Archie’s and Bob Sykes are my go-to’s depending on where my workday takes me.

My opinion - Jim N Nicks is too high in your ranking. I’ve been disappointed the several times that Ive been there so I’ve stopped going. Other options are way better.

Rodney Scott’s and Martins are both good. Moe’s is just ok.

Can anyone in the group recommend a good training plan for a complete beginner? An app would be good. Something like a Couch to 5k for runners? Maybe something targeted towards 30 miles or so.
A lot more upset with the UCLA loss last year than this one. This one shows we just weren’t that good of a team. They can’t shoot consistently Haven’t all year. But last year We were good enough to make an even deeper run and lost that game strictly because of free throws.

Whenever I’m watching Comedy Central and a Daily Show preview comes on, its never remotely funny.


I watch a decent amount of Comedy Central with The Office, Seinfeld, etc. and they are always promoting the crap out of Noah and Bee both. You would think they would at least have one promo that would make me chuckle even by accident but nope, never. They have to be the 2 unfunniest people ever created.

Buddy of mine owns a BBQ place here in Alabama. That's the way he does his wings and they are great.



C'mon man...give your buddy some pub. I'm always looking for good bbq joints.

Long Gone by Paul Hemphill is a fun read…a bit different from the classic HBO movie that was based on it but fun nonetheless.

A story with a heart of gold about love and the loss of innocence at the bottom of the most minor league in baseball--the class D Alabama-Florida League in the 1950s, with a sour old maverick manager, a yearning teenage second baseman, and a black catcher masquerading as a Venezuelan.

I lucked into a copy at 2nd & Charles for $4-$5 bucks last summer.

I saw a Shar-Pai and Cocker Spaniel mix the other that was awesome looking…

I wanted to get some from Pequod's but I'm not sure it would come out the same as in house and don't want to be disappointed


Pequods is my our favorite from Chicago. Goldbelly had a deal for FREE shipping right before Christmas so I ordered us a couple. I was pretty impressed with the way it heated up...even the burnt cheese crust turned out well.

Always thought this game was peak Gus Bus in a good way. Missouri had no idea how to stop Mason. Auburn was really smooth and in sync that day.

Sad thing is I don't see prices going down anytime soon if ever


Prices will never go down…restaurants will like the higher prices and customers will just get used to paying them and complain when they go up again.

Remember when all the pizza places added delivery fees “temporarily” because gas prices had increased (early 90s)…those still have been removed and have gone up even more since.
I literally saw a video yesterday of a crab amputating his own arm…I think we are ok.
We have a boxer named Louis - after Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber and a Golden Retriever named Patrick - my wife and I were married on St Patricks day.
I always thought it made sense to just start each OT possession at the 50 and go until a team wins…think they should do that in the NFL too.

Another perfect example of the wasteful spending of the Dems...the "journalists" are going to be their lackey mouth-pieces anyway...no need to bribe them.
