Me too, friend, me too

Clearly you are not of advancing years like me. When I was young, I could eat a burrito at noon and do all sorts of awake-necessary shit afterwards. Now they are the overture to unconsciousness.

Yeah, well, at least we agree about tacos. SF native here, so I'm pretty familiar with so-called Mission-style burritos, which we just call 'burritos' and the places I still go for them don't have an assembly line in the sense of having several different people preparing them, but do have steam pans full of…

I don't know what this 'assembly line' thing you're talking about is, but the rest of your commentary is adorably wrong. Burritos are for shoving down your throat with a few beers before passing out on the couch in front of Thursday Night Football and waking up at 3am with a bellyache and nightmares about laser hair…

Really, Nevada should have had 'buffet' as its food or maybe free (not really free) tableside cocktails

The "Mission-style burrito," by which I guess Albert means, "the burrito" is the only kind of burrito there is, so nobody knows what the fuck you are talking about. Unless you are distinguishing the super burrito, which, okay then

Or shave ice or saimin, but I would have gone with the plate lunch.

Hey baby, what's ursine?

Reilly, sitting down to begin his summation of Bob Burns' complaint: My son-in-law, a Whitehands elder ...

I am a journalist. There are situations where an interviewee says something, you quote them accurately, and then they later say they didn't say (or "mean") any such thing. But your question isn't about quoting, it's about "portraying" the sentiment of the person who was interviewed. That's where it seems to me that…

Reilly: My father-in-law recently attended the Monaco Grand Prix, where the Ferrari had a blowout that turned out to be nothing more than a bad fuel mix. So as Bob put it to me, 'Down on pit row, the only dead engine was a good engine.'

Phone conversation, Wednesday evening ...

Later, Burns would reveal that he was even more offended by his son-in-law's contribution to the denigration of Native American contributions to world agriculture, citing Reilly's weekly output of corny jokes and column-length turkeys designed to squash any intelligent discourse while ensuring that the bean-counters…

Ugh.

But the question here is whether CB's account is true or not. Yeah, that takes us down another track, namely the huge problem of rape victims not being believed. Still, this account jibes so closely to the kind of weird boasting amongst young men about preternatural sexual prowess which I grew up with, that I'm…

Right, but libertarians/Randians will argue some variation of, 'I didn't sign up for taxation under the Constitution' - we have seen that complaint made in this very comment thread. In a sense they're right in that Americans (or any citizens of a taxing state, which is to say all of them) don't explicitly sign a…

Man City supporters trolling Man U supporters?

The pizza analogy doesn't work, because there's an explicit agreement to share the cost of the pizza and then share the pizza itself. Taxation is an implicit agreement to pay a certain price for engaging in regulated economic activities, which goes to fund that regulatory structure (and often other socially beneficial…

Taking Offense-Defense rankings really seriously after three games=Meh. Seattle-Houston in particular is interesting - can the Hawks win and/or win convincingly on the road against a decent/good team? A question many are hoping to see answered today.
