The '42" SENJUU Gate/Valve Plumbing Water SHUTOFF Adjustable Open Close Water Valve' is delayed and now will be arriving March 6. Thank you, AWS Data Services, for your purchase from Amazon Prime.

So instead of celebrating teammates sharing a bonding experience in one of the most wholesome acts, you want to tell racist jokes. Good job cool dude.

Perhaps the most perfectly cast comedy leads of all-time. Not saying the best, just perfectly cast.

My wife was friends with all the parties involved in this case. The grocery store is about 200 yards from my in-laws house.

'How does a man wind up being convicted of committing a murder at a grocery store when no body, no weapon, and no DNA links him to the scene? That is exactly what happened to Mario Casciaro in 2013 when he was convicted of killing 17-year-old Brian Carrick, who was Casciaro's former co-worker and fellow stock boy 11 years earlier.'



I'm sure I am probably missing a more obvious one, but the Taco Bell murder in 2001 still gets talked about in south Bossier to this day.

Probably could snag direct flights from SHV to Las Vegas in October for pretty cheap using Allegiant. There's a lot to do even if you don't gamble, especially golf-wise. We got a rental car for a dirt cheap weekend rate by reserving well ahead of time. October is also when you start seeing off-season discounts for attractions and whatnot.

Meow Wolf at Grapevine Mills is fun. We had a decent time at the Netflix House at The Galleria. Texas Live! in Arlington can be fun.

I thought visiting Astoria to see the Goonies house and the Kindergarten Cop school was just going to be a fun little side quest, but I too fell in love with vibe.

It's a pretty good haul. I would stay in Bremerton Thursday night and load your car on the ferry early Friday morning. It will save you an hour and a half in traffic, and the ferry will release you just blocks from the stadium. I've been on that ferry twice, the first time you see Seattle after making a bend is breathtaking.

I sure wish I could miss deadlines and get a bonus for it. Oh yeah, that doesn't happen anywhere.

You don't think Sauron would conjure up a orc bat or something? Then we would have Middle-Earth Top Gun.
In Shreveport the downtown bar scene has collapsed, and the best watering holes are either nowhere near a hotel or they are in a casino. Good thing is rideshares are plentiful and way cheaper than most places. Downtown Hilton, Home2Suites near 70th St, Holiday Inn Express off Fern Ave, Courtyard Pines Rd are all very nice.

If you aren't against staying across the river, the East Bank District in Bossier City is becoming a fun spot to drink. There's a Residence Inn within walking distance, and a Wingate a few blocks away.

You're describing about 70% of every improv sketch ever. It's not just an SNL thing.

Funny is subjective, but I find this to be a modern classic.

There have always been many Hispanics in Bossier at the Shreveport Barksdale Bridge vicinity and going north up on Barksdale Blvd my entire life going back to the 80s.

I've been to Helen 3 times and the only time I had a lot of fun was during Oktoberfest. Because beer. It's fun to see once, get out and walk around. If you or your partner like to shop there are several local artist and apparel stores. Do not order the German Cold Cut sandwich from anywhere; $15-$20 for fancy bologna and ham.

As mentioned, Anna Ruby Falls, Tallulah Gorge, Toccoa are all worth visiting. Dahlonega is peak at Christmas time, but I like the town a lot.

If the weather is forcing you indoors, the Mall of Georgia is only an hour from Cleveland. As far as mega malls go, it's easy to park and is one of the nicer ones.
