  1. Flat earther guy is gold, believes every conspiracy theory known to man.
  2. Fascinating read on expeditionportal, spent way too much reading it. thanx for the links
  3. No, but I have one for naughty France. Thanks, I'll be here all week, don't forget to tip the waitresses!
  4. Won't bore you with the story, but Thais are apparently big on saving face. They can't leave corch alone.
  5. Chiffon "If you think it's butter, but it's not...it's Chiffon!
  6. Oh and there are moose in those parts, don't believe there are elk. Caribou in spots, especially northward. The dude that worked for the pilot of the float plane I've charted a few times used to go moose hunting every Fall. A good moose will fill up a chest freezer, maybe more. He would also have a keg of beer shipped from Anchorage every year, I think via the yearly barge from Anchorage. My best friend and I did some damage to one one evening when we were socked in because of bad weather. We tipped him well though.
  7. Dillingham actually has a pretty nice grocery store. Of course it’s as expensive as all get out. Expect to pay 2-3 times for dry goods what you pay in the lower 48. Meat & dairy even more expensive.
  8. had that cassette back in the day
  9. Where the hell is Bobby Layne on that list?
  10. Well that escalated quickly...
  11. Aldi's in Carrollton sells beer & wine. They sell some Dutch made beer under store brands that are close to other beers. Broegel is their bock beer, the label looks like Shiner Bock. It's not bad, tastes like an Euro version of SB. They also have beers similar to Pilsner Urquell, Heineken, and maybe Becks.
  12. You're equating gays with Nazis?
  13. I've had current laptop for about 3 months, I live in DFW area, and use Windows10 Home with Microsoft Edge as the browser. About a week ago I clicked on espn.com from the prompt in the address window (have accessed the site numerous times before). I get then directed to espn.com.ar I can manually type "espn.com" in the address window but I'm always directed to the Argentine edition. I'm sure Argentina is swell country and all, but I would prefer the good ol' U.S. version that's in English and covers American sports, not just soccer, tennis & motor sports. Any help would be appreciated. And if I get one "Don't cry for me" crack...
  14. Casinos, right across the river. Speaking of “right across the river” and WF dining, there are/were catfish restaurants located just across the Red River in a few places in the WF sphere of influence; Bill’s in Waurika, The Peach Orchard in Terral and (back in the day)Tinker’s across the Red from Burkburnett. It was said that back in the day, they were set up for Texans because the beer drinking age for girls was 17 when it was 18 in TX. Don’t know if it was true or not, but Bill’s is popular to this day for Wichitans to make a weekend visit. I try to visit there every few years when I have WF duty.
  15. Swinging thru WF this weekend for a family weekend at Lake Kemp. I'll swing by; hopefully they sell growlers?
  16. P2 has tables... Fun fact, P2 was considered a “stag bar” back in the day, not in the strip club sense, but it was pretty much “male only” during daylight hours. Many WF power brokers (doctors, attys, judges, oilmen, etc) would go there, get hammered at lunch and eventually make it back to the office. If womenfolk went to P2, they (and their man) would stay in the parking lot and get curb service.
  17. I had a love/hate relationship with Stanley’s beanie burger; loved it when I ordered it and ate the first few bites, hated it a couple hours later. P2 is a WF institution; steak on garlic with a red draw for the win.
  18. "Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a colloquial term used for an experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine." -Wikepedia Basically any massage or pleasing sight/sound that makes the back of your neck tingle. YouTube has a shit ton of these videos. Supposed to help the viewer relax and maybe help them nod off to sleep. Lots of Indian (dot) videos from barbers/masseuses.
