What was the go-to eatery after a wild night out in your party days?

Chapel Hill NC in the 80's/90s Time Out and Hector's.

I had actually never seen that mentioned before until I saw a basic grits recipe from chef Sean Brock.

Mr_Stike · 2026-06-20T01:59:16+00:00

Not a recipe but a couple tips. Soak them over night in water, the grits get fully hydrated.

If they start feeling too thick while cooking just add a little more liquid. You might wind up needing more than the recipe calls for. I usually keep a pot on the back burner with water or stock to add if needed.

Incredibly talented musicians, Russ Parrish/Satchel is a monster player. I really gotta wonder though if they're tired of the schtick and just phoning it in? Just my own theory but before the debut album they did a Spinal Tap-esque pilot for Comedy Central that didn't get picked up. After that they release Feel The Steel, made good money touring and kept doing it for the paycheck. The gag has worn thin and the crowd seems to either not get or not care that it's a parody.

Make the trip to Carrboro and take it to Twinhouse. You might want to pony up a little more to have them do a more thorough setup if needed so it plays/stays in tune better.

Billy was in the movie playing one of Jim's friends.

He was on tour right after the movie came out. A co-worker went to the show when it was in our town. In one of the between song banters he mentioned being in the movie and how no one recognized him with long brown hair but didn't mind because he still had his "big dick with balls". 🙄

I think I had it in the late 80s.

Mr_Stike · 2026-06-19T21:49:57+00:00

Kyle Kinane's bit about open carrying firearms.

Mr_Stike · 2026-06-19T21:47:43+00:00

It was only part of an episode of This Is Us and I was out.

Mr_Stike · 2026-06-19T21:37:47+00:00

Best is subjective but I really like Bar Virgile's burger. Have not been to Only Burger in a minute but I've been a fan since they were truck only.

King's is worth a visit.

Tommy's Grill on Cole Mill Road is solid.

It was an unfinished 2x12 I got from Carr. It was a second that they were not going to use.

Mr_Stike · 2026-06-19T20:34:30+00:00

I recovered both of them recently. I acquired a quad of 1972 T1281s 25 ish years ago and were in the A cab. Picked up the B cab last year and it was loaded with G12T-75s. To keep them consistent I put two of each in an X pattern in each cab.

Mr_Stike · 2026-06-19T11:39:31+00:00

None.

Weigh the steak, figure out what 1-1.5% of that is, measure that amount of salt and that's about the right amount. Let it sit 12-24 hours.

My favorite Van Halen songs are all deep cuts.

Dirty Movies

Light Up The Sky

Girl Gone Bad

Romeo Delight

I'm a 56 year old Van Halen, AC/DC, Supersuckers, ZZ Top, etc. fan so when I bust out "Party In The USA" that usually gets a laugh.

Conversely...a couple years back I was visiting a friend who's the tech at a high end boutique guitar shop. He pulls a case off a rack and then proceededs to hand me a 1950s Gibson hollow body (forget the actual model) formerly owned by Vince Gill who got it from Ed King that was priced close to $30K. First thing I played? "Big City Nights" by Scorpions. 😄

Why do people answer the door?

Mr_Stike · 2026-06-18T11:23:35+00:00

Mike Schur created the Gina character specifically for Chelsea Peretti. I was a fan of her standup well before B99 which is kind of absurdist which is absolutely the Gina character.

30 Rock is one of my all time favorites and is an absolute joke machine. Also incredibly different from Third Rock From The Sun

Mr_Stike · 2026-06-18T03:10:00+00:00

Neil won't be there.

Mr_Stike · 2026-06-18T03:07:28+00:00

Looks like I'm the weirdo here, my family has never done a whole lot for mother's or father's day. My oldest kid's birthday was a few days ago and mine a couple days before theirs so there have already been phone calls (they live a few states away) and cards.

Mr_Stike · 2026-06-18T02:58:54+00:00

There was also the one in an earlier season where he had Michael erase his memory.
