GYERO ARCHIVE

[Mossip]

pickle ball is fun as hell and it keeps you moving.

Similarly, racquetball is tough. When I was between jobs a few years ago, I met a partner of the largest local firm at a bar meeting. He invited me to play. Whatever, the dude's almost 80; I'll take it easy on him. I knew the rules and played a little at the Johnson Center back in the day. It'll be fine.

We played doubles with myself and two of his peers (old guys). I got absolutely destroyed. One of the most embarrassing moments of my modest athletic career. I don't work at that firm, btw.

Zach Johnson next Ryder cup captain for USA. I’d say with Phil’s latest issues, that prob bumps Tiger up to be captain in 2025 at Bethpage.

Skirt or Flank are nearly fool proof.

GYERO thoughts on the flat iron? Some people swear they're the new best bang for your buck. I could go either way. For me, there is an element of the texture not matching the appearance, if that makes sense.

 

[Mossip]

All those cuts are foolproof (as said), and I love fajitas, but they just bore me to death. This is a cool flat iron recipe:

I don't know what it is about that dude. He seems like a complete prick, but I really like his show.

SAM THE COOKING GUY
NOT ANOTHER COOKING SHOW
Ethan Chlebowski

Those are the best cooking channels, imo. All around. I have some grilling guys I watch too, but those dudes are practicable and succinct. Available ingredients and easy to perform. Good stuff.

i don’t see any violent cuts though....

No violent cuts — no care

Sam’s knife skills are hilariously bad. Dude is gonna lose a finger soon.

Thanks, dude. I'll quit the lurker spam. Carry on.

Paddle tennis, aka Platform tennis, played inside cage, heavy ball and racket, can play off wall, similar to racket ball.

Any recs for hotels in the French Quarter?

The Ritz-Carlton on Canal and Dauphine might have the most comfortable bed ever. Then again, I went to bed pretty hammered.

Any recs for hotels in the French Quarter?

With a big group of guys for a bachelor party we stayed at the Sheraton which has balconies over Bourbon St. That was pretty awesome.

However, if you are like Hank and Pretzel and don't want to stay up past 9, I wouldn't recommend as it's pretty loud until late at night.

Booking flights/hotels is a pretty simple adult skillset I just don’t have. Booking flights just annoys me and the reviews and **** on hotels leave me feeling befuddled and inadequate.

Like one dude says it’s the best place he ever stayed then the next one claims cockroaches, bloody sheets and Stu F’ing Jamison is working the front desk.

Meanwhile, my wife won’t buy a toothbrush without reading all the reviews.

 

[Wynn Duffy 69]

I think I need to quit reading the reviews. Maybe even shopping online. Could I just walk into a store, find something that looks good, and purchase it? Who knows.

My family and I stayed at a Sheraton in downtown Charleston, WV this summer that had blood stains on the curtains and some dude with giant *** mean Dobermans in the lobby. They gave me a "suite" and my daughter slept on the couch in the other room. I didn't want to touch that couch without a hazmat suit and felt we had a non-zero chance of being murdered in our sleep. But the next day my daughter said "it was her favorite hotel ever". My point is reviews are worthless.

 

[cricket3]

The nicest hotels you could stay in are going to still have bad reviews because people just like to *****.

I tend to look at Trip Advisor’s guest photos to get an idea of what it’s really like.

 

[Hank Camacho_rivals115797]

My wife and I decide on travel dates and a budget. After that, she handles the rest. She also used to professionally set up travel for doctors going on continuing medical education boondoggles, so she knows what she's doing.

If I had to handle travel accommodations, I wouldn't go anywhere I couldn't drive and would stay in campgrounds.

Prior to her, I once took a Chinese bus from Lexington to NYC for $100. The bus left at midnight from the boot store on New Circle Road. There were old Chinese ladies feeding babies while smoking and all manner of chicanery. My buddy and I polished off a fifth of Beam or something and zoned out. Couch surfed for a week and caught the bus back to Lexington.

Good times. I wonder if that bus still exists.

We typically go 3.5 star and up on Hotwire and it's extremely rare to have a disappointing experience.

The worst Hotel I stayed at was in Havana, Cuba:

Hotel Triton Neptuno

Havana, Cuba

My Canadian travel agency went out of business while I was in Cuba in 2001 and they failed to confirm our return flight Sonee were given a taxi and hotel voucher.

It was bad to begin with and while we were eating breakfast the next morning, we got a hot tip on a flight back to North America. We rushed upstairs to find our floor (and some of our stuff) had flooded from bad Cuban plumbing just before we had to rush to the airport.

Go with newest.

Cot damn I hate Duke for a myriad of reasons but one of the biggest is they got the rights to our pantone blue.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

I’m going to remember this first half when UVA slips into an at large. 25 points- 18 of them coming from one guy hitting threes. So the rest of the team/rest of the floor accounts for 7 points in 20 minutes of basketball. The ACC is awful.

 

[UKwizard]

Hotel Triton Neptuno has nothing on the UK dorm situation 25 years ago.

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

Book delta

Delta is probably the best airline, but United and American are doing everything they can to copy them. And Southwest generally is the most flexible. The budget airlines are terrifying from a service / having issues perspective. But if I can fly on Spring Break down to Ft Myers for $150 direct I'm doing it (and I am).

 

[MrKentucky]

I’ll second the Sheraton @wcc31. Yeah, it’s gonna run you more $$, but it’s worth every penny to have somewhere clean on Bourbon go take a piss when you need to, and to have an easily accessible beer stash in the room.

Who needs a beer stash when you can go to Razoo and grab 3 beers for $3.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

The pandemic was really something else from a flight standpoint. I flew a lot, and most of what I booked on Frontier/Spirit was in the neighborhood of $60 round trip. I'll take every gamble I can get at that price point. And for the record, most of those flights were empty. Like, each person had their own row and the one in front/behind them. I miss the days of government shutdowns and massive death, to be honest.

 

[80 Proof]

A buddy and I stayed at this place back in the day on a budget NYC trip. It was pretty bad.

This is not talked about nearly enough. Infuriates me letting Nike dictate our shade of blue.

Top of the key front row with Will. Drag’em! Sorry UKO, we are about to run the train on UNC and everybody else the next few years!

Making moves you hack.

Too bad they didn’t play Michigan this year.
