I saw Triple D only once in a hotel room. Was going to drive past one of the featured restaurants the next day so dropped by for lunch. Crowded, slow service and $70 for two sandwiches and three beers. Food was good, but not worth the money or trouble.

I left an accurate review on Yelp and got attaked by the Fieri brigade, so, Jill, I am not a fan either.

I wanted to hate her, but then found out her website is broken when opened up on an iDevice.

No question: Chalmun's Cantina.

Might depend on how long their "tribe" lives in close proximity to humans. My mother's cats learned different sounds for desired outcomes. E.g. going outside, food, litter box full, pick me up. These sounds were consistent across decades but I have never been able to use their "language" to translate for other cats.

My theory is that there needs to be a nascent language in use and at least two individuals who are smart enough to understand and improvise. On their own, 1,000 years does not seem enough. With continuous human contact, maybe.

Not sure where they live, but around here, $5 is an appropriate tip for a total bill of $25 to $30. About half of what it costs to go out for a date. Little good comes from advertising you are a cheapskate before the service even starts.

"The Real Story?" That is what they want you to believe.

Great analysis, Eddie!

There was a time in LA when fuel tankers were disabled and set on fire directly under overpasses. This is a good thing to track.

I say, let everyone have some fun at the beginning of the meeting.

A long time ago, I helped a Polish man travel in the US. He spoke almost no English, but knew German. Back then, I spoke some German, so I translated for him to the flight attendants. When we arrived in Chicago, I had the honor of calling his son and announcing that Papa had arrived.

I have an even harder trick. Bet someone that they cannot find anyone in the bar who has a matchstick.

Robert England lived in the same coastal vacation city I did once upon a time. The first time I saw him, was as I looked up from an ATM. He smiled. I freaked out.

Imagine having Freddie Kruger almost upon you and smiling.

Trinity's kick from the opening of Matrix is in there.
