  1. Word on the street is that FR is not returning.
  2. Go to the one on Gower...
  3. In LA... 1. Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles Roscoe's large, manhole-cover style waffles never fail, and while they're substantial enough to support the chicken, they're soft enough to make eating them vastly enjoyable. Because chicken and waffles is the specialty here, there are seemingly endless combinations of how to order the dish. There's the Carole C. Special, with one chicken breast and one waffle. There's Herb's Special, which gives you two waffles and half a chicken, with your choice of cuts. Or go with Obama's favorite, the Country Boy, with three wings and a waffle. Yep, Roscoe's is president-approved (most locations have framed photographs of him from his visit to the restaurant) and even if you don't agree with him on much else, we're fairly certain you can agree on Roscoe's. 5006 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, and other locations; (323) 934-4405. Friends dragged me here a few years back. On any given day, there is a line out the door. I never understood the fascination. I'm a biscuits and gravy guy myself...
  4. Yes...
  5. Dear Lord....this has happened to me the last two times I had something shipped with FedEx. I watched as my packaged left the point of departure in the mid-west, to have it come within a hundred miles of FTL, only to receive a notice that the package had been re-routed because the package was "un-deliverable"...which is bullshit, because I'm here all the time. I then tracked it as it went clear across the country to LA and back. It was Hilarious. I've also had packages delivered to me that had my address, but I was not the recipient. I called UPS and told them that it was mis-delivered. They told me that I had to take it to a central distribution center, several miles from the house. I said that was their job. They told me they wouldn't pick it up, so I took it around the corner to a UPS store, walked in and put it on the counter and told the guy that the package had come to my address by accident and that he needed to re-ship it. He told me that he couldn't do that and that I couldn't leave the package with him, I looked at the guy and said then throw it in the trash because I'm not a shipping company... That's it...I'm finished venting.
  6. God Bless you Gman, you've always been one of the good guys on here, and a true gentleman. Sorry to here you are leaving your loved PNW, but corny as it is to say, "For every door that closes, another one opens". Stay positive, and keep looking forward. Speaking for many of us here, you can always come and bend our ear.
  7. Nooooo...He didn't call you a "dick" for no reason, he called you a "dick" after you jumped in with your pathetic response of "I have no dog in this race" when you clearly did, when you accused him of being a "troll" and accused him of pretending to be "one of the girls". Don't start shit, you won't get shit.
  8. Missing @Good Grief
  9. Thank you for posting this. Absolutely brilliant...
  10. Excellent link...
  11. If you need additional info, you should contact him directly.
  12. +1 lol...So Big Ric gets mad, and now he needs a psychological evaluation?
  13. This 3-D-printed house costs $10,000 and can be built in 24 hours One of the less obvious products being unveiled this week at SXSW is a small concrete house. On the outside, it doesn’t look like anything particularly special, although the covered patio and spacious windows are less common on tiny poured-concrete buildings. That’s because the innovation isn’t in the structure or materials — it’s in the design and building. ICON, the company that builds the 650-square-foot house, claims it costs just $10,000 to build and can be 3-D-printed by a Vulcan printer in 12 to 24 hours using the most common building material on Earth. ICON has built a model at SXSW that features a living room, bedroom, bathroom and curved porch. The company’s co-founders told The Verge that it will be using the model as an office for the immediate future to see how it performs. “We are going to install air quality monitors. How does it look and how does it smell?” founder Jason Ballard told The Verge. In the longer term, ICON has partnered with housing nonprofit New Story to take its technology to the developing world. The plan is for ICON and New Story to build a community of 100 homes in El Salvador next year using the Vulcan printer. Although 3-D printing has been used in building fabrication before, printing on-site using a universally available building material is a new step. That said, ICON’s structures still presumably rely on a goodly supply of available labor and talent and a structure won’t be taken from bare earth to habitability with no human interaction. Excavation still has to happen for concrete foundations, and the windows, roof and interior mechanicals, like electricity and plumbing, can’t be poured by a printer.
  14. A great loss for the planet...May he rest in peace.
  15. Two thumbs up...
  16. With all due respect, I won't give anymore information privately than I do publicly. I have in the past, and it turned out that someone was setting me up to say something negative that they then used against me publicly, so I only accept PM's from members that I have met personally, or trust explicitly. That said, my posted comment about RexChristian is very accurate. He's a great guy, sexy, sweet, attentive, and has a great body. It would be best that you contact him directly to see what he is into. Chemistry is everything, so you never know what he is willing to do...or not do. It's really his call. Enjoy FLL...The weather has been phenomenal.
