So my birthday dinner last night was spent at Dr. Hogly Wogly's Tyler Texas BBQ...
I think I'm still full...
I don't know what it is about the brisket...I swear that they use crack in all their recipes.

Vons chili...
A few days ago, I ran into a Vons, which was quite confusing since they selling Safeway products in their store. I grabbed a few things for my wife, but knowing my wife's diet, I knew that the possibility of me being hungry was pretty big, so I started to peruse. Me, being the soup guy I am, went to the little soup bar, but with no luck.
They did have the plastic take home soups though...
Hmm...
What's this I spy?
Chili...
Hmm...I wonder if this is any good?
I did not intend to blog about this chili, but here I am, completely satisfied with the perfect blend of steak and beans...Not ground beef, but actual steak...
That is all...
Seriously...That's it...
The chili was so good that it has it's own blog by ProFatKid...Google images needs an image...Seriously...

Holdren's, Tron and TGIF... Another messed up birthday in the books...
I am ProFatKid...
I am capable of eating tremendous amounts of food...
How is it that I was not able to put down a plate of ribs from this place? Mind you, it was ALL YOU CAN EAT RIBS for $20...To be answered soon.
The wife and I are staying at a near by extended stay because our house blew up. After passing by this place for 3 weeks straight, we decided to make a night of her birthday and take her to this steak and seafood place in Newbury Park called Holdren's... Apparently this place has a huge following since it's a copy of a much more renowned Holdren's up in Santa Barbara known for their wine and meat.
We get there kinda early since we're trying to see Tron later in the evening. We get into our booth with my wife's sister and glaze over the menu...A lot of promise. A date night menu? Cajun calamari? Appetizers look great, but they had me at $20 all you can eat ribs. Me being HUNGRY ordered the all you can eat ribs for $20. It even came with a salad and a side.
Classy...My hungry sister in law decided to order the same thing, but my wife, considering it's her birthday, ordered a medium10 oz filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes.
My wedge salad isn't something to write home about, but they did use a lot bleu cheese crumples, which I like a lot. The ranch was ehhhh...On to the ribs...
They weren't hot...It's like the ribs were left out or precooked or something because the food wasn't even warm. I started to eat since I'm starving, but only get through about 3 ribs before I have to send it back. By the time I got the waitress, my food was cold with about a third of the ribs eaten...My sister in law can't even eat half of hers and wants hers warmed up too.
My wife's filet mignon comes...well done...
I'm sorry, but if you are a steak eater, over cooking meat is like pissing into the holy water at church...You just don't do it.
We had them try again, only to leave it charred on the outside and raw on the inside.
Seriously?
You want to mess up a birthday? Over, then under cook my wife's steak.
My ribs come back nice and hot, but then it hits me...My stomach HURTS...I'm not doubled over, but I'm definitely not feeling good...My sister in law looks at me the same way. We both are not feeling well and start to get the swallows. You know that reflex you get when you know you're gonna hurl after a long night of drinking? It was that bad...
It was my wife's birthday, so we think we should go somewhere else for dessert.
The waitress was nice enough to pick up dessert for us, so we stuck around. I mean, how bad can you mess up dessert? After letting us know that they didn't have what we wanted (A brownie sundae), we settled for cheesecake...The cheesecake was lumpy...Something just wasn't right...The waitress let us know that she was sorry that things just weren't going well and that the restaurant's freezer was broken...
THANKS FOR TELLING US AFTER YOU'VE GIVEN US THE CHEESECAKE WHORE!
We pick up the tab and race to Rite-Aid for Pepto-Bismol...
I DIDN'T EVEN FINISH MY RIBS! If you know me, I ALWAYS finish my food...ALWAYS!
Those commercials are no joke...I was feeling fine in about 20 minutes, but I found myself drinking the stuff every 30-45 minutes to keep things down.
On to Tron.
Tron was a lot better then I had expected. Absolute light show in 3D...If you were on acid or ecstasy, your brain would probably explode.
Feeling much better and hungry after the movie, we head to TGI Friday's in Thousand Oaks. We only go for one reason...The brownie obsession...
It's my wife's favorite, so being that it's her birthday, I figure we should indulge her, especially after the disaster at Holdren's.
We get seated at a booth next to the bar and my wife goes to wash her hands. I tell the server immediately that it's my wife's birthday and all we came here for was the Brownie Obsession...
Server: Awww...I'm sorry, we don't have any more brownies...
Me: Seriously?
Server: Seriously...
I told my wife what was going on and even she didn't believe me.
Could this get any better? TGIF is in the same shopping center as RiteAid, home of my wife's favorite ice cream. She walks over while the gimpy sister in law and I order a three for all...Right after we order food, my wife comes back empty handed...
Me: You finished that ice cream quick...
Wife: They said they couldn't serve me ice cream because they didn't have someone there to scoop me ice cream. Apparently, you need to pass a class on scooping ice cream and the only person on shift that is qualified to scoop ice cream will be back in 10 minutes.
Me: F@#$ing Christ...
I get up and go to RiteAid in the rain and demand ice cream for my wife's birthday. I made them give me 4 scoops of ice cream in the most angry, dark and tall guy attitude possible. Seriously? Not qualified to scoop ice cream mother f@#$ers? What kind of people does RiteAid hire as to where they cannot figure out how to scoop ice cream? Is that ice cream mechanism that complicated?
I get back to TGIF with a mound of ice cream and my wife is immediately satiated. The food that my sister in law and I ordered still hasn't arrived...
Seriously?
I was on serious rampage mode by the time the check came. It took her 20 minutes to get us water. I found the manager and asked for the check...
This happens to me and the wife all the time when going out for our birthdays...
List of restaurants that have messed up: (Read my reviews on yelp.com)
Koji's in Hollywood
Fleming's in Woodland Hills X 2!
Cafe 14 in Agoura
Holdren's in Newbury Park
So it's a short list, but I've only been married for a little over a year and a half. The only place that hasn't given us the shaft is Outback in Thousand Oaks...Seriously...

Holy EFF!!
I was about to hop into the shower until I got a twitter update from a friend of mine that covers MMA events @Erik_Fontanez as press (what a lucky bastard...) Of course, I had to check it out...
It can't be that good....Wait...Is that guy going off the ca...Seriously? Freaking SERIOUSLY? What video game inspired this gigantic kick to drop the WEC lightweight champ Ben Henderson? Where did Anthony Pettis pull this from?...
Funny story, Mike from BJJ said that something would happen that would be talked about in MMA history because he forgot to DVR the final WEC event... I don't think Mike could have been more right...
In BJJ, I was always told that you won't feel better if you roll with the same guys since they improve as much as you do...I can't wait to get more mat time in next year.

Blah...
Ugh...
I just finished 2 scoops of ice cream from Baskin Robbins...My wife decided to get me the most disgusting flavors she could think of... Egg nog and gingerbread...My stomach hurts. The donut probably didn't help either...
Watching the newest Terminator with the wife and dog... Why does Christian Bale always try to talk so raspy? It seems like he's always trying to sound like Batman...
Also something else I noticed...Sam Worthington did an insane amount of movies over the past few years...Terminator, Avatar, Clash of the Titans and whatever else was huge...I just realized that he's the voice to the main character in Black Ops.
Chinese food...It probably didn't help the current situation either...
A lot of things going on...I'll get more into it when things have settled...
Training BJJ tomorrow...Looking forward to my BJJ training days every week...Hopefully next month, I'll be able to train multiple times a week...I have a feeling that training in the morning is going to be much different from training at night...We shall see.
Christmas is coming around the corner...Gifts are still being accepted...ha...
