  1. It was insanely good but it was hard to justify 18 dollar pizza at the time. If my wife and I ended up getting married in Charlotte we would have had our reception there, they had an upstairs room for stuff like that. It was a little surreal to have Dan Morgan giving me a sales pitch. I can tell you he is certainly intense LOL The bartenders there that my friends and I would be with once a month or so were fantastic. The female looked like a supermodel but slummed it great around us. I was sad to see it close but the pizza prices were too damn high
  2. Judging by the commercials, it looks like a way to put a giant iPhone on top of your head
  3. Airline miles saved. Looks like we might be going with a group of friends and renting a house. Munich is a wonderful city right in the center of Europe and hoisting a toast to my friends and the team in the Hofbrauhaus would be pretty cool.
  4. It is a bitter wine that is made from sour grapes.
  5. It’s somewhat easier to eat in the car as well. This keeps the Hardee’s Mushroom and Swiss off the list.
  6. I like the Steak and Shake version of the Frisco a little better.
  7. The Boones Farm demographic has really expanded in the last 15 years or so.
  8. I suggest he try out for a cheerleader position and see how it goes from there. If Tina Becker could do it...
  9. The Raiders are going to call us on too much silver and black and not enough blue, our team primary color. I always wonder if both teams wearing similar looking helmets affected the QB looking for targets.
  10. That’s not a bad idea, I’ll see what I can come up with. I just love this photo so much, the guys had a fantastic day in Tampa spoiling the Bucs Super Bowl celebration.
  11. My pal Marc is eternally famous in his number 90 shirt. His buddy Dan is as excited, but blocked by Tupas helmet so no fame for him.
  12. Plenty of pro athletes have stayed here in Charlotte after moving here from other places. Primarily family types. Cost of living, being close to city infrastructure, weather are great reasons to be here. Bonehead rednecks, latent racism, homophobia, and Jesus bullshit are reasons to flee, but as long as you stay in Charlotte proper there's a chance you won't be surrounded by them. Just the price to pay living in the South. If I was a tradesman I would not get anywhere near North Carolina, one of the worst labor states in the country. PS I farking hate South End now. No parking and filled with goofy concept places that get replaced by another one overnight. Sure the newly arrived kids love it though. But I've lived here (from Western MA) for over 25 years and enjoyed it just fine.
  13. Greg was a long time model maker and effects guy in Hollywood. He passed away last spring, and when friends went to inventory his collection, they found a lot of incredible things. He had saved over the years. The most prized possession was in a cardboard box, the original filming miniature for XWing red one in Star Wars, thought to be gone since shooting ended. It sold for 2.3 million, the total haul was @12 million. He never worked on Star Wars, I’d sure like to hear the story of how he acquired it.
  14. Him and his dad at the Vikings game, I was taking the picture...
  15. Miami fans have had to face Brady twice every year and compete for the division against him, essentially for a football lifetime. Most of them are able to handle success.
  16. There were a really good few years there when the AFMB looked like this every day.
  17. Thanks I needed that except the smell part
  18. Had a blast seeing all my tailgate buds again after a crazy challenging year.
  19. Poor cat probably got run over by a giant pickup as soon as he landed on I 277
  20. I had stopped going to Jersey Mike’s because every time I went in, they were out of bread. But lately they’ve been doing really good and I like their tuna. We have a Which Wich nearby and that’s pretty good except they always seem to heat it when I want it cold and give it cold when I want it hot. Subway makes me gag.
