  1. B&W cookie at Pasticceria Rocco is pretty good on your way back to Joe's.
  2. Coincidently enough, I had a Joe's (West Vill location) vs Bleecker Street slice-off on Friday and Joe's won, but Bleecker does have more seating.
  3. I don't understand why B&W cookies didn't expand much beyond the NE and Mid-Atlantic. Babka is amazing, but too Jewish for the rest of the country. Everyone can understand and enjoy a B&W cookie.
  4. And they've never been anywhere else or know anyone else from a foreign country (outside Latin America) to dispute it.
  5. I have a MAGA uncle who is on 100% disability due to being fat during Desert Storm when he was stationed in Saudi Arabia and hurting his knees and back. He continually sends letters to my place of employment (bank that he doesn't have an account with) addressed to our CEO because one of our locations in the Lubbock area has a flagpole that doesn't have a flag on it. I guess he just drives around Lubbock all day looking for flag code violations and other things to be mad about.
  6. Survived another trip without getting shoved or stabbed. Did see an older dude get his knee blown up by a biker while jaywalking. Biker just looked back with disgust and kept on going.
  7. Spent a lot of time this weekend just talking to people in the city organically. Had a wonderful time with the volunteers at the Merchant House Museum by NYU. They care so much about the place and spent around 30 minutes talking to me and the mrs. about the museum and everything from gardening to the laws of thermodynamics. Even gave us some merch for free and we can't recommend the place enough. Quote of the conversation when they asked where we're from and we said Texas was, "Well that's certainly a place." Talked to a bus boy at an Argentinian Restaurant (Estancia Piola) in Brooklyn who is from Puebla for a bit about his commute from Queens and the struggle to survive in the city. On the opposite side of the spectrum, we talked to the owner of the restaurant who was really trying very hard and had fantastic food if you're ever in the neighborhood. Her husband owns the dive next door. Finally on the drive to EWR today we talked to a Dominican who lives in Yonkers with a good union construction job that drives for uber/Lyft 7 days a week just to keep it going. He loves the city but still makes it a point to go back to Santo Domingo every few months for some vacation. The people in the city are so much friendlier than they get credit for. Buena Vista Social Club was fantastic by the way.
  8. Do we get a trial like his?
  9. Also, in hilariousness from The Onion
  10. Well it was a fun half
  11. Didn't see that coming especially for a kicker who seemingly has been there since 1994
  12. Well there's that
  13. 3 possession game and your offense looks to be threatening in general
  14. Haven't been keeping up as closely as usual but damn that A&M only playing the bottom half of the SEC graphic lol
  15. I didn't expect a bunch of 2nd rate golfers to be the best at picking CFB coaches.
  16. How much of recruiting has been replaced by "here is a bag of cash", which Arkansas is thought to be about B12 level and not SEC level in football?
  17. I like Zucker's, but I live in Waco so...
  18. Checking in a week from today and I'll be sure and throw a huge fit if we don't get the same upgrade. "This is an outrage! I know txduck87!"
  19. Nope, but I also don't feel like switching to another provider. I feel like I'm kind of over college sports right now anyway and I can buy individual packages for the Spurs and Austin FC so don't really have to spend more there. Dallas Stars' Victory+ is free too.
  20. Day 1 purchase for me if I can get an order in.
  21. We need more ledgemen and fewer optimists like @Brisketexan
  22. Right when Trump, Tucker, et al. were trying to normalize him and his Nazi shit.
  23. "Americans just need to get over their sex taboo" "Childhood is a recent and woke idea"
