And another thing, screw Tom Holland and the English. Making tea for hundreds of years but never thought to serve it sweetened and cold.

Never thought to put gravy on biscuits.

All that beef and no barbecue.

They have ZERO room to throw scones.

Have you seen the viral video of the British lads trying bbq ribs for the first time?

What do you like when you wanna snack?
Click to expand...

Usually salty stuff especially during summer nights...prefer crackers to chips though like Cheezits (reg and white cheddar) Goldfish, Swisscheese crackers (love these but dont think theyre very popular) Regular only Doritos, actual cheese and crackers (kraft deluxe singles on saltines or Club crackers) peanut butter on crackers or apple slices... couple kinds of Pringles. Also really like beef jerky but its like drinking concrete and causes plumbing issues so try not to eat it much.

Dont eat a lot of sweets, but when I do I LOVE pumpkin and banana bread (no problem eating a whole loaf myself over a couple days) icecream and milkshakes from CookOut (blueberry cheesecake or Oreo)which is really close to the house. My favorite icecream though if I had to choose just 1 is Breyers Vanilla Bean. Even better is homemade vanilla made with heavy cream and real vanilla. I like pretty much vanilla anything lol. Really like blueberry or strawberry cheesecake too. I have probably the most boring food taste on Earth. Apparently its genetic though bc my wife will eat just about anything except seafood but my kids sadly are picky like me.

Whats your favorite snacks bud? What am I missing out on?
Will try to branch out a bit.

This was great Huff lol. I feel sorry for kids raised in England on their food. Its so bad. So. Bad.

As yall said earlier. When it comes to FOOD. "our diversity really is our strength." To be able to drive 10 or 15mins in just about any town or city and have every type of fast food known to man, plus Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Hibachi and Japanese steakhouses, seafood, as well as Indian and other asian styles, German and other European foods...it really is amazing. As far as I know, theres nowhere else on Earth that has all of these kinds of foods readily available. No wonder we are getting fatter as a country...though I personally believe thats due to sweets, highly processed foods/snacks, and especially high fructose corn syrup. Corn has been hijacked to destroy Americans and anything with a gas engine due to ethanol. Its insane.

Been meaning to ask you this for a while bud.

What kind of music do you listen to? I understand you likely have broad and eclectic taste (I do) but what are some of your favorite groups? List as many as you can think of/have time to. I am sure we have overlap.
Favorite albums?
Fave songs?

Groups you like that arent super popular, or maybe the genre isnt one everyone likes? For example, I like EDM. Still listen to house, trip hop, some trance etc. Most folks here probably dont, but I do. I listen to a lot of 90s music still, some 80s and 70s, but I like some new stuff too like Cigarettes After Sex, 21 pilots, NF, and several EDM artists.

I honestly dont want to tell you first who my favorites are, because I dont want my choices to affect yours lol. I bet you like some really good music.

Oooof! I was born in 1970, so 80s and 90s music is where my heart sits. I have a fondness for British new wave and pop, so the top of my list is PSB, Depeche Mode, New Order, and Tears for Fears. I enjoy other genres for sure. Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water is a current earworm, for example.

So GA is pretty much out of RBs for the game; Trevor Etienne is out. Are we about to discover a curse similar to what happens when you a play team with a second string QB - or even worse a WR filling in at QB?

Bama fans are nothing if not delusional. Consider these articles about Bama in the CFP. Somehow apparently Bama just has a couple of unexplained losses in the record books. There's one quick passing reference to Bama losing to TN, and complete amnesia about Vanderbilt. Something like if they just keep ignoring it, the loss to Vandy never happened. Then there's this classic bit of thought:

Based on the ESPN FPI, Alabama Football has a better chance of making the Playoffs than Tennessee, even though in a head-to-head analysis, the Vols' win over the Crimson Tide would carry some weight.

On Saturday, will all Alabama football fans be Georgia fans?

I was born in 77. So we arent that far apart. My daughter and I sit for hours and listen to/watch videos on YouTube...on a weekly basis. We rock 80s stuff and DP and Tears FF both are in the rotation. Do you also like the Smiths? They are more like the Cure maybe than DM...but same Brit sound. Radiohead has a couple good songs too. The 90s is definitely my favorite decade of music though. So much good music from that decade IMO.

Do you have a vinyl (record) collection? When i was a kid we had cassettes, and then CDs dropped of course when I was a young teen...but when I was into the rave scene from like 18 to 21 or so I bought a couple dozen records. Sadly I dont have them anymore. My daughter has a cool record player though and is slowly collecting vinyl. Wish I could give her my old records. My Dad had an amazing collection of records from say 1965 or so thru 1985 (he was born in 51) but I have no idea what happened to his collection. They would be priceless these days. Even new records are expensive today like $30 and up each. EDM DeeJays dont even spin records anymore or have turntables lol...its all digital stuff with computers. If you watch them, they flip switches and stuff trying to look like they're actually doing something besides dancing...but in truth they can basically press play and roll a 2 hour set they previously recorded. Things have changed so much because of tech. Anyway, thanks for your post bud. Always looking for new music.

Oh yes. Love the Smiths. OMD and Erasure, too. I used to have a decent vinyl collection, but sadly too many moves did away with it. Still have a crapload of CDs. Man, I loved listening to the mixes back in my club days. Say what you want about gay bars, but back in the 90s they had the best music for dancing.
