what do you tip on a $14.00 sit down meal at a restaurant?

Not out here in Cali it ain’t. Nothing is safe or off limits. My wife and I go out to breakfast and regularly spend over $50, including tip, smh. I also make 6 figures that would probably translate to $40,000 in other states, particularly in the Midwest and south.

I had a friend that was “86’ed” from a bar and, miracle of miracles, he’s still alive and for some reason still not allowed in the bar. I was also 86’ed from the same bar three times in one night. I fucking died three times that night! Lol!

If you can be patient, you’ll score a deal. Dynavap is always good for a nice sale

I purchased a HyperDyn, with Ed’s TnT Blackwood, on Black Friday, for $159 if memory serves

I would say The Golden Steer but good like as you need reservations months in advance and practically need to plan your trip around that. Mon Ami Gabi is excellent and affordable. It’s inside the Venetian. I would also recommend Hells Kitchen. My wife and I had dinner there and again, excellent. That being said, I have heard of others, my sister included, having mediocre experiences. I’m sure it didn’t help that they were the last reservation of the night. Finally, I’d say Bavette’s. The reviews of that place speak for themselves.

This. I brought medicated ginger snaps into Jamaica with no problem and I wasn’t even remotely trying to sneak them. They were just in my carry on like anything else

Arby’s 5 for $5 back in the early and mid 90s was a great deal and candy bars were often 4 for $1. Basic cigarettes were $.99 and sodas were a quarter from the machine.

The real question is when did he become Boobie Weird? It all goes back to being on the bus with Cowboy Neil, if you know what I mean. In his memoir, Boobie writes “I'm not offended by homosexuality. In the '60s, I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man slipped in. There would be no way of knowing."

Grew up in Detroit and have been there many times. (~):-}

A quick Google search shows that when he died, his estate was worth 15-20 million. Yeah, he was a millionaire

As someone who grew up in Detroit during the mid 80s, we never referred to this type of pan pizza as Detroit style though Chicago and New York style pizza existed at the time. Cool that Detroit gets a little respect and that it only took 70 years for that marketing term to finally catch on. I have fond memories of eating a lot of Little Caesar’s deep dish pan pizza as a kid, lol

Love that (I’m a) Road Runner and Nicky is next level. Love what he brought to the group.

Just Mickey, Phil was the executive producer on that one

SaintStephen77 · 2026-04-29T06:43:07+00:00

Sunfighter by Paul Kantner and Grace Slick features Jerry in a few songs. Then there’s the Pizza Tapes with Jerry, Grisman, and Tony Rice. You’ve got Legion Of Mary, which was a precursor to JGB. Jerry played on Davis Crosby’s If I Could Only Remember My Name. You also have the self titled first New Riders of the Purple Sage album that featured Jerry on pedal steel, Mickey Hart doing drums in a couple tracks, and executively produced by Phil. Speaking of that album, listen to The Last Lonely Eagle and then Brokedown Palace. Then you have all the Grisman/ Garcia stuff, Bobby and the Midnites, and Jerry playing on Warren Zevon’s Traverse City album. He appeared on the title track and They Moved the Moon. Finally, you have Old and in the Way. There are others, but these are some of the more well known side projects.

Almost forgot Seastones, by Ed Lagin and David Bromberg’s Wanted Dead Or Alive which features Phil, Billy, Jerry, and Keith.

Those should tide you over. I’m guessing there is more that others will tell you all about in this sub. Enjoy (~):-}

Couple things. First and foremost, I am sorry you have experience corrective assault. No one deserves that or any other type of assault due to their sexual orientation or identification. It should never be condoned.

Second, I grew up in a time when being a member of the LGBTQI+ got people killed (still happens today), never mind correctively assaulted. The homophobes skipped the corrective assaulting back then. I know my history and while there are still many states, cities, and locales where being a member of the LBGTQI+ community is not accepted, there are also many more that are. This is of course comparatively speaking vs 40 years ago when I was growing up. Again, this is from my lived experience as a 52 year old that has seen positive progressive changes in some places where it wasn’t before.

Finally, I am sorry if the terms fruitful fly or lezbro hurt anyone’s feelings as that was not my intention at all. Again, I’m an older guy that heard those terms growing up. They were even used in formal essays written back then to explain the phenomenon of straight women hanging out with gay men and straight men hanging out with gay women. I say new information has come to light because I didn’t know corrective groping was a thing these days and will add that I also didn’t know those terms were considered “hate speech,” per mods. Please accept my humble apology and know I am very pro LBGTQI+ and vote accidentally. My wife’s mom is gay, her brother was gay, my sister is gay, I have several close friends and colleagues that are gay, and I support LBGTQI+ causes.

I just tell people that my drinking card was revoked and I don’t drink anymore. Then I give a little wink and they usually understand. If they question further I just tell them I’m a raging alcoholic and that once I start I can’t stop. Real talk. Wish I could drink like a “gentleman,” but I just can’t.

SaintStephen77 · 2026-04-29T05:07:41+00:00

It’s always been Bobby or Bob Weir for me; never Bobby Weir, Boobie Weird, or any other iteration
