Divisional Weekend Eve! Live Thread

Ah, the night before the NFL’s second round. The night before NFL’s Elite Eight is eventually dwindled to its Final Four. Hopes, dreams, and delusion reign, and for many, those will be crushed like an all-you-can eat gravy buffet in Indiana.

Tonight, though, we shall have to entertain ourselves. There is A LOT of NBA action, though I have absolutely no interest in listing any of it here. It starts at 19:00 EST on TWWL.

There is not one JV hoops game featuring a ranked team, though George Washington travels to Dayton at 19:00 on TWWL2. The Flyers are one of those mid-majors that you forget about until March, when they enter the NCAA Tournament as a ten-seed, and wreck your bracket all the way to the Sweet 16. Afterwards, Evansville (PURPLE ACES!) travel to Illinois State to play the Redbirds. One thing I love about nights like this are getting an opportunity to see weird teams and schools you never knew existed. It’s like #MACtion, but, uh… #OVCtion?

On the frozen water, the Ice Stillers travel to Tampa to face the Lightning, there’s another Original Six match-up, as the Blackhawks visit Toronto, and Anaheim hosts Dallas.

The PGA Tour’s first full-field tournament, the Sony Open in Hawaii’s, second round is on Golf Channel, also at 19:00. I know you’re ALL fired up for that!

Of course, there’s always our preferred option of time-wasting: ALCOHOL! Or, in the case of some others, medicinal and/or herbal substances! OR BOTH! The choices are your’s, and your’s alone!

He watches you masturbate.

Also, it merits mentioning our own Old School Zero must’ve had New School Zero give him tips from the future, because he just landed himself a new jorb. O AN U NOE HE GON DRANK.

LET’S CHAT, BITCHES

Shit, still thinking about food.

Had this shit in Memphis last October. Gus’s Fried Chicken.
Goodness.

Yeah Right Jenga move – Still alive!

ballsofsteelandfury

Still alive!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
ballsofsteelandfury

Moose has made his Jenga move. Who’s next?

ballsofsteelandfury

Jenga move – Balls

ballsofsteelandfury

No twigs n berries?

entropy

The secret to Jenga, like being a great sniper, is to move on the exhale, so there’s less CO2 in the bloodstream and your hands don’t shake….

entropy moves. Tower stands.

ballsofsteelandfury

I think replies to existing comments keep the tower up. It’s only brand new comments that remove pieces.

Doktor Zymm

I’m not the only one who ever played DIY drinking Jenga right? Where you write stuff on the pieces?

ballsofsteelandfury

What’s that?

entropy

I honestly cannot think of a single game I haven’t played with added rules and drinking.

Senor Weaselo

As in what/how much to drink? Color me intrigued.

entropy

No no, you write all manner of weird shit on the pieces, so each move gives you a task that you can choose to do, or you drink. Or both.

Doktor Zymm

You do what is written on the piece you draw. It might be drinking related, it might not. If you draw a blank tile, you get to pick what to write on it.

Doktor Zymm

For example, we had one piece that said “Play the rest of this game wearing only a towel of your choice”

Senor Weaselo

I was about to say “This gets very humiliating/sexy/both very quickly, doesn’t it.”

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s well done.

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m shocked we haven’t rolled over to a new page yet.

entropy

Gotta be getting close, right?

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m scared to type a new comment.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Let’s edge it for a few more minutes.

entropy

This is like the end of a really drunken game of Jenga.

Doktor Zymm

Just because it’s called goblin cock, doesn’t mean you are compelled to eat it.

entropy

I had no idea that anything else would be the case. Strange world.

ballsofsteelandfury

I dunno, I’d be tempted to eat it. Despite the name.

entropy

It’s got to be fun to just order it, right?

“I’ll take a Smithwick’s, shot of Jameson, and the Goblin Cock.”

Sort of feels like it should be shouted.

ballsofsteelandfury

GIVE ME A GOBLIN COCK!!

entropy

WHERE IN FUCK IS MY GOBLIN COCK?! WHAT KIND OF HALF ASSED GRAB-ASSERY IS GOING ON IN THAT KITCHEN THAT I AM STILL WAITING ON MY GOBLIN COCK?!

Senor Weaselo

That’s goddamn terrifying.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

AND sexy…..

