That's not exactly what I said. But the location of the porch to place some firewood rather than having to stack it in the pit really solved my concerns. And stoves are great too
nothing stimulates conversation like a mid july braves game against the nationals on the conversation pit tv
Hell yea, Chili's "Chili’s bucked this year’s restaurant slowdown. Institutions like Red Lobster and TGI Fridays filed for bankruptcy, Denny’s and Applebee’s announced major store closings, and customers reached their breaking point with McDonald’s, Burger King and KFC’s prices. But Chili’s is winning customers hunting for deals with $6 margaritas and a new $10.99 “Big Smasher” burger it advertises as “twice the beef of a Big Mac” as part of a special with an appetizer and a drink. At the same time, Chili’s is drawing customers with more discretionary income willing to spend on pricier options like margaritas with Casamigos and Don Julio tequila, steaks and ribs. Chili’s sales at restaurants open for at least one year surged 14.1% last quarter and 14.8% in the prior quarter. Chili’s streak has lifted Brinker’s (EAT) stock more than 200% over the past year. “It’s sort of unheard of for a mature brand with more than 1,000 restaurants to put up these types of numbers,” said Brian Vaccaro, an industry analyst at Raymond James. “The trends are just getting stronger and stronger.” https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/12/20/business/chilis-comeback
I saved my local Chili's in its darkest hour by ordering enough skillet queso that my blood type turned to sodium and now get to see them thrive and spread their wings. This must be what it is like to be proud of your kids, something I will never feel towards my abominable sons, Brayslin and Jaxston
we are the b&g’s strongest soldiers. even as the woke mob tried to pretend chicken crispies and cold beer weren’t good, we never wavered
Have it on a rotating section of wall with a piece of art on the other side. Art when your entertaining in the pit, TV when everyone gets lit enough to show them your HS highlight film.
you are a fucking liar. i *drank* there alone. my wife showed up after and split the triple dipper with me
A lady at the airport tried to rope me into a conversation about what the best party I've ever been to was and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I legitimately regret not hearing their answers because it was probably a hell of a discussion.
Late 90's College Station on Tech visiting weekend I believe the group that organized it was called 'partners in agriculture ' and had shirts and keg cups made with a graphic of raider red and that dumbass aggy character climbing on a longhorn trying to wrangle him or something. All i remember was it was all outdoors, there were multiple enclosed trailers outside filled with kegs, with taps piped into them and guys moving the taps from empty to full kegs. First time I had ever seen shot blocks. Farm trailer with live band(s) playing on it. There was a big house with bathrooms, but only females were allowed to get in those lines. There were multiple areas outside with temporary wooden fence panels set up that were the men's restrooms. I recall holding girls that I had never met hands while they squatted to pee behind that fence while I was trying to pee with the other hand next to them Huge field out front where everyone parked. I remember after things winded down we were out in the field and my aggy friend was pulling people out of the loose dirt/mud. There were tow trucks around because a bunch of people were getting stuck and we assumed people were calling them. Ended up in a good old fashion redneck standoff with a tow truck driver because we were offering to pull a car out for free and they were trying to do it for like $200. Sheriff deputy came over and somehow let us drive off drunk as hell while appeasing the tow truck driver so he could charge the poor kid. I had that cup from that party for probably 10 years until it finally fell apart
I'm 90% certain that the conversation of the aforementioned group probably lead to massive arguments just based on context clues. The woman was a wild girl and they all seemed pretty deep in the count in mid afternoon for a flight from LA to a ski town.
Randomly asking people at the airport what is the best party they've ever been to I can't imagine turns out well in general. Just politely ask me if I'm lifestyle, test the waters a little bit lady.
Obviously I've had a lot - but MLS waking me up because the Stanford AD was calling furious about the party we did after the Rose Bowl was hilarious. "Eathan, it's fucking Stanford!" I feel like she could have explained it slightly more effectively but nonetheless I'm pretty sure I'm dead to Stanford for postgame events.
On that same topic: XIV was probably the best recurring party in LA during my timeline Also one of the dumbest operational items in the history of nightclubs was allowing literal banana peels into an already slippery landscape - was an absolute disaster that I'm thankful to have only attended and not been liable for
I put super concentrated liquid capsaicin in my bird seed and it doesn’t even deter them any more. Those furry little bastards are an unstoppable force.
Daniel Ocean dblplay1212 i have a new best friend. Just have to figure out how to steal her from my human best friend lol.
Ceiling is so much higher on pork belly and chicken, and the eggplant floor is the lowest. I’d want lay eyes on them before ordering confidently.
