  1. There's Cook's Corner at the intersection of Santiago Canyon and Live Oak Canyon, which isn't far from Lake Forest. It's a biker bar, but not the 1% type -- mostly average people who just like to ride Harleys and other motorcycles. It's a rustic bar/restaurant with a laid back atmosphere that can get crowded, esp. on weekends and very esp. on weekends when the sun is shining. Not a bad place to hang out on a sunny SoCal afternoon and have a couple beers. I would go on off hours and during the week if possible.
  2. Who the fuck are the Elks?
  3. Oregon has 7 total at present. EDIT: And as soon as I post that, they have #8 drafted.
  4. The new kickoff rules helped him, IMO.
  5. Jaylan Ford to NO. That's nine Texas draftees so far, I believe.
  6. Wonder why Tampa slid so far. Does he have some kind of health issue? He was nails pretty much every time I saw ISU play the past couple seasons.
  7. Jared Wiley to the Chefs
  8. Man, the Bucs really blew it. The synchronicity would have been off the charts.
  9. The Bucs have to pick T.J. Tampa, don't they? Shouldn't that be a law or something? EDIT: Apparently not.
  10. Don't recall hearing about attitude issues with AD, but I know I would sometimes get frustrated with his lack of effort blocking and his sometimes-lazy route running. Dude certainly has NFL size, speed, and other traits, but there were also holes in his game. Mid second round is about right. Hope he does well in the League.
  11. As a Cubs fan, let me just say that no Cubs lead is safe with Chicago's bullpen. None. Nada.

    Ship of Fools
  13. I have to laugh because it's Boone getting run. OTOH, it's pretty alarming when Wendelstedt can say "I don't care who it was" and he knows there likely won't be any repercussions for him.
  14. Better warn him that it could be, uh, malodorous while he's there . . .
  15. Why does he hate his family?
  16. I do not understand how Drew Smyly remains in the bigs. Sweartogod he gives up a dinger almost every time he pitches.
  17. Got a recommendation from that brand? My local place often has several types of Vago in stock, but I have no clue which one offers the most bang for the buck.
  18. Ilegal Joven is literally the only bottle of mezcal I've ever purchased. It's definitely smoky, but because I have never had any other mezcal, I cannot say whether it is more or less smoky than most other brands. I don't dislike the Ilegal, but I have to be in a mood for something smoky in order to drink it.
  19. Mark Leiter of the Cubs gets 3 outs on 2 piches. That's pretty efficient.

    I gotta go with Skynyrd's cover of Call Me The Breeze, but Get Out Of Denver is really, really good, too.
  21. Those Buck 110s are burly. I've got one, but I don't carry it too often in part because of the weight. My mother-in-law gifted me the Schrade Uncle Henry that her second husband carried for years before he passed away. It's a USA-made Schrade (prior to 2004) and is about the same damn knife as the Buck except the pins are flush with the handle, the blade shape is a little different, and the steel is 440A instead of the Buck's 420C. I love messing around with both of those knives.