Doktor Zymm

Eh, he needs a better ass to get away with the “Oops” face. Otherwise, very nice. Probably not a great kisser though.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Am I sorry I started burger porn wars early in the threat?

NO I AM NOT!!

I MADE AWESOME KIMCHI.

Also, that looks fucking amazing. I will continue to be pissed off that I don’t have a place that makes excellent sundubu jijae within walking distance.

ballsofsteelandfury

The Hot Stone bowls were unreal. That soup was bubbling and the other stuff was sizzling. You could feel the heat coming off them from inches away.

Doktor Zymm

You know it’s good when you have to wait 20 minutes to eat it without burning your face off. It’s been too long. So looking forward to my end of February trip.

ballsofsteelandfury

Did you figure out where you are going?

Doktor Zymm

Vietnam mostly, with a day in Seoul

ballsofsteelandfury

Sweet! That’s going to be awesome!

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, I haven’t been to Vietnam since 2007 I think? And Korea was 2009 or 10 last time. I’ll be in Cai Bei for half a week, Saigon for half, then Seoul for a day on the way back. I WILL BUY SO MANY 1000 won SOCKS WITH MONKEYS ON THEM.

Doktor Zymm

This one is my favorite…the Led Zepplin. Pulled pork, bacon, cheddar, and ONLY HEATHENS EAT A BURGER WITHOUT PICKLES YOU HEATHENS.

entropy

Pickles are fucking gross.

I said it. I stand by it.

Doktor Zymm

It’s okay, we can still be friends. MORE FOR ME.

entropy

That’s kinda how I figured it. I also find tomatoes to be somewhat lacking, so you can have those filthy things, too.

Doktor Zymm

You too? How do I weirdly make friends with the tomato haters of the world? Sundried tomatoes are nasty, but any other form I’m cool with.

entropy

I can’t explain it, they just have a weird texture to me.

Senor Weaselo

Yeah, I’m not a fan of tomatoes. Textural reasons. Sauces are fine, but tomatoes themselves, not so much.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Store bought tomatoes are tasteless.

Senor Weaselo

Hell no, fork ’em over.

Doktor Zymm

Let’s just split an order of fried pickles and all is simpatico.

ballsofsteelandfury

What kind of bun is that?

Doktor Zymm

They default to pretzel buns, so if it isn’t that it was a special request. Also, this here is the default, namesake burger.

Given the trend of this thread, I should mention that the burger topping some list of the best burgers in the US is a local Chicago piece of beefy decadence which I can get delivered to my condo. They also have excellent jalapeno poppers and name everything after metal bands. This here is the Goatsnake :

Alcohol and drunk food and coffee is a lovely combination.

ballsofsteelandfury

Have you seen our burger selection below?

American Pie Story

Oh yes. Lovely.

laserguru

My dear lord what in creation is that lovely thing?

That there is Lithuanian Fried Bread. The best, the sublime, the only thing I would eat until I died of a really happy heart attack, most amazing in the world beer food.

BTW, the one I had on Thursday was bison.

Oh friends! If you get a chance to eat bison, by all means do it. I would become a Buffalo Bills fan I love bison so.

entropy

Bison is really good.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Careful grilling/cooking it; very lean and needs to be tended to. Great stuff, also lamb, kangaroo, pork ‘n’ beef, I wanted to try the camel burger but went with kangaroo instead, elk makes great burgers if not overcooked.

My Counter burger is 1/2 lb grass fed beef and I add applewood bacon, sauteed mushrooms, a sunny side up egg, some smoked gouda and onion straws. The sauce is either a garlic aioli, Korean barbecue sauce or red relish.

Throw me a couple of local IPAs and I can handle it

ballsofsteelandfury

God Bless you Moose!

I have gone to both Five Guys and In N Out Burger a sum total of once, each, in my life. I did not care for either, for different reasons. One of my favorite burgers was from Monkey Burger in Tucson, AZ, and I generally find diner burgers to be the best damn things on the planet (if a diner fucks up a bacon cheeseburger, you never go back. It’s simple enough). Fast food does nothing for me.

Five Guys did win the award for both the most disgusting place I have ever eaten, as well as providing the greasiest damn brown paper bag I’d ever seen. It was see-through by the time I got home. In N Out I just plain didn’t like.

