Filming down there I met some "pineys". Folks who took deer with bow and arrow and never set foot in a supermarket but lived 30 minutes from Atlantic City

I did do Miller's Smorgasbord closeby though which is similar I think

The Italian at Jimmy Buff's was tasty as hell but a bit much for me. They made a shockingly good chili dog there though. I ate two.

Oh God, don't. Had it on my list for a while but it was beyond disgusting, and I will eat in just about any shithole if the grub is tasty. Boulevard had a pot of absolutely rancid melted cheese on the grill that haunts my nightmares. Drive up to Hiram's in Fort Lee, 1000% better

Yup. Lifelong diehard Browns fan. Lived and died with the club. After they signed the rapist QB I followed Baker to LA and have now settled in as a Tampa bay fan. It was liberating. I'll still piss on Modell's grave though

Hook's means Wisconsin

I've loved Baker Mayfield's game from day one and am so happy he found stability and coaching so he could thrive like I knew he could. Dumbass Browns fans saw him have different coaches and systems in his first four seasons and say his immaturity was the problem. They deserve the team they have

TERRIBLE running into the kicker call in Pittsburgh. Garbage. Ever Pereira called it out and he rarely does. Garbage ass Steelers getting calls (and I want the Browns to lose)

I had read that Japanese better understand English words if you speak w an accent. After several blank stares I barked "Ritzu Carlton" in a horribly racist sounding borderline Jerry Lewis cadence. Felt AWFUL as I said it. Driver smiled and dropped me at my hotel.

Yep. Also it can take quite a while to street hail a cab outside of the Tokyo core and good luck finding a cabbie who speaks any English outside of Tokyo. Even in Osaka I never found one (I recognize that I don't speak Japanese either but not the point)

These are not a factor domestically but a huge one for international travel: reliability. Bangkok or KL are lousy with cabs, tub-tuks and motorbike hails. But if you want to know what you are paying and have a better chance at getting to the right place you call a car on the Grab App

good afternoon

Yes I see that. While Queens is technically on Long Island NO ONE from Queens considers themselves a Long Islander and even though Louis Armstrong finished his life in Queens he's from damn New Orleans so fuck their criteria mang.

A Billy Joel symposium full of Long Islanders? Those are literally the worst people on earth. Lock the doors and don't let them out, ever

NFL today: Browns at Steelers followed by 49ers at Baker Mayfield's Buccaneers. If you are a lifelong Browns fan who lives in NYC and turned against your boyhood team when they screwed up Bakers development then signed a rapist QB it is a pretty good day indeed. Pretty, pretty good. #Browns #NFL

Christ what a cast. Stanley and Ollie Platt, Campbell, Freddy Molina, Lili Taylor, Tony Shalhoub, Steve Buscemi, Isabella Rossellini , Billy Connolly, Allison Janney, Richard Jenkins, Matt Malloy, Hope Davis and Woody Allen. Just a murderer's row of acting talent

Rewatching "The Impostors" for the first time in many years. Forgot that we got Woody to act in a cameo in this and *sorry* but he's actually good and funny

Remind me when Singapore spent hundreds of millions funding terrorist organizations?
