OT: Depends Who You Ask Apocalypse - Off Topic Thread of Summer

The White Castle in Vegas at Casino Royale sells beer, for a wholesome, balanced meal!! I go there every year during our annual guys trip.

A White Castle that serves beer?

The word "pilgrimage" comes to mind....

For anyone interested, Treadstone premieres tonight on USA at 10pm. The girl in my avatar, Han Hyo Joo, is one of the stars. I am a fan of the Jason Bourne saga so excited for this.

Im ready for the Scottsdale White Castle opening this week. Anybody else in AZ?

Also happy Yankees elimination day to all.

If you have some time to spare (and better yet, a lot of cash in the mattress), this is kind of fun to check out:

149 Lots | U.S. Marshals *Live | Online Webcast* Auction 10/26/2019

I want lot #218. A massive fully-restored, squared-off 2-door with a Hemi and a cue ball shifter coming up out of the floor. Pretty much perfect, unless you plan on going around corners....

Ironically, these are seized assets from people who started a "green" solar power company (that was apparently a ponzi scheme) and they obviously had a weakness for muscle cars, etc.. They were probably planning to convert them to run on solar batteries....

A "green" company a scam you say? Whoa there, fella.

Back to the pizza topic

Sallie’s Apizza of New Haven is opening another location in the new South Norwalk Nordstrom/Bloomingdales mall.

A new mall in the year 2019. What could go wrong¿

 

[Merrrlin]

Anyone been to Gingerbites? I am starving and might try this place for lunch. Coworker recommended it but he's into crazy stuff.

Update now entering 3rd day and you still can’t get near the White Castle in Scottsdale. Lines yesterday where still 4+ hours and they have decided to close at 1am for the foreseeable future even though the location is 24 hours.

They had to implement a 60 slider limit per order because morons were attempting to order 100’s at a time. Further complicating issues is this is the only location that does NOT use frozen patties and serves an original 1921 fresh beef slider. I’m guessing it has more to do with supply chain then them wanting to not utilize frozen beef.

I saw a story about that. What's the explanation for the fanatical popularity? Displaced northerners revisiting an old addiction? I mean, I haven't had a White Castle burger in easily 20 years and would love to have one, but if a WC opened near me I wouldn't go there every day and order 100 of them....

For some reason, I've been watching a lot of TV. I guess it's part of my life-long project of becoming a human slug.

The Boys - Awesome. Best show I've seen in a long while. Nuanced and full of interesting contradictions. Also, wickedly funny.
Another Life - Ok. Uses too many tropes as its foundation. Some bad acting. The last couple of episodes set up something that could be interesting, though.
After Life - Ok. A little schmaltzy and everything wrapped up too neatly, but Gervais makes it worth watching.

I'm on episode 6 of The Boys, it gets a strong 7/10 from me. There are points where it's pretty bad and cheesy, and others where it gets interesting (and funny). I do get a Watchmen vibe from it, just with added layers.

I don't, but was assured this would be great. It's not great, but good, so someone who looked super hero stuff will probably love it.

I usually eat pretty healthy, but if I still lived near a WC, I might be in trouble. Something about the grease soaked mini bun and the diced onions is totally addictive.

I know it's early, but we might just have our motto for the playoffs this year:

“What did the f***ing deer do to you?” the boy demanded.

Hilarious. This is journalism, I suppose. "A cold-hearted bowhunter shrugged off a sobbing boy" Oh f*** off.

The hunter is right.. the boy and especially his idiot father, for allowing that to escalate, shouldn't be so naïve.

 

[seafoam]

I use to eat the White Castle burgers that come from the store.

I know. Not sure why they decided to take the angle of making the hunter Scrooge and the kid Tiny Tim.

Everything is filtered through an oppression/victim lens these days. It's what people are taught in college now. If a kid is crying, he's a victim (despite being a vulgar mouthed, entitled little snot) and the other dude is an oppressor (despite just going about his business in a calm, normal manner).

On the pizza topic... this is easily one of the most overlooked places in all five boroughs.

https://www.lazzaraspizza.com/ It's not your conventional round pie. It's baked in a try, the crust is perfect and the ingredients are always fresh and delicious.

I think it blows away Totino's , which gets a lot of hype but I found to be a bit too doughy and overall underwhelming.

That looks rad. I may give that a shot next time I head up to the city. Going to Brooklyn is a pain.

There's a pizza place near me here in the Philly burbs that serves a pie that looks exactly like this one (from the site linked above), square thin crust and all:

They call it "Trenton Style". We had trouble finding a pizza place we liked, but not anymore.
