[Gutter]

mornin buddays.

[realmenhatelife]

This morning I read about this Hare Krishna militant vegan guy from this band (John Joseph from Cro Mags if you're keeping score) came out saying how the tsunami was a karmic reaction to Japanese fishing practices. He also implied that eating meat is accumulating a karmic debt that is going to cause the end of the world.


Reminded me of Fez' elephant.

[Misteriosa]

buddays :bye:

idk if there will be a spy chat room for a bit since he may be starting up work again :unsure:

[LeedsJr]

Whoa. Live version of NAS.

[jimmyolsenblues]

Holy Shit...live version?

[Misteriosa]

live scum... interesting..

[Furtherman]

I wonder if this is live from MSG on Saturday. A show that everyone seemed to be at.

[realmenhatelife]

I think you can watch video of the whole show.


We may finally be retiring this song, so psyched if that's the case.

[wkj]

Doesn't do it for me.:glurps:

Well.... I dig the album version.... but this live one isn't so great.

[Gutter]

it really stings when Ron does that whole, "its a friday" bit on monday.

[realmenhatelife]

Well.... I dig the album version.... but this live one isn't so great.

I just cant hear a song every day, listening to the Ron and Fez show made me take Sound of Silver off my ipod more than a year ago.

[CountryBob]

Morning all - Its an awesone 72 here in Bristol TN (high of 80) and I'm trapped in this damn office.
Thank God I have the Ron and Fez show to keep me company!

[LeedsJr]

Ron: "Anything edible here is expensive."

What a food snob.

[wkj]

Fuck your cousins is right!

[LeedsJr]

Umm... 10:15 is late for kids to eat.
Hell, it's late for me to eat.

[Misteriosa]

im so ready for a nap :dry:

[CountryBob]

eating late helps to create nightmares - fun!

[wkj]

Yea, a little late for me, I'm usually in bed by 9:00.

[CountryBob]

im so ready for a nap :dry:

Monday's suck - have you hit the 3 pm wall at 11:30? Red bull this mother out

[Warren Peace]

Fez's cousins had to get their kids up at 3 AM for an Akron-NYC flight? Did they Akron - LAX - NYC?

[CountryBob]

Had lunch at Cookout on Sunday - it was pretty neat. Awesome shakes

[wkj]

Fez's cousins had to get their kids up at 3 AM for an Akron-NYC flight? Did they Akron - LAX - NYC?

Yea, picked up on that too.

[realmenhatelife]

Yeah you cant feed kids dinner at 10:15. And depending on how young they are will determine if the shake shack thing is an issue. If you have little little kids I understand not wanting to stand around waiting for a table.

I also am not down for sitting down at 10:15, but I also would never call someone on Friday and say I need you to get us a table for Saturday.

[wkj]

Getting $5K of your own money back...taxes should be a zero sum game.

Ron can't understand how anyone who doesn't have a radio show from 11-3 lives their lives. There's a reason he was able to find an open table at 10:15, no one eats at that time.

[Misteriosa]

im gonna do my taxes this weekend. i hope i'll get something back :down:

Interest free loan to the government; but better that having to pay more.

It's Manhattan. He's right.

Eh, I routinely go to dinners at 930p or 10p, but I don't have children. I can't imagine children in a restaurant at that time.

[Misteriosa]

im talking as a single, hispanic female.

edit: also, if you look i wrote "everything right" in quotes.

[Gutter]

Fez sounds like Roland with that "no"

hahaha he did it again. hahaha

[underdog]

Suburban food, oh kiss my ass.

I work in the suburbs. Suburban food is shit. It's all fucking chains. There are good restaurants here and there, but there is way more unique, great food in cities.

[LeedsJr]

It's Manhattan. He's right.



Eh, I routinely go to dinners at 930p or 10p, but I don't have children. I can't imagine children in a restaurant at that time.

I disagree. I work on Pine Street. There are plenty of places within a couple of blocks of my office with reasonably priced meals. (Lunches under $15 and dinners under $30)

You're a female?

I wasn't insulted, I just didn't understand how not having kids was doing something right when it comes to taxes. I give my little deductions a big hug every year around this time.

