DEEZ NUTS

well , i hope that those who think that howard will be back before
the all-star break are playing in my leagues .

@chata: Depends on Howard’s return date.

how do you see wigginton’s time being used , including # of AB’s ??

re : gentle satan show :
the chef made a reference to the kid being a crackhead .
exploring that angle would have made a better show , though , perhaps ,
not for an audience of culinary devotees .

@Awesomus Maximus: Great call on Grady Sizemore, definitely a Gentle Satan. Just when the glossary couldn’t get more obscure, I think we’ve found a way. BTW, the Amazon reviews of the book are terrible. Could it be a Yelp/Amazon conspiracy?

So yeah, not only did he have Alan committed more than once, but it would seem he did it when Alan was old enough to have children of his own. I was trying to think of a player who represents Gentle Satan… someone who keeps lulling you back into trusting him only to beat you with horrible stats. The best I came up with was Grady Sizemore (fits the bill, and has the G.S. initials already).

@Awesomus Maximus: Was it several times? Hehe… Oh, Gentle Satan, you’re the gift that keeps on giving. I feel like Gentle Satan should have a place in the Razzball glossary. A player that you draft high that is supposed to turn things around, but never does? Or maybe just Milton Bradley…

Missed the bit about Gentle Satan having his son committed (several times, apparently), but can’t say I’m surprised. Also, I don’t think Daniel is wrapped to tightly… just appears that way by comparison on the show.

Finally, yeah, umm… reality shows are as scripted as dramas, either by design or via editing. And their subjects often use the show to gain notoriety or leverage. It’s been this way for decades. Is that blogger also ready to blow the lid off The Blair Witch Project?

with that stache , maybe you could hang out at home depot and pick up
a landscaping job during the day .

when i packed grapefruit for blue banner gold , near riverside , everyone
would gather at the food truck and get burritos at 8 o’clock in the morning .
that is until i got fired for being the only english-speaking laborer on the
crew , after about 10 days .
that was back in ’75 , but , man , those grapefruit were good .

just trying to get a better picture of your southern california life-style .

interesting take about the episode and family drama: http://themillieblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/06/burger-kitchen-on-kitchen-nightmares-exposed/

@chata: Not sure, why?

how many times , in a month , do you go out for dinner ?

@chata: sounds good

@Jeff from Tallahassee: I think he’s definitively capable of putting up a better average but I wouldn’t count on that.

@TheNewGuy: I’d take him for $14.

yee – haw !!

hope you can offer a live chat room .

advice ==> don’t accept any collect phone calls .

yeah , they’re quick to criticize the gentle satan , but he must have
been doing something right … especially if we judge success in
monetary terms .
my guess is that he knew his kid was some sort of delusional screw-up
and just paid him to get the hell off the island , and out of the way .

Dooooooode… that Kitchen Nightmares was the most frustrating 90 minutes of television I’ve ever watched. The dad looked like a friggin’ weeble wobble, complete with vacant stare. If I was the son, I would have punched him every time I saw his dumb ass come tottering into the kitchen. “Some people have called me a meat sculptor.” You can’t write gold like that!

Did you know the grandfather was an Australian mob boss? The father got half a mil and the son got a mil from the inheritance they mentioned. “Gentle Satan” may have to be my team name next season… or perhaps “Meat Sculptor.”
