    - *begins drooling uncontrollably* - spamlet Aug 18, 15:56 3
      - Same. -- nm - pmb Aug 18, 16:32

    - ok, hear me out: I like their fries! - ty97 Aug 18, 15:59 1
      - You have to eat them immediately. They don't age well, but they're good if you eat them when they hand you the bag. -- nm - jnine Aug 18, 17:36
    - Right? I mean God bless em, they deep fry raw potatoes and are proud of it. You know what? They come out pretty bad! -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 15:58 4
      - Are they really potatoey, like a steak fry tastes? Because I kinda like that. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 16:12 1
        
        Probably too much so. Soggy in the middle and only the ends are crispy. It's like if you tried making them at home for the first time. -- nm* - con_carne Aug 18, 16:21
      - ordered well done helps, but they really do need a new recipe or type of potato -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 18, 16:00 1
        
        They're remarkably minimalist -- nm - JD Aug 18, 16:04

  - Aim higher -- nm - JD Aug 18, 15:30 7
    - we like their half priced drinks while waiting for a table when we visit in Florida -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 15:35
    - Carrabba's or Macaroni Grill at least. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 15:32 5
      - I miss MG -- nm - spamlet Aug 18, 15:44 4
        
        MG no good around here. service terrible -- nm - budice Aug 18, 15:59
        
        word. I used to have one right up the street from work. -- nm - Jovian Aug 18, 15:54
        
        I haven't been to one in....13-ish years? But I recall liking it well enough -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 15:47 1
        
        There was one right by work. Especially for broke newlyweds it was good value. -- nm - spamlet Aug 18, 15:57
this board needs more Crash Test dummies. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 18, 15:22 2

  - Why do you think I keep talking about Wet Leg? - Dano Aug 18, 15:10 1
    - And all those Girl Scout Cookies -- nm - budice Aug 18, 15:21

- btw, SummerSlam is Saturday. The NXT Takeover (with WALTER vs. Dragunov) is Sunday -- nm - Tim Aug 18, 14:51 5
  - ah yes! thank you I mixed it up and didn't realize it until this morning -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 14:59
  - Don't dirty up a funny Sean Lock story with your wrestling. - Krusty Aug 18, 14:52 3
    - Remlik was *wrong* on the internet! -- nm - Tim Aug 18, 14:52 2
      - David was verbose on the Internet! - Will Hunting Aug 18, 14:54 1
        
        Hunting is 20 years behind the curve! -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 14:59
oops Ty. You're right. There is not a Bennigan's in NJ. The one I was thinking of was once a Bennigan's and is now a Houlihan's. -- nm* - Jovian Aug 18, 14:45 1
- which, btw, has surprisingly good fish tacos, but that is neither here nor there. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 15:31
Holy shit, I beat the #7 team and moved up 4 whole spots. Updated: the rank didn’t refresh, I moved up 9. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Aug 18, 14:38 16

    - Well, that cinches that I'm chasing on Boyette. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 15:49 1
      - Oh god, I mis-counted...I'm going to not have enough points to chase him to the end. I'm going to be 3 short. - Will Hunting Aug 18, 15:52
    - *whistles appreciatively* -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 15:24
  - YOU TOLD ME TO! -- nm - spamlet Aug 18, 15:18 5
    - *loudly so the DTLNCAA can hear* I would never encourage such collusive behavior! *to spam* Wink. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 15:29 2
      - Your scout just saw my scout at a game and let him know about an underscouted kid is all. -- nm - spamlet Aug 18, 16:03 1
        
        It's true. We felt so bad for him that he had no offers from anywhere. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 16:10
    - So you're chasing bush? -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 15:21 1
      - Giggity. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 15:26

- Sorry. I beat an interim team even though my PG fouled out in 7:30. Dropped 3 spots -- (edited) - spamlet Aug 18, 14:40 3
  - My SF had more fouls (4) than points (3) but his back-up -- a lanky freshman walk-on -- torched them for 21 pts/6 reb. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 14:58
  - Was he betting on the other team? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 14:46 1
    - Got dumped by his SO and couldn't wait to get off the court -- nm - JD Aug 18, 14:55

- Ponderosa -- nm - Tim Aug 18, 14:52 9
  - Lum's! -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 18, 15:56
  - Is that the one where you went down the line with your tray and then you would get a number to take with you so they could bring you your order? -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 15:00 3
    - I just remember the buffet, which was absolute heaven for me as a kid. -- nm - Tim Aug 18, 15:29 2
      - Word. Loved the salad bar as a middle school kid. Some of my fondest memories as a kid were dinners at Ponderosa. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 18, 15:40 1
        
        As I recall, that's where I came to appreciate chicken livers. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 16:07
  - I loved them almost as much as Bonanza! Ryan's Steakhouse, too. -- nm - David Aug 18, 14:58 3
    - Ponderosa, Sizzler and Bonanza were all essentially the same as I recall. - pmb Aug 18, 15:04 2

- I still have all my Star Wars and DC Super Heroes Burger Chef glasses -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 14:40

follow up flu vax question: Oct/Nov is when our booster shots are due, can we do covid and flu same time or wait a couple weeks? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 14:26 6
- Initially here they said wait 14 days, but then when things started going sour over east they changed to “it’s fine, just get them done.” -- nm - mafic Aug 18, 16:05
- i thought, in general, they recommend spacing out vaccines - just so if you react they know what you are reacting to. -- nm* - Andie Aug 18, 14:28 4
  - Initially that was the case (Covid separate from any other vaccine for 14 days) but I'm pretty sure it's fine to do both of those. - Tim Aug 18, 14:30 2
    - We were just talking about that and wondering if there'd be a combined annual booster. I got my flu shot in late August last year and then learned it - Meg Aug 18, 15:29
    - good to know! -- nm - Andie Aug 18, 14:33
  - good point, well last flu was WAY down because of masking, so I'll do covid first -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 14:29
Enjoy every sandwich. -- nm - Tim Aug 18, 14:26 1