I usually eat around 7ish. Ron must think I'm insane.

[realmenhatelife]

1. There are no shitty chain restaurants or shitty restaurants in general in a city? Oh right, they're just for the suburban people coming in, right?

2. I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia and I cant count the number of suburban places that make best of philly lists.

A city is always going to have more of these places because there are more people and more money. I wouldn't argue that. But dont act like taste has anything to do with location.

[foodcourtdruide]

Having pictures all around you is kind of like being in denial. What does this lady think denial is? If Fez thought his father was really alive he'd be insane, not in denial.

[LeedsJr]

Lunches, for sure. Are they good dinner places?

Well, I wouldn't take my wife to them for our anniversary, but their way past edible.

[underdog]

I usually eat around 7ish. Ron must think I'm insane.

If you work 9-5, I understand eating at 7. Even at home, I eat around 9pm or so.

[Misteriosa]

no matter how hungry i am, i wont allow myself to eat after 9pm. it gives me bad dreams and helps make me fatter. :down:

Cities are also filled with chain restaurants. But the quality of restaurants in most suburbs is terrible. It's just fucking strip malls filled with awful chains like Red Lobster and Olive Garden.

I love the riverfront area in Philly, with all the little pubs and reastaurants.
Does that make me just a tourist who doesn't know better, or do the locals like that area as well?

That sounds like a nice area. They have a place like that in Providence that's really cool.

[Misteriosa]

chain restaurants are just breaking into the bronx (im not counting fast food places like wendy's etc). the smaller mom and pop places are still going strong tho.

i like the manayunk area. its cute. i bet the rent there is manhattan crazy tho :o

fuck! what movie did i hear that in!!! :wallbash:

i want to say cobra

edit: this is gonna bother me now

[Misteriosa]

lost boys maybe?

[LeedsJr]

Pretty sure that's what they said it was.

[Furtherman]

I'm actually from that area... it's a total turnaround from the dump it was in the 70s-80s. Rent was very cheap. I lived in a place with 5 bedrooms and it was $180 a month. Each. But that was 12 years ago. Nowadays, it's much more expensive, but still cheaper than NYC.

[Misteriosa]

Pretty sure that's what they said it was.

heh i missed that part then. i think it may have been when they were in the club, becuase i remember seeing some glee looking guy with muscles playing the sax

[realmenhatelife]

Cities are also filled with chain restaurants. But the quality of restaurants in most suburbs is terrible. It's just fucking strip malls filled with awful chains like Red Lobster and Olive Garden.

The quality of most restaurants is terrible, it has nothing to do with where they are. When I'm in the city I see way more shitty take out places than chef/owner run places. Food snobs love to run shit down. They unironically tout farm to table and act like the people in the places where the farms are dont know anything about food. They accidentally grew some shit and the benevolent city dwelling higher race came out and explained how you can actually eat those funny colored tree rocks that pop out of the dirty every time Mr Sun gets friendly again.


I'm not going to listen to a guy who smokes cigars tell me my palate is shit.

[Misteriosa]

Tim Capello's cover of The Call's "I Still Believe" was featured in the film as well as on the soundtrack. Tim Capello makes a small cameo appearance in the movie playing the song at the Santa Cruz boardwalk, with his saxophone and trademark bodybuilder muscles on display.

Careful Misti, thats nearly out of the city limits, there might be some chicken finger cross over from the dirty suburbs.

Those are GREAT points.

[realmenhatelife]

But to illustrate my point there is an Indian place in KoP that was best Indian Food for the Philly area by Philadelphia Magazine one year. A 20 minute drive from KoP and you hit a ton of great places that even city folk condescend to eat at.

I make no excuses for Bridgeport, which is a bit of a shit hole.

There is a set menu, family style, 1 seating a night place in West Chester that was on everyones list this year that I garunteee is harder to get into than anything in the city.

I don't particularly disagree with you.

All I know is the majority of people have a taste for shit, it just seems to be a higher percentage to me in the suburbs, mainly because I know a lot of people in the suburbs and they love shit. They want all their houses to look exactly the same and have the same choices for food wherever they go.

