources are "familiar" with the "inquiries"--i.e., the questions--and not the underlying evidence.  And once again, we only learn about what the OSC is investigating based on what they "have been questioning witnesses about."

    This.  I would be shocked if any of the leaks have come from Mueller's team.

    Old Overholt is fine, and a helluva value. But for like eight dollars more, you can get Rittenhouse, which at 100 proof vs. old overholt's 80 proof holds up to dilution a little better and tastes fucking delicious.

    Taste shouldn't be too different re: simple syrup vs. muddled sugar. I prefer the muddled sugar personally. I find that I enjoy a more traditional old fashioned to one that's been churched up with fancy liquors and/or bitters. sugar, angostura, couple of drops of water, ice, rye, stir, garnish with orange peel. it really doesn't need anything else. 

    Este.

    I keep a bottle of Rittenhouse around just for my old fashioneds.  Also, I'll toss in a couple of drops of orange bitters in addition to the Angostura.  No need to muddle fruit and goddammit don't put club soda in my drink.

  6. Haha, Homercles! That reminds me of one time I played at Preston Trail.  Odd thing about that place is that their locker room and 19th hole are all one big area.  They had a big buffet table right next to a bunch of lockers and some old dude was reaching across the table just like in your photo grabbing a cookie or something.

    Uh, no thanks, I'll just order off the menu.

    Mitchell Brothers Theater

    I meant to come back and offer a serious response.  

    It's been several years since I've been to San Francisco, so take with a grain of salt.  I've always enjoyed going to Tadich Grill.  To me it's the Galatoire's of San Francisco.  Other places (perhaps an alternative to Swan) is Hog Island Oyster in the Ferry Building.

    For best food/service experience my last visit to Gary Danko was superb.  

  8. Some cool stuff on the westworld website leading up to the new season.

    Last season I signed up on the website and from time to time get email updates from "Delos" that have some easter eggs, etc. that made following the series even more enjoyable.

  9. I need to hit that Latin Deli on NW Highway soon.  Have yet to try a Cuban sandwich in Dallas that tastes like a real Cuban sandwich.  Two big misses recently.  One at a new latin place below my building downtown (horribly dry pork on shitty bread) and the other at Uncle Uber's today (tasty but not in any way a real Cuban sandwich).

  10. What books would you like to see adapted to the screen?

    I'd really like to see The Historian (epic Dracula novel) adapted.  Apparently when it was originally published, Sony bought the rights.  After doing some digging it appears that a screenplay may have been developed at some point over the last 10 years, but nothing appears to be in imminent development.

    I loved it.  I think it's a stand alone.  I don't think they're doing any more seasons.  It's based on a novel and I don' t believe there are any squeals.

    It was promoted as a limited series, so I assumed it was a one shot deal.  The final episode was a little bit of a let down with the tying up of loose ends and all, but overall I thought the series as a whole was pretty good.

    It's called parenting, you son of a bitch.

    Speaking from experience, the kids will grow up regardless of your parenting.  How many opportunities will you have to attend another FJ or TX-OU invitational?
