  1. Sells insurance - which explains why he feels the need to talk all the time.
  2. Remember the "stage" was a 5' sheet of plywood! Tiniest "stripper" stage ever - just basically a place for a girl to stand while she took her clothes off:-) I do have a vintage "CLUB 81" Ashtray for sale if anyone is interested.
  3. Jake picked up the slack later - almost too much. There's room in a hockey broadcast where the announcers don't have to be CONSTANTLY chattering. Yeah I'm looking at you Starman! It's the fill in guys first night - give him a break!
  4. They should have "released" that !@#!$! out into a field...in the middle of the night...in a blizzard with whatever he was wearing at the time....with a direction that "BAIL will MAKE you FREE!" Good Luck! This guy should and hopefully will fry...eventually. Hey - most of us who've lived here know ND winters. Can you imagine the TERROR of a man with a family from India who paid a LOT of money to come to the US being shoved out of a van in the middle of nowhere and be told to "walk SOUTH" through totally black farm fields filled with snow. I can't imagine the horror and pain this FAMILY felt trying to get into the US and they died for it. It's sick and very sad. He was a teacher and the family had skills to provide. A sad loss all around. As much as "FOXNEWS" wants to paint illegal immigrants "as ants scurrying out across the border" This family was not that - they were seeking the American dream and they died for it. Hopefully they can rest in peace. It's a sad story all around
  5. so if a FEMALE reporter gets "too old" does that mean she isn't as "HOT" as you wished she was to be asking questions of the athletes you're asking questions of? Like a lot of female news anchors who get "too old" like Robin Huebner? Lift your knuckles off the ground GFH - blow on them - maybe they'll heal. (Probably not) What century are you living in dude? Katie had job and family considerations and the Covid thing made it so complicated on the UND end it just made sense NOT to have a rinkside reporter the last couple years. Midco still has covid restrictions limiting their rinkside camera operations - never mind a rinkside reporter. I thought you were the ALL KNOWING ALL SEEING genius of SS - guess NOT!
  6. I'd just like to say on the behalf of Packer fans who thought the unvaxxed homeless person they THOUGHT was their savior but couldn't do sh*t in the "FROZEN TUNDRA" - I can only summon my inner Nelson Muntz.... HAAAA HHHAAAAAA! Nice job cheeseheads! YOU BLEW IT! Thanks for representing the NFC North - NEXT!
  7. My money is on the guy from Kansas - knowing the audience
  8. Got into La Cantina in the old El Roco on Gateway and South Wash and it was fantastic! Nice conversion to a bar/restaurant and the food is very good. Wife and I had a couple mex entrees - portions were huge and we had more than enough for lunch the next day. Salsa is fresh and good - a little heat but not enough to scare off the scandanavians. Chunky but good with the fresh chips. They were busy but service is quick. A great new place to patronize on the Northend! Miss the Old Roc but they're evolving with the times. Kudos for that!
  9. Hi - thanks for the input. Just for the sake of the King's English for idioms in the internet age it's a "tough row to hoe" - not "road". No one "hoes a road". A literal tough row to hoe might be one that is long or that involves hoeing dirt with lots of rocks or roots - the figurative version was what you were shooting at. Not being a jerk or anal-retentive grammar nazi - just trying to help you be a better writer. It's still important in this world. You know UND sports - proper writing is your best way to convey it. Just trying to help.
  10. very cool - I wondered what Mr Fingers-Hooked-In-My Jeans was contributing then he came in and blew me away with his Neil Young Harmonica Skills. Voted for the Bloodwashed B'boys! Congrats!
  11. Anyone gone to LaCantina in the old El Roco complex? They've been busy - going to try tomorrow if we can get in.
  12. I hear that's always BBBAAADDDDDDDDD! (sfx: Lamb Noise) Thanks I'll be here all week!
  13. WOOF WOOF! My idol is Bob BARKer...
  14. I will tell you I'm a "local guide" of a certain level for Google and I would have flamed them publicly but I really respect Hal G and all he's done for GF so I have avoided posting my experience publicly on a restaurant review venue. 90% of my online reviews are positive and I don't post negative reviews lightly. When I go negative they turn out to be my most "popular" reviews just fyi. Again - we REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to love this place for every reason but both my wife and I felt like we were punched in the gut with our first experience. It was such a sour experience from start to finish we both felt sick the next day which is sad. We will give them another try down the road but not for awhile. For other GF food experiences I recommend Charras and Tequila for authentic Mexican and HOUSE OF PUNJAB for amazing Indian Food. BOTH great additions to the GF Restaurant scene without the need to charge for every single dish on your plate. La Cantina on the Northend (former El Roco bar location) also has some promise. Famous Daves is coming! Casa Mexico on the Eastside has stepped up their game by buying a new sign you can actually read. Things are really looking up!
