If they haven't asked for help, they won't listen to it. Usually when people start asking me for money, they get advice instead. I've seen people blow all of their paycheck between booze + cigarettes + gambling, and then bitch about it. Here's an idea, stop blowing $1k a week on...

I'm going to say I love action MMO's, and haven't really left DCUO since launch. Skill is involved, I can beat people in PVP in green gear, when they are in purple gear, if they have low skill, or aren't paying attention. The issue is, in DCUO, skill is greater than gear. So a good player can...

This looked enough like SWG that I found myself getting upset.

Not sure if anyone cares, but it's confirmed that Red Lanterns are going to be added to the game soon. Probably Blue and Purple will be next.

20 years?

KC is one of my favorite cities, and I've lived in NYC, Austin and Atlanta. I wish I lived there now, but I need to be near my business, so for now, we'll settle for weekend getaways.

I remembered a lesson from Microeconomics, about how companies with different cost structures perform (fixed vs variable). A company with high fixed costs and low variable costs makes a great margin once it gets past break even. So the kiss of death is when we run out of work. A missed day is...

Now that we are one month away from year end, and based on backlog, I can forecast the calendar year numbers. Sales will be 791k, profit will be 229k. The goal for this year was 750k in sales, so we surpassed that. Sales are up over 50% in the last two years, and it was the second best year...

OKC is fun, but it gets damn hot in the Summer. We spend a week there usually every Summer. They are fanatical about OU, so I wear my UT gear when in town. Last time I did so, some 80 year old guy threatened me with his cane.

I was not impressed with County Line both times I went. The meat was chewy like rubber, and it had so much salt in it that I had a headache afterwards both times. It's funny you should mention Elgin, someone was raving about the BBQ there last night. Also, people have been raving about a BBQ...

So, what's the best BBQ in Austin? I'm here for two more days. Don't say County Line, every time we've been there the food's been overcooked and oversalted.

I'm in Austin for the week visiting family, and we just had BBQ out of a gas station (Rudy's) that is better than most state's best BBQ.

I know, right? We finally saw the ep last night, and were cheering when it happened (after the shock wore off).

I was thinking something was missing from the list. When I lived in KC, most people I know preferred Gates over all other BBQ. What happened? I personally never went there, because they were located in the most unsafe parts of town.

The food might taste better because of the adrenaline that comes from fear of a drive-by.

I liked KC Masterpiece, not as much as Jack's Stack though. When I lived in Overland Park, my apartment was like two blocks from one. To be honest, if my business wasn't two hours away, I'd live in KC. I've run my business long distance before, and I've discovered I have to be here, or...

I know, right? Every time I eat BBQ somewhere else, I feel like Michael Douglas in that one movie where he lost his shit in the fast food restaurant and started shooting.

I'm Black and I get nervous in those areas. Arthur Bryant's used to have a different name, right? Whatever happened to KC Masterpiece?

It's amazing that unless there is a risk of getting shot ordering the BBQ, it's usually no good.

I've lived in lots of different places, and I've found that in the Midwest and the South, there is an inverse relationship between the quality of building and ambience and the quality of the food. This is true 95% of the time. I remember, when I got out of college and hired on with a company...

It's a little over two hours, and it is by far, our favorite midwest city to go to. Tulsa, St. Louis, or OKC are nowhere near as fun.

We are open most Saturdays, as long we get some advance notice. We do live two hours away, and need time to get a sitter. We were thinking about coming up this weekend, but might pass since we've got a lot of traveling to do next week for Thanksgiving.

I'm not ready to see the Guvnah just yet, it's too soon.

To be fair, a lot of the cosmic characters in Marvel are pretty cheesy. We'll see how they are accepted by your average movie goer. I'm thinking Dr. Strange will be hard to pull off also. Hopefully, these characters are accepted more than Ghost Rider was. If they are done wrong, they'll come...

Thor wasn't losing, it was a tie. And the difference is that Thor holds back, Hulk doesn't. Thor and Hulk could fight for days or weeks without a clear winner.

Right. Thor on Asgard is just another super strong guy among many. Hell, your average Asgardian is stronger than Captain America. It's only when Thor is on Midgard that you see how insanely powerful he is. I've always enjoyed Thor on Earth more than Asgard in the comics.

That's B.S.

This season is the best season ever for this show. I'm finding it hard to hate on this show, and that hasn't happened since s1.

We go there a lot, last month we were there two weekends. We usually stay at the Hilton in Overland Park and eat at the Jack Stack's there.

Ugh, I didn't realize this was so soon. I have a thing on Sunday I can't miss, it's been on the calendar for months. If anyone wants to hang out on a Saturday some time, we are good.

I missed this. We (wife and I) can make it. We travel to KC about once a month anyway. Send us the specifics, please.

We do business with a small local bank, because we are in a small country town on the outskirts of the main cities. The seller lived there. I've started moving ops to those cities, and the only thing left to move is the Secretary.

What research have you done on this industry? Because, from this post, it looks like you haven't. When I was a few months out, I'd already had 100's of hours of research in and no one could tell me it was a bad idea. I'd already made my decision.

Just saw this last night. I had low expectations on this, based on a few comments, and ended up loving it.

I'll go on record that I'm enjoying this season almost as much as s1, and the writing is infinitely better.

I jizz like that on Rock Hard Weekend.
