So I'm sitting in a bar across from two very large women and I say, "Cool accents are you two from Scotland?"

One yells back, "IT'S WALES YOU IDIOT!"

I say, "Ok, so are you two whales from Scotland?"

I don't remember much after that...

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Sure about that?

Have a read of that article I posted up.

I know, I know... it puts everything you thought you knew about chili into a tailspin but beans came later. Chili is short for the Mexican dish, Chili con Carne.

Hmmmm, no. Chili is Texan, not Mexican...

The upshot of the whole thing is: Life is too short to drink crappy beer

Denny’s and breakfast menues... Didn’t they serve breakfast menues at all times?

I recall having had breakfast at them pretty late at night in Waikiki several times during a couple of trips to Hawaii...

No Denny's, Thanks. Last time resulted in the Green Apple Two-Step.

All this talk about Skynyrd, beer, chili and burgers...
Here's a gratuitous Leon Wilkeson pic;

Wow! Haven't heard that one for a while!

Sure that's not Ed King? Doesn't look like Leon..

Are alarm systems popular in Europe? If you just bump into my truck, it’ll chirp a warning. Bump it again, and it goes off very loudly.

Some have them, but in general no one reacts to them...

I personally find them being an annoying source of sound pollution...

In the '50s the most popular beer in Miami was a local brew named "Regal"-unpasteurised like Coors. Bud couldn't make inroads so AB bought up Regal, changed it and buried it. Damn shame.

All scotch is whisky, not all whisky is scotch.

I like Venn diagrams.

All Whisky is Scotch. The rest is just Whiskey. I'm having a pedantic Monday. Keep the beans in my chili. No meat unless it's pork. Thank you.

That's like in a mall here. Nobody pays attention.

Nope, we don't want details.

For many years I lived in the downstairs half of a house in Bondi. The arseholes in the next house over had a burglar alarm that used to like going off, particularly in warm weather. The siren was in the narrow pathway between the houses directly outside my window -- aka a canyon -- and was as loud as fvck.

It would go for 20 minutes, reset and go off again, reset and go off again, reset ...

One day I rang the polis and they duly turned up, inspected the outside of nextdoor, pronounced all clear and turned the alarm off. They told me 'next time this happens, as soon as it goes a second time, just turn this switch off'. It was the main power switch for their entire house!

On numerous subsequent occasions much vicarious pleasure was derived from hearing the arseholes next door arriving home to a dark house and defrosted food.

I do enjoy a good Skynyrd chat, they nearly always end up with someone saying they were crap and tuneless.

And someone will say they were racist, but wait.... and pro gun, but wait....You either get them or you don't.

They are always the best.

Revenge is a dish best served partially defrosted ....

They officially dropped the confederate flag last year.
