Affliction Shirts Banned at The Ranch
What happens when a bar that's known for its "Affliction" crowd suddenly bans graphic tees? Awesomeness.
The Ranch, a bar along West 6th (where I also met Luke and Owen Wilson) has informally been known as an "Affliction Bar" - a place where 50 year old men trying to recapture their youth and 20 somethings trying to act tough paraded their flaming skulls, playing cards, swords and gothic lettering in front of the local ladies.
That changed sometime recently and I want to say congratulations to Ranch because they finally get it. Affliction shirts aren't cool, they've never been cool and will never be cool. MMA fighters don't wear them because they want to look tough because they don't need to ... their job in life is beating people. They just get paid $$$ for the sponsorship.
The past few UFC fights, I've seen some people turned away because of their tees. While most of them went quietly, a few predictably played the "tough guy" card or "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" card in a desperate attempt to gain entry. Thankfully Ranch ain't havin' none of it so cheers to 'em!
I'm so happy with the decision that I will honestly go to Ranch in the future and buy a drink, even by myself, just to support the cause.
PS: Austin's "douchiest bar" (believe me ask any woman with an IQ and real boobs) is still by far Malaia.
My Five Favorite Red Dead Redemption Glitches
Rockstar recently released a new game called Back to the Future III. Well thats what I wish the game's plot was about but instead they released a game set in the same era only its about cowboys or something. I don't own the game, not because I don't think it will be awesome but the glitch videos far outweigh any possible gameplay moments. Rockstar is also releasing bug fixes for it and sadly I'd rather play the broken version as opposed to the fixed edition.
Glitch 1: Bird People
Apparently the game has confused the character models for birds and people
Glitch 2: Honing Dynamite
In the 1800s, man's greatest invention was honing dynamite that was used to effectively destroy local bird populations
Glitch 3: Bear Riding a Horse
Either this is a circus mod or just a really funny bug
Glitch 4: The hardest part about rollerblading ...
is telling your parents you're gay
Glitch 5: Horse embedded in the ground
Sandbox Part 3
So let's see, still in the sandbox.
Added links from:
- Trusted article sources
- Wikipedia
- A number of local search sites
- Social (micro-blogging and ugc)
Additional site content added:
- Added a Blog (up to 10 entries right now)
- Added +100 words of additional rich content to a number of subpages
Still nothing, ranking 140 for the main keyword, top 50 for second tier keywords and top 10 for third tier keywords. This is what really sucks, my site has better content and links than my competitors but Google is taking a while to figure it all out. I did find one really good link opportunity that I think will be the shove that pushes my site over the edge and into relevant ranking land but I'll let you know how that turns out.
