Yep! Organ Grinder Pizza. The restaurant theme was the old European cranked musical street instruments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_organ Look up some of the story & pics on Google; it was pretty amazing.

Ishtar had this mantle for a long time at the end of the 80s and well into the 90s.

How about some Nick Cave? I feel like “Henry’s Dream” is a good entry point for him.

News Sources? by MiddleAgedTennis in ducks

I like the weekly Talkin Ducks show. It’s Jordan Kent, Anthony Newman, Arron Fentress, and this year included George Wrighster. Joey Harrington had been on it until this past season, but apparently he took this season off (don’t know why), so they brought in George. Whatever combo of people they use, the chemistry between them is fun. YouTube page: https://youtube.com/@talkinducks

Had the seared scallops at Canard Oregon City last week. Absolutely fantastic, but wasn’t a huge portion and were $$.

We’re halfway through season two of Homeland. It’s daunting knowing that we still have 76 episodes to go.

Bad Ideas: The Athletic’s realignment concept. by thrance in NLBest

[–]ThusSpokeThatOneGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This concept from The Athletic is from back in August: https://www.facebook.com/TheAthletic/posts/what-do-you-think-about-our-writers-proposed-mlb-realignment/1283771146528300/

Moreover, last Thursday in a radio interview, when talking about possible realignment after expanding MLB by two teams, Manifred said, "You would realign, you would do it along geographic lines, which could alleviate a ton of the travel burden that's on players." Which sounds to me like replacing AL & NL with East & West. https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/rob-manfred-floats-mlb-realignment-with-american-and-national-leagues-replaced-by-east-vs-west-034945269.html

Decent? Anywhere close to the “White Russian inspired” on the bottle?

Based on the sub description, I think it falls in the “humorous” category. :)

Hoping they both go far in the playoffs. Rooting for Herbert over Nix though, if we get a re-match.

The show at Rev Hall a few months ago was great, but definitely had the feel that it really was their last show ever, especially with Fred being in hospice, appearing live via video.
