  1. Ah, yes. Golden Gate and Drummer's Inn were excellent choices if you were partaking of substances illegal. And back in the 80's, most of the dancers at Sinbad's and Brass Rail were regulars at those locations after work.
  2. Fritz Von Erich vs The Spoiler!
  3. That battle between the Captain and Dority reminded me of Saturday Night Wrestling where the good guy was all but doomed and dead only to rise from the mat and rally against the evil competitor. Having passed a stone last year after the OU game, I am inclined to agree with you in terms of grueling based on what I hope is my one and only experience.
  4. Dead heat between this scene and the fight between Hearst's Captain and Al's compadre Dan Dority. That eyeball extraction and subsequent beating still is hard to watch.

    RIP Bart Starr

    RIP to Bart Starr. And listening to Keith Jackson's call of this infamous play reminds me of how great an announcer he was during his heyday.
  6. Arrived at 11:07 before the storm and only one person ahead of me. Brisket and ribs were solid, though I favor Panther City ribs over Flores. Glad to have a decent choice for barbecue within two miles of my home. Will definitely be coming back.
  7. May be the reason nothing lasts-not enough room for parking and the rent.
  8. 8 days a week.
  9. The last scene where Bridges drives off to Outlaw State of Mind is epic.
  10. Started from season 1 episode 1 last weekend. Finished season 3 episode 12 this weekend. Never gets old, and the number of players in this show who went on to other memorable roles is phenomenal.
  11. Mancrush on her from Mod Squad days. RIP
  12. April 28, 1998, 21 years one day at a time. My nephew in DC goes to Ashley in Maryland on Thursday thanks to our contact there. Praying that he gets his miracle before he leaves.
  13. They have three locations on 28th street and they have mastered the concept of fast food-never had to wait more than three minutes from the time I ordered till I was headed out the door with decent barnyard pimp. The corn on the cob they serve is a must have-State Fair worthy.
  14. Kennedy missed the fact that there was a restaurant called The Cactus Flower at 5th and University back in the 80's. Some of the best breakfast biscuits I ever ate were served there. Don't recall a Good Luck Cafe ever being in that spot. Interested in the new taco joint.
  15. Good link to the three JJ's enterprises: http://www.jjbluesbar.com/hideaway.htm There is a list of the bands that played at the Blues Bar that is something to see. This place and the Bluebird, Robert Ealy's place on Horne St. in Como had some great performers and the bars at both places took care of business.
  16. J&J used to have a trifecta-oyster bar, blues bar down on Henderson, and Hideaway on 7th. The food is great at the oyster bar but not a good place to view basketball. Better to eat there and then go hit Boomerjack's or some place on 7th for the games.
  17. Gregg was a big ugly as DKR referred to offensive linemen. He was an ironman-playing in 188 straight games, nearly unheard of today. Hornung and Taylor were able to run the Lombardi sweep that he was a part of in the Packer heydays. Lombardi benefitted from having a leader like Gregg set the example of toughness that had been lacking in previous years when Green Bay was an afterthought in the NFL. The fact that he returned to his alma mater, SMU, which everyone knew was a sinkhole when they went on probation, speaks to his loyalty and integrity. Saddened by his death and glad to have grown up watching him play.
  18. We stayed at Hotel Tremezzo the first time we were in Italy-very peaceful and an excellent retreat from the high traffic cities we had been visiting.
  19. Well for the record, yours truly nearly did tumble into the river a couple of years ago when I lost my balance-but one again a couple of AA brothers literally saved my ass by grabbing the back of my jeans and pulling me back. This story is mentioned every time we go to the river with a newcomer, never fails to get a laugh, and I get to practice rule 62 one more time.😁
  20. Met down on the Trinity this morning with 16 other alcoholics to support a new sponsee in taking his third step. It has become a tradition in our group when someone is about to pray the third step prayer for the first time, we all go down on the river, walk out on the rocks to the middle, and one at a time, kneel and say the prayer. The newbie goes last as all of us gather around him and place a hand on his shoulder as a sign of support. We then close with the Lord's prayer and go to a 7am meeting. Still one of the most spiritual experiences in my life everytime we do this for a newcomer. Never gets old.
  21. Anthony's was a bar bar back in the day. Sinbad's, Brass Rail, and end the night at Anthony's. Yep, I'm old.
  22. We are both old. And I endorse this statement fully and long for the days gone by when Second Edition was a weekly go to of mine.
  23. Unfortunately, the survivors will not ever get the admission they seek from the British government. Great documentary.
  24. Seriously contending-the Raiders are.
  25. Been in my rotation for 10+ years. They turn those tables quickly so even if there is a line as there often is, the wait is not long. Have sat at the bar a few times and marveled at how quickly orders are taken, prepared, and delivered to the tables. Paris on Saturday, Vickery on Sunday makes breakfast on weekends a no brainer.
