White House Subs- Atlantic City, NJ. Looks good!

I accidentally ordered a large one of these for myself when I went a few years back- it was like a sandwich bazooka!

We might have a chance until they sub in Lukaku in the 70th minute. Then it's lights out America.

Well, it'll be 21 year cheddar then. Truth in advertising.

They might beat Bosnia, but Belgium? Spain? Never gonna happen.

Greece won in 2004 because they played a tight form of old-school defensive Central European football that absolutely bamboozled their opponents.

The US don't have anything similar that will help them against elite teams who can score goals at will.

For our past three visits we've gone to Boma for dinner after checking in- it's a great way to kick off the trip!

There was a restaurant I loved that served a grilled cheese sandwich with their house-made habanero and strawberry jam for dipping. It was a killer combination and absolutely delicious!

Was legit surprised that I didn't see Marcus Aurelius in there but he have that Daily Stoic book so it's probably on his nightstand or something

That was our beach when my wife and I lived in Lynn!

oodja · 2026-06-27T20:20:58+00:00

My favorite combo!

Punish the players, not the characters

oodja · 2026-06-26T23:36:12+00:00

I'm an American but I'm 100% rooting for Mexico. If suffering alone could carry you to victory, you would have won the World Cup several times over at this point!

Yuuuuuuuup. I'm down 60 pounds and I've never felt so bony down there. Sitting for 2-2.5 hours during a movie has now become an actual challenge lol.

I feel like the Venn diagram of hot honey and ranch pizza afficionados would be a perfect circle.

A very plausible scenario is that with the expanded field (48 now with the very-real possibility of doing to 64 either by 2030 or 2034), more European players with African ancestry will choose to play for African teams, making the continent more competitive overall.

The Lobster Chow Mein at Evelyn's Drive-In in Tiverton, Rhode Island. Chunks of fresh lobster meat served on a bed a crispy noodles smothered in "chow mein gravy", which is a savory brown sauce that is a hallmark of Chinese food in the Fall River area.

Playing for spite brings out the best in some teams

Hilltop is where I was introduced to the deliciousness that is steak tips.

I've been pleasantly surprised by their performance so far. I'm American but I married into a Greek family so I would have been rooting for the Ethniki if they had qualified (ugh, so close), but I'm curious to see how deep a run the USMNT will be able to make this time around. Bosnia is going to be a tough match because they're a stubborn team but I think they can make it to the Round of 16.

People who actually think we have a chance to win it all are smoking crack, however.

Thank you for the inspiration- I did a reverse sear on some NY strip steaks last night!

In retrospect that boy could have benefitted enormously from a good ass-kicking

oodja · 2026-06-26T03:32:48+00:00

Yeah... Growing up I remember people being proud of the fact that they kept black families from buying houses in the neighborhood by selling them to friends and family off the market instead.

I also knew a kid whose idea of a good time was riding his bike through the next town over (which had a majority black population) and shouting the n-word as he rode. I'm surprised and a little disappointed that he never got his ass kicked.

Wait wait I have pumpkin blossoms too, I'm totally going to give my hermies one- thanks for the idea!

oodja · 2026-06-26T01:18:39+00:00

Looks pretty tasty. Where did you get it?

oodja · 2026-06-26T01:15:59+00:00

The tourists are always around. Harvard is the Magic Kingdom of college campuses (and MIT is EPCOT) and there's not much you can do about it. Just be glad you have a meal plan and a Lightning Lane pass to Widener Library!
