  1. I like how it adds up to...69, dude!
  2. They own Lincoln Street just one block south on...you guessed it...Lincoln!
  3. After irth

    Getting old sucks

    Kegels. Lots of kegels.
  4. A moose once...dammit...Cheeseweasel beat me to it.
  5. I have a full set of Lamson Sharp with the Rosewood handles that I have been using for 24 years. Recent additions/acquisitions have been the matching pair of Santokus and the cleaver. The 7” Santoku, the 6” Utility and the Paring knife get used the most, and travel with me to family/friend events. I am the only one that uses and maintains them, and they typically get used 4-5 days a week. The ergonomics totally work for me, and I totally agree that putting a knife in your hand before you buy is the way to go.
  6. Spirit Adrift in Austin on 6/21. Ready to Doom out with my tomb out...!
  7. I.J. Miggs is alive and well, ladies and gentlemen!
  8. I got married on Juneteenth. She’s white, though.
  9. I’ll never understand that shit.
  10. Kidney stones for that chick, man...
  11. Pos rep for the Toht reference.
  12. Hmm...might need to rethink then. I did cancel Arnaud’s and booked Irene’s instead because I forgot my suit-bag at home.
  13. Paul McCartney on Thursday night in NOLA. Front row, soundcheck access, dinner in the Green Room. Bucket list item for my wife (no pics). Should be an interesting evening.
  14. Heading to NOLA on Tuesday for 5 nights. First time in 2 years. Booked it back in September, so didn’t even realize we were gonna be there during the holiday weekend. Last time we were there, we had a group, so we had a lot of tours and kitschy group stuff. Could never get anybody on the same page for meals, so we had to settle a lot on what we could get into at the time. Despite being my birthday trip, I never really got to do what I wanted to do, although I don’t think I paid for a drink all week. This time, just the wife and I (no pics). Doing our own thing. Booked The Westin Canal Place on points. While the wife hits Spa Atlantis the first morning, I’m gonna grab a shave and haircut at The Rooster Club. A good Sazerac soon to follow. Hopefully, a vacation frame of mind will settle in Reservations made for Arnaud’s, Mr. B’s, and GW Fins. Possibly a trip to Collette one night. BUT...the big thing...front row for Paul McCartney on Thursday night. Should be one helluva trip.
  15. Just took delivery on a Mini insulated cabinet from Lone Star Grillz. Did the seasoning burn the other night. One 8# bag of KBB stacked around the perimeter of the firebox ran at 250 for 12 hours. Didn’t have to touch a thing once I got up to temp. Gonna be a good summer.....
  16. Threads like this make me glad I’m soooo far removed from anything remotely resembling a corporate environment.
  17. I only accept even numbers. No idea why.
  18. That’s just scary. I used to log many miles in my career. Not so much now. And I don’t enjoy driving like I used to. It kinda concerns me that I’m actually becoming a bit of a nervous driver now. Maybe with good reason.....
  19. I’m not easily offended. Wife’s a Dr. and is not grossed out by anything (no pics), but...for some reason...we keep separate throne rooms. Just kinda naturally evolved that way, unspoken. We just both tend to like to do our business uninterrupted and in private. Not that we can’t share a bathroom. Happens all the time, mostly while traveling. Neither one of us are shy. Plus, she’s the farter in the relationship. Tinker-stinker time, however, is a holy thing. Don’t ask me why.
  20. Now that I’m an East Texas resident, I was thinking about trying it for some Bluesy / Zydeco groovin. Maybe kick out the jams at summer BBQs, etc.
  21. Lisle & Hahn.
  22. Go slumming at The Rooftop and get back to me. (R.I.P Deenie’s Hideaway...)
  23. Everytime I’ve been in Lauderdale, I have sinned mightily. That dude might have done the same and was offering his penance upon leaving that wonderfully wicked town.
  24. Still trying to get used to Lufkin drivers here. I hope I’m not driving the same roads as she is.....
  25. Based upon OP’s description, Savannah could totally work for a full week. Take in the District, do the kitschy stuff, do the fine dining stuff, time to debauch, time to relax, lots of safe walking, historic day trips, Tybee Island, take some tours, do the museums, party with the natives, etc., etc. People always try to cram shit into their vacations and wear themselves out. I usually enjoy just staying put (wherever) and just absorbing the town...good or bad. Although...the Savannah / Charleston double feature recommended above is a solid rec as well, if you’re one of those restless travelers.
