re: Lunch Thread 7/8/26: Tropical Grille is Awesome! Edition

Fiber bar in the front seat of my work truck. And a Dr. Pepper.

Went up there last December. Believe I posted on here that I was waiting in line. Interesting thing to me was that the building’s lean affects you on the stairs. I’m a fairly tall gringo, so there wasn’t much overhead clearance for me.
Probably one of the best things I experienced in Italy was at the baptistery on the Pisa site. Like every half hour or so they’d have a monk (priest?) come in and sing. Or basically just go through the scales. The acoustics in there were amazing, and the notes would reverberate around the stone walls. The sounds were incredible.

re: Will you make it to America 300?

Hope so. I guess. I’d be 102. Thinking that getting 200 and 250 in my lifetime is enough. Although I was barely 2 years old for the 200th and obviously have zero recollection.
Great grandma made it to 105+, so I guess there’s a chance. She did that with a cigar smoking habit and so many Coca Colas that their truck had her home as a stop when they were delivering to area stores.

re: Better Fireworks - L'Auberge Extravaganza or WBRZ's Fireworks on the Mississippi?

Better Fireworks - L'Auberge Extravaganza or WBRZ's Fireworks on the Mississippi?
Posted by FCP on 7/3/26 at 11:07 pm
Pulled the short straw and got nominated to take 4-5 teens to see fireworks tomorrow night. I see that there are shows at both L'Auberge and WBRZ's annual Fireworks on the Mississippi.
I'd probably prefer heading south, since it's farther from NBR. On the other hand, if the WBRZ firework show is demonstrably better, I'd just deal with the area's denizens. It has probably been 40+ years since I've attended a professional firework show, so I'll defer to the OT's collective wisdom on which is the better choice.
Oh, and for your troubles:

re: Is Zaxby's in trouble? All Oklahoma City locations abruptly closed.

re: Who else cuts grass at 4:00 am besides Pastor Spell?
Posted by FCP on 7/1/26 at 1:01 pm to LivingstonLaw
I’ve lived among meth heads for, well, all my life. Fighting a neighbor for *reasons* and cutting grass at 4AM is exactly the kind of thing I’d expect from them.
Got a 2010 and a 2020. Unfortunately, they will likely never be for sale.
Dealership offered to buy back the 2020 at full price paid after about 2 years. But, all they had to replace it cost more and was defective (turbo V6).

re: IIHS crashed a 2026 Blazer into a 1996 Blazer

quote:I once drove a 1992 Dodge 3/4 ton pickup into the side of a 1983 Chevy Caprice. Chevy driver ran a red light, and I hit him around 25MPH--maybe a little less since I was standing on the brakes. Regardless, that '83 Chevy tank survived just fine. Some dents for sure, but my poor $7K truck suffered $5K in damages.
rash a 2026 Blazer into an 86 Blazer
Of course, the Chevy driver had no insurance, and, as a poor college student, I didn't have anything but minimum liability limits. So, I got to pay out of pocket. OTOH, the Chevy driver had multiple outstanding warrants, so at least I got to watch him get hauled off in a police car.

re: Southern Baptists vote to ban churches with women pastors

quote:SBC member here, and that is where I landed on the vote. My particular issue is that I’m concerned the blanket prohibition of female pastors (which is Biblical) will be expanded to shut down other areas of female ministry.
There is a portion of that 2,000 that voted against it because they felt it was unnecessary,
To that point, there has apparently already been a female podcast host who has been disassociated from the SBC because leading a podcast was close enough to leading a church. No idea on the specific details; it was being talked about in SS yesterday.

Heard “Rich Men North of Richmond,” by Oliver Anthony at Universal Orlando.
Posted by FCP on 5/23/26 at 1:51 pm
Walking through the transportation hub at Universal Studios and heard Oliver Anthony belting out “Rich Men North of Richmond” over the station’s speakers. Weird because he always seemed like a niche act that I assumed did not have major cultural appeal—certainly not enough to be played there.
Of course, this group is probably his main audience (i.e., us poors who schlep the kiddos off to Orlando for vacation). Guess the old boy is (semi) mainstream these days.

quote:These are isolated things IMHO. We were in both London and Paris within the past 16 months. The population in London is decidedly less pale than it was a decade before when we were there, but everything seemed pretty normal otherwise. I walked around in some of the lower end neighborhoods with my kids, and it actually felt safer than New Orleans. Same thing in Paris. Definitely some migration fatigue among the locals, but the actual violence—at least compared to my hometown in SELA—seems far less prevalent.
Should I be legitimately, like head on a swivel, vigilant? Or are these just isolated things?
