When we could travel abroad, I would always try to have one meal at a US fast food joint in another country, just to see how local culture influences our standard menu. I still have vivid memories of a “Rendang” style burger at Burger King in Singapore, that has the greatest spicy onion sauce I’ve ever tasted.

Though…

I’m a United frequent flyer. I live the Stroopwafel life. 

Amazing, though honestly, I’d rather fly to Lisbon. (Cause you get Pastel de Nata, and Lisbon is awesome.)

I was in Germany over Christmas and ended up watching the Saints-Titans game from the 22nd in my hotel room. One channel over there carries the big Sunday games, and the playoffs. The coverage was hilarious. They simulcasted the games and had in-studio people in Germany do the play-by-play. The commercial breaks were…

Pan out shot as a naked Jim Nantz intones “Manning is out with a calf.”

I read “Keep on Long Snappin’” in the same voice as Rick Steves’ ending each episode of “Rick Steves’ Europe” with “Keep on Travelin’”

Candleshoe or GTFO.

Aren’t all deaths untimely? It seems like they would be to the person dying. 

Harlan is a real pro. Get’s the sponsorship plug in the play-by-play seemlessly!

“I’ve decided to move to Orlando to be closer to Disney World.”

This reminds me of an old .wav file I had from the AOL days of George H.W. Bush saying “It’s no exaggeration to say that the undecideds could go one way or another.” 

I say good. Manfred needs to go. 

Honestly, I while I think the “dourness” of Belichick is part of his personality, the majority we see as fans is also part strategic theater. His job is to get men to play a game where mental discipline and teamwork are fundamental elements to success. Playing into the “dourness” makes motivating a team easier.…

Kid is a common Boston expression. “What up kid? You fawkin see Tahmmy and the Pats?”
