  1. Yeah, because he has good extracurriculars
  2. I am lucky that I get to travel for work. I explored (and will continue to explore) parts of cities I would have never entered 15 years ago. I am convinced that the explosion and acceptance of more ethnic foods and the search for culinary authenticity is largely a result of Bourdain's influence. Andy Ricker, Roy Choi, David Chang..the list goes on and on Not to mention the TV guys like Zimmern, Ripert, Costintino, even Tesar all owe Bordain a HUGE amount of credit for where and who they are. Hell, FlavorTown owes him a HUGE debt of gratitude for the press alone. Just trying too capture his influence on food and travel, and his influence on me is hard to put in words. I kind of feel like I lost my guide. As soon as our kids are out of the house my wife and I are going to vagabond it around world capitals for 10-15 years. Largely because of how small I realized our worldview was based on some of Bourdains work. I read he was found by Ripert. That just fucking sucks man.
  3. Jesus This one actually effects me hard. I believed so strongly in his work that travel and exploration has become an ethos for me. I have tried and experienced so much more in life because of the influence of his writings and shows. I felt his narration was brilliant and his storytelling was only getting better. This really really sucks.
  4. Doesn’t look like the Caps gonna Caps. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
  5. That kick to stick was sick.
  6. Let me see if I understand We are only getting JS because we are paying, but if they “match” then he leans aggy. JenniferLawrenceOK.gif
  7. Story about it in AusChron https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2018-06-08/sudden-death-for-mckalla-place/?mc_cid=e28b8b547c&mc_eid=ad7ce3c720
  8. When is the vote on this thing?
  9. The stadium rendition looks outstanding. Not sure how even the CC could fuck this up - but I’m sure they will find a way to do so.
  10. Oh ya. That place was great.
  11. I think he is mostly focusing on the fact that you are a Cliff Clavin know-it-all cunt that seems to take pleasure in being a wet blanket.
  12. Begin Sunshine: I know there is some bad news recency bias here, but we just picked up Jake Fucking Smith. We havent won out of state contests like that in a long time. We will win some and lose some, but the fact that we are now trying is very encouraging.
  13. Yep. Textbook narcissist. And probably a sociopath.
  14. Unfortunately, I think they need someone who is comfortable talking shit. Trump is going to fling a shy ton of feces and stupid nicknames that the dotards will eat up. Being above it won’t work. I think Biden is the guy and could get in the mud with Dotard.
  15. Pretty solid characterization
  16. The most interesting part is that this was a counter to most of the Philadelphia Eagles not showing up to a whites house visit. They actually thought this was a better idea. Let that sink in.
  17. He is like the leader from the Simpsons.
  18. Oh look. He found a way to make it about himself. That’s new...
  19. It’s amazing. They literally hate it and get so fucking mad. In 1995 a guy that was maybe half my size and 40 years older than me said “if you say that again I’m going to ask you to step outside” We were already standing outside of the tackle box. Idiot. Anyway I looked at him and said it again and he charged at me and took a swing. But he missed and fell. I laughed so fucking hard. His fat wife went on and on about disrespect etc. We got out of there after that because the police were starting to walk over.
  20. It was pretty consistently chanted the day James Brown beat aggy on one leg. In fact it started a fight at field level.
  21. I think Doc finally ran out of nouns “Everywhere you look they are standing and waving those red....things”
  22. Just awesome hustle and then finish by Smith-Pelly Tom Wilson does not get the benefit of the doubt at all. Looked like they pushed his head in the ice there while he was Dow.
  23. If K graduation is for the moms how do we explain the stupid ass 5th grade and 8th grade “graduations” I attended last week. Who the hell were those for. The kids didn’t give a shit.
