I’m not dismissing what happened two weeks ago. DC looks like an armed camp. With so many National Guardsmen posted there, I still pray nothing happens, but I know some fringe groups might start something. No, there was also a nut job named Gramper who believed 12/12/12 was gonna be Doomsday...

Medium well for me. I like some pink, but I want it dead. Snowthy, you would’ve liked my dad. Give him a bloody prime rib, he was in his glory. I tried steak tartare once, couldn’t enjoy it. Alex, if you get a steak sub, like a Philly cheese steak, it’s sliced really thin and cooked all the way...

What if tomorrow turns out to be like Y2K and nothing happens? Some of you might be too young to remember, but on that day, the world was going to end. On November 11.2011 (11/11/11) the world was supposed to end, but didn’t. In December 12, 2012,(12/12/12) the world was supposed to end , but...

This was me , to a degree, in high school. Our school system had various tiers. Because I had good verbal skills, they stuck me in the highest tier, the Honors Level. Most of my friends were in A or B levels the slow learners like Bart were in Remedial. I didn’t hate the teachers in the Honors...

Yes, I like Outback too. Texas Roadhouse is good too. It’s not the same as when it opened. The waitstaff used to dress up in cowboy garb and line dance in the aisles. They also had buckets of peanuts on the table. You could throw the shells on the floor. I’m surprised how long they allowed that...

I don’t know if any of you have been there, there’s a chain called Longhorn Steakhouse. There’s one a mile from my house that burned down last night. I had my 50th birthday there. Two weeks ago my friend was in town. We were going to eat there. But there was an hour wait, so we went to...

I used to love bananas. When I was little, I couldn’t get enough of them. Do you know what turned me off? That Bert and Ernie clip of Ernie smashing up a banana and pouring brown gravy in it, and passing it off as chocolate ice cream. Over the years, I’ve tried to eat bananas again. I really...

Okay, I’m the only one who doesn’t run away from onions. Pickles, can’t do them. A few summers back, people were asking me to overcome my aversion to pickles. Okay, fine. I don’t mind trying things again you didn’t like when you were little. You’re older, your tastes change, you might like it...

I covered beer, now wine. I had one favorite wine called White Zinfandel (it’s actually a blush). A little sweet, but light. Dry wines are a little bitter, but some are good for cooking. Also in my college days, I dabbled in the cheap stuff. Boone’s Farm, Mad Dog 20/20, Night Train, and not for...

Tomatoes are like Kryptonite to me. Tomato sauce I can do, ketchup is okay, sun dried tomatoes are good. But sliced tomatoes, no.

That’s why my beer limit was two. You remind d me of one guy who was at a party. He had way too much ch to drink. He puked all over the place and passed out. While he was out cold, his roommates shaved his head. Drinking on campus was something the college administration knew about, but turned...

Back at n the early 80s, Gatorade had a short-lived offshoot called Gator Gum. You chew it and it gives you this intense citrus rush. Gum tends to lose its flavor pretty fast, but this one lasted.

I’ve chugged a lot of drinks, but not milk. Just the pressure when it hits your stomach causes a lot of gas. Gatorade goes down the easiest. I only did a beer bong once in college. It’s like trying to chug a six pack in ten seconds. It’s not gonna end well. But back in my college days, beer was...

I’ll tell you one thing that was pretty stupid to try. About ten years ago, kids were daring each other to eat a spoonful of cinnamon. Cinnamon is so fine, it’s easy to choke on or burn your sinuses. Two kids at work tried it, they both got rushed to the hospital. You can do it by mixing it...

The smaller the pepper, the hotter they are. One time we got a shipment of peppers in. These tiny little red things. I’m used to spicy stuff. I can do habaneros okay. I sliced one open, not too many seeds. That’s usually where the capsaicin is (the enzyme that makes peppers hot). My coworker and...

As far as eating while football is on, we made the mistake of going to Buffalo Wild Wings on a Sunday afternoon. Jam packed, and two different games on..

My go-to at Applebee’s is chicken tortilla soup, Fiesta lime chicken, and brisket tacos.

One thing I miss on Ruby Tuesday’s menu, they used to have an awesome bison burger. Chains vary if they serve bbq ribs, but theirs were pretty decent. One thing I noticed over the past 30 years. There are a number of chains that started out specializing in drinks- TGI Friday’s, Hooter’s...

I think it’s a little of both. Black shirts are easy to match, easy to buy, easy to wash. If you work anywhere in a restaurant, you’re gonna get dirty. Aprons help. By the end of your shift. You won’t believe how much crud spills on you.

Are you on a yearly lease or month-to-month?
