Maybe so, but if Snoop opened a Vietnamese restaurant called “Pho Shizzle”, I’d be there the next day. Get thee to Seattle! (It isn't Snoop, but still!) We were in Seattle the past few days. I saw this place and told my wife, "Hey! Swamp reference!" https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4d/47/b5...

It's a funny thing. Football makes you have a great military, Aussie rules football makes you have a lesser military, Rugby makes your military great in the 19th century, and Futbol, well, the evidence suggests it might be connected to terrorism.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random

I used to golf regularly. I come from a family of serious golfers. But one day I had an epiphany. Golf didn’t relax me . It usually frustrated me. A sinkhole of time and lots of expense for something that brought more displeasure than pleasure. So I haven’t played now for ten years and don’t miss it...

Re: Can't always eat right - Official junk food thread

For health reasons, I've pretty much given up salt, as far as adding it after the food is cooked. Most Americans consume way too much of it.
