Are you asking this as a serious question?

Of course Duke's is the only mayo known to man!

Last time I had something other than Duke's I was a teen staying over my buddy's house. They had the nerve to have miracle whip!

That stuff was so damn sweet! It's been 20+ years since I had something other than Duke's.

Now turkey bbq is a legit damn game changer. Eat that stuff for Thanksgiving. I'll eat turkey bbq sandwiches for the rest of the week.

Turkey BBQ>Pork BBQ all day everyday.

No seriously, what the **** did I just read?

This should be a bannable offense

i dont like turkey but i do have a love/hate relationship with pork. if not done right it can be too fatty

How are we comparing barbecue sauce and curry? You can't compare those two things they're not even remotely similar lol. But mango Curry sounds pretty delicious right now.

idk lol. I haven't had much in the way of high tier bbq and Ive been going crazy about this mango curry dish recently. Probably one of the best things ive ever had at a restaurant. The flavor reminded me a lot of the bbq rub from the rib place I mentioned and it goes so amazing with the creaminess of curry. It blows my mind every time I get it. Ive heard the particular Indian restaurant is supposed to be legit, but its literally the only Indian restaurant Ive ever been to so I have no frame of reference.

we have a ton of Indian restaurants over here. They generally aren't "traditional" indian as they cut back on the heat and add more cream to please us Westerners. The extra cream really does make it amazing though.

Trump is doing a good job of making the rest of the world hate the US. Tariffs on Australian iron ore. What an absolute unprovoked kick in the guts to a country that has been a staunch ally of the USA.

Screw him and Elon. Hopefully we start to smooch up to China just to spite the prick.

There is talk that Canada could increase our electricity bill by 20%.

I should have invested in those solar panels.

Ran into this video a few days ago. I knew there was some stuff like this happening a while back In Uptown, but I had heard they were cracking down on it??? Kind of blows my mind to see this happening right in the middle of Uptown and the cops are basically helpless. I mean that's just an overwhelming amount of people and cars. lol. Any of you that live uptown see this stuff on the regular? Like how often does this happen? I mean that's gotta be pretty super annoying for people actually trying to sleep in some of those apartments and condos in that area. Or imagine you just trying to get home from the bar and you randomly turn on to one of these streets and get stuck in the middle. :lol: I'm pretty far out in the suburbs so I am way out of the loop when it comes to what's happening at 1:00 AM in uptown.

Fat how old are you?

This is car people networking. There is a big car movement on YouTube and these guys all meet up in different cities. I think Charlotte is a pretty popular meetup site.It's definitely a thing for younger people.

I mean I get that it's fun and exciting and cool and there's a ton of people that are into their cars and want to show them off and all that stuff.
And it certainly makes for some good videos. And from afar I can kind of laugh about it and Just the absurdity of completely taking over several blocks downtown
But man, if I lived in some of those adjacent condos and apartments i'd be pretty **** **** if that was happening at 1AM in the morning. I equate that to someone just basically having a random concert in the middle of the street at 1:00 AM. But I'm an old man who gets mad when somebody rides by on a loud motorcycle at 9:00 pm. haha
