Flav. Because he says he has a hard time remembering "regular" names.

It's actually "Nibblz," I think. And Beatuful. I don't know if he just can't spell for shit or if it's a deliberate affectation.

Last season there was a girl named "Oyster." He is nothing if not subtle.

Wrong Cosby kid. I was thinking of Raven-Symone.

I've never seen the show but I did watch a few clips from that link Thurgreed posted earlier. What's the deal with Flav's Viking helmet? I recently encountered a mentally ill guy wearing one of those with an American flag stuck in it. Maybe he was just a fan of the show?

I don't consider her a real Cosby kid. She's on the same level as Vance and Coy Duke.

As I was coming back from lunch the C_O*, a person I work with regularly, got on the elevator. I smiled and said "Hi. How are you today?" "Shitty." During the remainder of the brief elevator ride we chatted about who may need to be killed.

Lunch, btw fringey, was a fish taco from Berryhill. On Mondays and Fridays they're $1.99 each. I can't remember if your seafood prohibition is everything but fish, or only fish, but if you're at all a fish eater, I highly recommend a fish taco for lunch.

Potential downside: There is evidence on my shirt of how I enjoyed my lunchtime in the form of a couple of spatters of salsa.

in general, luncheon suggestions for Ms. benefits should be posted by 2EST. that will give her time to consider her choices, and begin to obsess over the winner.

Finally, other than shrimp Ms. benefits no likee the seafood.

I love fish tacos and if anyone knows of a decent place to get one in NYC, I would be in your debt if you'd post it.

Flav. Except for Buckwild who had a name belt with "Buckwild" on it, so he let her keep it.

You're right. As a bonus, you reminded me of Cousin Larry:

My ex-husband used to tell me I looked like Cousin Oliver when I wore my glasses. Ah, young love.

Refreshing answer to common question
 

I don't care for fish tacos.* It's not that I hate them. I just don't see what they're all about. The fish is too mild to stand up to the spice of a taco, and too tender to work with the crunch. Do I need a better fish taco?

How many fish tacos does it take to screw in a . . . ah, forget it. It's just not fun any more.

I had a beautiful and I mean lovely beautiful from Italy Italian boss. and man Dolce and Gabanna just such a handsome and well dressed guy athletic, tall, nice guy. groomed perfecto man. well cut suits, etc. we played same game. never figured it out. so wonderful person.

Here's the story
 

Did he ask you to call him "Uncle Mike"? Or "Aunt Carol"?

Some go for the "Alice is home alone when Sam makes his delivery, iykwimaityd" scenario, whereas I've always prefered the "Marcia catches Peter in the shower, iykwimaityd" scenario. But toe-may-toe/toe-mah-toe.

Here's the story
 

Catches Peter? Heh heh, heh heh, heh.

They don't call him Shitna for nothing.
 

Crunch? A crunchy fish taco? Blasphemy. Maybe that's your problem. You've never really had a proper fish taco.
The ones at the La Salsa by my house are not bad. They use wahoo with a spicy rub. Grill the fish, add cabbage and a spicy chipotle sauce. All good. On a soft shell.

And how is fish any more or less mild than chicken in a taco?

Two corn tortillas filled with grilled Wahoo and crisp cabbage. Topped with our Baja sauce, avocado and Jack and Cheddar cheeses.

etchange mahi to Wahoo, whatever that is.

Refreshing answer to common question
 

It's my understanding that they come in soft corn or soft flour tortillas. They always sound good to me because of the cabbage slaw stuff, but I don't like the seafood that is not shrimp. I believe La Salsa (which may not exist where you are) offers other types of tacos (e.g. chicken, shrimp?) with that condiment in lieu of the normal lettuce etc. The shrimp is fried, I think.

Baja Fresh and La Salsa have made me into a big soft corn tortilla fan. LOVE them. For lunch yesterday, I had refried black beans with jalepeno and some cheese, heated up on soft corn tortillas, then salsa dumped over the top. I had to eat it with a fork, but that was OK with me. It was quite good.

Berryhill has shrimp tacos that are remarkably similar to the fish tacos, with one major difference. I don't think they're $1.99 on Monday's and Fridays, though. You'll have to spring for the extra buck.

At Berryhill you can get the fish (or shrimp) either tempura battered and fried or grilled.

ETA to clarify that all tortillas are soft, so the only crunch would be from the tempura batter. I do not see that as a bad thing.

Deion Branch. Moving west. Could I be any happier?

It is my experience that things like this never work out as well as one expects them to.

On the other hand, the Birds won and the 'Boys lost, so who am I to complain. Suck it, TO.

where the heck do you keep that saved, or do you search and cut and paste each time? you are too funny.

