Well that would truly be a metaphysical miracle, gringo, considering the fact that El Moderno has been closed for a decade. Like some weird twist on The Shining with Carta Blanca.

Well, maybe we’ll just have to agree to disagree but, I’ll leave you with this. I’m on team Texas Chili Parlor and you’re on team TGIFridays. When Guy Clark sings one day “Well I wish I was in Norman… at TGIFridays,” I’ll briefly reconsider my position. When that day arrives you’ll still be wrong.

This is like playing cards with my brothers kids or something. I’m embarrassed that I have to spell all this out. This works three ways. THREE WAYS assholes. 1. If you like the individual nacho bite approach, what you really like (but are ignorant of) is a cooked chalupa cut into 4-6 pieces by a large knife. I call these pieces “nachos” (each individually a “nacho”). Build the chalupa, cook the chalupa, cut the chalupa. Maybe sprinkle on some peppers or pico at the end. Serve sour cream and guacamole on the side. Somewhere there exists a man named Ignacio and this product is his original creation. 2. If you like the pile of chips with a pile of stuff on top of it, what you really like is a lazy chef who probably learned to cook in the navy or Waffle House. It’s his (or her or they/them) “Mexican” twist on “shit on a shingle.” Edible yes - even tasty, but pretty much a pain in the ass to eat as stated by previous posters. Often times you get cold ass soggy chips on the bottom. This person should stick to serving seven layer dip or queso with chips. Maybe make a casserole. Their product is not nachos. It does share the same ingredients. 3. Oklahomans and the slow witted who cant figure out number 1 so they take chips and create individual nachos, 1 at a time. I applaud these people for aiming at excellence but ultimately they are ignorant and destined for failure and humiliation. Now carry on.

All these Comic book themed movies are contributing to the downfall of humanity. Batman, Thor… Yes, life can be hard but no superhero is going to come save anything and, if one did, he would just get greedy, arrogant and would end up being on the damned Kardashian show. Inevitable letdown. Captain American can FO too.

Wind buffeting and jet wash coming off the back off a Porsche going 195 seems like it could be an issue. i guess the good news is at 189 you won’t be in a hospital bed complaining about broken bones and road rash. Just put the wet pieces in a body bag and the rest in a dumpster.

Sounds like monkey pox.

Question for motorcylists on this board. What is the smallest thing that could go wrong for bike guy that would be fatal? Hit a large bug like a cicada? Rock flies up from porsche? Random sparrow swoops down and causes you to flinch? Obviously a front tire flat or something that causes rear wheel to lock up probably does you in but think small. What is the smallest thing? Also, winding down from 189, you don't use the brakes right? Just ease off the gas and engine brake on down until what? 100?

Salet needs more ranch but other than that this is pitch perfect. Got all the food groups covered.

I can vouch for the Miller’s chicken fried steak breakfast. You won’t want to do much after that.

Didn’t you guys try to lighten the crew load a few years back in this race? Let’s not try that again. Anything big or real fast signed up this year? Do the Devos folks still have a race boat?

You got room for 1 more? I won’t fuck anything up - promise.

Leaving early July to travel far away from this hot state. Country requiring us to get NAA or PCR covid tests. Flying out of DFW. Any suggestions on where we should schedule that and how quickly we can get results?

Italian meat sauce huh? Wife likes it, huh? Think I'll stick to the sammiches.

Clary’s was the cat’s ass. Order flounder - a whole flounder. Eat the top half half and the waiter comes over with a fork and knife - lifts out the spine and bones in one shot - now eat the bottom half you sweaty tourist. What will we do for entertainment when all we have left are chains and Sysco?

If you want a big badass Italian sammich, Cossettas in St P is the place. Not the uppity restaurant on the roof but the first floor deli/grocery.

I remember a night game in Austin where a nice young man did that horns down shit right in front of me after scoring a touch down. Maclin was his name and I believe the year was 2008. Then… his team lost.

How about Bronco burrito? Are they still slingin’ hash in that dive? I could go for a bronco.

What’s the restaurant like at the Moody Gardens hotel? I’ve been to the other places mentioned, but never there. whatever happened to Clary’s? That place was a timecapsule.

Went to a restaurant in Memphis once. Beale street. They served me French fries covered in seafood gumbo. No shit. It ain’t France, it ain’t Cajun, and it ain’t in the coast, but somehow there that’s a thing. https://bluescitycafe.com/menu/our-menu/ Also, there’s a donut shop there that’s on point. But, alas, the q does t do it for me.

Anyone got anything on Anguilla? Anything at all? Current issues are: Rent a car or nah? Make reservations? Where? Is there a such thing as a family friendly beach bar? what is a can’t miss/gotta do it excursion?

My take is different. WW2 is a huge monument, but something about it to me feels less personal. Korea at night, lighted up, is awe inspiring. You almost can place yourself there, then. Vietnam is just special in a way that words can't capture. As you approach you hear a lot of sights and sounds, sirens and buses, sounds of the city. But as you descend (it's sort of below grade) a strange silence comes where you can hear a few birds, but the city fades away, and it's just you, quiet people remembering and grieving the loss, and this cold black wall of granite with too many names. That one, I always feel bad leaving, guilty walking away like somehow it deserves more time. I can't imagine what the 2nd place proposal for the Vietnam memorial looked like, but this has to be the finest memorial in the world.

Great city. Ebbit grill - it ain’t Michelin 3 star gastroscience with anise foam and truffle puffs - but it’s cool - sit at the bar, order crab cakes and drink beer. Black and Tan, half and half - all that pub stuff. The proper way to do that place is at the bar and, if you can hit a holiday (I went 3/17), they’ll party hard. Had a bagpipe and drum duo. From there you can walk to: the theater where Lincoln was shot the mall which has a whole lot of everything from Da Vinci art at the National Art Gallery to the Korean War memorial (my number 1) to food trucks. the White House (or the episcopal church across the street which gives tours - Lincoln was Presbyterian I think but attended there). bar on the roof of W hotel has a good view but it’s a little uppity. Lobby of the Willard hotel where Grant used to chill (and the battle hymn of the republic was written). Or 1,000 other cool things. My suggestion is read up and figure out what really interests you and then try to select things to do near each other. For example Smithsonians and mall memorials - all within walking distance of each other. White house and Ford’s theater, archive and Art gallery - walking distance of each other. Great city.

Where’s the they supposed to be SEC gif?

Just booked Anguilla. I bet they don’t know good cheese enchiladas from the hole in their asses down there.
