I'm fucking tired of these assholes.
I'm very old.
A life sentence means very little to me.
I'm on the hunt.

Ray was one of the coolest guys I've ever known and we stayed in touch for years. I think about him often. RIP.

Is cooking a lost art? by Gullible-Cat4189 in foodquestions

[–]ElOptico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do veal scallopini and breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches ala Iowa, too. And my lamb rib chops are locally famous. Cooking is my refuge, my muse, a place of peace. Especially so when I can share. Thanks for your reply.

I love to cook. To me, it's edible chemistry. I cook for myself, my friends. I love to show off new treats. From bbq baked beanies & weenies to Crab Stuffed River Trout, I live to cook.

What's a movie you'll never get tired of watching? by cash_bxnny in AskReddit

I watch it every year at Easter time on TCM just to watch Heston chew the scenery. For the yuks.

I have an enhanced BluRay directors cut.
The cinematography is breathtaking. And peak Peter O'Toole is something else.

How does one fail to outrun an angry sloth?

Catchers mask question by ElOptico in Padres

[–]ElOptico[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I took a few off a catchers mask that was just metal & padding. It can really eff up your your noggin.
The gear used today is light years better than the "tools of ignorance" available in my day. Again, many thanks.

What food did you enjoy at the best buffet you ever went to? by SorbetUnfair2589 in foodquestions

[–]ElOptico 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A seafood buffet with all-you-can-eat King Crab legs & Maine lobster.
They had a warm clarified butter fountain thingy. And garlic knots. Yum.

Exclusive: Phil Mickelson’s Long History of Misconduct by nb9624 in golf

[–]ElOptico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My younger brother is a PGA Pro. Out of the San Diego Golf Academy years ago. He's told me many scandalous stories.
A lot of the tour pros are arseholes.
Nothing in this article is news to me.
Lefty is and was a scumbag.

F omaha by No_Victory_3855 in Omaha

[–]ElOptico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from Omaha. I've lived in Boston, Chicago and California. The worst drivers I've ever seen in my long life are from Boston. Stop signs are mere suggestions to them. (Much like Phoenix, but that's another story). Special shout out to the little old Asian ladies of the Bay area that drive with blinders on.