  15. That's exactly what I'm saying...if you're going to charge me $40 for a piece of meat make it AMAZING so I don't give a !@#$ about what you're charging me for everything else. FIRST AND FOREMOST make a mouth watering, tender, delicious, perfectly cooked steak and I will follow you to the end of the earth. This was a seared on both sides then served RAW piece of garbage - PERIOD! I didn't even want to take it home and try to rescue it with my freaking AIRFRYER for crying out loud. It was disgusting in texture - tough even in the meaty part and had no taste. Totally right decision to just throw it in the garbage. That's not what a "true steak house" ever was or should be. As I've said - they have the look down but NOT the food. HUGE MISTAKE for a restaurant. PS - as I mentioned in a previous post the Bronze Boot literally had its' roof FALLING IN and still managed to serve a GREAT Perfectly Cooked Steak with a potato and veggie of the day - not to mention a side salad and bread. THAT'S A TRUE Old School STEAK HOUSE Grand Forks Style. I miss them.
  16. Interesting their Google reviews seem to be "CURATED" by someone - to be all positive. I guess you can buy anything on Google, including their objectivity. Just like the Harry's Website reviews - all positive - go figure.
  17. They to bring the wednesday night fried chicken special back - that was the BOMB!
  18. Our waiter was actually an assistant manager - he was very attentive and nice. Was apologetic when we expressed our problems with the food - I sliced my steak and showed him the bleed and he did take the steak off our bill and gave us a complimentary dessert to go but the bottom line was we still paid $86 for a couple mocktails - a whole leaf romaine salad and soup, a mac and cheese side and a bad walleye entree. We still left the $100 because it wasn't the waiters fault. The whole a la carte concept is really my problem. I'll pay $50 for a great steak but c'mon - throw in some hash browns and a veggie and I'm happy. I don't want to pay another $10 for the hash browns! Dave Norman KILLED Whiteys with this !@#!$ "pay by the dish" concept. Not his fault but Hal should know better. The Bronze Boot was the LAST great GF Steakhouse and you didn't have to pay for every single thing on the plate. You just had to watch out for !@#$ falling from the ceiling LOL
  19. That's the least of your problems at Harry's - after waiting for half an hour after our "reservation" - we were seated and then waited an hour and 10 minutes for a "medium" steak that was blood red raw rare and my wife had a $28 dollar "walleye entree" that was one THIN walleye fillet burned and dry on the edges. We wanted SO MUCH to love this place and it's a beautiful renovation of the building - the only thing they forgot is the quality of the food. I'm happy to pay for "EXPERIENCE" but this isn't it ...yet! Ambience decent but the food is a train wreck! Matt the manager came out to hob-knob with Gino Gasparini's table and Marilyn was also there that night. He looked around but never bothered to stop at any of the "common peoples" tables. Thank's Matt. Nice to know you care about all your customers.
  20. HoE puts the UMMM in Ambiance - don't ask for the special. It's almost always Lutefisk
  21. Dale Lennon and I thank you for that
  22. the women are men too? I guess that explains El Chapo. Thanks for helping!
  23. oh BURN! Top programs at ndsu are counting pills and counting on your relatives not to explain what ANIMAL HUSBANDRY actually means when they talk about you and your degree! the ag college - where men are men and sheep are AFRAID!
  24. Forgive the witness your honor you should make some accomodation for where he was apparently educated. I submit the following evidence... https://www.minneapolisfed.org/article/1994/frozen-french-fries-fuel-red-river-valley-economy No further questions your honor! PS - There's a reason UND has the law school:-)
  25. Hit up Jersey Mikes for a great sub! Best since Quizno's took a dump locally anyway. Go for the Rosemary Parmesan bread with the #7 - turkey and provolone - my wife's favorite. I prefer hot subs so I usually go with the Cheesesteak or a mild variant. Great rewards club and double points days aplenty. They also support great causes like foodshelf programs across the US. Great easy app ordering and walk in pickup service. It's our go-to locally. Tried the "new" Subway and it just sucks. Firehouse is good too. Wish we would have gotten a PepperJax but the ship sailed years ago when Hornbachers stood their ground and appealed their building permit saying "NO WAY WILL WE ALLOW A BUSINESS TO BLOCK OUR VISUAL ACCESS" - then bailed out of GF. Still bitter about those a-holes! GO ALDI!
