Have you gone to Spanky's yet? I want to go, but have not had chance to yet. The pigs with wings on the outside attempt to drawn me in daily as I walk by it on my way to work.

Hmm....pork..

It's amazing that Mo looked exactly the same when he was diving for grounders as he does eating a giant hamburger in a helmet.

I have been to Spanky's twice. Great stuff. The jalapeno poppers are a nice touch. Virgil's BBQ is also very good.

I love Virgil's. Their wings are awesome and everything else is too. BBQs sucks ass. Brother Jimmy's is good if for no other reason than hot waitresses bringing me smoked meat products and beer.

But we need some banging crazy good BBQ. This stil pales in comparison to the stuff in the South. Damn hicks can cook.

P.S. There is room on the Giants bus...at least you would not have to worry about green and white bunting and watching Herm Edwards cry....

Metstradamus said...

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. Were you the $310 million winner? Darth Marc says that if you won the money, you would buy the Jets and disband them. Then I'd have to kill you.

If I did win and buy the Jets...I would be smart enough to hire you as a GM, watch you fail, laugh at your failure and then fire you....lol
