OFF-TOPIC Thread

I attempt not to recall some of the things that I've eaten during my travels

I've lived by "well it ain't killing them so it won't kill me"
and once in a while you find something incredible
that you wouldn't eat if you knew what it was

so don't ask
and pass the hot sauce

 

Come on down south and get you some road kill stew.

 

The last episode of The Night Of was awesome.

John Tuturro is just one of our best actors.

Can't believe he decides to take the cash for movies like Transformers. I guess for the chance to make movies/series like The Night Of.......it's a business.

 

Every actor out there has done it. Eventually, they get to it.
I recall Michael Caine, during an interview, being asked about making "The Hand", said he " knew it was a bloody horrible script, but it bought a lovely cottage for me mum".

 

i've never gotten what everyone loves about cajun
have a place close called le sisters that people RAVE about
i have tried it four times and each time a different dish
don't get it
not good
warm buttermilk pie though

 

Really??

Dang I LOVES me some Cajun food.

There used to be a place in Manhattan Beach called the Ragin Cajun that had awesome food, jambalaya, gumbo, dirty rice, fried catfish, hush puppies that melted on your tongue. Each table had 12-15 bottles of hotsauce. Landlord came him shit after he expanded from 1 to 2 to 3 suites in the little strip mall so he bailed and opened a food truck and sells now at USC games. Great food.

Gotta love hot sauce to start with I suppose

 

Oh no, man...last photo I saw of him, he looked very bad. Wow...genuinely sorry to read that.
Unforgettable in "The Producers and Young Frankenstein. Just a brilliant, talented guy.
Idk about the Hereafter, but if there is one, may he be united with Gilda.

 

I like Buckwheat Zydeco. Saw him this summer in concert.
My favorite was a Cajun fiddler named Doug Kershaw...always like Clayton because of that, even before he was Zeus.
Has nothing to do with food.
So what.
and Oh, might as well...
AJ sucked.

 

Rich is freebasing somewhere in the beyond...probably on fire, too.

 

The Waco Kid

 

That guy was one helluva fiddler.

 

Yeah, just unique. There was really no one like him...damn what a year.

 

Yeah, saw him the last time in Vegas...Beausoleil, too.

 

Former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt is a sports owner once again

There aren’t many major league ownership reigns which ended more ignominiously than Frank McCourt’s reign as Dodgers owner. He was granted access to one of business’ most exclusive clubs — one which being a convicted criminal or even a Nazi sympathizercannot get you kicked out of — and somehow got kicked out. The clear lesson from his saga was that saddling your team with debt, using it as your own private piggy bank and exercising bad judgment at every possible turn will not get you drummed out of baseball but, by gum, having it all go public in a divorce case sure as heck will.

McCourt landed pretty safely, though. By sheer luck, his being kicked out of ownership coincided with the vast appreciation of major league franchise values and the expiration of the Dodgers cable television deal. He may have left in disgrace, but he also left with a couple of billion dollars thanks to the genius of capitalism. At the time it was assumed he’d ride off into the sunset, continuing to make a mint off of parking at Dodgers games (he retained a big piece of that pie) and not get his hands messy with sports ownership again.

Such assumptions were inoperative:

The soccer club has suffered from poor financial decisions in recent years. So I guess it was a match made in heaven.

 

Once a loser..

 

Just got another automated call on my cell phone...

"St. Mary's prayer center" reaching out to see if there was anyone I thought needed prayers.


but there was no one there to harass.



Reminds me of days gone by when a certain devilish friend would give my # to the AA hotline and someone dared to reach this German Irishman to attempt to teach me the sins of a liquid lunch.

Boy was that fun. Poor counselor earned her $2 for that call.

Talking religion nonsense to a prayer circle worker could have been even better... but they hung up automatically. Tried to call back but of course it was a false #. Damned religious idiots

 

One of my all-time favorite movie actors!! Loved all of his movies especially the ORIGINAL Willy Wonka. RIP indeed.
