  1. I'm a bit evangelistic about this, so forgive me for repeating this. Ideal burger has (on the bottom bun) mayo mixed in with shredded lettuce and shredded cheddar, which not only is a good flavor combo, but is a good barrier between the patty and the bottom bun to keep the bottom bun from getting soggy. Next you have the patty. Pickles on top of that with ketchup to hold them in place. Two slices of tomato over that (seasoned with salt and pepper). Next, you've got chopped onions mixed with a little mustard and a light swipe of mustard on the top bun. Toasted buns enhances this further.
  2. Agreed. We stopped at the one in Hutto on the way home from Austin once, and while it wasn't earth shattering, it was worth the stop.
  3. MOAR TEENJUS! I die laughing every time he says it.
  4. One summer during college, a friend and I had a job without much supervision. We went to the Men's Club in Houston for lunch. He got an overpriced shrimp cocktail and I got the best damned chicken tenders I've ever had in my life. Not a bad way to spend a four-hour lunch break on a Friday as a 22 year old.
  5. Go on, pick it son! Make it count now!
  6. Hickory is fine. It burns pretty consistently like oak does. But the flavor is definitely more distinct. I like it, but it's one of those flavors I can pick out really easily compared to other woods. I prefer pecan. It's more subtle (almost sweet). But it burns a little more quickly than hickory or oak. So unless you have a lot of it and can get it at a reasonable price, it's less economical.
  7. There is no best. But the fact that Jerry Reed hasn't been mentioned yet when Dave Matthews has been mentioned (even in jest) is a crime.
  8. In the days of my youth, I was taught what it means to be a man. It was a beautiful day. The sun beat down. I had the radio on. I was driving. I was born in a crossfire-hurricane.
  9. Not sure on the hickory question, but I definitely was pretty underwhelmed with the place when I tried while traveling back to east Texas from DFW. Maybe I just caught an off-day. Best to him in retirement. Don't mean to be a dick. But I'm kind of a dick. Edit to add that Stanley's in Tyler uses pecan, which is in the hickory family.

  11. The Law firm founded by one of my closest childhood friends, who hopefully will be coming to his first game at DKR this fall (and to the Surly Tailgate), just sued the administration this week on behalf of IMLS.
  12. This one is off to a ripping start.
  13. The Sphere is probably the coolest concert venue EVER. I saw Phish there a year ago. It's almost like I never really need to do it again. I mean, David Byrne Okay. But for the most part, I kind of want to see some outdoor shows again.
  14. I once hit a man in Dearborn, Michigan. A hit and run. I hit him and just kept on going. I don't know if he's alive or dead. But I'm sorry. Not a day goes by I don't see his face.
  15. That hurt, Ellen.
  16. I don't think the next one will be. /I'm not saying I agree. But I understand - Chris Rock
  17. More like the rental car company taking the reservation for a full-sized vehicle but not holding the reservation. Damn it.
  18. . . . meat added?
  19. Are you suggesting that the person who proclaimed to be Don Ho and with whom I sang "Tiny Bubbles" that evening in 1983 was an impostor? Also, in the handshake game, that puts me one handshake away from one Hervé Jean-Pierre Villechaize .
  20. Tough, but fair (Meat added).
  21. I haven't been to Hawaii in over 40 years. But on my last trip, I sang with Don Ho. Sometimes I wonder how the girl's life turned out. Thanks for the bubbly, Don. /I had lines and everything (edit: not those kind of lines, but the spoken kind). They came out into the audience (dinner situation) and asked me if I wanted to be in the show. They didn't ask my parents, and neither did I. My mom just had noticed I wasn't at the table and was frantically looking for me when she saw me walking across the stage.

    1. Did you have to do their stupid human tricks while on the boat? I'd definitely try to refuse that theoretically. 2. If creatine is the marker, why do you consume so much pre-sample. I had a friend do the same thing (along with a month of abstention), and she had no problems. I'm satisfied with "SCIENCE" as he answer, but . . .
  23. Extra cheese? Nickle beer? Free appetizer? BOGO Lap Dances?
