I am a Senior Integration Engineer, or at least, that is what is says in my email signature.  I enable various hospital applications communicate with one another and exchange data.  So yeah, instead of paying very close attention to how many of your medical records are exchanged, I am telling the avclub gumbo tips and…

I love Stanhope's Angry Drunk American bits.

That was ice skating for me. Just killed my ankles.

I tried snowboarding once in Lake Tahoe. I stress, once.  The first couple of trips down the mountain went fairly well. I got up some speed and I didn't bust my ass or anything. Then, like the third time down, I thought that I was sufficiently ready and tried hauling ass. It was going well, if a little too fast, and I…

Being a life long Southerner with Cajun friends and growing up an hour from Louisiana, I am a confessed gumbo snob. I hardly like any that wasn't made by my mother, grandmother (or now), my fiancee's mother. What each of them all swear by is to make a really dark roux.  Gumbo is intimidating to the point of I love to…

Aww, @Scrawler2:disqus , I feel bad now. If you vouch for them, they must be alright. Okay, okay, I'll try their booze.

Okay, I am game:

They are intentionally watering it down.

Speaking of bourbon, there is a local distillery (Corsair) that produced a bourbon called Triple Smoke that won craft liquor of the year recently. I have noticed their products since I have lived around here, but I cannot bring myself to buy it because of the label.  It looks like the assholes from Entourage made…

"It will cost, I don't know, money. We'll run it through the Beats' logarithm and figure out what you peons can afford."

Liked for JSBX, but I question that you go with Urge Overkill and not go with the combo of Sister Havana and Tequila Sundae instead.  Just my two cents there.

You have some good choices, but I'll latch onto you because you are the first to mention Dinosaur Jr.. One of my immediate thoughts was Where You Been.  When I was a teenage stoner, the start of Where You Been was the pinnacle to getting high and enjoying music while you do it.  Even better than the 2 song limit of…

Hell, you can go with latter day Built to Spill with Goin' Against Your Mind and Traces from You in Reverse. Fucking great pair of opening tracks.

Yeah, cool picture. Do you have any already?

Thanks for the advice. I saw this one: http://www.geekytattoos.com… and it looked really cool with the coloring and picture in the background, but I don't know if I want something that big.

@Dikachu:disqus , I got a VW GTI last year, and it is a great city car. Small enough for easy parking and maneuvering in traffic, but it also hauls ass which helps quite a bit.

This particular event occurred in Nashville (specifically, Inglewood by East Nashville), but I have been around both the small town and larger city versions. In the Walmart in the small (technically) city where I grew up, I could go and see everyone I ever knew there in one afternoon.  In Mobile, Al, they were…

I've seen them 3 times over the years and have never had that experience. That said, I have read if Doug Martsch is not into the show, it clearly shows.