I was seated in a sports bar yesterday next to a table full of obnoxious Cowboys fans (is there any other kind?). I thought I would get a bit of a break from that, having moved across the country to get out of Cowboys territory, but I guess the America's Team thing stuck. Anywho, you should have heard the yelling and taunting going on at that table during the first quarter of the game. TO is the greatest/Cowboys are going to kill everyone they play, etc. I was semi-watching the game on their tv because ours was set to the Packer game (sorry, Mr. Man) and I had Fred Taylor active yesterday. I cannot tell you how happy I was to see Jacksonville shut them the hell up. It was a wonderful three quarters of listening to the assholes say pretty much nothing.


ETA: How about a poll - Most obnoxious pro football fans? I have a split vote between Cowboys fans (when they are winning) and Vikings fans. I have no idea why Vikings fans are so annoying, but I have seen them in action on enough occasions, that I don't just chalk it up to a fluke in the Vegas sportsbook.

Thanks Patriots
 

Here's hoping he hasn't learned the system in time for the Week 3 game...

Thanks Patriots
 

What's to learn? Catch the fucking ball. Don't drop the fucking ball.
Do not watch tapes of the men who came before you.

Thanks Patriots
 

Without question. Raiders Fans. Or Raidahs as they're called here. Loud, drunk, and loud.

Thanks Patriots
 

That's only a starting point that describes probably half of NFL fans. The Raiders are in there, but so are Jets, Patriots, and Eagles fans.

Thanks Patriots
 

I'm sure that there must be some system to learn and that he won't be able to learn it all before September 24. I don't mind if he has it down sometime around September 25 though.

Holmgren is pretty bad on the road, eh? I wonder why that is. A Packer fan reminded me of this yesterday before you guys almost lost to the Lions.

Thanks Patriots
 

I liked the Raiders fans that were here two years ago. Of course, we won the game, so the experience may have been different.

I wasn't much a fan of the cheeseheads, when they were here. The Vikings fans weren't all that much fun either, but that was a damned good football game.

ETA: The Texans fan who sits behind me one row and four seats to my right is also obnoxious, but in a sort of endearing way. He likes to get disgusted with other Texans fans for their lack of enthusiasm.

Thanks Patriots
 

I agree. You will never see more zubaz, camo or Carrhart than when you are at an NFL game.

Thanks Patriots
 

1) Zubaz. As bad as it was to wear this 15 years ago, it's even more inexcusable now. Is it still made? How do those zubaz pants survive for 15 years? Jeez, move on.

2) Camo. Untrue. Go to any SEC game and you will see more camo, at least in bad weather. It looks like everyone is headed out for a duck or deer hunt, except they're singing rocky top, instead of playing a duck call. Vols fans have it good, because the orange blaze hats match the unis almost.

Thanks Patriots
 

Even the commentators reminded me that we were 9-21 on opening day and like 0% opening day on the road. I don't think Holmgren likes the Central or Eastern time zone. It fucks with this head. And yet, I'm sure that part of him thought - ah yes, Jon Kitna. I remember that train wreck. All I have to do is score a couple of field goals and I'm in.

Thanks Patriots
 

I remember you saying that the GB fans were bad news at the time. Which is funny because I went to a game at Lambeau and they were all very nice to me even though I was wearing Giants parapernalia. On the way into the stadium, someone yelled at me "Hey, Giants fan!" and I had one of those should-I-turn-around moments. When I did turn around, he yelled "Is Shockey playing today?" Then in the stands, the people behind us were asking for advice as to which Giants player to take in a bet amongst them as to who will score the most points in the game. I told the woman behind me to take Tiki and she actually high-fived me everytime he scored (which was a lot).

Also I am partial to one cheesehead in particular, but I don't think I would let my high opinion of him sway me if the rest of them were all asses. I have a low tolerance for sports assholes.

Thanks Patriots
 

But seriously, these people start tailgating for breakfast on Thursday. And by Friday, you can't even light a match anywhere near the parking lot. By Sunday, a lot of these people have puked 3 times, slept in their Silver and Black, put on their makeup and spikes, roll a couple for the end zone, slam a few shots and then get ready for pre-game. It's the only stadium I've been in where the only concessions are hot dogs, nachos and tequila.

Thanks Patriots
 

The theme of my sister's 30th birthday party is "Let's Get Physical" and guests are highly encouraged to wear 80s workout gear. I am hoping to see some people attired in zubaz, so I'm sort of selfishly glad they still make it.

Party is in October if anyone is interested in wrangling an invite...

Thanks Patriots
 

a la Olivia Newton John and a terry sweatband? How awesome!

Thanks Patriots
 

I am debating on whether or not to make the trip up to Dallas to watch the only game I really care about this season. I fear for my physical health, though.
