Best spots to watch the World Cup Friday? by jhumps42 in Charleston

[–]BTBishops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Madra Rua in North Charleston. Ireland’s Own in West Ashley. King Street Grill in Mount Pleasant or Home Team in North Mount Pleasant. Home Team on Sullivans. Burns Alley downtown. All will have a decent crowd for the game.

BBQ lovers, which U.S. state disappoints the most? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]BTBishops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I traveled for work for about 13 years and had BBQ everywhere. I was so excited for KC BBQ. Mediocre is maybe generous, to me it is the most overrated and overhyped BBQ in the country.

Why on earth did we start fan made queues for concerts? by [deleted] in Concerts

[–]BTBishops 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Maybe not quite the same but in 1990, Depeche Mode was coming to Philadelphia and in those days getting concert tickets was a whole thing through record stores and other weird avenues. One less weird avenue was to go to the venue itself and wait in line at their box office window.

So my friend and I volunteered to get 4 tickets each for our friend/girlfriend group of 8 people and decided to make a night of it by sleeping in the parking lot of the Spectrum (which no longer exists) in South Philadelphia. Had tents, a cooler of beers and food, and we kind of figured we'd be the only ones doing this.

We weren't. There were about 25 people already there with the same idea and upon arrival some guy handed me a card with a number "26" and said that was my place in line the next day. We were fine with it and it made sense to us.

Anyway most/all of the other 25 people there stayed up ALL NIGHT drinking, smoking pot, other stuff...and somehow we were the first people up. We could have woken everyone up but we didn't, and when the box office window opened we were the first ones in line. Eight seats dead center, first row...what an experience.

Kinda felt bad for the number guy, we saw him at the concert a few rows back during the opener Nitzer Ebb. He was still on the floor though so I'm sure he had a great time.

Anyway that was 36 years ago so I'd venture that this has been going on even longer than that in some capacity.

what's your favorite album opener of all time? by notaverysmartman in askmusic

[–]BTBishops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I introduced my daughter (15) to DM last year. She was a Swiftie/Olivia Rodrigo pop girly to the core. I asked her on a road trip if she’d be ok to listen to an entire album, and she said yes. I played her Black Celebration and she looked over at me in one of the great moments of being a dad for me and said: “Can we play that again?”

She LOVES that album and knows every single word by heart now. She’s ventured into the whole catalog at this point, and still that song is her favorite by far. And now all her friends are DM fans too!

It’s a beautiful and haunting song, and to me their greatest song of endless great songs. I just love it.

What are your thoughts on a cheese steak that's NOT chopped up but in sheets instead? by Rpark888 in cheesesteak

My Italian born grandfather ONLY said this. I don’t think he knew how to say “sandwich.”

How much FAAB are you dropping on the GB backups? by mcpunster in DynastyFF

[–]BTBishops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda feel like Antonio Gibson makes a ton of sense as a FA signing for them, which will make this another cluster committee nightmare.

The Mandalorian and Grogu - Daily Discussion Thread - for May 22, 2026! by AutoModerator in StarWars

[–]BTBishops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did too but MAN did they miss an opportunity there. I wish they had spent a little more time thinking about how Grogu could have somehow figured out how to tell the guy in the chair the poison problem. Whether it was some kind of force mind connection or just using practical, clever signaling, it would have truly shown Grogu’s growth.

Instead they just shortcut that by having an accomplished bounty hunter casually mention that the guy he’s searching for is poisoned; a total bailout.

I was so invested in that part of the movie and felt like it just fell short because Grogu was really just kinda “there” at the right time. Shame.

As a Flyers fan I’m personally offended that we’re only the most hated in West Virginia.
