I have no idea how I became a Tottenham fan, and I definitely didn’t have any idea about the Jewish connection until after my fandom was established, and though I condemn the actions of Israel, fuck all that hissing and anti-semitic bullshit directed at the club and at Jews. Fuck all them motherfuckers.

I am honestly not being facetious—do Jews in America feel threatened by Trump? My perception is that Trump has favored Israel and Jews in the US. I’m often wrong, so I will take no offense to you telling me how wrong I am.

Shout out to Tiny Toons.

I never knew this about Houston until Bourdain’s tribute to the city. It totally changed my perception of Houston. One of the so many reasons why I’ll miss that man.

I grew up in Daly City, CA (those who know, know) and I’ve had more lechon than any man has any right to, and I will put that pig up with the best the world has to offer. Filipinos know what’s up. Now pass the Henn and let me bum a Newport.

Salted Caramel ice cream has been around for over a decade. In SF, at least, anyway.

This is me. You can love soccer and hate this bullshit. You don’t have to defend the worst parts of a sport to prove your love for it.

Let’s be honest—this will do nothing and is just sucking on a cough drop to sooth a flu. It’s nice to think that our votes and petitions and marches matter and that we can have nice, civil conversations with our neighbors who stand on the other side of the political spectrum, but nice thoughts are all they are.

Seriously. I support the USMNT only casually (my traitor’s ass has loyalties elsewhere), but I know that the US v. Mexico rivalry is one of the fiercest and nastiest out there. None of the rivalries in the Big 3 sports touches it, nor do any college rivalries. USMNT v. El Tri has roots not just on the soccer field,…

But Iceland did beat Argentina 1-1.

Christiano is Lebron. A cocky youngin who came in with aspirations of being the GOAT, but played like a little punk early on in his career. But year after year, he demonstrated brutality of this size and speed and skill, until ultimately my hate slid into begrudging respect.

I don’t know where you live, but in some states like CA, you don’t need membership to buy alcohol at Costco.

Each regional confederation can send a certain designated number of teams. In recent decades, the US always qualified (as it should), but completely shit the bed this time around. An utter embarrassment.

You’ve lived within 100 miles of it your entire life? So, you grew up in Vacaville and moved to Sacramento, huh? Last time you were here was that big date night at the Cheesecake Factory inside of Macy’s? You’ve never been here to experience the fandom.

You should have been here when we burned it down on November 1, 2010.

Yep, their pho ga is regarded as the best in SF. They have three locations, I believe (the Richmond, TL, and South of Market).

Try Bun Bo Hue with pho noodles. Bourdain may have killed me for eating it that way, or he may have raised his eyebrows in approval. God, I’ll miss him.

Seriously, those tail lights were identical.

He is top 3 for sure, and is debatable between him or Moss for the #2 spot. That he didn’t get in on the first ballot is just laughable.

Because you can use one when you weren’t planning to, and once you reach your destination, you can forget about it.
