Maya Rudolph is hosting. I’ll check it out.

Probably learned that from Orban.

Like the Brits deciding to give them their own state in Palestine.

Yeah, I don’t think his repeated use of the phrase “little bitty” is helping. Lulz. But that’s a good video. A few things I noticed: He doesn’t put a butt on the bottom rack. That might be a snug fit to try to reach down and remove while the smoker is hot. I’ve got two butts in the freezer and I’m not sure how they would fit. Maybe one would fit okay on the top. I’m definitely never getting a 14” but that was an interesting exposition. He fired that sucker up fresh without doing a burn first while it was empty. I see a lot of people advocating for a preliminary burn to season the thing or burn the gunk off or whatever. I’m pretty skeptical about all of that and he didn’t show me of my skepticism. OMG! He put water in the pan! Yeah, it’s a water smoker. You’re trying to cook in a humid environment to help the smoke do its job. That’s the point. I’m not buying it that leaving the water pan dry is an improvement. He seems to agree. I’m a water guy. He didn’t wrap the butt during the stall. Boy, he was adding more charcoal early (and apparently often). Nice plastic flamingo. In summary, okay he could smoke a butt on the thing. I’m not going to buy one but good for him. How is he reheating that thing for his 4th of July party?

That’s good info. I really hate what Amazon has become and would prefer not to give them my business when I can avoid it. I wonder if I can get a local vendor to price match. Probably not but I know a garden center that might possibly work with me. I can get 10% cash back if I buy from Lowe’s. I’m not sure I want their credit card but if I apply for that they’ll give me 20% off. Ive got to pick up a new PC first so I’m not in a rush. I’ve got time to shop around. But I’m starting to feel that jones.

Maybe she screwed the brains out of him. That might explain why he seems so brainless.

I’m sure it’s fine for smoking sausages, and probably ribs if you slice a rack into thirds. But a bone-in pork butt? That’s out. That’s a deal-breaker right there. I’d like to have a 22” but I’m a single guy and the 18” would satisfy 99% of my needs. I just don’t think it should cost more than $300. It’s not the money, it’s the value. It’s like if they charged $5 for a Snickers bar. I can pay it but it’s not worth that. That’s price gouging.

Jesus. The price for a new 18” WSM is up to $419. (Over $450 with tax.) That seems ridiculously high for such a low tech device. I got excited when I saw that Ace Hardware has one for $279, that seemed more like it. Then I learned there’s such a thing as a 14” WSM. Wtf is up with that? I wish I had metalworking skills. I’d build my own.

Johnny Sack was a stupid mobster so that name fit.

Looks to me like a British mum who might be serving tea and scones.

This is where it’s at:

Feel free to google Uromysitisis.

Your wife is a Christian minister, right?

I get it. Hindsight is 20/20. If she had only lived a few months longer than it wouldn’t be an issue and you wouldn’t be indirectly calling me a moron. If you want to put term limits on Supreme Court justices, I’m willing to listen to your argument. Yes, in retrospect, it would’ve been nice if Obama could’ve appointed her replacement rather than Trump. It would also be really nice if McConnell wasn’t a massive piece of shit who stole two SCOTUS seats for blatantly partisan and unconstitutional reasons. Let’s not lose sight of who the real villains are here.

She’s Tilton-esque.

Hang up your scalpel, doc. I’ve decided you’re too old to practice. That should be my decision and not yours, right? i get the arguments. It’s easy to armchair QB the topic. But we have rights and freedoms in this country and RBG was totally within hers. If she only could’ve held on for a few more months. Or better yet, if McConnell wasn’t a scurrilous, hypocritical scumbag. That’s the bigger issue. Ginsberg was a great person. McConnell is a massive piece of shit whom I can’t wait to talk about in the past tense. He deserves to die. She didn’t. C’est la vie.

By whom? You? I won’t let you tell me shit about what I should do with my life and my work. I can respect RGB’s choice to virtually tell you to fuck off as well. Just a few months longer and it wouldn’t be an issue. Yeah, hindsight is 20/20 but she took her shot. I get it. You wanted her to appease your desires, not her own. I respect her right to do what SHE wants. Sue me.

That was her right. It’s a lifetime appointment. We can debate whether that should be a thing. But as it stands now, it’s a thing and she had every right to do what she did. If she only could’ve held on for a few months longer. It’s sucks that she didn’t but it is what it is. She seemed like she was still mentally sharp right up until the end. I try to put myself in her shoes (robe?) and I can identify with the attitude of ‘Fuck you, I’ll decide when it’s my time to retire.’ Just a few months longer and we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

He hates dogs. He’s probably never been near one.

He wishes.

If they had a sense of humor, they would’ve scheduled her yesterday. But like the song says, Tuesday’s just as bad.

Oh, for sure. I was just saying it for the lawyerly folks who like to insist she’s just dumb.

I have my scripted response. It’s obvious bullshit but I’m going to keep repeating it. That’s my strategy.

At least he’d only be ordering McDonalds and KFC.