Also, being all East Coast n shit, I have to say White Castle is garbage. Pure, untreated sewage.

entropy

I think I upset the Moose.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

No, you seem monkey mad. I have no cow in this fight.

ballsofsteelandfury

Does the East Coast have any decent burger-specific places or is it really just the small diner burgers you like?

entropy

Around me, we have a wealth of locally-owned great burger joints. One opened a few years ago with 30 different specialty burgers, and I’ve made it through maybe half and been happy with all of them. It’s called The Burger Shack, and they do the whole “stuffed burger” thing really well.

I’m not a chain guy, so I usually don’t go to those kinds of places. A bar called Molly’s has 8 specialty burgers, all of which are awesome, that weird Giants bar I told you about actually has good burgers for a dive bar, and I can name another five or so places with just mouth-watering burgers that demand repeat business.

I’m kinda spoiled.

Doktor Zymm

There are good burgers on the East Coast, but there aren’t really good burger chains. I don’t trust any place with more than 3 establishments, and even that’s pushing it a bit.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Chili’s started here and we used to eat at the first one, well, it is way different now. I don’t go any more.

Gots to get the Cajun fries!

Senor Weaselo

It depends on what mood I’m in that day. But either way I usually ask for the fries well-done.

ballsofsteelandfury

Those are good.

laserguru

I’ve never had a Tommy’s, that’s an L.A. HERESY I know but I can’t get past the idea of adding fresh, cold, wet produce to a chili cheeseburger.

My brain shuts down trying to process it.

ballsofsteelandfury

You need to try one. You will promptly die from a heart attack, but you have lived a full life, so it will be worth it.

BTW, the only cold thing is the tomato slice, but that’s ok because it helps cool your mouth from the hot chili and burger.

JustStopDude

Sup…

Playing the old video games as I don’t feel like going out…trying to get rid of a cold before I go off on my business trip.

That woman is terrifying.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I KNOW, yeah, I got a boner too.

I didn’t say she didn’t get the motor running, just that she’s scary as fuck. She’s hide-the-knives hot.

Congratulations OSZ!

Don’t fuck it up.

laserguru

That’s our boy!
His Mama and I are so proud.

I don’t really understand this town’s fascination with In-N-Out Burger. It’s fine and fresh and hot but there are much better burger options out there. They opened a new In-N-Out on the drive home from work and sweet Jesus did it fuck up the traffic when it finally opened.

I’ll throw the first burger salvo:

Five Guys is MUCH better than In-N-Out.

So there!

ballsofsteelandfury

How DARE you!

To me, they are two completely different burgers, both good, so they are impossible to compare. I agree that the In-N-Out fascination/devotion by many people can be grating, but the burger is amazingly good.

As is Five Guys. Plus peanuts yo.

laserguru

If Five guys had beer stand the fuck back!

As it is I probably eat about 5 burgers a year, side effect of the whole “old” thing so if I’m gonna eat a burger I’m gonna do the shit right.

This is my joint right chere.

http://www.thecounterburger.com/

They DO serve beers, mostly local craft beers. SOLD!

ballsofsteelandfury

I just went to the DTLA location for lunch yesterday. They also have alcoholic milkshakes which are just fucking amazing.

The best part about The Counter is that you can build the burger to your heart’s content and, if it sucks, it’s your fault. A bit pricey, but worth it. The sides are good too.

laserguru

I will say that if I lived closer to Father’s Office (site of a previous DFO So-Cal outing) I would probably eat more than 5 burgers a year.

That shit’s ridiculous.

Show/actress? If that’s network TV, I may need to start watching that. Whatever that is.

entropy

That’s Kate Mara, from the “classic” Mark Wahlberg vehicle, Shooter (which managed to fuck up a perfectly great novel with a piss-poor adaptation).

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It also ruined a great opportunity for some nice Kate without the throw-up associated with Marky showing up on the screen..

entropy

And his fucking “southern” accent every time he spoke…. Jesus. That movie just makes me mad.

ballsofsteelandfury

I know you probably haven’t had one in ages because you want to stay alive, but a Tommy burger is a beautiful thing. That chili…

The last time I had one, I could smell the chili hours later through my sweat. I didn’t mind.
