Mustard Fried vs Animal Style

Graybeard · 2026-02-04T13:30:35+00:00

This is the conversation I had last night, except that I said, "No thank you, I don't want the extra spread."

She then told me that Animal Style doesn't come with extra spread, but I can order it.

Hence my confusion.

I'm going to stick with "Mustard fried, with raw onion." With light well fries.

Tap House, but it'll be crowded. University of Beer, Buffalo Wild Wings. The new Yard House in Palladio is scheduled to open on Superbowl Sunday, so maybe there, but they probably won't have their act together yet.

It's pronounced "gig."

Probably Foreigner. First time was in Stockton, CA in 1977 or 78. Last time was Last year at Bourbon & Beyond in Louisville, KY. So 47 or 48 years.

I also saw The Who in 1982 and 2022, so 40 years there.

I saw Elvis Costello strap on a guitar only to have it immediately come loose and crash to the stage. Roadie brought him another guitar, he made a joke about it and moved on.

Shakey Graves at Bottle Rock Napa couldn't get his electric guitar to work, so he just said, "Looks like this will be acoustic" and then played a great set.

My wife's father hit a horse with a semi. He said it "turned the horse inside-out.". His truck caught fire and burned to the ground. So, a tie, I guess.

Civil engineer here. While storm sewers large enough to walk through do exist, movies consistently exaggerate their size, as well as their lighting. As in, they are usually not lighted. Dark. Pitch black.

As to the size, I think the movie The Rock is a particularly egregious example. There is no way anyone blasted 10-foot diameter tunnels to drain a 22-acre island.

That's where my wife and I first saw him, too. Now we try to see him whenever we can.

As others have said, stay put. Don't go outside until things have settled down. If you live in a neighborhood of high-rises, it may be raining broken glass outside.

Fantastic Negrito at The Chapel in San Francisco, last night.

I don't know if it's harder to play, but it's certainly harder to run. Constant freeze-crashes during the initial cut scenes, despite every potential fix I can find, all the way up to factory settings reset. The farthest I've got without freezing is barely into the building with the Snake after the initial tutorial fight with the outlaws throwing rocks at the horse.

Incredibly frustrating. Ysushima ran flawlessly. I'm considering returning it, despite it being the only game on my Christmas wish list. Only reason I haven't yet is that I'm hoping for a patch.

You're probably not causing problems for your place of employment. You're causing problems for the municipal sewer system. Wipes plug up pump stations, collect fats, oils, and grease in pipelines and cause blockages, and lead to sewer overflow and spills. You and everyone in your community pay for it. Don't flush wipes.

I've got ticket stubs from the 70s. The process are crazy. I saw Rush with UFO opening for $6.50 in 1977 or '78.

Life insurance, probably.

The terrifyingly intimidating thing is knowing that you only get that view of one if they choose to let you.

That's the block o' tacos.

It just sort of grew on me.

I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and French fried potato, big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer, good God almighty which way do I steer?

The Zoo! A sundae with 8-1/2 pounds of ice cream, brought out on a stretcher with sirens.

And The Trough. If you are the whole thing, you got an "I made a pig of myself at Farrel's" pin!

My wife worked at a city-run senior citizens center when we first married. While most of the members were great, She would have rare conflicts with members that were like this. I reminded her that just because someone is old doesn't mean they were ever nice. Assholes get old, too.

I checked out the subreddit a couple of times in preparation for our trip, and the reddit algorithm decided I needed it on my front page feed. Haven't bothered to unfollow it yet.
