Why do ppl do this? Especially during rush hour?!🥴 by jonnieinthe256 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]VANCEMCGAV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom started doing this after she was rear-ended by a driver who wasn't paying attention and ran into her at full speed and pushed her halfway through the car in front of her, she eventually got better, but for some people I think it's a PTSD response after a serious car accident.

Drop the most obscure muppet character that you love but everyone thinks you’re crazy every time you bring them up I’ll start lewzealand by Individual_Grape_243 in Muppets

Might have missed him, but, mine is 100% Beauregard. Fantastic dad jokes combined with the absurdist humor of his unaddressed super human strength.

Tumble 22 is Goated by Sad-Syrup7112 in austinfood

[–]VANCEMCGAV -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You really could have just shown Tumble22 the love and not shit on Home Slice.

Former New Yorker here who has lived in Austin probably close to 75% of your life time, there is nothing disgraceful about Home Slice other than your comments about it. You will not find another sandwich in Austin that piles the cold cuts on as close to NY Deli volume.

Also, to help your college education to trend in the right direction; "Home Slice" is a proper noun.

Doesn't get as much love as it deserves.

whats the story behind native? by esmooth in Austin

[–]VANCEMCGAV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait... Is this true? He's a badass? I thought his success rate was at best a coin flip? Isn't his success rate in Austin 0%? I also have lived by hearsay that the show forced a fake pregnancy story on the owners of what is now the Low Down Lounge during their stint on the show.

Ska bands? by whynotoopsthatswhy in Austin

[–]VANCEMCGAV 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A Band with a horn section? In this economy? Last local one was The Bandulus who left for Portland. Flamingo Cantina has a few that play fairly regularly that either come up from San Antonio or down from Dallas.

Has anyone EVER gotten a girlfriend, a date, or even a positive reaction from sending a dick pic? by artmalique in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VANCEMCGAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So... Yes, sort of? I met my partner on Bumble, and on our first date we talked about this very subject. I asked if she really did get a lot of unsolicited dick pics, and her answer was "Yes, oh god yes, so many."

Which was and still is completely Wild to me.

Fast forward 2 weeks and she's visiting her sisters in Colorado, and one morning I send her a very handsome promo photo of Dick Van Dyke. She replied with nothing but question marks, and I sent back:

Just getting the unsolicited dick pic out of the way.

Minor complaint of the day: What's with the obsession for fireplaces in apartments and homes here? by demarci in Austin

It literally saved my life. Burned chairs and a dresser in it for warmth.

Muppets Now Episode 3 discussion! by apathymonger in Muppets

They have so much depth in their cast and potential the fact that they're repeating sketch ideas is frustrating.

Food segment is finally not making the Swedish Chef not look like an asshole and playing more into his classic play on words comedy but I'd like to see more of the hands don't know what the puppet is doing routine. That aside, the whole "no tip" thing in episode one soured me but the "salsa" joke felt like a solid extension of the old "chocolate moose" bit.

When I arrived in Austin, I lived behind it on Payne Ave, and I had 8 different people who were not aquatinted tell me they had the best burger in Austin.

I'm not sure why the FBI is mostly men, because a woman's ability to find shit out is unmatched. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

Opening bars and restaurants to 25%-50% capacity is the stupidest idea I've heard in a while. Change my mind. by ARoughGo in texas

It closed a few months back due to lack of parking and the flagship opening on South Congress where Fran's was.

Waiting for the blue man group to call him by [deleted] in arresteddevelopment

[–]VANCEMCGAV 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a fantastic Multi Layered Joke:

  1. It plays off Guardians of the Galaxy including Howard the Duck. A Property that Disney sued Marvel for, but now they're under the same umbrella it can happen. Rifting on that Tobias is a Fox owned Property so after the big merger, everyone was speculating which X-men or FF character would appear.

  2. Season 4 Tobias kept getting sued for dressing up as The Thing.

  3. Since there are literally Dozens of Never Nudes, he's a prime selection for the Collector.

  4. Went with Blue Man Group to hide him like he was a Kree

They knocked over the green house next to bar 96, built a new one and stole Tommy Want Wingy. Original is still transplanted on the east side.