But think about what you just said. How is that different from living in a box in a sky tower and having to order food every night because you dont have a kitchen or easy access to a grocery store? Not being able to cook for yourself is something I find very, very sad.

The majority of people have taste for shit, leave it at that. Anyone who thinks its so much better in the city doesn't pay much attention. You've never gotten on a train and heard "yo yo yo son, let me get one of those organic golden baby beets."

[IamFogHat]

How we doing today buddays?

[realmenhatelife]

I know you're busting balls so I wont point out Philly's current food rep.

[Lemieux66]

The worst part about suburban food is the lack of authentic ethic places. It's embarrassing when people rave about Chinese, Thai, etc. restaurants and the kitchens are full of Mexicans.

I live in a city and I cook for myself all the time. As do the majority of my friends. But you're right. I think people are just lazy.

I just have many more options for great food, cooked by someone else, in a city. And it has a lot to do with great restaurants not being able to survive in the suburbs. People there, for the most part, would rather something cheap, quick and familiar than to try something new and slightly more expensive. My favorite sub shop is in a suburb of Boston and struggles to stay open, while every shitty chain around it thrives.

Of course not.

And people shouldn't be judged for that. Not everyone eats recreationally but food people judge them like they do. I know people who hate eating, and put as little thought into it as possible.

My biggest issue with the attitude is a majority of the time you say to someone "you should eat better" you're actually saying to them "you should have more money" or "be more educated." I think it's an incredibly crass thing to do. As I've said before food judgement is an extremely classist thing.

I agree, to an extent. When I'd work in the ghetto, I'd see McDonalds and Burger King packed constantly with large families. Even as cheap as that is (which it really isn't if you get a meal), it's not cheaper than cooking at home. But it's just laziness. My mom would bring me and my sister to McDonalds because she didn't feel like cooking.

Spent most of the day yesterday riding backroads in the country - wow it was a great battery re-charge for me. Grindlock on the 95 would make me go "Falling Down" like Mike Douglas.

This caller has a point.

No Ron, prejustice is often the result of the actions of others. We all have them and is not neccessarily a bad thing.

[CountryBob]

Will Ron bring up brother Randy? I doubt it.

[wkj]

At a resturant the other day, two cars parked in the parking lot, driving lane, opposite direction, drivers out yacking (not a wreck), screaming at the other drivers "You're idiots if can't get between, you shouldn't be driving". I'm prejudise against people who block parking lots.

You mean, lessons to be learned?

What's the agenda of The Goonies or Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

"Lessons to be Learned" is an agenda.

Goonies agenda was to fight against the fat cats from taking their homes.

Tex Masacre's agenda was dont visit Texas

[LeedsJr]

What's the agenda of The Goonies or Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

Easy.

The Goonies: Rich people are no match for underground pirate ships.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Texas sucks.

He was in Jaws 3-d, what an embarrassing movie that was.

Hey you guys!

Goonies never say die!

I like the Dennis Quaid. Good actor. Not always great movies, but he's always good.


But please please please ask about Randy!!!


I know he won't... but I'd love to hear what he thinks about his brother.

Hey, that coke habit he had back then wasn't going to pay for itself.

Oh - here we go!!

Shit fuck - well played Mr. Bennington, we almost got some dirt.

Nicely done Ron.

my cousin uses those and he says the problem is, with a normal cigarette, you know when you're done with it....with the smoke stick, its difficult to judge when to put it down. he sits at the computer puffing on one of those the entire night. it does deliver an amount of nicotine, but i'll agree its obviously healthier than a regular cig.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Re: Ron asking about Randy.

I was actually annoyed Ron asked him about Randy. I thought Ron had more tact than that. Ron shouldn't have dug deeper once Dennis said they hadn't talked in a few years. Considering how batshit Randy's been, that would have been a clue to drop it.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Fuck Pats and Genos.

I always get embarrassed when I tell someone out of area to "try Chink's."

[fezident]

I completely agree with Tenbats.
I've never heard Ron be SO obvious & clumsy as when he awkwardly tried to get Dennis to give up a little Randy Quaid dirt.

That was some fingercuffs-level subtlety, Ron. Jeesh.
