Red Lobster Menu: Best Shrimp Dishes {Slashfood}

Feb 18th 2011 12:58AM Don't be such an elitist! It insults people. I live in SoCal, too, and happen to own a well known restaurant that serves gormet seafood. We often get it fresh out of the Pacific Ocean, direct from the guy who catches it, no freezing. However, I like Red Lobster and have eaten there quite a few times. It's a fun place to go and the food is perfectly good. Everyone doesn't have to have a finely developed palate. An overcooked hamburger at the campfire out camping can be delicious. Yeah, in a cook-off we'll beat Red Lobster hands down, but so what? Judging your food with the mind of a restaurant critic every time you dine is boring and painful to everyone you dine with.

Skechers Shape-ups Blamed for Hip Fractures in Lawsuit {That's Fit}

Feb 16th 2011 7:31PM Sounds to me like they have a good case, if what the lawyer said about the manufacturer not doing any testing on the shoes before selling them to the public is true. But that's up to a jury to decide. Last year, 200,000 people were killed in an earthquake in Haiti. If that earthquake would have occured in California, maybe 10 people would have died. Why? Building codes and law suits. Same with working in factories here, as apposed to China, where safety regulations are minimal. Same goes with the sale of drugs and any other products. A combination of government regulations and civil courts in this country makes us all a lot safer.

Banksy Says 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' is 100% True {Moviefone Blog}

Dec 23rd 2010 2:53PM You're waisting your time. He's a know-it-all. He's found his voice. You find these people all over the Internet now. They're not interested in expanding their minds. They're interested in expressing their contempt.

UConn Women Break Record for Most Consecutive Wins in College Basketball {Fanhouse NCAA Basketball Blog}

Dec 22nd 2010 3:42PM Actually, I'm 65 years old and have four daughters and 6 grand daughters (five grandsons) that I adore, but I'm also a long time UCLA fan and during the 60's and 70's rarely missed seeing a UCLA basketball game. If I couldn't go to Pauley Pavillion, I'd watch the replay on local television at 11PM. I've seen a lot of nonsense from people who know nothing about the great UCLA teams under John Wooden, God to most of us old UCLA fans. The NIT, for instance was no competition by the 70's when the 88 game streak occurred. UCLA won 10 NCCA championships against the best teams in the country, bar none, under Wooden. John Wooden was a gentleman who's grandson is probably right about, when he says his grandfather would have been thrilled to be at the game himself, however, I can't see him agreeing they are equal records. One is for women's basketball and the other is for men's, not a slight on women's basketball in any way. They're just two separate records. An interesting addition: UCLA's streak ended in the Huston Atrodome, when Artis Gilmore's Houston team beat them 72-69. During the game, Lew Alcindor (later, Jabbar) was poked in the eye and had to sit out much of the game. Several weeks later, Houston came to Pauley Pavillon to play a goggled Lew Alcindor's UCLA team, where UCLA beat them 102-69. Alcindor's team won the NCAA tornament that year, and he wore goggles for the remainder of his college and professional careers. UCLA opponents used every trick in the book to try to beat them, including slowing the game down by holding onto the ball. Wooden championed a shot clock in college basketball because of it, and the NCAA did finally instigate it. Wooden and UCLA basketball forever changed the sport, including the NBA which still uses some of his plays.

Frank Deford Thinks Middle School Football Trick Play Was Wrong {Fanhouse Backporch}

Nov 19th 2010 3:26PM It's a game, stupid? As in most games, anything goes as long as you play by the rules. The refs ruled it a legal play, ahead of the coach using it. Case closed! That said, the kids did an exceptional job of pulling it off. The quarterback did everything right and if anyone else on the team would have budged when the ball was hiked, it would have failed. Great lesson in life for all involved, including the defense. They've probably been slapping themselves on the forehead good naturedly, ever since, especially since they had the good luck of being awarded the win. On the other hand, the "losing" team was dejected for only a few minutes, and then went back to celebrating the success of the play. Doesn't that speak to the spirit of the nature of a game? All of the kids involved put to shame those who want to make some kind of a moral issue out of this.

Dubious Billionaire Behavior {WalletPop}

Nov 19th 2010 1:49AM Only a bunch of right wing, white neocons could spit out such vehement defenses for a string of billionaire sociopaths who feel no empathy for them and would crush their small businesses in a second if they ever became the smallest of threats. Most of these people are nothing short of greedy, self-serving monsters in disguise, destroying America and its free enterprise system in the name of Capitalism. You idiots fall for every slight of hand trick they pull on you, including the socialist/communist one that's as old as the hills, worn to a fray and has no successful examples in the world to exist as a threat, but it's still hot as a bullet in your reactionary minds. They are destroying your world, but you would vote them into office simply because they speak the words you like hearing. If they have their way, your grandchildren will work in their sweat shops and curse your memory for falling for their lies. Pitiful, and you call yourself Americans. What you are, are a bunch of self-centered morons who chase the rabbit of wealth like dogs, as if you can catch it, because they did. You call yourself Christians, with no regard for the warnings about wealth given by the God you worship and excuse yourselves because of politics. This is a list of people, that in your religion are no less than evil, but you defend them as if they were your gods. Then you wonder how people could call you hypocrites.

FanHouse Roundtable: Calvin Johnson's Controversial 'Catch' {Fanhouse NFL Blog}

Sep 14th 2010 12:44PM This is why I'd rather go fishin'! If I get the fish in the net, it's a catch. Dinner time! Don't matter if the hook comes out while I'm nettin' it. That floppin' 'round little sucker can flop all he wants. Don't need no re-plays. Ain't no "throwin' back" rules. Dinner Time!

An insider's guide to five sneaky restaurant cheats {WalletPop}

Aug 20th 2010 12:55PM I own a restaurant and if any of these things happened in my restaurant I'd personally fire whoever was responsible and have a "meeting" with the rest of my employees, who I generally love and trust, to discuss the incident involved. We treat people the way we would want to be treated ourselves. After all, we do eat in other peoples restaurants, so why the hell would we want to be doing such things as "lemoning" lettuce and picking up stuff that has dropped on the freaking floor and serving it anyway. So far as special orders are concerned, bring 'em on! The cost and affect on prompt service is miniscule (by the way, so is the cost of lettuce) and no one in my restaurant is going to give a hoot about anything except what the customer wants. Most of them don't know the cost of these things themselves, so why should they?
