That Isuzu made something called the Ascender.  Obviously a GM product and looked just as pig-tastic from the rear as everything else out there. indecision

TIL, my winter tires don't leak at all, still full after sitting all summer.  They don't have TPMS, the summer wheels do and they leak slowly.  I'm being rewarded for doing something right, or punished I'm not sure which.

TIL that sometime in the last couple years, BW3 stopped being completely awful.  The wings actually had meat on them, they were still juicy and not overdone, and there was plenty of sauce.

It's pretty difficult to mess up a buffalo wing if you've got large capacity deep fryers, but BW3 manages to do it at some locations.

I saw one yesterday, I said to the guy with me "hmm, an Isuzu Ascender". And he looked at me and shook his head.

In reply to Brett_Murphy :

The sickest I've ever been was food poisoning from BW3. And I've had intestinal upheaval from bad water in Honduras. That was nothing compared to the poisoning I got from the undercooked BW3 chicken wings.

I've never enjoyed BW3, but in college my roommate went there with his Lacrosse team a lot. He always had an hour or two with the toilet the next day anytime he had it (like 3-4 times, college kids are dumb). I always thought he just had a weak gut. 

My first job out of college, my team would go there for half priced wings on Wednesdays for lunch. Turns out he wasn't lying. I went there 2 times, and twice I had the hershey squirts. No thanks, that was enough. This was all the same location, I never had issues with it the 3-4 times I went to another location.

 

I don't think I've been there since. Not a huge fan of their food anyways.

Even though IT says it's not a network issue and that there's nothing they can do, chances are....it actually is a network issue and they can indeed do something.

Pretty sure he also clobbered a guy in his bedroom one night with an Inuit soapstone carving.  He is the least detestible Liberal Quebec prime minister we have had in my life, even though he was just as corrupt as all the rest of them.

Started out as Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck here in Columbus Oh. Dropped the weck but stayed bw3 in my mind. Maybe even officially in some ways?

ps sorry for inflicting that chain on the world. I swear it was decent enough when it was local only. They had amazing sauce.

BW3... I remember 15cent wings on Tuesdays when I was at Ohio State.(mid 80's) It was a long cold walk across campus from the towers to the north campus location to buy 100 wings. They were so small I'm not sure they were off of a chicken or a pigeon  but yes, the sauces were awesome.  Basically fat cooked grease.

A kind of roll or bun. Kummelweck roll.  They did some good sandwiches when they first started out.

I always referred to Buffalo Wild Wings as B-Dubs, along with everyone I knew. Also, eaten there a few times and always enjoyed it and never got unusually sick.

Weck is the southern German word for roll.  My Wife maintains that it's a northern German thing and the proper word is semmel, but that's probably Bavarian
