  1. PSA: Darren Woods will be on Bret Baier on Monday. I hope he’s asked about outsourcing, but given the preview, I think it’s going to focus primarily on crude and gasoline prices.
  2. Burnt is the spiritual prequel to The Bear.
  3. Pretty solid lunch at Carrabba’s on Kirby. Johnny of course opened the door for me, haha. Veal marsala with tagliarini picchi pacchiu. Best damn pasta I’ve had a long time, but the veal cutlets could have been bigger. I should have taken a picture because they plated it well. I’ll be back for osso buco on Wednesdays.
  4. This is so weird, I couldn’t tell you if I like or hate it. Given the $85 price tag, I probably wouldn’t recommend it. Maybe, maybe it’d be a fun one to pull out at a tasting.
  5. Regardless, we’ve probably seen Ward get burned in a Texans uniform for the last time. Good riddance and I hope everyone is OK.
  6. He could get plenty of house/big lot in one of the Memorial villages.
  7. Imagine making $10 million a year and choosing to commute from Magnolia to NRG.
  8. Just when I thought Brooks’ contact sucked, I looked up Devin Vassell’s deal. The Suns should be placed in a conservatorship if Ishbia accepts Vassell, Barnes, and the 14th pick for KD.
  9. I worked the following restaurant jobs. All were somewhat miserable. - Busboy at Willie’s Icehouse - Sandwich artist at Subway - To go “waiter” at Pappasito’s - Waiter at a small Italian restaurant I’d say the Italian restaurant was the most similar to The Bear. A little Sicilian chef/owner with a lot of gambling and drug demons in his past. I have no idea how he secured a loan or if it’s was legal. He ran the place on razor thin margins before it went under. Very hectic kitchen smaller than most people’s office. It always got hot as shit back there. The stove/ovens, dishwasher, and the chef would crack the window to smoke a cigarette. All of the waitresses were bitchy and treated the busboy/dishwasher like shit. No HR to be found anywhere. We’d have a small staff meal before shift. He’s usually make the specials and let us try them. Really good guy, but he had a temper and talked a lot of shit. Great chef. Best lobster bisque I’ve ever tasted. He landed on his feet and got a plum job running the kitchen/catering at a racetrack in Texas. Full benefits and a steady salary are a Godsend for people in his field. I’m happy for him.
  10. I think you need to have worked in a restaurant to enjoy large stretches of Season 1. It feels like they were making art and they didn’t care if anybody liked it.
  11. I’m ashamed to admit I’ve only eaten there a few times, and it was back when I worked at the Capitol. My patronage leaves something to be desired. I love that Tarantino filmed on location there. I had a professor that held court there every Thursday. He always invited the whole class. Never took him up on it because well I had better shit to do, and I didn’t want to leave my car on a meter overnight. I hope some students did join him, and they had a good time swapping stories.
  12. Klosterman talks The Rehearsal on Bill Simon’s latest podcast. Best explanation of the show I’ve ever heard. He almost makes it make sense. Almost.
  13. I would trade 10 for unprotected first in the future. OR KD Shams threw Giannis trade rumors in an ice bath today.
  14. The last 4 episodes of Clone Wars are very cinematic. Well worth your time. Disney could have made some money showing it in theaters.
  15. It won’t work, but they don’t have a choice. They’re not going to beat Texas, Georgia, and Ohio State for Texas 5 stars. Fasusi might be it for a long while.
  16. 3 star. Track background. Good genes. High upside. Ah the Rhule Model. We’ll see if they can nail their evaluations, retain, and develop. Checks notes, Jerry “Puke Bucket” Schmidt is still their S&C Coach. Ok, let’s forget about player development
  17. Cheese enchiladas still good? If it’s going the way of the dinosaurs, I’d like get one more plate in.
  18. Put that fanbase in a straight jacket if Texas gets a 5 star DL from University Lab. That high school is on LSU’s campus.
  19. Never change Cletus. That said, I bet he visits Ole Miss and MS State in November and IT posters piss their pants for a couple days.
  20. Classy way to send out the GOAT. I hope he continues to do weekly picks and they read them on the air for him. His speech is failing, but there’s still a sharp mind in there.
  21. Only team in baseball that can’t score from first on a double.
  22. Yeah, Game Theory said both were unlikely to accept, but that’s what they’d offer. Said 4 years $95-105 million was the sweet spot for Jabari.
  23. The Spurs thread is a trip. Those assholes think they can trade a couple spares and the 14th pick for KD.
  24. The Adams were openly weeping about the OL on the drive home. Basically said we’re doomed again. R-e-l-a-x it’s June.
  25. Old Fitz 7 remains elusive. Second online order canceled. A polite suggestion, it might be a good idea to remove it from your app.
