My buddy and I had a similar experience at a sports bar outside of Chicago about 20 years ago.
I had it happen at a bar in Southie Boston. It was a Thursday night and the Red Sox were on. But of course Thursday nights were also the start of college football for the weekend and I think IIRC a big Big East matchup was on.

They had TV's every three feet apart above the bar, all showing the Sox game. I asked the bartender to change one to CFB and he obliged. Every other TV was still showing the Sox. 

Quite literally about 20 minutes later I hear a guy walk up to the bartender and ask "What the f*** is this? The Sox are playing!"

White Castle is the worst chain that I have had.

I am open to the idea that Krystal might be even worse than White Castle, since it is a southern White Castle knock off.

But their movie was pretty funny.


I love white castle.  So glad the opened a place in the Phoenix area

Taco Mac sounds like a tex-mex casserole dish with taco ingredients and macaroni. 
Actually it sounds like a South Dakota casserole dish that is supposed to be based on Tex-Mex and macaroni.

My wife idolizes Ina Garten. But we both rolled our eyes HARD when we saw her tex mex episode. It was like she'd never heard of tex mex until recently. I guess it's not big in the Hamptons...

Ha!  I'd assume not.

I haven't seen the episode, but in general I really like her stuff.  It seems like she probably does best when she stays in her lane with the northeastern clam-bake and chowder type stuff, but I'd probably at least give a look at what she does with other regions.  Her taste is usually on point even if her methods might not be. :)

I haven't gone to it.  
A - it's out of the way
B - when a fast-food place has more than 2 cars in the drive-thru line, count me out


When it opened, it was a whole big thing.  They ran out of food.  
And I'm supposed to respect the masses.  Waiting in line for probably 45 minutes for sliders you could make better at home.

One thing I enjoy seeing is something done well, and if you watch the drive through at a Chick-Fil-A, you see it done well, somehow, dual lines, and moving the cars through quickly.  They get packed around here for lunch in the drive through, the lines are often 6-7 cars long and two deep.  They are a money making machine.

The wife likes CFA and I'm OK with it.  We have one in walking distance that has a small park outside.  Might try it today for lunch.

Weather here supposed to be perfect.

I got the bill for my surgery (I imagine anaesthesia will be separate).

The top line is $35,806.  The "adjusted" prices is $5,714.  My cost is $0.

I don't like this "system", aside from not paying for anything (which is nice, but the system is very obscure).

They also included a bunch of verbiage about how I can pay over time or get other support etc.  $0.

got to watch anesthesia cause sometimes they slip in a doctor who is out of network and the Ins Co wont cover it fully

this seems unfair to me 

who thinks ahead of time to make sure the anesthetist is in network

Anesthesia? I'm surprised. You seem like the kinda fella that would want to be alert, so that you can watch what they are doing, and how they are doing it.

I heckle my wife about this.   It is exceptionally rare for a patient to request or know who the anesthesiologist is going to be leading up to the date of surgery. 

Its quite strange to me given the critical role in the case.   She will usually get a request from a former patient or maybe a nurse or surgeon she works with.   I never considered the out of network possibility for the anes.

Not me, not me at all.

I did ask what he was using, "Propofol" he said.  I was out before they gave me the nerve block fortunately.  The had a small ultrasound gizmo I guess to find my nerve ganglia.  I was looking at it and asked if it was an ultrasound and that's the last think I remember.  I have had general twice in my life now.  It's pretty neat, it seems you pass out and  then wake up very quickly.  I had a sore throat from the intubation of course.

If you ever watch this surgery on YouTube, you'll see it's pretty aggressive.  They use this rotary cutter to remove damages tendon pieces, of which there was a lot.

The way the treat a labrum tear now is to detach the bicep and reattach it to bone (humerous).  Ha ha.  Then you don't aggravate the labrum all the time.  It's called a SLAP tear.
