If it gets better than Buffalo Trace and Ice cream after a nice meal I haven't found it yet.

Crazy Eights edited my " I would like to give referee Lauren Holtkamp the pipe" comment with the words Edited for Cluelessness? Lol

Sounds like my baby mama, is CrazyEights a woman? In all seriousness , if so then I'm truly sorry for my alpha male humor.

Kali is looking to join Imma and Lala in heaven. All dogs go to heaven could be applicable if lala had used dog at the end of his name.

Just to answer herm and EArl, I'll be based 4 hours away from her for 5 days and if the work demands I'll be on trip on who knows when to different parts of the country.

And there's a development, another opening in the researchinstitute opened. Positions higher and I'm very qualified. Problem is I'm giving up my sure tenure to a 2-3 year project that 'may' still renew me. That's risk.

how permanent would the traveling gig be? what does mrs. tugs do? would it be easy for you guys to relocate to where ever the 4 hour away base is?

this seems like one of those big time life crossroads decisions, how long do you have to decide?

it's a playlist that is made by myself with a roommates help. it's a compilation of 4 playlists (chill, random, ratchet and 'other' (mostly classic) hip hop) that we keep - available upon request. it got 20 followers over the past 2-3 months, but stalled recently so i'm plugging it. it's got well over 500 songs and i add a few a week on average.


Followed, I kind of needed some new hip hop for workouts. Pretty large playlist.



Yeah - like i said it's a compilation of 4 sub lists that i put together over the past year or so. i recently combined them into a master list and now use the 4 sub lists as the criteria (if it fits a list, its good for the master).

when you shuffle you'll go from 2 chainz to das FX to lupe to ye to wu to gang starr to dj mustard.

It will be frequent for sure. Relocating isn't an option right now. She's currently taking her Master's full time. And relocating means change of career for her.

Played in my first rec league game after taking five months off from basketball. To keep things short and simple, it was not bueno. The things I have to sacrifice to make gains. :sad:

Bet you'd be disappointed... I think Cali Ex-pats must build In N Out up in their mind or something.

They built one clear on the other side of town from me and one day I just had to make the drive. It was what I remembered but it wasn't nearly as good as I remembered. Kind of a let-down really.

Now I had Shake Shack in Las Vegas a couple months ago in Las Vegas and that was one big let down as far as Burgers.

InNOut definitely crushes the Shake Shack when it comes to burgers.
Milkshakes and Fries sure the Shack takes the lead in that department.


Kilroy's recent InNOut experience was watered down with all that bad Texas mojo LOL
I guarantee the InNOut on Whittier Blvd in Kilroy's Hometown kicks ass :nod:

I rarely eat red meat, but last year when i went to Arizona I stopped at my first Five Guys. I definitely think its better than In N out.

Five guys is overrated as well. If I want a burger where the patty is just a glob of ground beef molded into a gigantic patty I'll chose Fatburger all day over five guys.

Plus at Fatburger you can add an egg with chili on that joint.
With seasoned fat fries to wash it down game over.

If anything In N Out is overrated.

If you have an in N out close enough so that it can be a fast food choice every night, it's not over rated. It's probably the best choice out of the major chains...

But if you move away and can't get their very often or at all, and you all of a sudden get a chance to go, you may be disappointed is all I'm saying. It didn't live up to the hype I had given it in my memory.

Not to say it wasn't good, but just that I had to drive an hour out of my way to get it, after not having it for a couple years. I was expecting the greatest burger ever, basically. Do you guys have Jims where you are? It's a bit like Bob's Big Boy... That's my go to burger here.
