Top 10 rock'n'roll songs of all time
Sonic Highways seems like a miss in hindsight. I haven’t reached for it in years. Of course, it got stuck in the CD player of my old truck for like 6 months, so I’ve probably heard it as much as I’ll ever need to.

Top 10 rock'n'roll songs of all time
Even the late stage FF albums have killer song or two, generally. Christ, the last one was actually really good.

New Orleans recommendations (one night)
I’m staying next door to you tomorrow. Let me know if you get stabbed tonight. I remember that area seeming safe last time I went.

I'm angry just knowing this exists.

Check out these fucking chips
They still make those in Canada, and I agree that they're quite good. All Dressed demands a heftier chip than the normal Lay's cut. Ruffles are up to the task.

Big Sky / Yellowstone
My wife and I did one day in Yellowstone a few years ago and hit a whole bunch of things, and never felt overwhelmed. We climbed Avalanche Peak, went to the canyon and it's view points. Hit Grand Prismatic, and then Old Faithful on our way to Jackson. Spent the previous night in Cody and got on the trail by 7:30AM or so.

The Old Dutch All Dressed are where it's at, but you have to Canada to get 'em.

College Hoops 2024-25
God, I hope not. We suck hind tit going into the Eastern time zone usually. Our last NCAA trip to Greensboro was one of the worst performances of the Otz era.

College Hoops 2024-25
I expect us to be a 2 seed currently. I'm completely fine with that. If we're a 1 seed, we'll end up in Milwaukee. If we're a 2 seed, we'll end up in Wichita. Des Moines is 5.5 hours from each.

College Hoops 2024-25
Houston's elite, but they're also having some crazy shit go their way. I suspect we're elite, and we've had some crazy shit go against us. Like I said, I think these experiences will help us out come March. I'm in no way down on this ISU squad, but I could see Houston winning out. We only play each other once, and it's there. Right now I think it's our only remaining loss and the idea that we could go 17-3 and finish in second by several games isn't far fetched at all.

College Hoops 2024-25
I fuckin’ love this team. We’re down a starter currently and it cost us WVU for sure, and unless the horseshoe falls out of Houston’s ass, it’s hard to see a Big 12 reg season title or 1 seed. But Momcilovic is back in February and fighting through his absence should make us that much in tougher in March.

Top 10 rock'n'roll songs of all time
It’s not my favorite song of all time, but I’ll die on the hill that it’s the best rock song of all time. For the record, my favorite song of all time is “Wild Horses”, but that’s a country song.

Top 10 rock'n'roll songs of all time
I'd put the upbeat Matthew Sweet stuff in the rock category. I'm partial to this one.

Top 10 rock'n'roll songs of all time
Not for me. Half the songs on my "favorite" list would never be even close to a universal "top 10" list.

Top 10 rock'n'roll songs of all time
I thought the list was personal favorite top 10, not the ones you think objectively qualify. Because my list would look a lot different if I was doing that.

New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
We were last in New Orleans in 2016 and people told us right away to hit Frenchman to get away from the Bourbon Street vibe, but it was definitely a huge ass party on Frenchman at that point. I preferred it to Bourbon Street for sure, but it wasn't exactly low key.

Oyster spots in Uptown or Garden District? Google hunting gave me Cooter Brown's at the west end of St Charles. Looks like my kind of place, but I'm sure there's plenty of other places around town too. Getting in Wednesday around 1. Ready to be childless and out of the cold (of course it's going to be unseasonably warm up here while we're gone) for a few days.

Soup, Stew, Chili, Gumbo (Cold weather eats)
I don’t mind liver, but I won’t buy it. I just cook the ones that come from our hogs. Heart and tongue as well, but I actually enjoy those quite a bit.

Lefse and virmapolse (sp? It’s a Norwegian sausage that I’m spelling in phonetic English) are good, but more Norwegian than Swedish

RHCP: Frusciante back, Klinghoffer gone
I had a huge Chili Peppers phase. I still enjoy them, but rarely listen these days. I also completely understand the haters. Saw them live 2-3 years ago and it was a fucking blast. BSSM is their peak, but I liked everything up through Stadium Arcadium. That album has shitty songs for sure, but Frusciante just drops his nuts all over it.

Yeah. Lutefisk is irredeemable.
