I feel like Big T’s walk up sing has to be The Thing Song. Should consider starting off every podcast he’s in with that to let us know shit’s bout to get extra real.
First bar I ever went to. 17 years old. My older cousin knew a bouncer or bartender or something and we went on a summer afternoon when the place was empty. Felt like the coolest MFer on the face of the earth. Will always have a special place in my heart.
And I’ll add that the cynicism and lack of sympathy is derived from how angry she is that her dad died at such a young age, not the fact a friend is suffering a loss that is “less than” hers. Her life experience actually adds to the empathy she feels for people, and several friends have turned to her after losing a loved one because they know she’s been through a tough time and feel as though she can help them in their grieving.
I agree with both you and dagoofjohn. No one person’s loss is greater than any other’s and no one understands relationships who aren’t directly involved and therefor has no right or ability to judge.
I guess my point was you can’t know what it’s like to lose a parent until you do, and when that happens in your 20’s it’s hard to not be cynical and have a lot of sympathy for someone who lost a 90-yr-old grandma as opposed, to her 60 year old father. But I will end this week in the hole I dug for myself.
My wife lost her dad a while back and just laughs at people (figuratively) our age who lose a grandparent. She’s like, just wait and see how you feel when it’s your mom or dad.
Got sucked into an awesome Levon Helm documentary tonight so didn’t make it out. The wife is back out of town some next week so what say you send me a free pair of baggies, one Mizzen and Main plaid button down, a Jack Black gift set, and I hit up Treasures on Friday night for dinner, dances, etc. and submit a free product review highlighting the versatility of your outstanding collection. Feel free to include loafers, quarter zips, Yetis, and a Sendero Provisions cap and I’ll Touch Base on how great they all are for all those who enjoy Back Door Coverage.
Unrelated but I’m headed to Austin the end of the month for Dawes at Stubb’s so we can settle up over some BBQ.

What does TheChilisGuy have to say about this?

I’m RicoRumRunner and I approve this strategy.

Men’s Warehouse bought out Jos Bank a few years back, FYI.
Buy a cheap tux at Jos Bank but have it tailored somewhere else. I found one on sale for less than $200 a couple of years ago.
Can proudly say the same thing.
Deal. I don’t know if they’ll let me in wearing baggies but will report back.
Mads,

GTFO with your logic.
Although I kinda really want to do this since I’m wearing baggies and my dress shirt from work today. Business up top, cheap boners down low.
Treasures has a strict no pic policy.
Wife and boss both out of town so strip club buffet?
Bizarre-o World
So what exactly got blown towards the screen?
Beat me to it. Map nerds unite!!
Yeah, Florida is FL not FA for the record.
Day 12 = you two had a conversation about her withholding sex if you don’t get on the diet train.
