  1. I think this is pretty funny. It's kind of like a black version of Curb as far as I can tell. I had to Google Vince Staples after watching the first episode so that's where I'm coming from and I've gotten some laughs out of it. Anyone else?
  2. Near as I can tell it's about Chicago, fish and a bunch of bros e-flirting with Nicole.
  3. If a stranger bums a cigarette and your last pull of whiskey off of you and gives you some advice, listen to that man. Also, whatever you do, do not let him fall asleep.
  4. What is the current verdict on buying early bird check-in vs upgraded boarding day of? Sending wife and kids to see my in-laws on Sunday on SWA connecting through MDW. All I really care about is them getting 3 together on both legs (same for way back). They are old, 14, and 11.
  5. I did some kind of fall colors tour in Canada when I was a kid/teen and it was really cool.
  6. I was at that game I think. We lost 49-3 and Chuck Rogers gave up on the field. RIP. I don't believe the Landing Strip still exists. Doing my best to put my bias aside I maintain that Ann Arbor is a really cool town but a shitty college town. I'm sure if one went to school there they would feel differently.
  7. Just in case you need to break the emergency glass, this is the guy who trained under AF. https://abamazingribs.com/ Damn I might have to try it. https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/dining/mark-kurlyandchik/2019/05/16/texas-halal-bbq-dearborn-heights/3667852002/
  8. My comment was more in regards to his GM/President tenure. Instead of embracing the rebuild he...traded for AI and signed Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva iirc. I do remember Joe being pretty damn good in the early to mid 90s, after Isiah retired. I remember that signature step back 3 off the dribble. Clyde is probably the right answer.
  9. Disclaimer is I'm old and I don't go "out" much anymore for nightlife. I did hit up a Wings game with some friends in town last winter and we went to some bars in mid town. That said, from what I hear, I would not recommend Greektown other than maybe a place to grab lunch during the day. I think at night on the weekends these days there are a lot of hooligans down there looking for trouble. There have been a few fights and shootings down there over the past few years. Also as PH says you would have to be insane to try Slow's as a Texan so please don't. It's not good BBQ imo. There's a place in Dearborn Heights where a guy opened a store who trained under Franklin. But yeah I'm sure you don't need BBQ in Detroit. Square pizza, coneys, Middle Eastern, Polish is our wheelhouse.
  10. He fell off pretty hard after '08 that's for sure.
  11. Gerald Wilkins. Next question.
  12. Niece got married there in June. It is legit. I didn't check out the golf facilities but my daughter was a flower girl or something so she and my wife had a room and stayed the night. It's nice. Not luxurious but pretty damn nice. Steakhouse with a bar on site, as well. It's basically a wedding resort so if crashing weddings is your thing, get Chaz on the line and have him meet you there. Definitely a good rec if you're striking out downtown and in AA.
  13. Check Caesars Windsor. On second thought probably not the best idea if you want to do anything on the US side other than the game. Tunnel and bridge and fees are kind of a pain in the ass. Plymouth, Canton, Northville are nice areas and west of Detroit on the way to AA. If you're ok with a 35-40 minute drive I'd probably stay in Royal Oak. Good mix of night life and restaurants and shopping. Close to the zoo. About 10 minutes north of downtown. Another edit, they legalized a couple of years ago here and there are dispensaries all over, mostly in the burbs. If you're into that. Mack, for Dearborn I would make time for the HF Museum. It is awesome. Al Ameer for Lebanese. The Ford Garage is supposed to be very good. There is a sit down Buddy's in West Dearborn. Miller's Bar for burgers is a must. Don't go to Fairlane.
  14. Depends what you're into. I recommend the DIA, definitely the Henry Ford (Dearborn), Hittsville, the Riverwalk is decent. The zoo is nice. If the Tigers are in town you could check out Comerica, they might even be decent this year who knows. You could do a pedal pub downtown, they even have a boat version of the pedal pub on the river. Hell bring your passport and check out Windsor. There are also casinos if you're into that. Dearborn and Hamtramck are cool if you want to explore some different neighborhoods and aren't scared of brown people. If late 20s, early 30s bar hopping is your thing, Royal Oak. If you are a hipster corktown and Ferndale. If you want to hit on cougars and shop at Lululemon and smoke cigars, Birmingham. If you want to get out to the country and do something seasonal, find a good cider mill. Early September is an awesome time of year in SE Michigan typically weather wise.
  15. I'm very confused about all of these Detroit posters popping out of the woodwork. Which one of you is boner pills? Also did not realize UT was playing in AA next year.
  16. I am starting to redo my setup. I have a need to mount 3 flat screens vertically. They can have a max height of 26" so that likely means 50" or slightly smaller if I can find without going down to 43". Can a single 2x4 stud hold that kind of weight? What are my options?
  17. Mr. Petty King going off tonight should have been more obvious. Damn I could have cleaned up on the parlays.
  18. The scene with him holding the hospital bed with Dixon strapped to it out of the helicopter was a tad (no pun intended) much I will admit. Favorite line of the season that did make me LOL was when Terminator said to Reacher on the phone "What is it that you want?" and Reacher thought about it for a second and said "I want to throw you out of a helicopter."
  19. It was bad. I enjoyed it.
  20. Getting there!
  21. A lady on nextdoor is selling a Caraway 6.5 qt Dutch oven new in box for 70 bucks. Looks like $180 new. I've never used or felt I needed to use a Dutch oven but I'm going to go for it. I'm loving the new kitchen and having fun cooking on the new range so why not.
  22. It was his blood pressure. Genetic. He started on meds and they're already working. I need to get my ass to the doctor. I'm an only go when something is wrong guy. I'm really scared of what they're going to tell me and I have been for a good 15 years so I don't go. I guess the alternative is worse.
  23. It doesn't feel great on my knees but I just realized I can do a full depth bodyweight squat. Like my damn hamstrings touching my calves. 3 years ago that angle was probably 110 degrees. I'm still falling apart at 46, but the work with the trainer and his guidance on shit my joints will allow me to do has really made a huge difference. Sorry for the humblebrag. It's been a rough week and I need to go to bed tonight feeling happy about where I'm at physically. A coworker (49) told me today that he had a heart jerk last week. He runs 30 miles a week, eats perfect, doesn't drink or smoke. 6'0, 173. Between that and the Warriors assistant coach keeling over at 46 and I'm going to keep making changes in a positive direction.
  24. So basically I buy the dakboard CPU and a smart TV and that's a wrap? Do I need to hang the TV vertically? Seems like it would be nice to use it as a TV if I were so inclined.
  25. Bears, Broncos, Saints are the 3 teams that don't have a choice. Bears could be fun if they hire KK and draft Williams.
