You know when youre watching the Rachel Maddow Show and you have no idea where shes going. Shes very random. When shes talking about Grindals Den and im talking about what the shes talking about Grindals Den. And rachel, i dont want to date myself, but all of my experience in Grindals Den was before they had a Liquor License, okay .
