I think the Rock was calling people Jabronis when I last watched who are the big names these days? Might have to give it a watch and see what’s what

Id say tune into Raw before smackdown.

LOL I was prepared to fight to the death that Hulkster was the greatest “balding” hero of all time but I’ll retract my theory, and happily join Team Costanza. Larry David changed my life, and Im not even kidding.

Where can I find the best wings in Sussex, Lisbon, Menomonee Falls, or Pewaukee? I’d take Brookfield too since I’m there for daycare drop off and pick up.

I just don't know if I'm willing to drive that far out for wings unless I got some buddies to go with me. I'll try the more local places and if I'm left unsatisfied will make the trip. We have some ok places around here but nothing quite like downtown. Just did Cafe Benelux on Saturday and it was good not great. I wanted to go to Bavette or Story Hill BKC but was out voted haha.

I've loved storms for a long time. But, gotta say, it's a little different living in the country when it's pitch black and you can't see a foot outside your windows.

On the fun side my building is still almost entirely empty, none of the top floor super nice places are rented, and my landlord leaves them open for some reason. I grabbed a folding chair, walked up a few floors, and watched tonight's monsoon roll in from a sweet balcony.

Place looks north out over a cornfield. It's wonderful and I love it. The storm watching rules so hard. But this storm is a motherf*cker.

Grabbed cheeseburgers for lunch today from a great spot near my place today- they use smoked cheddar as the cheese, it is wild how much more meaty the smoked cheese makes the burgers seem.

Bogan as **** but I wear a three piece suit so everyone thinks I'm fancy.

Yeah Hoi An. http://www.tuongtailor.com

That's where I got my serious stuff done, will get some more gear when I go back in September, been a few years.

I'll also go to the market and get something done at one of the cheap places. Got a purple velvet suit made last time. Thinking canary yellow this time.

Far be it for me to question these things, but I feel like wearing an Asian-made suit to look fancy seems pretty bogan. But I'm probably leaning on some racist tropes here, or maybe just Bali-related ones haha.

My serious suit looks like a proper expensive one. The other one makes me look like The Joker. Can't imagine I'll ever go to Bali, spose you could call me an elitist bogan. **** if I want to go overseas just to hang out with other Aussie bogans. Particularly West Australians.

Due to an order mix-up at the restaurant, we got someone else's pizza delivery tonight. Our order is still coming, but we have to keep the other one since it's been delivered. Two of the pizzas are edible, but the third is half jalapeño/half pineapple. Seriously? I could see it maybe if you are supposed to eat 2 slices at once for a sweet and spicy thing, but wouldn't you just pay the $3 to get both toppings on the whole thing? Bizarre.

My ex GF and I would do half/half all the time. She loved peppers on hers, I hated it. I liked pepperoni, she didn't. It was a better value to get one large pizza split than 2 smaller.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

A friend, who lived in WA for most of their youth, told me they refer to it as "Bin tWAng, that particular tinge to an accent when you realise that you've choofed all the way to Bali and all the people hanging around you in the bar knocking back Bing Tangs are just cashed up FIFO working bogans from Rockingham."

It was 3 pizzas though and the other 2 had the same toppings on the whole pie. Just a weird order I guess.
