Can We Just Take A Minute...

...and give our condolences to Wake Forest for having to listen to the scum bag Mississippi State crowd and their cowbells. Poor WF fans can't even watch it on TV. If I was an announcer scheduled to work the Duke's Mayo Scrimmage I'd schedule a colonoscopy or dentist appointment that day and have way more fun.

I hope they all get a bad batch of Temu cowbells coated in some weird Chinese chemical that causes neurological problems.

Not that I wish neurological problems on anyone but it probably comes with being a Mississippi State fan and ringing those cowbells in the first place.

But, yes, WF has my condolences.

Doesn't have to be permanent, but at least a year or two. Enough that they stop doing it.

There's a really good Mexican joint in my town that I love, but I pretty much stopped going because they have about 4 different soccer matches on the TVs at any given time, which is cool. It's their thing and I respect it as a sports fan.

But...they have the volume up on the TVs and half the time you listen to that ridiculous sound the whole time which I can't stomach.

I have general dining rule that TVs should only be visible from the bar. I can eat and watch tv like a slob at home and pay a lot less to do so.

Depends on the place I guess for me.

I don't tend to patronize fancy or semi-fancy-ish spots. My general dining rule is if I walk in and the worst dressed customer is in a Patagonia quarter zip, it ain't my thing. I'm more of a dive joint type of guy and if there's a TV with a game on it or something I'm good with it. I like less-than-casual ambience, but vuvuzelas are a bridge too far for me.

But that's just me. I love to cook and I'm good at it, so if there's an expensive dish like a steak dinner, fish, something fancy I want, I generally do it myself for 1/8th of the cost. The places I like to frequent generally either have very few or no English speakers (some really good African eateries in Sioux Falls/Omaha/Minneapolis, it's not just Mexican food), or look like the kind of establishments where you should probably know someone there before you walk in. Usually the best food anyway, and adds a little flair to your life.

I guess I'll qualify my above statement a little though...I'm a huge sushi fan. Not chain sushi, either. I like high-end stuff and that's the one thing I pay way too much for. Rolls are for children, people need to experience good sashimi and alternate kinds of sushi. If I go on vacation that's my requirement is I research local places and make a little tour out of it. Omaha and Minneapolis have some truly amazing sushi restaurants, Sioux City and Sioux Falls also have some very passable sushi places as well.
