  1. I used to buy tickets all the time on stubhub. Only a few times in the last few years. I would always make sure they were Instant Download, which meant they were all ready to go. Not sure if it the same these days.

    I shot Brisket a text about this.  The last time I did something like this was with Troph, HaydenHorn and Anastasis 14 years ago.  

    I might regret it but then again, how often does someone get to ride in a car with such pompous bloviators?

    A road trip with Brisketexan less than a month before the election. Please shoot me.

    I didn’t like theirs as much as Dziuks tbh. They didn’t seem to use as fine of a grind which made it harder to dip the saltines without breaking 

    IMO Dziuks is too cheesy.

    Speaking of San Antonio and meats etc.  Tri county meat market is pretty awesome.  They get their steaks from Bolners.   Not cheap but damn good quality.  Their freezers have all kinds of great stuff from purveyors all over South Texas.  

    Before you mentioned them, I was going to say they have better Parisa than Dzuiks, and they are in San Antonio. I would put Tri-County, then Country Mart in D'Hanis, then Alvarez, then Dzuiks. Silver Creek in Hondo has some but can't remember if I've had theirs. I do like that place though.

    Where does throwing to Cook up 42-7 in the 4th fall on the class scale? To be clear, I’m not opposed and I understand why, but not everyone sees it that way. There are plenty of people who saw Sarkisian’s continuing to press into the 4th quarter the same way you see what Tennessee did. 

    When you sign a contract with these cupcakes for early season games, you write this in the contract...

    "For your $1.5 million, you have to be ok with us running our normal offense late in the game when we are up by 50 points as a tune-up for our real opponents."

    I met loopy at a CA bowl game.  I can't remember if it was Rose or Holiday.  He was with a handful of other guys that all piled in a van and made the drive straight-thru.   Loopy was cool as shit.

    One of that group...a younger black dude (I can't remember his handle but he was a known poster), being a younger dude and therefore a dumbshit, came out without anything other than a Tshirt. It was chlly.  I had an extra burnt orange lined-windbreaker and I donated it to him.  He was very appreciative.  I hate that I can't remember his handle. 

    Rode in a car from Vegas to the USC Rose Bowl with Loopy driving. He was the most careful driver ever. Figured it had to do with keeping his record clean for his job.

    Orvieto is cool little walled hilltop town and an easy day trip from Rome.  1:15 min train ride from Rome, then you get dropped off right next to the Funicolare that you ride to the top of the hill.   There is a great Duomo, underground tunnels, a museum, several churches, and great views of the surrounding area.   There are lots of solid food options, I visited in July 7ish years ago and it wasn't crowded at all.   There are tons of travel videos about it now on YouTube.

    It is known for white wine, which when it is 90+ degrees outside is nice.  

    We did a month in Italy. Orvieto was one of my favorite places we went. We only stayed there 1 night. We were in the area to check out Civita di Bagnoregio, a little hill town accessible only by a walking bridge (or scooter). We would like to go back to Orvieto along with Lucca. We only spent a few hours in Lucca, getting off a train going towards Cinque Terra. It was a cool town. IMO both places are better than Siena. 

  8. Just spent 6 months on the windward side (east)  of Oahu, but did spend 2 months on the North Shore a couple years ago.

    Paalaa Kai Mini-Mart - They have some quick food ready to go. Love their Spicy Shrimp Rolls. Plenty of shrimp inside and plenty of sauce where they are not dry. Also tried their fried oysters that had this great mustard sauce that went with it.

    Waialua General Store - Good poke and once a week they cook a steak plate in their parking lot that is very good.

    Foodland - If you just want some reasonable poke its very good. Typically I would get the Maui Onion.

    Ted's Bakery - I thought they had the best Garlic Shrimp. Big plump shrimp. Their Chicken Katsu is also good.

    Haleiwa Joes' - Have only been to their Kaneohe location. Their prime rib is good. It is big enough for two. Their other stuff is meh. Their other steaks are horrible if you are there too late for the prime rib.

    Duke's - A must go. We went the last week we were there. Prime Rib was great. Pasta special was great. Everything was great. Great atmosphere.

    Hula Grill - Same owner as Duke's I believe, it is right above it.

    Leonard's - Malasadas (Portuguese donuts) Their main location usually has a long line. We go to one of their truck's around. I like their cinnamon sugar ones with no filling.

    Ulalani's Shave Ice - I am not a snow cone guy but this is really good. There is one with long lines on North Shore called Matsumoto, but I found it wasn't worth going to.

    Mountain Magic Shave Ice - probably as good as Ulalani's

    I love Loco Mocos, probably had them at 7 or 8 different places. None of them really stood out as on another level. You can't really go wrong ordering on a menu.

    Beaches are cool on North Shore to sit and watch surfers and a sunset. Sunset Beach, Ehukai (Pipeline). But we used to go to Aweoweo Beach Park every afternoon just to relax and get in the water. It doesn't have the big waves coming in and you can do a little snorkeling if you want. Not a whole lot of people. Kailua Beach on the windward side is probably my favorite beach to just enjoy the beauty and relax, get in the water, other scenery.
