Make a list of 10 of anything and people will naturally point out what you left out. Discussing what was left out is half the fun of the list.
Consensus is that Major League was far under ranked, Slapshot should have been included and that Moneyball should have received stronger consideration than it did.
I'm sure there are others i missed.
Saw Project X this weekend. Very funny, lots of gratuitous nudity, party music and uncomfortable moments. Didn't quite live up to the hype, but didn't disappoint either. It is only an hour and a half, so it really moved along quickly. Think it is more a movie to see with the guys than one to see with a wife/girlfriend. I cringed at the thought that my children will watch this film one day (sign of a good movie?)
Previews for The Dark Night Rises and for Sascha Baron Cohen's new movie didn't hurt the experience at all.
Went to Yamaguchi for some sushi afterwards. Yamaguchi is located on Main St in Port Washington. Yamaguchi has the best fish around IMO. They don't offer any funky rolls, don't react to any trends, nor do they worry about competition (3 sushi bars within 150 yds). It is EXACTLY the same as it was 20 years ago, including the waitstaff, sushi chefs and decor. If you are a 'roll' person, this place is not for you. However, if you like great sushi/sashimi and aren't looking to 'dine' or for 'scene', you cannot do better. They are always stocked with many different grades of tuna, only charge $4.50 a piece for fatty tuna ($8 per piece typically in NYC), and the sushi rice is a cut above. If you've never been, I highly recommend trying it. (It is an awful lot like Tomoe Sushi in Manhattan)
Had the pleasure of eating at Peter Lugers in Little Neck last night. (ducking from the insults being thrown at me for not going to Brooklyn)
They are really really good at what they do. No simpler way to put it.
They make a mean Manhattan (with Wild Turkey 101) their wine list is very good and the mark ups are very reasonable.
Tomato and Onion Appetizer (chopped), Strip of Thick Cut Bacon per person, 3 giant cocktail shrimps and a killer bread basket, all doused in their signature sauce is the best way i can think of to start a meal.
Follow that with a beefy, sliced up, delicious Porterhouse (order it rare, it'll keep cooking on the plate), burnt german style potatoes and hands down the best creamed spinach you can find anywhere.
Finish with pecan pie (or cheese cake or strudel or key lime pie) accompanied by the SCHLAG, which is basically the best whipped cream you'll get anywhere and you're in business. An Irish Coffee never hurts , and is another great way to use your leftover schlag.
Lugers is consistently voted the best steakhouse in NY, and i sincerely agree. I don't understand the critcisms it receives and implore any detractors to give it another shot. They serve a hamburger only at lunch time that i consider to be the best i have ever had that is worth a trip on it's own.
Filled out a knee jerk bracket when they announced selections.
Final Four - Kentucky, Syracuse, Missouri and UNC
Kentucky over Syracuse in the final.
Deep runs by FSU, Wichita St, West Virginia
Hope Michigan can win a game or two to cap a great season.
Go Blue!
