fries, potato salad, and mac salad

AND coleslaw.  You missed the third cup.

Plus they have the option to sub out American potato salad for German.

I did miss that! I forgot you have to have some form of cabbage in there, as well.

Now I want a fish fry.

That was a week ago Friday.  This past Friday I was going to get a fish fry at our local Buffalo bar.  They had the fish fry but their daily special was a Cuban sandwich.  I lurve me a good Cuban.

Ever since going to the UK I'm spoiled with fish... We have some decent options around here but it doesn't hit the same.... I've been frying my own up with a traditional British batter, getting fresh cod or haddock locally and hand cutting the potatoes and doing the double crisp method. It's officially getting into stew/soup/fish fry season

When my son was in HS (band nerd, not football team, but I went to the games), the football team got their butts handed to them every year by three strong teams in their district.  A good year was when they beat the two other teams in the district.  They never had better than a 3-7 season.

Then when my son was a junior, they got their butts handed to them by one of the strong teams, making them 1-4 on the season so far.  The next week was Homecoming against the second strong team.  In a muddy mess of a rain storm, they came out ahead, 10-6.  The following week they played the third strong team and.... beat them too.  They didn't lose for the rest of the season and won a state championship (this is Texas, mind you).

But only by being challenged did they get any better.

I lost my cool on this one or else I would have done better.  Now I kind of wish I would have let him call my wife so I could get it right the second time.  Hell, I'd offer for him to call my 1 year old while he's at it, except I don't want to give out even the slightest amount of personal information like that.

I did just send a message to the attorney general's office though.  I have the phone number and the company name, but I'm sure that's not enough.  And who knows how it works with it being out of state.

I got a very disappointing response from the NC AG office. They sent me a generic message about how to report robocalls, a very clear message that they didn’t bother to read the fairly short message I sent them.

Can someone resurrect the thread about moderators being team employees?  There was some serious potential there.
