...and that money has been keeping them afloat ever since.   (JK)

The last time I went to one, not counting a bachelor party bus that stopped in, was 2003 or 2004. My wife and kids went to NY to visit our nephew. A friend calls me on a Friday and says he will be at the criket after work. It’s on the way home so I meet him. Everybody is gone so I have no responsibilities this weekend. Then I realize after about 25 minutes, I paid $5 to get in.  $6 for my labatt. And instead of the girls on the stage I am watching ESPN.  I guess I grew up at that point. 

I partied in New Orleans with Franco Harris in 2002.  But I was too drunk at the time to realize it until they left and some college kids asked us if that was him. That is probably why they were hanging with us. Super Bowl week in one of the bars sharing a high top and buying rounds while listening to a band.

Wow, that's wild! I don't remember where I read that but it might have been FB. I should know better if that's where it was. You can' trust squat on that site.

Good news just the same. He is one of my all time favorites. 

AI has made FB almost unusable other than direct communication with people you know/trust and established groups you are a part of.  You all know I love space and get fed so much crap that's just plain wrong.  Nothing harmful but a 7 paragraph AI written spiel that looks like it was written by AI 4 years ago while still learning.  Same extends to entertainment.   

And when someone dies or a tragedy happens you get AI photos related to that.  "Oh, a flood happened, here's Mick Jagger, dressed like Mick Jagger, helping out."  "Oh, Robert Duvall died, here's his widow holding his Emmy and Oscar on his couch crying".

My mom reads this stuff and will say "I didn't know Jason Benetti had cancer and was dying".  Why did she say that?  It was on her Ipad.

If he was a right winger he'd be elected President.

The left purges their pedos. The right elevates and defends them.

Shooting fish....

Jesus Christ...the stupidity

I know he's got a lot of movies but for me my favorites were Delta Force and the Missing in Action movies.  Pillars of my middle school years and they were Cannon Films to boot.

I seriously wonder whether Dan has a shot at the broadcasting wing of the Hall of Fame. He's not nearly as famous as most of the announcers there, but he is a broadcaster's broadcaster.

I think so.  If you do it for a long time I think you get in.  Are there any not in that have the longevity?  It's not a rhetorical question.  I ask it because it seems like some get in that I only know in passing.

Wasn't she the one who gave a SOTU response years ago that looked like some chick from a reality show about Christians who have 15 kids where the wife submits totally to the husband and it turns out every male in the family are sexual predators?

the hardest part wouldn't be consuming it.  It would be waiting the 9 innings to do it.  I'd finish the 4 ounces for the first hitter.  Then buy another beer while I wait for the next inning.

The game is 1 beer/dog per inning

meanwhile... ICE....

but go on...

you are so bad at this it's not even challenging. 

I think the title is great reminder to how dumb and wrong they are.... after all we're on page 15.... still there.

They’re too busy thinking about everyone’s genitals. 

Is that what the grass is about?  Trying to show that they at least make sure....

and that's not a stretch.  There are radical preachers and other religious eaders on the right who think that as soon as a girl hits puberty she should be having kids.

You’d be surprised, not really, to know who thought that was funny. The person who probably holds up his eyelids when calling a Chinese restaurant.

Would you rather that US justice be moving toward or away from being like Iran?

And if you are sitting on death row in Arkansas or Tx you might might be forgiven for not being aware of the difference.

You are showing too much respect for the intelligence of the person you are writing to. His folks are jealous of the power of the ayatollahs.  They’re too ignorant to remember. Too busy thinking about grass or some dumb ****. 

The N word is better then Viagra for maga voters. 

Tommy Lasorda spent a lot of time at the flight club during the all star game week in2005. That’s on Michigan Ave in Inkster. 

I know I could do it

He's calling Michigan and Michigan State

We had it scheduled to watch Saturday night but got distracted.  We wanted to see it before the Oscars.

If you saw "The Crown" when Anthony Eden is obsessing over Nassar and the Suez.  That guy at least knew what he was doing but he was an old man in a hurry trying to cement his reputation apart from Churchill.  

It was the last time i recall that the US and UK were on significantly opposite sides of a crisis where military assistance would not be forthcoming.   History rhymes. 

I loved that show but stopped when they got to Di and Charles... I figured I experienced all of that already via tabloids.  But I learned so much before.  Great show. 

Is "touch grass" the "6-7" equivalent for MAGA?

Dearborn has 3, Silver Criket, BT's, and the one mentioned above, don't recall the name.  There was one on Ford road but that was technically Detroit.  Used to go to theC Criket a lot.   My wife worked with a girl at McDonald's who later went there.  Played an April Fool's joke on me one year where she called to tell me she went to interview... got as far as "I took my top off for the guy" before I lost it and she had to admit it was a joke.

For being under Sharia Law.....

These places really aren't popular among the kids anymore.  My son is 25 and he and his friends think they are dumb.  A family member got married recently and his future step son tried to arrange a party bus to go and I had absolutely no interest.  Sounds gross now especially since those girls could be our daughters.

Are the strip clubs part of Shariah?   How do they dance in burkas? 

They absolutely are not.

But like many religions.... there's some who ignore it.  There's a famous local guy who is prominent at anti gay topics at school boards, he's tried to run for office, now he got busted for drugs... but his IG is now private after people exposed him in the various "champagne rooms".

Benetti doing NCAA games this weekend?  I know he's got Michigan and State today.  Wonder if htat played into the decision.  Were they on TV twice this spring? Seems low.

The owner of LaShish fled the country years ago on terrorism charges. At some point former employees got the name and opened up what has essentially become a chain of Lashish places around the area. In some cases the name slightly changed but they use the same font and color scheme. the original la shish was in west Dearborn in a building that was since demolished and built back up.
That Gentleman’s Club you refer to, about 10 or 15 years ago, sold the most alcohol in the state other than the Palace. Not sure what.was going on there.
