Geddy's book was a good read. You can't help but like the guy.

His parents were Holocaust survivors and their story was fascinating.

Incubus, Sugar Ray, 311 at the Centroplex December 1997. Good times…


They played the Varsity in 1998 with System of a Down opening. That was a cool show. It wasn't even a sellout.
This is the kind of immigration you want.

It looks like they would draw a Koe Wetzel type of crowd.

I would check out the Kerney Family Trilogy starting with Hard Country by Michael McGarrity.

He also has numerous standalone books that take place in modern day.

Maybe not great, but a hell of a good time.

3/4 teaspoon garlic
3 tablespoons chicken bouillon
1 quart water
2 pounds crawfish tails
1/2 cup shopped green onion tops
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Combine 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup flour in a small saucepan. Stir while cooking for 3 minutes over medium-high heat; keep warm. In a 4-quart saucepan, add 1/2 cup butter, onion, bell pepper, celery, and green onion bottoms; cook over medium heat while stirring for 8 minutes. Add paprika, peppers, garlic, and chicken bouillon.

For Vietnam War, I enjoyed The Cat from Hue

My kids would probably be asking how to tell me it's time to put the dog down.

I can't imagine when that day comes. My buddy is always by my side. :wah:
I'd sop it up with a biscuit.

I guess they would have to know what the difference is between a man and a woman. That doctor speaks like the concept is arbitrary.
Anthony's for the Muffuletta because you can also pick up an Italian Lover.

If it’s trucks, they are recaps. Every tire but the front wheels. That’s why truckers should have a stick with a steel wrap to “knock” the tires to verify ever tire is inflated…..every time they stop for a break.


Not everyone uses recaps.With the flood of cheap, Asian tires entering the US, recaps aren't as desirable as they used to be.

At one time I would have thought these were just the fringes, but my wife's family is from Wisconsin and Minnesota.


They need to move down to an urban city in the South. That will give them the proper perspective.

His father used to be the director of football operations or something at Oklahoma State. Probably why he got the special treatment. Judge was an alum.


His father was director of football operations for a couple of years at LSU when Les Miles first came here.
