Do cabs have apps? It’s at the point where it’s something I have to look in to

I remember using Taxi Magic before Uber was even a thing. Not sure if it still exists, but was pretty solid way back then.

Chicago cabs have an app and they've really been pushing it

not sure how competitive it is these days

 

[bmoneydeac]

my chicago cab ride the other day from the airport to downtown was fucking harrowing. had some serious motion sickness by the time we got there. your boy just doesn't have the chops for the city i guess.

Hey Biff. Carowinds sucks bro.

 

[wfudkn]

Can’t blame him.

Also, Xochitl chips are too thin for anything other than salsa. They always break when I used them with guacamole.

Xochitl makes a thicker chip that's much better for guac. Think they call it "the dipper"

Hey Biff. Carowinds sucks bro.

You don’t like roller coasters?

You don’t like roller coasters?

The coasters are pretty killer, but the efficiency of Disney has made me lose perspective.

 

[Biff Tannen]

I haven't spent a lot of time at Carowinds but it's not that bad. And the coasters are really good.

Bmoney, I need your help bro

How old do we think cville is?

For the longest time I just kinda assumed he was 40s Gen Xer type. But two recent posts make me think he might be more like 65-70. One was posting about a 6 AM tee time, and another one was a reference to something from early 60s tv.

Need your sleuthing

 

[Biff Tannen]

Yeah, I've never even heard of a 6 AM tee time. I know Bethpage has 6:30 AM tee times but fuck that.

And wasn't it a 6 am Monday tee time?

 

[deacdiggler]

so my 14 year old just walked in worried that one day a large subterranean earthquake will open up the mantle to an ocean and water will drop into the earth's core, somehow killing us all. (I had forwarded today's defector email to him and he got a little excited.)

Last time I used Uber (in Richmond), there was an option in there to use a taxi instead. I thought that was interesting.

 

[WRS]

I thought cville had previously said he was early to mid 50s but I could be making that up or confusing him with someone else.

You've apparently never met my father.

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

I defs had cville pegged as 55+

 

[Biff Tannen]

Like other celebrities, I do not bathe.

Grass is greener I guess. We let our Disney passes expire last year and started going to Universal and love it. We are going to get Disney passes again but more for stuff like Epcot Food and Wine.

We were at Carowinds two weeks ago for the second time in two years and enjoyed it. Gotta appreciate the difference between amusement parks and theme parks for what it is. Carowinds has great coasters and that’s what you’re there for. We also did Six Flags over Georgia and Dollywood on this trip. Six Flags was fine. Dollywood was very impressive.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Ph, I really enjoyed hanging out with you and Diggler and the Crossfit guy at Selwyn Pub.

 

[WRS]

I’m absolutely terrified of roller coasters. I know it’s super beta but it is what it is.
