and now we’re three for four! (a flashback)

so, fun fact…

…on this day, in 2002, there were no less than FOUR entries dropped. four. in a single day. two, before today, had been re-released, and two had not. of course, this was back when i wrote the page basically to amuse kramer and “ME”, and all know who has the better tits, so it was probably more for her amusement than his. moving on…

04/17/2002: “whatcha wanna nibble on? (how many of you came up with a perverted answer to THAT?)”

in my time, i’ve learned you can typically judge an eatery’s quality by the crowd, if you know what to look for. for example, you know taco cabana’s food must be FAIRLY good and somewhat authentic because a lot of hispanic people eat there AND work there. you don’t see latino (or latina) uno at taco bell for the most part because that is about as close to mexican food as it is to food. they brag in marketing spots that they’re “america’s favorite mexican-style restaurant”. that’s their claim to fame. two things you should think about before you think that’s a good thing…

but if you go into cabana, the latinos usually outnumber the whites, so you know you’re probably safe. when it comes to bar-b-que, what i’ve learned is to look for is old people. particularly old men who look like their skin has been replaced by fine corinthian leather. THESE motherfuckers know a brisket when they see it, damn it. i went to grady’s in sa, just seconds off 410 on fredricksburg road. walked in, and for every twenty-something in the place there were THREE senior citizens. so i KNEW that would be some good eating. this was also where i washed my hands after the first seven systems i pulled on monday, before refilling my 44 ounce mug and settling in on what i like to call the “count-down to nap time” platter….3 meats, 2 sides, 1 pepsi….and on a warm day, a bed better be handy. instead, i got to go to four more albertsons and pull systems. after all that, i was SO ready to get drunk; but my sinuses had other plans. if only i could have developed a damn coke habit, they would have been numbed into submission by now. but then, i probably wouldn’t be this entertaining, huh? i know i wouldn’t be this motherfucking charming…
