Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Don't Slap Your Mother Edition

Man I really need to watch Versus again.

Dinosaur BBQ is the best BBQ sauce hands down.

Every time they do a video with the entire GB crew together it just makes me wish that it could be like that all the time. GB West and GBeast is cool and all but together they are fuckin' unstoppable!

Jeff wearing his classic orange polo makes me happy.

I am a journalist as well. I cover games for a medium circulation newspaper. So I guess it is really just a loan to a colleague, I guess?

Hey buttface, there is a Rochester location, too! I was actually thinking of you when I grabbed that bottle at the Wegman's. Also: Hey, it's weird seeing you here and not on Twitter.

YA! With that and Vinny in the shot, I was all, "damn... is this a re-upload or something?!"

@ch3burashka: Here's $5 for Dan to buy a forty so he doesn't mix this scotch with garbage.

Later on Dan: We can drink the scotch out of those. Just gotta mix it with something.

@vargasprime: Yes. I agree Gorgeous isn't the best of Chan's films, but I also think that the fightscenes you mentioned really makes it.

For anyone curious: The main difference between watching his Western produced movies like Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon and the HK productions like Supercop and Rumble in the Bronx is that him and his stunt team are allowed to do a lot more. The American movie insurance companies is what have kept them from being able to do what they really wanted to do.

Take Rumble in the Bronx for instance. The scene where he's jumping from the parking garage to a fire escape on a different building is just things they sorta eyeball and go "I can probably make that jump". I think it's only Buster Keaton who was that kind of crazy!

The outtakes during credits of his movies are always fun to watch as well, as you get to see all the times the stunts didn't go as planned. In Rumble in the Bronx he finished the movie with a broken leg in a cast! "Can't stop shooting now! We gotta finish this movie guys!"

That's about the right reaction to have.

Fucking Vinny reading that transformers lore had me going for the first bit.. haha

I wish I just randomly got Eightarc sticks in the mail :(

YES! Like the good ol' times.

Still my favorite. Seems even more appropriate these days.

I was just thinking "Two Scott Halls!" right before Dan pointed it out!

Eerie.

Momma slappin' Monday confirmed

It's basically a kind of candy with nuts in it.

@cb1115: I laughed at that a little too hard.

"Does that run in American computers?"

WHAT? C'MON.

yes cause unlike before he isn't in everything all the time (this gif really didn't make sense back then. should make my brad version and spam that.)

The guy who sent the New Orleans box beat me to it. When they mentioned Zapp's a while back, I was going to send a box of assorted flavors, but never got around to it. I hope the guy packed in Crawtaters, Creole Onion, and Tabasco flavors as well. Maybe I'll still get around to it at some point. Throw in some gator jerky and Abita beer.

Also, Community coffee is great stuff. I'm not a coffee snob, but I read somewhere that it was rated up there with some of the best coffee you can get. I grew up on Community tea and coffee, though, so I don't know.

Lastly, it's true. If you say "pray-lean" around anyone from Nola, we will instinctively slap you upside the head. :) Also, holds for "New Orleeens".

Ironically, the Dinosaur BBQ in Troy is rather mediocre. Wonder if Vinny and/or Alex are aware of the one in Harlem. I just assume anyone in NYC knows every restaurant in NYC.

@heghmohqib: Haven't been to the one in Troy. The Dino BBQ in Harlem is pretty awesome. Totally different vibe than the CNY locations. If you want it cooked near perfect, you go to the one in Syracuse.

@thegrue72: Well all of Dan's opinions are complete garbage.

Love you Vinny!

There really needs to be someone there that can appreciate a good scotch. I'd be happy as hell to get a Spinnaker 12 in the mail from someone. Ecstatic, even!

Their office has WAY too much wrestling stuff...

YEEAAAAA
