The Saturday Night Thread

He takes some stopping.

The only time I’ve ever seen him completely beaten was when Fury battered him into oblivion, and his corner pulled him out.

Good scrap, but hugely one-sided tonight. Parker a level above.

 

Sounds similar to my evening. I took an Uber over to Oakland and Alameda to visit a couple of brewpubs in the afternoon. I decided to take the ferry back and walk home.

I picked a Chinese takeaway up on the way and the lady who owns the place always gives me a little something extra. This time it was a bottle of Tsing Tao.

 

Is Oakland a city? I got the greyhound up from LA to SF in 2006 and we stopped off in Oakland. I don't remember much about it though, just a stop off just before getting to San Fran. I loved SF but only there a couple of says. Amoeba records was an experience, and Kings Canyon/Seqouia afterwards was a real treat. I was lucky in that two of my friends who I travelled that leg of my journey with rented a car. We then made the long drive back to LA.

 

Yes it is a city. It is on the opposite side of the Bay Bridge from San Francisco.

It's an idyllic laidback little place: With a crime rate of 65 per one thousand residents, Oakland has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 15.

 

That is scary every 15 times you go out you statistically in trouble someway
