Scrolled back a few pages, but didn’t see anything.

Haven’t seen or heard anything about the annual Calandro’s raffle. Can’t find anything online. Not happening?

Watching City this year is as excruciating as watching LSU.

re: Hitting or missing on Kiffin and your interest in football

Posted by LuckySo-n-So on 11/26/25 at 12:18 pm to King of New Orleans

I’m about as least interested in College football as I’ve ever been. Don’t really care about the coach. LSU never gets their first choice. It would take a LF ‘15, JB ‘19, or Jayden ‘23 type season by a player for me to come back to some semblance of interest.

As far as I’m concerned, I was there for the greatest and last season of college football the way it is supposed to be. (2019).

CFB has been a shite show since then, what with Covid and NIL.

I don’t necessarily agree. Lucy Darling’s show is well thought out and does not rely entirely on crowd work, although it is a huge part of it. She integrates audience participation as well as anyone can. The show moves at a steady pace…always heading somewhere. It’s not just 2 hours of “What’s your name? What do you do?” If you have any semblance of a sense of humor, you would enjoy the show.

frick arc fault breakers. Now that the NEC requires AFCI/GFCI and AFCI breakers almost everywhere, the cost for breakers in a new build or renovation (permitted) has gone up ten times. Just finished a big reno, and I’ve had to replace at least ten or twelve of those frickers because of nuisance tripping. Spent $4k+ on breakers. frick those bastards.

I didn’t necessarily “meet” him, but former UFC champ Chick Liddell walked right through me as if I was not even there. This was at The Rio in Vegas about 25 years ago. My head was turned so I didn’t see who it was. I was about to go give that guy a stern talking to, but my friends told me who it was and I decided to let it go. Didn’t want to embarrass him in front of his friends….actually, I went and crawled under a craps table and started crying.

Anyone familiar with her? She started popping up on my FB/Insta feed several months ago. I love curvy redheads, so I was intrigued right away. Her act relies almost exclusively on crowd work with a bit of well-done sleight-of-hand, all wrapped in a 1930s/40s Hollywood glamour/Vaudevillian style. I find her to be very entertaining. Her wit is quick and razor-sharp. Saw her in Houston this past weekend and met her after the show. Was a great time. Right now she has kind of a cult following, playing to sold out venues everywhere, but I think she’s on the verge of blowing up big time.

Didn’t see the match today. Seems there was some controversy about the winner?

I blame this loss squarely on the international break. Most of the blues were out on Int’l duty. How many Geordies were? I could be wrong.

City were in good form until this break.

From what I understand, you have to be there at Open and you can get a seat at the bar if there are not too many people ahead of you. They don’t take reservations for one, so that’s how singles get a seat. :dunno:

Where have you eaten in Vegas lately?

Posted by LuckySo-n-So on 11/18/25 at 7:32 am

I’ll be there for my usual Christmas vacation this year. Already have reservation at Herbs & Rye and Oscar’s.

Not really married to Oscar’s. May try to walk in at Golden Steer when they open just to say I’ve been. But not sure. I hear good things about Esther’s Kitchen. And although I did mention Golden Steer, with that exception, I’m not really interested in spending $100+ on a ribeye or filet (Oscar’s is much less expensive than, say Papi, SW, or Prime).

I like French and Italian (been to Scarpetta [9/10] and Battista’s [4/10]). Not interested in sushi/Asian. Maybe a little value as well.

Been to Vegas a dozen times. So many choices. I’m gonna hit. Village Pub, In n Out, and maybe Hofbrauhaus. I know all the big names. I’m just curious what y’all have had to eat that has impressed y’all.

Thanks.
