I had been going to the same guy for four years. The shop opened up a location closer to his house but like 15 further away from me. I foolishly tried other places closer to home for a couple months. Needless to say I’m making the trip out to my guy again. If you have a beard you’re trying to keep clean, finding the right barber is an absolute must. Otherwise you end up with your neckline way too high, you have to shave and then you girlfriend yells at you. Or maybe that’s just me.
IMO the key to a good white chicken chili is tearing up corn tortillas and letting them dissolve when the chili simmers. The Food Network Kitchen recipe is easy, quick and tastes great.
One of the top three most disappointing meals of my life consisted of “fancy” fried chicken. I had to order the fried chicken from my local pizza place to wash the taste out of my mouth the next day. Side note: if you live in Chicago, try the fried chicken from your local pizza place.
Have you had the burger at Owen and Engine? It’s excellent. And while I have yet to try Au Cheval, a few people who I trust say it’s better than theirs. Plus, on Tuesdays, you can get the burger, a shot of bourbon and a pint for $18.
I watched Ghost Adventures for the first time in years over the weekend. It might have been my hangover. Or the fact that I got really baked to remedy said hangover. But that show still delivers.
As a fellow chunky boy who is probably on the older end of the reader base, I offer a piece of advice to younger chunky boys; get out of your own head. There are lots of women that are attracted to your body type. I spent a lot of years convinced that no conventionally attractive women would be in to me. That’s not the case. Shoot your shot.
Because when I’m really hungover, and my brain is barely working, I don’t want to put the effort into finding something to watch. Road House in on CMT? Fuckin’ a. I don’t have to move for three hours. And if doze off during a commercial? Doesn’t matter, I’ve seen this movie more than ten times. It’s really the only situation justifies watching a move on basic cable.
As far as a sandwich for a meal, I’d have to go with either a ham and cheese or turkey and cheese as the best basic sandwich. HOWEVER, if you smoke weed and don’t always have peanut butter, jelly and bread on deck, you’re fucking up. There are few finer snacks in this world that are easier to make when you’re brain is in a fog.
The cumming on a girls face situation is such a telling generational thing to me. Basically any average person from my parents generation (my parents are in their late 50’s) wouldn’t dream of doing this in the bedroom. As a younger man, thinking I was slick and using the family computer for porn, my dad found the search history and said; “If you give our computer a virus from that jizz face bullshit, you’re in deep shit”. It was like he was wierded out by SPECIFICALLY that thing. Not just that his son was jacking off in the living room when he was home alone. Porn has, for better or worse, really desensitized anyone who grew up with the internet to all kinds of fun/possibly kinky things in the bedroom. For the record, I wouldn’t ever ask to do it. But if a girl asked me to, game on.
Woodfield is still thriving. I live in the Chicago suburbs, and somehow the mall I grew up going to (Stratford Square in Bloomingdale) is still viable as well.
As a 31 year old (gross) reader of this site I totally agree. I know you bring in new, younger writers often, but I feel like it would be an opportunity for some of the sites more tenured readers favorites (Brian and Dave imo) to bang out even more hilarious and/or heartfelt content. A long time ago I submitted to McGannons mailbag that the late 20’s-early 30’s is an underserved demo in content at large. Still feels that way.
I could not agree more with your takes on this. Specifically the finale being perfect. Had that not been the case, I would possibly be open to a short run of a reboot. But it’s totally unnecessary.
If you have a cold for more than like two weeks, go to the doctor for Christ’s sake. I tried to tough out a summer cold for like three weeks and it turned out to be pneumonia. If you have health insurance, don’t play around.

I’ve lived in the Chicago suburbs my whole life and I get irrationally angry at Salt Life stickers here.

I like recklessly spending money as much as the next guy. But is Sunday Ticket really worth it if you don’t have a multiple TV setup?

You’re not good at this.
Guys bangin’ nails like he’s fuckin’ Tommy Noble.
I’m only doing this because you’re a jerk, but, you used paramount wrong.
