    International Travel for n00bs

    After reading up on it a bit, I think I can just use my Galaxy S3 over there. I can buy a SIM card with like 1GB of data and minutes/texting. I'm getting conflicting information on whether I need to call Verizon first or not, but I think it should work.

    Soccer 2013-2014

    So is that good news for the team I'm now a lifelong fan of? Does Arsenal have a chant or saying? Kind of like how Bengals have "WHO DEY"?

    Why would you not beeline it for the arena from BART? The bridge from the station literally goes directly to the stadiums. You hanging out at Doug's beforehand?

    I went to a couple Reds games last summer and I was blown away at the progress made in that area. There are a TON of spots to eat and drink now. O.Co (A's and Raiders) along with Oracle (Warriors) look really similar to the KC setup. It's in the middle of an industrial wasteland with just a...

    MLB 2014 Season Thread

    I'm going to believe that when I see it. Cubs fans seem to say that to themselves every year. They already have Castro, pickup Russell from the A's, and don't they have another hot SS prospect? Why so many SS's?

    Candlestick was in a shit hole location. By far the worst neighborhood in SF. I mean, it's not much better now due to inconvenience, but at least it's in a "nice" area now.

    There haven't been many drives in this match. It doesn't look like poor individual play, just the teams can't get anything going. That and all these damn flags.

    I can't believe the two teams with the best records in baseball are in the AL West. Angels and A's just can't lose. It's obvious the A's are all in this year after the Samardzija trade. Glad he came out and shut down the Blue Jays in his first appearance on Sunday. While the Cubs are sending...

    Tyrant

    Why did they let go of the terrorist dude so easily? I mean, he still had a shitload of illegal guns right? Even with Bassam's word being taken as gospel by his brother, I feel he wouldn't have done that. Terrorist dude's uncle is fucked.

    Also, thanks for the oodles of advice everyone. I never thought to notify my bank of upcoming international travel. It would suck hard to get my funds frozen if they were suspicious of fraud!

    I have a co-worker who just returned from Paris and he said that the economy must not be doing very well because it was the nicest Parisians had ever been. I'm not going to France anyway. And I'll be in the UK, but not England. Visiting my sister in Northern Ireland, taking a weekend trip...

    The Fast Food Thread

    The fast food joints that make their own lemonade kick ass. Penn Station lemonade is awesome. In fact, just about everything about Penn Station is awesome. The sandwiches make me feel like ass but it's all worth it.

    I really liked the savage wings from Russian River. The pizzas are pretty good. Monk's Kettle is probably my favorite beer drinking spot in the city. The food is quality and it's a classy place. Very knowledgeable staff. They seriously know every beer on the menu. La Trappe also has an...

    Deschutes is very good. Pretty consistent brewery with their beers across the board. Fresh Squeezed is pretty good, but I think we have quite a few other better IPAs here in NorCal.

    Agree 100%. Using a condom and being able to finish inside is way better than jerking off after feeling pure bliss. People here say condoms suck, but I guess I'm used to them.

    Do teams stay the same going from the Premier League to the Champions League? So if Arsenal were to make it to the Champions League, it would still be the same group of guys represented as Arsenal?

    I'm taking my first international trip (I know, 28 and never left the US beyond visiting Niagara Falls) in August and I have some questions for the RR crew. What's the best way to handle currency? Unfortunately, I'll be in three different countries where each accepts different currency...

    I've been a fan of saisons for a couple years. They do seem to be more readily available than they were then. I don't consider that a bad thing. I think sour beers are starting to take off too. People are all about the in-your-face flavor profiles.

    So I'm completely oblivious to the whole system. What is the length of the season? When does it start? What is the playoff system like? Is there one? Are there divisions that cause brutal rivalries?

    I went to a relatively newish spot here called Mikkeller Bar. It's the only location besides the one in Copenhagen. Damn, their IPA is delicious. And the saison was equally good. I'm sure not many here have been to the SF location, but has anyone been to the one in Copenhagen?

    Now that some of the setup is out of the way, I'm looking forward to where this is going to go. I wonder if they'll go the Breaking Bad route of descending into madness. I wanna see Bassam fuck bitches and kill terrorists.
