Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Who is your cable provider, tommy?
Comcast.
Did you get a confirmation number when you paid them by phone?
Yes. They said they can't tie that # to an actual account number.
My bank has a little branch at a nearby supermarket, so I'm off....
Also, I'm leaving town right from work today. Money would be nice.
Yes. They said they can't tie that # to an actual account number.
B-what!?! What the hell is the point of that number if they can't actually use it for anything?
I like dive bars now that I'm older and married because you don't have to worry about people going there to hook up. It's mostly just about the cheap booze. And the bathrooms are always gross.
What do you consider your local, amych? If I went to bars anymore, mine would probably be Jo and Joe's or The Federal. Actually, when I do go to bars anymore that's where I go.
I had a doctor's appointment and just went home instead of back to work. I only sloped off on 45 minutes - that's okay, right?
I like neighbourhood bars if it means I don't have to drive. But I don't really have one. Now I want dive bars.
I had California rolls, spicy tuna rolls, and salmon mango rolls. They really need better mango, but I'm good and full.
So the bar on Center Street where they don't have windows, the door has an industrial lock, and they used to have strippers would be a dive bar, where as the bar section at Applebee's and Red Robin would be the pick-up joint (it's certainly fun to be sitting to the side and watch the young-and-desperates trying to attract each others' attention.)
I think ita convinced me to go get sushi. I bet they won't have Mango rolls though.
Good call. OK, then I question Sue's liking of neighborhood bars as a category, until she qualifies the type of neighborhood.
I guess my typical neighborhood bars are unpretentious, probably pretty working class bars. But not necessarily dives.
I knew you were a Gus' Pub regular!
I haven't been in eons! I loved the El Strado. Which was my neighborhod bar, and a huge dive until it burned down. (Which really, answers Jesse's question above.)
This is my local, Friar Tuck's, which falls somewhere on the midpoint between neighborhood and dive.
In yet another experiment to see whether TV viewers will pay for on-demand content, DirecTV announced Thursday that corporate siblings Fox and the FX channel will provide some of their programs via the satellite service up to two days before they actually air and a week after the actual broadcast. FX will offer The Shield, Rescue Me, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and 30 Days; Fox will offer 24 and Prison Break. DirecTV subscribers wishing to view the programs will have to pay $.99 - $2.99 to download them onto DirecTV digital recorders.
No fair.
