Back to the future part II...




I love all things related to Back to the Future: Part II. I love Michael J. Fox, Hoverboards, Deloreans, and those shoes Michael J. Fox wears in the year 2015. Here they are. You can probably buy them online somewhere, or else you can just make up a story about how you have a friend who has them. Either way, I don't give a shit.

Harry's Grill








Harry's Grillis your typical burger combo joint where you can get a great burger anyway you like and some nice fries with seasoning and maybe a cold side of ranch if you like it that way. There is probably a diner/ eating establishment/ place like this near you. Maybe Ted's or Jim's or Troy's. Harry's Grill is basically like all of those places with a few exceptions... 1. it's right on PCH in Sunset Beach, 2. it is two stories tall, and 3. the funniest pelican in the world eats lunch there.

I know. A pelican. I have heard of dogs with personality or cats who are emotional, but this was the funniest fucking bird I had ever seen in my life. We ate back there about two weeks ago and this pelican looked first of all, drunk off his ass. Secondly, he was hopping around on the outside patio out there like he was Jim Carrey or something back in his prime. So much of comedy is non-verbal. This bird just looked like a cool guy to kick it with. I would love to go grab some drinks with this pelican sometime.

So anyway, the food is incredible. I usually wind up ordering the burger combo or the chicken fingers. The fries are great. The soda is cold. You can see the ocean from the second floor patio. The service is top notch, friendly and professional. It is a great burger, but I will never forget that bird.

Gauntlet



Gauntlet was the next level of video gaming in the 80s. I remember going to Bullwinkle's and seeing a game that four people could play at the same time. Wizard, Warrior, Elf, and Valkyrie. Blue, Red, Green and Yellow. good night.

Tron






Tron is tight. The colors, logos, technology... even the font is crazy. They even play frisbee.
