Any good poker in Shreveport? May do an overnight this week for other reasons.

I'm retarded: going to Disney in 2 weeks.
This is a great point. Marvel at how good they are at taking money from you. It’s truly an art.

I'm retarded: going to Disney in 2 weeks.
Disney is made for planners. We had great success getting up early, being in the park and seeing what was important early (rides/characters/whatever) before the crowds of mongoloids on scooters (and it’s depressing how many people need them to get around). It’s easier to enjoy the little things amongst the crowds of mouth breathers once your itinerary is done. But in all honesty, your family will have a great time if you have a great time. Have a good attitude and set the stage for a good time. Planning makes it less of a beating since you’ll know what to expect. I’d recommend touringplans.com. I found the itinerary planning and expected wait times very useful.

Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
Lardo was my favorite there. We tried a few of the sandwiches because we went back 2 times over 4 days and enjoyed pretty much all of them.

I went a few weeks ago and had a similar experience. It was kind of heartbreaking.

Just got back from Isla Mujeres
27 days for us. Bringing some friends and all their kids. Any tips for dining with large groups? 6 adults, 7 kids.

The New Car Fanatic Thread
Thanks. I ended up with the G70...hopefully I don’t regret it. I wasn’t expecting to end there, but really enjoy driving it. Genesis has some dealership quirks to work out still, but I could see it becoming a pretty competitive luxury brand if they do. The dealership experience absolutely has to be fixed for them to be viable...I could see the Hyundai experience not working for most of the market.

Texas BBQ
Yeah, but it’s a “bacon rib”. Believe it’s just bone in pork belly. Also on the top right because I saw the 1/4 lb I got on the 2 meat plate and decided to get more. I thought the beef cheek was like a decadent version of beef rib.

Texas BBQ
Based on the crowd, I’d assume so.

Texas BBQ
In Austin for the weekend visiting some friends so we decided to pack up the kids and check out LeRoy and Lewis this morning. I ended up ordering some of everything for my family of 5 - sausage, pulled pork, beef cheek, barbacoa with a side of bacon rib and another 1/2 lb of beef cheek. Sides of beans, curry rice, other rice (can’t remember), kimchi, and barbacoa taco. The stars were the beef cheek, bacon rib and barbacoa (just their beef cheek pulled + something with a bit heat). The sides were really good as well. The only thing we didn’t thoroughly enjoy was the pulled pork. It was good...just not great. We ended up sharing some of the beef cheek and rib with our friends and the kids helped us polish off everything else. I’m not sure how much longer they’ll fly under the radar, but hopefully I’ll be able to hit up on a brisket day before they get busy.

The New Car Fanatic Thread
My Infiniti has had annoying recurring issues, so I’m trying something else. I drove a GS350 and IS350 before heading to the genesis dealership. The dealership sucked (was a Hyundai dealership that sold genesis), but damn that car was a lot of fun. I’m seriously considering getting the 3.3T version.

The New Car Fanatic Thread
Not sure if this is the right place, but I’m not a car guy and looking for opinions. I’m thinking about replacing my g37 with a Lexus CPO IS or GS, but my car fanatic coworkers said I really should test drive a Genesis G70 first. I’m going for long term reliability as a daily driver. I don’t drive fast or aggressively, but appreciate being able to move around slow drivers in the g37. Thoughts on IS, GS or G70?

Dallas | Burgers
I’ve mentioned it in another thread, but Sky Rocket Burger in far north Dallas has an absolutely outstanding burger. It’s a hole in the wall off Frankford and coit (Richardson/Plano effectively). It’s been open about a year and run by a couple that seems to work 6 days a week. 2x2 with bacon and grilled onions from yesterday. Awesome

The way too early 2019 LSU at Texas game discussion
Completion % and team rushing...different games, different stats. Sam put up those stats with Georgia scheming to stop him. Burrow got stats (50% completion rate) with a running game that was dominant the entire game.

My daughter doesn’t like cheese unless it’s a component of something and melted like pizza, enchiladas, soup, etc. Never cold.

Game of Thrones Season 8 (Bookfags unite)
I think there was some mention of the Night King being able to tell where he was due to Bran bearing his mark. So by warging, he drew him away from the dragon fight and into the weirwood
