and he's a fucking nut
I went to this gorgeous little south american restaurant, really tiny, basically just one bar row and you had to squeeze past people eating there. They cooked right in front of you. Great wine, food was AAA+, need to find out what its name was...

Thanks for the recommendations, friends.
Sounds like we have a solid plan for the next two days.
Touristy stuff today, museums tomorrow.

It's a great signing.
Then he catches 10 TDs in his first season and everyone buys his jersey.
Yeah that's not why I'd lose my mind. I mean none of this sounds good:
Guy doesn't seem mature enough to get his life together, let alone be an NFL player.
So they cut him. Who gives a shit? Or he does get his shit together and he plays football until he can't play football anymore and they cut him. Who fucking cares?
Rand al'Thor is bitch made by the way. I can't believe you read all of these books, and I can't believe that I have read three of them. Fuck this shit.
Dave and Buster's in Times Square. Absolutely mandatory if you want the true New York experience.
I dunno, He's what, 20 something years old, a bit of a nut case, pretty sure a lot of the young ones in the league are immature at that stage. He's got his chance now, if he fucks it up, who cares?
Also, let's not forget, we've got a league of rapists, dog killers, murderers, sort of murderers, verhicular manslaughterers (is that even a word? ha) and wife beaters, let's really talk about maturity.
You should have planned shit before you got there.
Good luck with BOM but it is supposed to be amazing so go if you can. A few blocks is a nice halal cart. Get food from there and send is pics to piss off KAS.
Otherwise are you by yourself? I would just walk around and plan my trip around museums, shopping and eating if you can't see BOM. If you are with someone else do the same.

Are we forgetting a drug-addled sex addict with a starfucking wife was the most beloved player in Packers history before Erron?
Hey, man. He's just looking to wear some comfortable jeans and send dick picks to random women.

Johnny Jolly was great for us when he came back. Also, Brent was a raging drug addict for several years and we seemed fine with that as well.
Colt is apparently a ridiculous physical specimen with lots of upside for little risk. I don't get the backlash.... Would the fans prefer we picked up another injury prone DT or OL?
Edit: Bucket reading my mind

Legislating morality is a fools errand, Gata.
Much like dumb kids fucking and the Pats recording other team's practices, it's just going to happen.

I mean sure, from the Packers perspective that's pretty easy. But most fans really don't think logically.
If you didn't love the end of the 2nd book, in terms of how fucking cool a concept it is then I don't see why you continue. The fourth book is really good actually.
Hey, man. Your genderless dystopia is fucking with my waffles.
Check out Central Park for awhile since you are going with your gf.
Make sure to being a camera and ask people to take your picture. You will get some great excuses.

If he wants to get laid, he should go to the top of the Met, grab some afternoon drinks, eat along some cafes on the UES and then go back to the hotel in a rickshaw that he paid 500 bucks for because she sprained her ankle walking and be a hero.
We need more players hating cancer patients.

But what about the children, Bucket?! What about the kiiiiiiddsssssss!
Who will they look up to for role models and heroes?
What do you mean, cool of a concept?
I'm actually enjoying them just fine. Nice light fare and the voice actors who read the book are fucking fantastic.
I'm basically reading them just to get through it because for some reason I'm fascinated by the whole "different guy finished this long ass series" angle and I really like the new Sanderson series.
It's nice to not have to read through Tubby McFatasses perverted food lusts and torture porn to get some sword and magic reading, that's for sure.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
I'm talking about the fight between Rand and Ba'alzamon at the end of the 2nd book in the sky over Toman Head.
From then on the magic system actually gets really well established which is awesome, because some of the overly descriptive parts can be a real drag.
That movie is fucking great. And Scarlet is fucking hot even when you don't see her.
Oh yeah, that was cool. I'm annoyed right now because the writing is kind of...sloppy. But I like the characters and even the evil ones are conveyed well without having the gratuitous sadistic charicature veneer that Martin needs to rely on. I love that Jordan basically skipped the disgusting torture porn that Martin would've spent 6 books on (the Domani stuff) by just conveniently moving the story forward 4 months.
The best part about listening to them is that the voice work is so good even the monotonous rehashing of stuff we already know is enjoyable.
I'd probably hate it if I were reading it.
Exactly my thought as well

Whoa didn't know Ryan Clark was with Washington.
Yeah I've listened to parts of the first book through audible but something is lost for me, mostly because I've read it a bunch of times and hearing people's names pronounced aloud for the first time is weird. But I did enjoy what I heard.
You'll come to find that almost all of the evil characters are so incredibly incompetent that you'll start to hate them, at least I did. Jordan definitely doesn't do enough with those characters. But the magic fights are awesome, and he does a great job of world building. He just gets way too caught up his own ass in the middle part of the series.
Eznark just avoid books 7-10 and save yourself a bunch of wasted time. Stop at 6 and pick up when Sanderson took over.
And yes, I am a Sanderson fanboy because Stormlight Archive is awesome. Warbreaker is great too and his YA stuff is good entertainment if you can stomach YA. Pre-Warbreaker Sanderson I just think he is decent, you can definitely see him getting better and better as an author and for me Warbreaker is when he becomes a great author.
Edit. Funny you should mention GRRM fetishes coming out in his writing. I haven't read all of GRRM because he sucks, but Jordan definitely has a harem fetish and it comes out a bunch in his later books. It gets to be gag worthy the amount of wish fullfillment he puts in his writing about Rand.
