An aging Atomicfront desperately clings to youth culture and an aging Hutch desperately clings to the cuture of his youth.

And an aging James Ford is awakened at 6:45 am on a Saturday by an actual youth claiming it's time to get up because we're having a celebration for one of her stuffed animals.

Oh well, I'll look on the bright side. That gives me more time to do my nine mile run, drink half a Bigfoot, and listen to the new Mavericks album.

Hey, that's an album both of you can check out.
Atomicfront: It has accordian, and Melody Maker says accordian is the banjo of 2013.
Hutch: It has Latinos, and Rolling Stone once declared that J-Lo was in and Ben Affleck was out.

Counties in red are dry counties.  I am guessing in most of those counties they have a lower than average life expectancy.  Once again being a non-drinker kills.  And evidently makes you not graduate high school.

I love me some accordian.  But i thought Melod Maker went out of business years ago.

I never thought it would happen.  But I actually love going to the gym.

"Due to Morrissey's medical condition, tonight's engagement at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco will need to be rescheduled and will now take place on May 1. All tickets previously purchased for the Regency Ballroom show will be honored on the new date."

Anybody have any clue what's wrong with Morrissey?

Probably just needs a nice big juicy rare steak.

NYC soda ban

what I found interesting is that Starbucks (probably the worst offender) said they wouldn't abide by law if it were enacted.  Starbucks has to have the worst coffee in the world.  I always wondered why they were so popular and then  I realized that everyone who drinks coffee there has a drink with mostly chocalate and whip cream.  I wonder why starbucks doesn't get put in with mcdonalds and all the other junk food places to avoid. 

Starbucks doesn't sell coffee. They manufacture and sell authenticity. If you can manufacture authenticity well enough to fool people then the nominal product sold to the customer is irrelevant. Five Guys learned this lucratively well. So did Mumford and Sons.

what is five guys?

You've probably already googled the answer, but the answer is a bleeding stomach ulcer and Barrett's esophagus.

I don't think a steak is going to help those conditions.

The Five Guys Story

Five Guys has been a Washington, DC area favorite since 1986 when Jerry and Janie Murrell offered sage advice to the four young Murrell brothers: "Start a business or go to college."The business route won and the Murrell family opened a carry-out burger joint in Arlington, Virginia.

Under the guidance of Jerry and Janie, the Murrell family served only hand-formed burgers cooked to perfection on a grill along with fresh-cut fries cooked in pure peanut oil. The little burger joint quickly developed a cult-like following. Press paid attention. Customers voted the burger"#1" in the metro area.

During the 1980's and 1990's the Murrell family perfected their simple system. Five Guys was The Place to get a fresh, juicy burger with all the toppings you could stuff between fresh-baked buns. A fifth brother was born and, as their family grew, so did their business. Four more restaurants with sit-down seating were added to accommodate the growing clientele.

Early in 2003 Jerry and Janie, together with the five"guys" began offering franchise opportunities. In just under 18 months, Five Guys Enterprises sold options for over 300 units. The overwhelming success of franchising a local restaurant made national news with articles in trade publications such as Nation's Restaurant News, Restaurant Business Magazine, and the Franchise Times.

Now, over 20 years after Five Guys first opened, there are over 1,000 locations nationwide and over 1500 units in development. Five Guys continues to receive media attention and has grown a cult-like following around the world.
History

1986: The first Five Guys location opens in Arlington, VA.

1986 - 2001: Five Guys opens five locations around the DC metro-area and perfected their business of making burgers… and starts to build a cult-like following.

2002: Five Guys decides DC metro-area residents shouldn't be the only ones to experience their burgers and start to franchise in Virginia and Maryland.

2003: Five Guys sells out of franchise territory within 18 months and starts to open the rest of the country for franchise rights.

2003 - Present: Five Guys expands to over 1,000 locations in 47 states and 6 Canadian provinces.

I don't eat burgers.  Probably why I have never noticed them. 

oh please . . . "i dont eat burgers, so i dont know what the most local well known burger place is.  nope, never heard of it, never driven by one, never seen a sign for one."  hey atomicfront . . . i dont eat pussy, but i know what and where the bunny ranch is and where the hookers are at in the district.  bitch please.

I don't know what the local tanning salons are either.  Sorry I don't pay attention to things that don't interest me.  I don't eat fast food, beef, or french fries so I am not going to pay much attention to them.  I do notice Chick Fila though I have never eaten there.  I guess that is because they have one in the mall and they always come around and refill peoples sodas for them. Plus one is next to wine world.  If they opened a place next to somewhere I frequented perhaps I would notice them.

yeah . . . i dont know why i responded to your comment,  maybe just to have something to talk to you about seeing how i havent talked to you in awhile.  i still find it hard to believe that you never had heard of them.  thats like saying, "what is a dennys?"

Looking at their restaurant locator map i should have noticed them as they appear to be everywhere.  When I was in Madrid recently I stepped into a McDonalds as I had to urinate and the place was packed.  All these American tourists chowing down on their fast food crap.  I was like you travel all the way to spain and you eat at McDonalds?  WTF. 

So did anyone else see The Sessions?

Besides wanting to put a bag on Helen Hunt's head and a sock in her mouth (Boston accent is the single most unsexy thing in the world, right?). I couldn't help but think…"Where are the condoms? You're having sex with a glorified prostitute  in the late 1980's in the Bay Area and you're not using a condom?."

Other than that, my wife thought "William H. Macy is cute, even with that gooney hairstyle.", and the film was decent.

Do you make fun of Asian tourists eating at a cheap Asian restaurant in the USA?

In less than a day on Kickstarter 1.6 million have been raised towards a 2 million goal for a Veronica Mars movie.  Besides someone at Kickstarter and Amazon going Ca-Cling,  I hope Joss Weddon is paying attention. I think they could fund a whole Firefly mini-series with a campaign like that.

isnt it amazing . . . how the shittiest shit things can happen to our country, meaning plagues, depressions, economy on verges of collapses, sinkholes everywhere, and yet "the famous folk" we love to talk about just keep on keeping on.
