Thunderbird Club

[Chucky Stiletti]

In Miami, our band worked in a restaurant/lounge (for 5 1/2 years, btw). They had a very temperamental head chef. If someone ordered a steak well done, he'd look in the meat drawer and pick the least attractive piece of meat saying "why waste a good piece if it's going to be burned to a crisp?".

not a fan but well done is easier said than done imho...

g to watch this flick - a star-studded cast including Vampira!

Classic '50s beatnik movie with a dark theme - Vampira was not in costume but played an angry coffeehouse poet. Adams Family "Uncle Fester" played the lead cop's partner and Robert Mitchum's brother Jim played 'Art Jester' (great comic-book name). Striking resemblance to brother Bob. Some great beatnik/bohemian lingo and a song about having 'the beat' - "don't bug me, daddy-o".

Woodshedding... yeah...
Been slamming my head against "when the house is a'rockin' " for a couple weeks now, super slow progress.

Cant get it above about 140 bpm so far.
Need to get up to 172.
And hold it together.

A few-using the name, but I question what they're serving.

You should be watching Stars Wild.

I prefer med to med-well. Noting burnt and dried out. Slight pink, still exceptionally tender.

A properly well done steak isn't burnt or much dried out, but almost nobody can do those properly any more.

There are allegedly three left. Not within a day's drive of here.

So it's a 43 man squamish team. I thought I knew all of those.

I bet Irv @Engle knows all about Squamish.

@Gaolee certainly should!

Cool.

Glad it wasn't figure skating chasing a piece of plastic like it was a doe in heat.

 

[Gaolee]

Busy day at work, a little woodshed time, dinner.........and it's still WBW.

It is the Betty Butt Bird.

 

[Gaolee]

@Gaolee certainly should!

As always, I admit nothing.

I bet the troll under the bridge could play the dummy position like no one else.

Well I know where Squamish is, and it doesn't have an NHL team!

43 man squamish (note lack of capitalization) is most definitely NOT hockey! In fact, it makes hockey look like a game for delicate snowflakes.

True story. When I was 15 or 16, an Augusta, GA radio station ran a contest one afternoon based on this sport. They asked what the five-sided field was called. I, of course, knew it was a flutney. But I had to call multiple times GETTING THROUGH EACH TIME before winning because the radio DJ and I pronounced it differently so he kept telling me I had the wrong answer. Finally I guessed what the problem was, tried a long u instead of a short u, and won "The History of Eric Clapton" album for my troubles.

Ah ha! You didn't correct the important part!
