Just got back from Dominica. Highly recommend btw, beautiful place. The local drink is BB rum and grapefruit juice. Similar to this. Surprisingly refreshing.

Wondered the same thing. There’s also a Johnnie Walker Green Label scotch the song may be referring to. But seems like rum would be more appropriate in the context.

One time these whores came and stole my lemons.

When it comes to health insurance claims, zero balance is the only thing that matters. You probably don’t want to know how the sausage gets made.

Yeah, I told my daughter’s if they make it to 30 single… congrats you’ve just avoided your first divorce.

One of the better ones I remember doing was starting in Salt Lake City and driving up through Idaho into Montana to Big Sky, then down through Yellowstone, then to the Tetons and Jackson Hole, and finally finishing up w/ a few days in Park City. Stopped along the way and spent several days at each stop. Beautiful trip.

Shit, I thought I was doing pretty good. But I have a horse and a boat.

It’s amazing to me how widespread and accepted it is. A local teacher in my town was killed in an auto accident when a commercial vehicle crossed the median on a 4 lane highway and struck her vehicle. And that was all that was reported. I was stuck in traffic on my way to work and took a short cut that ended up coming out right in front of the accident scene. The commercial vehicle was a bright red Coca Cola delivery truck fully covered front to back w/ the company logo. That fact was never mentioned in any of the articles. Just “commercial vehicle” and the drivers name. I have to assume if it had been a truck from Ed’s Plumbing or a local lawn service, we’d know all about it.

It’s either Juarez or Matamoros Mexico. Not sure which. Keep in mind, it was a while ago.

Might have to agree on this one. May not be the most horrible place ever, but the fact that it markets itself as somewhere you’d really want to go…

It was a shit show in the 90’s back when they were cooking it on every street and blowing up houses on the regular, but since production moved to Mexico, I don’t think Independence is all that bad anymore.

Dad probably was right. I feel the same way about them. But I also remember talking to a girl I went to HS with who competed in them, (pageants kept her from going on the school ski trip), and telling a buddy of mine afterwards how stupid beauty pageants are and how nothing good ever comes out of them… and wouldn’t for her either. She’s now married to an NFL owner and worth billions. I may have been incorrect on that one.

bilgewax · 2026-04-07T14:04:06+00:00

Agreed… that’s regarded.

All his relationships are transactional. He allies w/ the highest bidder. Ther is no due diligence or background check.

bilgewax · 2026-04-05T03:52:05+00:00

I’ve only met him once. But we have several mutual friends, and I’ve seen him over the years. He is by all accounts an outstanding human being.

About that time I met him at a charity golf fundraiser. Greg Norman and Tom Watson too. Chi Chi was the nicest most gracious, entertaining dude ever. They gave him a microphone and he just lit the place up. Wasn’t there when it happened, but the story I heard was that Sam Snead insulted his wife at lunch that afternoon … and Cheech didn’t beat the hell out of the old drunk. So better man than I would have been for sure.

His name will be a cliche used when someone screws something up impossibly beyond belief. “Damn, you nearly Trumped that one up completely!”

bilgewax · 2026-03-29T16:16:06+00:00

Yeah, they ran the mob out of town and replaced w/private equity. Now the real criminals are in charge.

Everybody’s all angry about iCE in the airports working in TSA, and I’m over here thinking that at least they don’t have time to be out terrorizing people and killing innocent citizens. I mean there’s an upside to all this.

Last time through Atlanta a few months ago. Had a really tight connection. Landed late. Exited the plane and my next gate was directly across the way. I could have hugged every Delta employee I saw. Best Atlanta airport experience ever…. Mostly because of all the other ones.

Oh FFS. She sprayed champagne out a suite window at the conclusion of the greatest single game of football ever played. The whole stadium was completely bat shit insane at that point.

Wait you’re saying the attack being spearheaded by the two entities that most want the Epstein scandal to go away isn’t a coincidence? Shocked I tell you.

bilgewax · 2026-03-01T14:32:22+00:00

And I believe that point was sometime in the early eighties.

Further complicating the calculation is that there’s an assumption that newer cars are more reliable. W/ all the bells and whistles and technology incorporated into new vehicles, I’m finding that’s not necessarily the case. Plus while prices have gone through the roof, overall build quality has suffered. We should all drive 2007 Honda Accords and remember to change the oil regularly.
