This Kung Pao Chicken I'm having is hot & fresh. So good.

My roommate/lab partner had enough spring rolls for our lab class and TA, which arrived a little after 4:30 PM.

Once the Summer weather fades away, my parents like to take me and my roommates out to dinner somewhere nice in Atlanta. On Thursday nights.

Your kung pao reference: That's my dad's favorite, so Marc invited my parents down for dinner and my dad is super pumped up for some kung pao so that will be one of the several entrees we'll be having tonight.

I think the amount of rice Chinese put with the entrees is kind of crazy so we order extra kung pao sauce and extra sweet and sour sauce otherwise we'd throw away the rice and for me personally I absolutely hate throwing out any food out, so that's why we get the extra sauce.

Do you doctor up your rice with other things too? I'm hoping you tell me something I/we wouldn't think of like, "I put lots of soy sauce on it and eat it late-night, or the day after as part of lunch or something.

Eta: "on Thursday nights.

I do like to add soy sauce to mine is all. Once the food cools off it's no good.
Never eat that meal late at night. I'd rather have my cookies & milk B4 bedtime.

I love this music video forever ..... ah ha.

Dang! I never saw this video before and love it. Plus I love water skiing; particularly on one ski.

Little league coach gets new boat, skis and his sons invite me out for a day on Lake Lanier. I pretend I don't know anything about skiing and I don't like the little waves either. So I ask if I can try to ski last waiting for the lake to calm down. All the boys struggle with two skis.

I pretend to be an idiot and say I've never skied before, so I better start off with just one ski. The coach says I can, but it'd be better if I started with two. I beg him and act afraid to start with two skis.

I dive in after the ski, pretend to struggle putting it on and then when the slacks out for him to "just hit it".

I'm half in and half out of the water going at about a 60 degree angle to the boat immediate, cuttin' it up with my shoulder about a foot from the the water's surface, jumpin the wake and I can see the coach laughing because I knew I'd completely set him up.

Over the years when he tells that story to other people while he's had a few drinks in him. The height my shoulder is off the lake surface get lower and the abiltity to jump the wake gets better and better.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. Never saw the video before and it brought back good little league story. haha

Cool story, bro. I'll never forget the time I was out water skiing w/some friends & my friend driving the boat opened the throttle up to go faster which was to make me fall so they could all laugh about it. I did do that w/him making me go in a big wide circle B4 I lost my gip on the rope. I hit the water face first jerking my neck back really hard. It wasn't a very pleasant feeling at the time. I still remember it until this day.

Bro, orange chicken, Beijing beef, spring rolls, Rangoon, rice with soy sauce...I don’t know about real deal, traditional Chinese, but I sure do love me some Panda Express!!🤪
By the way, that left over white rice can be eaten the next morning for breakfast, with a little butter and sugar...

NGL, I was, and still am surprised at how much strength it takes to ski on one ski. Night and day compared to two skis, but one ski is way, way more fun.

Your story is an example of why I joined Vol nation, I was hoping for a bunch of "back in the day" stories on any topic from here. They don't even need to be about sports. It could be a cautionary tale or a big funny eff-up or just generation observations and wisdom.

Also, the longer the story, the more I and probably others would like it.
