    I just don't like Kevin. He seemed a little arrogant. I wish Gregory was still in it.

    I don't think Kevin was arrogant at all.  I think he is grateful to be alive, and enjoys the shit out of what he does.  Of course I think they all feel that way.  I would not have minded Gregory still being in it, but I could say that about all of them after Malarkey was eliminated.

    I think you should go to Guam before it capsizes.

    Lesson learned though - try to post something to help Mach 1 and anyone else who might be thinking about a trip to HI and you get Pooh thrown at you. This place is turning into TexAgs.

    Seizing an opportunity to throw in a well-timed movie quote before some other asshole does is a Surly moral imperative, and hardly qualifies as flinging Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, or even Eeyore.  Besides, I started this thread.  I can do what I want.

    When Hawaii reopens it will only reopen gradually to places that have low COVID rates (Japan, NZ, Korea , etc). They dont have hospital capacity for an uncontrolled out break and have to be careful.
    US doesn’t fit the bill yet. Could be a long wait for them to reopen to tourists.
    But you’re right, they’re highly dependent on tourism.

    Shocked this thread hasn't been Derka'd already.

    The only thing worse than using the B word is using the D word.  Now there is definitely no saving this thread.

    Never ever use the B word in a thread.  It will summon evil spirits.
    Like most of you, I'm a Texas uniform purist, but agree with those who believe that there are times when it can be acceptable to set tradition aside for the sake of a greater cause.  If the players want this for the right reasons, then this certainly qualifies as one of those times.

    Several classic uniforms rather than doing a true alternate make a small modification to theirs. Why not add something like black numbers or a black stripe through Texas or maybe a black longhorn logo?

    The B word isn't "black,"  it's "Barnes," and now you have made me type it.  This thread is doomed.

    Think that has to do more with Shaka being inept.

    It goes back to REDACTED.

  7. Luby's was in my regular rotation until about 12-13 years ago when they decided to replace the water cart lady with wait staff.  Wait.  Staff.  At a cafeteria.  If I wanted this shit, I'd go to Chotchkie's:

    I haven't set foot in a Luby's since.

    I was looking into this a few weeks ago for an August family trip.   I figured if you do the Grand Canyon you should probably raft the fucker and see as much of it as you can.  After some research I came across a company that gives you all kinds of info and helps you select an outfitter. 

    https://riversandoceans.com/

    We were looking at a 3 day deal where you hike into the canyon and helicopter out.  Rest of the week could be spent hiking other spots.  

    Haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    This might be a case where CORONA actually helps your travel plans.  There is always high demand for the rafting trips.  You usually have to plan at least a year ahead.  If it is on your bucket list, you may want to grab a spot if there are some available.

    Bumping this thread to see if I can get any current actionable intell.  Trip planned for Week 3 of June. What are current crowds like, are shuttles running,  What is still closed?  Also trying to hit up Page, Antelope canyon.   Thank you in advance. 

    I can't comment on current GC conditions, but if you do Antelope Canyon, and the crowds are typical, you are essentially herded through narrow passages like cattle while your guide attempts to tutor everyone on how to configure their phone camera to get the best shots.  You likely get a better experience if you pay for the photographer tour, but it is pricey.  Either way, it's still worth doing, but set your expectations accordingly.  If you do get up to the Page area, make sure to swing by Horseshoe Bend.  It is worth the hour or two.

    The Reese’s eggs (and the slight different shaped Christmas ones)

    Peanut butter cups

    mini peanut butter cups

    Nutrageous (do they still make this?)

    and apparently the Take 5 candy bar is now Reese’s Take 5 so that vaults to the top.

     

    I would just go with:

    1.  Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
    2.  Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
    3.  Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

    Frozen, room temp, slightly melted...doesn't matter.

    Pieces do nothing for me whatsoever.  I remember when they first came out.  I was excited, thinking they were going to have both chocolate and peanut butter inside.  I was very disappointed when it turned out to be just peanut butter.

    I’d be willing to bet that if last night was a blind taste test, Malarkey would still be there. Sure sounded like Gregory’s dish was pretty weak. 

    Malarkey does not self-edit well, and that made it an easy choice.  He made two dishes that tasted well enough on their own, but he in no way captured the essence of the original dish, nor did he stick to the core principals of the restaurant.  His dish was flawed conceptually.  Sometimes the judges favor taste.  Sometimes concept.  I think if his duo complimented each other better, he might be going to Italy.  I will not miss his shtick. 

    Gregory needs to regain focus.  I think he is a little worn out.  If they get any sort of break before Italy, maybe he can recharge.

    The odds are clearly not in Stephanie's favor, but I'm really proud of her, and would not mind at all if she somehow pulled the upset.  That said, I would be fine with any of the final five winning.  I find them all likeable, and the person left at the end will clearly have earned it.  My gut says that it will come down to Melissa and Voltaggio...as long as he gets challenges that allow him to cook his food.
