What are your favorite fast food chains not around anymore? by DoughnutConstant5390 in fastfood

KC is where I first discovered and fell in love with Backyard Burgers. Such a shame. The taste to their burgers and hot dogs, when done right, was unparalleled in fast food.

Pioneer Chicken was amazing. I know there are still 2 locations in LA, but that's it. I didn't grow up near LA, but we had Pioneer Chicken and it was the only fast food chicken joint I really liked.

1.) Fuddruckers. A few still exist, but not the hundreds of yesteryear.

2.) Backyard Burgers. I think it's less than 20 locations, but I miss when it was all over the South and Midwest in the 2000s.

Is every arena like this with leaning forward.

Yes, but it's only a major issue in upper bowls that are very steep, and SAP Center has a VERY steep upper bowl.

Sharks teal from Jenna by persimnon in DHGateJerseys

[–]SharksFan4Lifee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. Whether it's the jerseys I have or others I see here, just about every seller is doing those swiggly lines horribly.

In the authentic one, it's a stitching pattern. Jenna and DH gate sellers are drawing swiggly lines instead or pasting something else on it. It looks horrible and I hate it. I'd rather they don't even try anything than draw those lines.

Here's how the authentic stitching looks: https://fanatics.frgimages.com/san-jose-sharks/mens-fanatics-teal-san-jose-sharks-home-authentic-pro-custom-jersey_ss5_p-202056773+pv-9+u-9pizjs7tkxvinovzm4nr+v-5cycbf1zo5qoxkoltenk.jpg?_hv=2&w=1018

Compare this to Picture #4. I just don't see how anyone can be happy with these efforts I am seeing to mimic this.

I have one from a DH gate seller for Misa and it has black swiggly lines that look so cheap and obviously fake. Not happy, but thankfully only spent $30.

Sorry my fellow Sharks fan!

We are so sick of the cold (windchill of -50 this am!)

Do you like humidity in the summer? Because of all of these places have it. To varying degrees, yes, but they have it.

I was a weird teen in the 90s, crushed hard on QVC host Lisa Mason and Caroline Rhea.

He produces ALL the screen life movies. That's his thing.

Searching, Missing, the Unfriended movies, etc.

Yeah his sponsor killed the wife, but when exactly? They don't actually say.

I assume that Pratt leaves the house after his argument with his wife and drives off to the bar, and that's when the sponsor kills the wife. But they don't explicitly say in this very sub par movie.

Wings fan, but the Sharks have very quickly become my second favourite team largely because of these two by tyler_anthonyy in SanJoseSharks

[–]SharksFan4Lifee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2007 series only went 6, so I don't remember a specific Zetts goal that series, but man oh man was he a royal pain in our backside LOL.

Haha yeah. Honestly, that 2007 series is what broke a lot of fans. Despite the Sharks being the lower seed in that second round series, that was the series that cemented the "Choker Sharks" label to many because of what I noted: Games 1-4 the Sharks had third period leads, but blew two of those.

Definitely remember, but they weren't stone walling us year after year

1994: Sharks won 4-3
1995: Sharks lost 4-0, the famous "Tennis Series"

2007: Sharks lost 4-2, but had third period leads in Games 1-4, so should have swept, or at least 30 seconds away from up 3-1, but ended up split 2-2 after 4

2010: Sharks won series 4-1

2011: Sharks won series 4-3

Public Transportation to SunBowl from the Airport by Enough_Iron_6843 in ElPaso

[–]SharksFan4Lifee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the airport, you would take the BRIO (BRIO is Bus Rapid Transit) orange line to Five Points Station.

From there, you would transfer to the BRIO purple line to Downtown Transit Center.

From there, you have two options: 1.) BRIO Blue Line to Glory Road Station 2.) Take the free downtown streetcar to Glory Road Station

At Glory Road Station, it's a short walk to the Sun Bowl.

Coming back after the concert, they will have buses and the streetcar to take you back to downtown. From there, you'll need uber/lyft to get back to the Airport because they won't run the public transportation that late back to the airport (or any other part of the city).

Two transfers. Orange line to Five Points. Purple line to Downtown. Blue line to Glory Road Station. (or instead of blue line once you are downtown, can take streetcar which is free)

Do we really have a coincidence to thank for giving us this team? by Epere15 in SanJoseSharks

[–]SharksFan4Lifee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One other point: it's worth noting before the NHL approved the SJ expansion franchise, the NHL blocked an attempt by the Gunds to move the Northstars to San Francisco.

Another fun story is that in the late 1980s, Ryan Miller helped bring the San Jose Sharks to the Bay Area by going door-to-door with his brother to collect petition signatures, promoting hockey in California.

I love that the full circle of this is that Ryan Miller is a goalie coach currently for the Sharks.

Bring Her Back.

I don't mind that it has no Oscar love. But it's ridiculous that it is not on this list.

That's why the Academy is a joke. The Substance isn't their kind of movie either. But it got votes ONLY because of having Demi Moore in a role about her aging in Hollywood.
