  1. They’d have to the thread the needle to not make it some Travolta-Gotti disaster, but Italian-American John Cena could potentially pull off a mob movie. Tommy Karate would be my first thought. It’d take a lot of makeup and the Donnie Brasco’s set designers, but it’s plausible. The window is closing. Cena looks every bit of 48 facially. Karate’s resume: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Pitera
  2. The Ranger’s Rice uniforms are worse than the Res Sox’s yellow bullshit uniforms.
  3. I like an extremely cheap cheese enchilada. The ingredients probably cost the restaurant about 10 cents per plate. Therefore, the Los Tios Birthday enchilada is my favorite. 50 cents per enchilada.
  4. This. They’ve never progressed as characters. They never scored, never got jobs. To see them with old man problems is just sad.
  5. I’m pretty sure the Wheel Horse release is a one off, so I’ll speak it into existence. It’s tastes a lot like Buffalo Trace Kosher Wheat.
  6. The funny thing is, Kawhi probably wants to get his contract voided so he and Uncle Dennis can get paid again. He is 100% going to lawyer up if the league comes after his Aspiration money. Equally funny, Kawhi and Uncle Dennis having to testify in a bankruptcy trial.
  7. The NBA is funny. Sterling said some vile racist things, but committed no crimes. Broke no league rules. Forced to sell the team. Ballmer likely committed fraud and broke numerous league rules. Probably keeps the team after paying a fine, shipping Kawhi out, and surrendering draft picks.
  8. Was Vargo’s good or was it more of a prom picture spot? Better than modern day Brenner’s?
  9. Starchy. I got fat shamed in the Whataburger thread for my go to order, and this is a prime target, but I’ll rise above it. Their CFS is good, but I always thought their chicken fried chicken was slightly better. Their okra and mac and cheese is damned good.
  10. Now that I think about it, I’m not sure they thawed it out before breading it back in the day. I’m not sure how you bread frozen fish, but I suppose it can be done. Skipping a step probably saves them a shit of time and money , but I feel bad for their customers. People routinely drove an hour in one direction to get the fish.
  11. I can’t recommend that location. Been a couple times and it’s not good. OST has better food and for some reason the portions are bigger too. I’m sure I’ve listed my go to order in this thread before, but here goes: Luann roasted chicken with stuffing and cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, green beans with bacon and onion, jalapeño cornbread with Cajun Chef, and icebox chocolate cake. I recently found out the Downtown Houston location serves breakfast pretty early. I’m going to stop by next I’m down there. I’ll report back.
  12. It’s completely possible the fish they’re serving now is prebreaded, and they just throw the planks in the fryer.
  13. I worked a summer at Luby’s. To-go “waiter”. Fried fish was far and away the most popular item. Especially on Sundays. It’s always been frozen. They’d take big blocks of haddock and cut them with a band saw into planks. I believe they’d thaw them in the fridge, bread it, fry it, and put it on the mine as needed. I can never remember us running out of fish, so they had a shit ton of it.
  14. OST location? Yes, indeed.
  15. This is a winner at $40. No idea on the availability. Spec’s had it in the pseudo back room.
  16. Dana Carvey stirred the pot some on the most recent Fly on the Wall episode. He said it wasn’t Heidi’s decision to leave the show.
  17. Yep. I agree. Shane complains about hot it is in Austin at least once on every single social media post.
  18. I always assumed it was inevitable.
  19. My body is ready.
  20. My parents and grandparents usually bribed me with JCI to go to church. I think the Sunday special was like $1.50 per chili-cheese dog. When I met my wife they still had the Sunday special. We’d go there after church. Good times.
  21. His pizza reviews are entertaining, but after hearing some of the inside baseball details they’re not very authentic. The pizzerias almost always are notified beforehand that Dave is coming by. So the fifth generation pizza maker/owner is making Dave’s pizza instead of the usual line cook from Central America.
  22. The marketing has been odd. The uniformed probably think this another remake of Man on Fire.
  23. Listening to The Athletic’s NBA Daily show right now. Torre appears to have them dead to rights. 7 sources at Aspiration, thousands of pages of evidence.
