I can't be in a car with a bag of White Castle burgers. You pretty much buy them by the sack, not individually.
Half a dozen rotburgers, wench, and make it snappy!

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm off to see Metallic: Some Kind of Monster tonight.
Can't wait for that glorious train wreck feeling. Plus, it's fun to be the resident headshrinker the buds want to see it with. Much discussion will ensue, I'm sure.
More than that? I want THAT dude's practice. The band's coach made $40,000 a month for years. And he wasn't even trained! Please GOD, somebody throw me that kind of bone. (Only of course, if it's a gig where I can actually do good. Integrity can be a pesky impediment to non-filthy-lucre.)

The filmmakers themselves noted, though, that without him the band absolutely would have broken up. So a worthwhile investment for them, based on future earnings.

Absolutely. Help can come in many forms. It was obviously a meant-to-be kinda thing. I'm looking forward to seeing how it unfolded.
AND, praying for a similar opportunity.
As it is, I'm thinking about adding groups to my practice. Loads-o-requests for them. So. Must respond. I'm a bit worried though, because I'm big with the psycho-education. Groups mean much less interaction, I'm thinking.

All this sliding and greasing and garlicking is giving me the quease. Seriously.

The neighborhood I live in is triangulated by White Castles. There's one on the southern edge, one on the southwestern edge, and one on the north edge. I'm never more than 5 minutes away from a sack full of belly bombs.
Except I loathe them with the firey intensity of 1,000 suns.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
It sounded like the least appetizing thing possible even when sober, but he swore by it.
In Salt Lake, there was a restaurant called Bill & Nada's, which was a landmark. It was open 24 hrs, had groovy pinball machines, old 1950's jukeboxes (with the original music!), and served brains & eggs, which is exactly what it sounds like. Nada died decades ago, and Bill still lived in his house across the street from the cafe until about 2 years ago, when he passed away. He made his family and the employees promise that, when he died, they'd close, so, they did.
In an aside, I once saw Roseanne Arnold, or Barr, or whatever, in there. She was a bitch.

Do you mean a gyro?

Okay, are people purposely having Natter's gyro discussion here? It's weirding me out.

I've been fortunate. Though I rarely drink to excess, the times that I could reasonably have expected a hangover have avoided it by either falling asleep in the shower or waking up still drunk the next day.
