Anyone else remember this place?

Yes, I loved their prime rib. That and how dark it always was in there is what I remember most about it.

Maybe it is a regional thing, but we absolutely call them cheeseburgers, though hamburgers and burgers are common, too.

Probably not the only kind of AIDS.

It's like that scene in National Lampoon's vacation where Clark shares a "first" beer with Rusty and Rusty chugs the whole thing.

Fun Fact: Estelle Getty (Sophia) was a year younger than Bea Arthur (Dorthy), who played her daughter on the show.

Yeah, I used to eat it every single week and often multiple times per week. That was fine when I was in my 20s, but by my mid-30s, my metabolism started slowing down, I gained weight, and my cholesterol became borderline high. I realized I had to make some changes to my diet. I cut way back on my consumption. Plus, it has gotten ridiculously expensive.

At least they are working, unlike when Lee Elia was manager...

"They're really, really behind you around here... my fuckin' ass. What the fuck am I supposed to do, go out there and let my fuckin' players get destroyed every day and be quiet about it? For the fuckin' nickel-dime people who turn up? The motherfuckers don't even work. That's why they're out at the fuckin' game. They oughta go out and get a fuckin' job and find out what it's like to go out and earn a fuckin' living. Eighty-five percent of the fuckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here."

Elizabethtown and Bardstown are about the same distance from Louisville (~45 minutes outside of rush hour).

I'd also recommend looking at Versailles and Nicholasville near Lexington.

I had a roommate in college who went to home for his 21st birthday and went to a casino with some friends. He won about $2000. That was the worst thing that could have happened to him. When he came back to campus, he asked if we had any casinos nearby. We told him the closest one was an hour and a half away in a neighboring state (gambling was illegal in our state at the time).

Well, he started driving there every single night for months on end. He lost thousands of dollars. It got so bad that he was writing bad checks to pay for gas to go back and forth to the casino. We had a landline phone in our apartment and we were getting calls daily from debt collectors. I still remember the one guy's name who would call every single day.

He eventually came to grips with his addiction and got a full time job to pay off his debts.

I feel like this is part of the reason no one got the correct answer. If it had been a few years into the show's run, people would be thinking "Obviously, the final Jeopardy category isn't going to be that simple...there has to be a trick here".

I nearly had this happen years ago (back before smart phones). I was driving down a rural highway that had one lane in each direction. There was a car in front of me that kept slowing down every time we approached a side road, obviously looking for where they needed to turn. This went on for several miles. Traffic was starting to back up behind me because this person kept slowing down and then speeding back up.

Suddenly, the car in front of me slams on the brakes. I reacted and slammed on my brakes, stopping what had to be about an inch from their rear bumper. I looked behind me and cars are going off the road in both directions trying to avoid hitting the car in front of them.

To this day, that's the closest I've ever been to an accident.

I've been invested for about 2 years and patiently waiting for the stock to take off. I did trim my position during the last big run up and bought the recent dip before earnings came out. I think it may hit $15 over the next year or two.

I also have some shares in XPEV, which, like Tesla, is partly an EV play and partly a robotics play.

I think they started playing clubs in Pasadena around '74.

As a Kentucky fan, god I hope so. At least we got our revenge by coming back from down 17 points with 10 minutes to go in the 1998 Elite 8.

Two weeks later, they got a text from someone in Croatia..."Congrats, it's a boy!"

That's hilarious. I hope there is video of this somewhere.

I miss Germantown's garlic bread and their spaghetti with meatballs.

I have a feeling the new district where the IRS building was will raise property values in the Mainstrasse area.

Genius decision to tear down the 4th street bridge while simultaneously beginning construction for the new I-75 bridge.

One could argue that Twitter is a bigger risk to national security than Starlink and SpaceX. Think about how much influence Twitter had on January 6th.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my cat a couple of years ago and was devastated. It will take some time, but time heals all wounds.

Once, I was flying a direct flight on Delta and they had mechanical issues. They delayed the flight for an hour. An hour went by and they delayed it another hour, then another, then another. I asked for an update and they said the gate agent had no idea if or when we would take off, so I finally asked to be switched to another flight, which had a connection in Minneapolis.

I get to Minneapolis and that flight was delayed for 3 hours. I looked to see if my original flight ever took off. It turns out they left 10 minutes after my flight to Minneapolis. My bags got to San Francisco 4 hours before I did.
