Re: [Xbox] 8 Simple Ways to Improve Xbox Live

Oh you suck... I had Red Lobster last night, doesn't look like
that! LOL Nice menu too, didn't that used to be a really old-ass
Irish joint tho? I'm not totally down with addresses but it looks
familiar and close to someplace I went the last time I was there.

Bar, Irish Bar. But the corned beef sammich kicked my <yaknow>
all over the place. Granted it was 3AM and I was mostly plowed,
but still... thank God (pick a name) you crazy people don't drive
and love yer cabs! I'd have been DUI-aplenty and smelled like a
slaughterhouse when they'd have pulled me over! ROFL
