The Lucky Strike fiasco.

I'll say this for the public relations firm that handled the Lucky Strike pre-open: they gotta bunch of folks out there.

And maybe everybody had a good time. If I had the patience of Job I might have too. But I don't. And I wouldn't say anything except for the fact that their pre-open invitation should have said that everyone in Fort Worth looking for a free Miller-Lite was invited.

When I arrived I did a quick in-line body count, stopped at 75, and said the hell with it.

Gutter-ball. That's the way I see it.

In-N-Out Burger Report. May 15, 2011

FRISCO, TX.

This report just in from a friend of mine (a Californian, of course) who drove to the newly opened In-N-Out Burger in Frisco.

We drove to In-N-Out today but didn't eat there: the lines were STILL insanely long -- the guy at the drive-thru told me it was a 3 hour wait, and there were a good 75 people out the door in line to walk in. This was the case at BOTH locations. Insane. 

That's it folks. I guess you could say it's a Can't-Get-In-N-Out Burger right now. (Sorry couldn't help myself.)

Stay tuned!

(Thanks, Travis)

St. Thomas on Friendship

"First of all, among all worldly things there is nothing which seems worthy to be preferred to friendship. Friendship unites good men and preserves and promotes virtue.

Friendship is needed by all men in whatsoever occupations they engage. In prosperity it does not thrust itself unwanted upon us, nor does it desert us in adversity.

It is what brings with it the greatest delight, to such an extent that all that pleases is changed to weariness when friends are absent, and all difficult things are made easy and as nothing by love."

St Thomas Aquinas.
