Miscellanea for 3/2

  1. My head feels like it’s going to pop.
  2. Exit133’s webhost has had a few problems with 20 minute to 3 hour downtimes in the last three days.  I apologize for the inconvenience.  I still believe in them… but my patience is wearing thin at times.  Although this sure does beat the days when a down server meant I had to scramble to reboot it myself. 
  3. Being home sick means I get to watch movies in between naps.  I think Soylent Green and Lost in Translation are tops on my list for the day. 
  4. I’m interested in finding a recommendation for a Tacoma shop that can stitch lettering onto the front of a sweatshirt.  Imagine letters three to four inches tall held onto the garment by visible stitching.  Kinda like what Neighborhoodies offers, but local, using a bigger font that I choose, and I’ll provide the clothes.  Quantities from ten to a couple dozen.  Send any recommendations here.
  5. Send us tips.  Send rumors.  Send rants.  Send raves.  Tell us what you want to debate. 
  6. I’m heading back to bed now.
  7. Woke up.  Relaunched a new Exit133.net.  Content still coming online.

    The city never confirmed that the recipes they received from Bimbos were the AUTHENTIC recipes. They were just a bunch of handwritten and misspelled notes. When a city employee tried to test the “recipes” the results weren’t good. Back in 2001 why didn’t the city require the owner to prepare the recipes on video so we could confirm that the recipes being sold were authentic?

    I don’t think the recipes we got were of any real value. It was sort of like a confidence swindle where you are instructed not to open the specially wrapped bundle of money until you get home.

    The only thing the city got of value was the tradename BIMBOS. That should have been sold immediately at auction to the highest bidder and the unconfirmed recipes could have been included in the sale.

    The city really botched this. They sold the item of highest value for $500 and all we have left is some worthless scribblings.

    If only I had named my daughter Bim…

    I never did get to eat at Bimbo’s, but I’d love the chance to try the famous sauces. I love the idea of seeing if they could be reproduced and bottled.

    It was a good sauce, but a little greasy…. but so are good burgers. Zarellis had a chicken sauce … that recipe is still in my mind and available to anyone wanting to open up a new bimbos.
