Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

Danny Glover's finest hour in my book is Predator 2. He was all sorts of win that movie.

Speaking of Glover, I was in KC this summer at a BBQ place called Arther Bryant's and they had of pic of when Glover had visited there. Fast forward a month to a trip to Houston and this guy asked if I had eaten any Texas BBQ. I really didn't see any in my travels there. I mention my tavels elsewhere and Bryant's place in KC with Glover's pic. He immediately shows me the home screen on his phone which was a pic of him and Glover in LA at a restaurant during a random encounter.

Good thing I double checked my time sheets today, almost shorted myself an hour.

I guess getting his picture taken is not something that Glover is getting too old for.

FYI, if you do BBQ in KC, be sure to hit Joes KC (formerly Oklahoma Joes), the original one in KCK. Also, Q39 and SLAPS are solid as well. Arthur Bryants and Gates have a following since they have been around for a long time, but there are better places IMO.

My office replaced the industrial carpet with tile last week. Now I get to hear the lovely clop clop clop of people's shoes all day.

We have the spongiest carpet pad produced I think.

Coconut oil.

Or coconut rum and pineapple juice.

I'm a little bewildered by the fact that coconut oil isn't oil at room temperature.

one of the couples we became friends with in Jamaica are having their first baby in the spring.

Last time in KC we did Danny Edwards Blvd BBQ. I thought the brisket was outstanding. Your opinion?

So - good news, meniscus is (mostly) still intact since the repair last December. Bad news is significant amount of new damage from arthritis on the femur cap - this is AFTER he had smoothed some of that out while he was in there in December. Looks like a knee replacement is in my future...but hopefully not until after I retire and have the time and ability to heal & rehab properly. In the meantime...I won't be passing any drug tests for sports in the near future 'cause my knee is full of cortisone. Yowch!!!

Mylan CEO Heather Bresch is blaming pharmacy benefit managers and wholesalers for the 600+% increase in the price of the EpiPen? Americans aren't that stupid.

GTO - Please tell me this isn't one of your clients. If so, you have the toughest job in the country and I feel for you.

Haven't been there yet. Trying every BBQ place here is like trying every beer ever made.

I'm shooting for the latter.

In general, I advise never betting against the stupidity of people.

I found a vendor today that reminds me of CG's rants on a vendor. They've had issues with how to correctly fill stuff out. Now they wonder why they haven't received anything.

Good point.

I don't always sing along to the Steve Miller Band on the radio but when I do I change the lyrics to "fly like a beagle".
