The next time I see a yellow strat for sale, I'm buying.
Spike sold to anheisur-busch long ago. I'm surprised it took this long for them to shutter.

9 game conf schedule also gave ABC/ESPN improved content. Conference got nothing for this either.


This is my primary complaint. If we were going to 9, there needed to be some money on the table for the schools.

What jumped off the page to me is that UF's in state tuition is half the price of UGA's. This angers me.

And as far as the Fender stuff, we've moved on. We're mad at D'addario now.


What did those poor bastards do to piss off Rick Beato?

I'm the opposite. I used to hate, but now very much enjoy and appreciate.

Add Paradise City to the list.
They don't have any copyright claims to any US made strat copies because US case law says they failed to enforce it for decades. But overseas, they are enforcing the shite out of it now.

Mad about what?


Cease and desist letters sent out to all the other guitar companies.

Every music youtuber roasted Fender, swearing off any of the products in the future, and many people here as well. Are you playing coy or you really don't know?

Is everyone still mad at Fender?

Or was that just the outrage of the week?

Why are you an a-hole to literally everyone, always?
Waffle House is very location dependent.

The one closest to me (#1487) has been a shite show since COVID. Their whole staff has turned over, and they are all amateurs who are in over their head. They can't handle the rush. And they seem to have a 2 to 1 ratio of to-go orders to dine-in orders. You walk in and the place is full of people waiting, but there's open tables. It really screws up the dine in experience. Also, the clientele at the location are rude and obnoxious to each other and staff. It's just not a good experience during a rush. Rushing out food not quite done. Orders fricked up in general. I don't recommend that location during a busy time.

The next closest one in Loganville is very good. Store #762, one of the OG Waffle Houses. They can handle the rush and they remember your name and your order after just one visit.

The next next closest one is perfect. Store #1704 on Hwy 78. No matter how busy they are, they are on point and working like a well oiled machine. I just hate the geographical location on the edge of Snellville Hell on 78.

A well-run Waffle House is hard to beat.

I haven't been to IHOP in a long time. In high school, the smoking section was pretty much a delinquent juvenile hangout (raises hand). As an adult, every time I've been, it's slow to get a table. Then slow to get served. Just everything in slow motion. And it's expensive, always has been.

Give me Waffle House every day of the week.

I still miss the Porter Beer bar in little 5 Points in ATL


Not a brewpub, but does have a ridiculous selection. Also, it's in the heart of the most hipster area in all of Atlanta. It couldn't survive anywhere else around town. In my opinion.

I'd rather go next door and eat calamari and pound red stripes at Bridgetown Grill.
The only closures around me are the mom and pop strip mall restaurants. All the corporate stuff keeps growing and more being built and opening. Loganville GA
Chick Fil A's don't close unless they are tearing an older one down to build a bigger one on the same site.

In high school my vehicle had similar allure.

In my yearbook Mike Mercer said "tight car, where you get those rims?"

At a tailgate at our first football game my senior year which was on the road at central, lou Williams begged to drive my car around the parking lot while we were tailgating. I didn't let him, which is nothing against him as an individual and more so just me being protective


I don't know Mike Mercer but I know Lou Williams, you were friends with him? Do yall still talk? And who won the game, South Gwinnett or the Black Knights?

Someone pulled this stunt in a large conference room of about 40 people. To add insult to injury, she also asked each person to describe what unique input they could provide to the project and speculate why they believed they were chosen to be in the room.

Early in my career, I had a VP tell me he declines all meeting requests that don't have action times in the invite. It seemed harsh at the time, but I later realized it's a great policy. Now granted, you gotta have some serious seniority to swing your nuts like that.


I've been doing this for years. I'm nowhere close to a VP. Maybe 5% of the time they'd call me into it through Teams, I could answer the one question they had, then drop back off. The other 95% of the time I wasn't needed or something was answered to via an email. I don't miss that corporate bullshite. I have a new position now that doesn't require that level of horse shite culture. I haven't spoken to an Indian or a yankee in almost 3 months and my southern accent is returning, working for a local Georgia company.
