I just find that the taste of lobster is too subtle by itself. If it didn't nearly require butter to eat, then I'd be more into it. I prefer slow-braised meats that have flavor without relying on creams or fats to bring out.

Well that just means you haven't had the right lobster :/. You can get some up here....oh man, is it nice. Plus, drunk eating lobster rolls is awesome! A nice flank steak does sound good right about now though, especially with a bit of balsamic. Can you get that in Portland?

I often times feel like everyone I know is talking bad about me behind my back.

I was actually in Portland this weekend and had a WONDERFUL cut of flank at Lindhurst Market. It was served with mushroom duxelle and roasted brussel sprout shavings and it was SUBLIME.

Goddamnit, that might be enough to get me to pack. I'm just worried they're gonna ooze that West-Coast narcissistic passive-aggressiveness I've heard so much about. Not sure if I can enjoy a steak with that wafting about.

Also, if you get the chance to go to Boston before you leave, try No Name restaurant. It's seafood right on the wharf and it's damn good fresh stuff. It's simple but man it's literally right out of the ocean. That said with the snow, it probably ain't getting too much now...

 

[RestlessDreamer]

From my experiences in Portland, most people tend to be a little more "down home" than the typical West Coast attitude.

That being said, I lived the last 28 years of my life as a Jersey kid. And if someone dares to try a passive-aggressive tone with me (one of my greatest pet peeves), by the way, they're going to have a REALLY bad day.

 

[Feste]

Darnit, I can't tell if you're Jersey unless you dress like this.

But yeah, it's good to know I can enjoy the steak then. I mean, no Black people might be a little weird at this point, but I could adjust. I don't know if they could handle my attitude though hehe. Would I get my free hipster glasses?

 

[RestlessDreamer]

Haha. Sadly, I don't dress like that. I go for an open hoodie and jeans as my general look. Which, funny enough, is super common in Portland.

And I did see a number of different types of people while I was there. The area is not as gentrified as you may think at first. And yes, you get hipster glasses with your driver's license though.

 

[Feste]

Haha ok, Seattle is definitely the Boston of the West, and Portland OR is the Portland ME of the West. I am committed to that idea now. Just don't wear Ed Hardy and you'll be fine.

Ok, yeah so even more like Portland ME but I guess no snow. Is there a pet cemetery? Is everything Brick? Can I get a decent Bagel? I'm not moving to any place that I can't get a decent bagel at ><

If we're having a dick measuring contest about bad weather, than may I remind you we have giant wind funnels that will impale you with a 50ft wood pole.

I actually had one of those wind funnels go right past my house one time. It was like a EF3. I was surprised that it didn't destroy our house.
Considering how flat everything is around Abilene, we are in a very dangerous spot for a tornado.
Or if you live in Kanasas...

Yikes, if it had been an F4 or F5 you wouldn't be here.

 

[Taikugemu]

The weather here: Sun>Rain>SunRain>RainSun>Rain>Sun>Sun>Sun>(repeat).

 

[BlitzCo]

at least you don't get tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, large hail, powerful winds and killer heat every summer

 

[RestlessDreamer]

Clearly the answer is to move from Texas.

And that is an average Day in Texas. :V

I get everything except tornadoes and hail.

I forgot to ask, during your close encounter did you make sure to fulfill your duty as a true Texan and walk outside to film the tornadoe vertically on your smartphone?

 

[Taikugemu]

Texas is dumb :v

It's actually the other way around.

I know someone from Berkeley that lives near me, he moved to Texas for business opportunities

 

[Atemis]

Texas is dumb :v

"What did you say?"
@Blitz, I'm convinced that California and Texas have some sort of citizen exchange program, seems like half the people I know are from California or moved to California.

 

[BlitzCo]

Yes I did, I wore a pair of high tech cowboy boots that had 6 inch expandable spikes, I got a 1 minute video of the twister, and I nearly got hit by a flying piece of sheet metal.

I often times feel like everyone I know is talking bad about me behind my back.

I was a loner in high school, but I always hated seeing that kind of thing go on. As soon as someone left a big group at a table, all of their "friends" would immediately verbally trash them until they returned.

 

[Feste]

Actually, Austin I hear is nice. I don't think I could stand the politics there, though. Jesus, the former governor couldn't make it through the primary without making himself look like an ass. At least in NY they elected the guy who didn't like bestiality . Also, can't have sex with a girl without 3 condoms on lol. Also it's so damn hot in the summer there, I imagine.

Also I have to put this in: http://www.nymiddlefingertx.com/ God I love Lewis black XD. Here's the full segment btw: http://thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/bnqfya/back-in-black---new-york-vs--texas

However, yeah, you are better than California

I'd like to say this doesn't happen, but the truth is that it does happen to everyone, that said most people don't care once the conversation is finished, gossip is just a way for teens to keep occupied for a few minutes.
@Feste well we didn't want any of you Yanks anyway
land don't mind Perry, we let him propose one of his abortion bills every month and in return he stays out of all other politics. :V

 

[Ieono]

The older I get, the harder it is for me to give meaning to life and the world around me. It all seems so unimportant and uninteresting.
