My favorite restaurants are the ones where I have no reluctance ordering something different off the menu. I also have restaurants where I pretty much order the same thing every time.
As a general rule, any time I see short rib, swordfish or (local caught) striped bass it's a safe bet that's what I'll order.

Bills and Jets both win out, other things happen and both make the playoffs (as per the ESPN playoff machine this is possible). Rodgers returns for a Bills/Jets playoff game - blows his Achilles again and Zach leads the Jets to victory.

Im bummed noone has mentioned Jamie Miller the drummer for Bad Religion. I met him at a show a couple years ago. He was sitting in with a band my son was a member of for a short while called Vanishing Life. We bonded over pitbulls. I volunteer for a pittie rescue and he owns one who he loves and adores. He talked about where he has to keep his dog when he goes out on tour. He tours a LOT and worldwide. Very nice guy. Im guessing he is in his 40's
Cool! If it's any consolation he's the one band member I didn't poke fun at in my Bad Religion post - he looked the part of a rocker more than the rest of the band. Regardless my silly observations the entire band rocked - had the relentless vibe of a Ramones show which is high praise from where I type.

Dont ever use the term pop on Bad Religion again.
They;ve been around since the early 80s! How have you managed to avoid them this long?
And the lead singer isnt a dentist, but he is a doctor!
"Graffin obtained his PhD in zoology at Cornell University and has lectured courses in natural sciences at both the University of California, Los Angeles and at Cornell University.
Graffin attended El Camino Real High School, then obtained both his BA Biology, BS Geology and master's in Geology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He went on to earn his PhD in Zoology from Cornell University.[5] The PhD dissertation was supervised by William B. Provine.[6] After years of being out-of-print, the title of his dissertation changed to "Evolution and Religion: Questioning the Beliefs of the World's Eminent Evolutionists".[7]
Graffin returned to UCLA where he taught natural science courses.[8] In a June 2008 interview with Bad Religion bassist Jay Bentley, he mentioned that Graffin would be teaching there from January to March 2009.[9] In April 2011, Graffin revealed that he would return to Cornell University that fall to co-teach for 14 weeks.[10]
In 2011 the new type species Qiliania graffini of an extinct bird from the lower Cretaceous was named after Graffin "for his contributions to evolutionary biology, his public out-reach through music, and his inspiration to young scientists around the world"
That's awesome, thanks for the info! Apologies for the punk/pop reference - it's one of my quirks that I only label bands as punk if they came from that late 70's Sex Pistols era. Plus I also think that bands like Bad Religion are a bit more accessible than some of the hardcore punk bands so punk/pop is not intended to be derogatory, just the opposite.
As an aside, that concert was #$%#& loud. I've had tinnitus on and off ever since. Headed to get my ears checked out next week. We always used to say "if it's too loud, you're too old" - I may have hit that stage lol.

I always thought disco was a backlash to punk
Interesting perspective. But not one that I share.

That is such a gigantic thing to look at. Reality is, in my humble opinion, The Kinks and The Who were punk rock... My Generation and this???
I couldn't even imagine how
amazing that song was when it dropped... *****in nothing like it in the history of the world.
The Kinks and The Who were bad.
I hear ya - everything has it's roots. But for me 'punk rock' was all about the disco backlash.

I'm paraphrasing, but I prefer:
Diggs: Talk to me 17
Josh: They dance, we work.

If anybody ever asks me what Billsy means, I will say Auburn at the end of the iron Bowl in 2023.
Many teams have their Billsy moments. How about the Jets yesterday? With the Fish at mid-field and 9 seconds left in the half Jets intercept leaving 2 seconds on the clock. What could go wrong? lol

There aren't 2 facemask penalties anymore. They are all 15 yards.
A good example of the NFL taking a judgement call away from the refs. DPI calls are rough when they're ticky-tacky on a downfield pass, but the last thing I want to see is making DPI a judgement call by the refs.

Just saw that he got demoted to 3rd string. For the life of me I don't understand why they stuck with him for so long and what flipped the switch - would love to know who was actually behind both decisions. My guess is it wasn't Saleh.

My wife and I rarely go out to eat, but when we do we usually go to the same restaurant. Our favorite place called The Foundry up near Killington. My go-to is the chicken marsala and a double order of the duck fat fried french fries (which are amazing).
It’s just so delicious and I know I’m going to have a good meal. Every time I try something different I’m always disappointed. I’m a creature of habit I suppose.
That's the old Grist Mil, right? Grist Mill used to be a must visit for playoff hockey and Goombay Smashes after a day of spring skiing. Haven't been there since they changed to the Foundry.
