We know how much you like getting porked.

eCat · Post by **eCat** » Wed Aug 26, 2015 11:03 am

speaking of porked, I'm a big fan of City BBQ here in Cinci - a chain but pretty straight up bar b q

but I stopped at Dickies (which is a bigger chain I think) and it was damn good stuff - better than City BBQ.

Its worth the extra 10 minute drive.

You got porked at Dickie's?

Dickies is awful here. Might be varying tastes, since people here are going to be ordering brisket.

Guy comes home from work, ecstatic. "Honey, pack your bags! I just won the lottery!" Wife is stunned. "Oh my god, that's fantastic! What should I pack?" Husband says, "I don't care, just pack your shit and get the fuck out of here!"

really? maybe I hit them on a good day. I wasn't expecting much but even the kids who don't normally get excited about bbq were talking it up.

An old jewish man comes upon a genie's lamp and rubs it. Out pops the genie, telling him he'll grant him one wish. The old jew pulls out a map of the middle east and says "there's been war and bloodshed here for centuries, can you bring peace to this region?" and the genie says "even with all my powers (and all my skills), that's beyond what I can do. Let me grant you another wish." So the old jew says "I've been married to the same jewish woman for over 50 years and not once has she given me a blowjob. Could you get her once, before I die, to give me a blowjob?" The genie says "Let me have a look at that map again..."

Love City BBQ. It's a Sunday Football tradition.

my son informed me last night that him and 3 other friends are going to rent an apartment for their freshmen year in college.

its one of those moments where you realize he is just 17 and you don't want to totally crush his dream but you have to point out some basic facts to him

like he's only earning $140 a month and his total work experience has been 2 months AND he hasn't even picked out a college yet.

We've all been there though - the thought of independence, getting away from the parents and striking out on your own is compelling to the point that you just assume you'll get by. But then it really happens and you find yourself eating ramen noodles 4 nights a week, driving 20 miles to do laundry at your parents house and having a roommate who blew thru his rent money for the month at a strip club on a girl named after a german car

The kid has his own 42in TV, xbox one, laptop computer, chrome book, LG G3 phone, a good running sedan that's paid for and a stocked pantry (none of which he's ever contributed a dime to), gets to keep his own hours more or less and his total commitment is putting dirty dishes into the dishwasher, taking out the trash, throwing his laundry down the laundry shoot and mowing the back yard once every 2 weeks - and in his 17 year old logic, whats waiting for him rooming with 3 other guys in some shithole apartment is better for him. Plus he's working 2 nights a week and gets to spend that money on whatever he wants.

I'm trying to respect his desire to be independent but its very hard to not go into the "wtf are you thinking" mode right now with him.

Many colleges make freshmen live in the dorms...

In other news, my brother met Alice Cooper yesterday... on the golf course. He (Alice) was playing with a buddy of ours. Evidently Cooper and Motley Crue are playing in Raleigh tonight and our buddy has a VIP package and backstage passes. Woo hoo. Never figured that guy for a metal head...

Damn, I just googled Alice Copper, one of the hits was "Alice Cooper saved by golf?" The headline on the webpage is "Alice Cooper traded booze for birdies, and he writes about saving his life through golf in his just-published memoir, "Alice Cooper, Golf Monster: A Rock 'n' Roller's 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict"...

I am taking my son and 3 of his buddies to see Motley Crue and Alice Cooper Sunday night for his 20th bday - I'll mention your name and see what that gets me.

My 20 year old moved back in after dorm life for a year. At first, I thought, cool, we'll save some money, but now I would rather him not be here. He's turned my office into an engineering lab and it's one more body fighting over the 3 tvs we have in the house. Plus he eats like crazy. He's starting to make us claustrophobic. He works 24 hours a week at $12 an hour now so I'm thinking he may need to find those friends and live in that shithole.

My son's freshman dorm room is $3900/semester. He shares a 200 sq ft or so bedroom with his roommate, and they have a small den area and a bathroom he shares with 6 other guys.

All his food is paid for, though...which is nice...

Not everyone thinks this wild new scheme with its many complicated phrases and odd new words is a great idea.

Really? That sentence should read "Very few think this wild new scheme with its many complicated phrases and odd new words is a great idea."
