    You'd think the Rolling Stones official channel would know that show did not take place in 2005.  

    Just a commentary on the fact that Bob Wills, of Light Crust Doughboy fame, "Is Still the King."  There are lots of ways that folks that make great music can get paid.

    Not really. . . Peter Cetera was a founding member, and his fingerprints were all over cheesy hits recorded before Kath died ("Wishing You Were Here", "If You Leave Me Now", "Baby What a Big Surprise").

    One of their documentaries said something to the effect that Chicago already had enough established rock music for radio airplay from their first 7 albums so that they needed to go in a different direction if they wanted to put anything new on the airwaves.  Of course, most all of that post-Chicago 7 stuff sucked balls.  I still appreciate their earlier body of work.

    That's funny. I have not seen those ... we did just the individual cups that are filled during the Eucharist. I grew up Baptist, and that is how we always did it ... plates of bread with trays of individual (but not pre-packaged) wine.

    If Baptist, I'm thinking that liquid was just "grape juice."  I have a very dear Baptist preacher uncle who gives a very compelling sermon about how the miracle of the wedding at Cana was simply a bad translation -- our Lord and Saviour would certainly had nothing to do with intoxicants!

    Yeah, it's a hard tradeoff.  I don't think I can manage a full 12-day trip. I will if I can, but given the limitation I will pick the Championship Series over the first few days.

    There will likely be plenty of rooms available after a couple of eliminations.  Get up there when you can.  I've stayed in Lincoln and Council Bluffs on late reservations.  Really not a big deal.  It's Omaha, after all!

    ACNA here also. Similar experience. However, our church pulled out the good ole Baptist single-serving wine cups and made a few other modifications but relatively normal.

    You gotta figure that those single-serve communion manufacturer's have been making bank the last two years!

    I'm kind of a Traditionalist.  I have a hard time thinking of the "real presence" coming from a coffee creamer package.

    Same. Went to the 4pm Christmas Eve pageant. The Sanctuary was packed – largest crowd since the pandemic hit. Everyone wore masks, with the exception of a couple kids who looked to be in the two or younger age range. During communion they distributed the host by hand, but we could only dip it in the wine – no drinking directly from the chalice.

    I’m sure some cases will come from that service. But our liberal clergy and congregation seems to have said fuck it at this point, relying on a combination of vaccinations and a milder variant.

    ACNA here.  Some vulnerable folks were masked, most were not.  Communion was either taken in one kind or after intinction by the priest. 

    To paraphrase you:  "our [conservative] clergy and congregation seems to have said fuck it at this point, relying on a combination of vaccinations and a milder variant."

    At last we have all found some common ground!

    Friends, Romans and Surlyites, lend me your expertise.

     

    SO and I are going to Oahu December 29 through Jan. 4. Already have MIghty Mo and Arizona tours lined up.  

    But, we don't like to eat with the tourists.

    Any recommendations on good foodie spots inhabited by the locals? Seafood, Asian, fresh ingredients. We will have a rental car so travel is not a problem.

    Thank you Gentlemen (and possibly Ladies).

    Honolulu has a big Chinatown area.  We spent a Christmas day there and had a gastronomical feast.  Nobody acted like they spoke English, but we just pointed at pictures on the menu in the restaurants or at food being prepared in the open-air markets.  It was one of the highlights of our trip.

  8. Stay at Harrah's Casino in Council Bluff, IA across the river.  Walk across the river bridge to downtown Omaha, the ballpark, and to other downtown food and drink.  Play golf at Dodge Park next to Harrah's.  Win big money at the Harrah's Casino.  What's not to like?

    Smoke ring is from nitrogen oxide in smoke reacting with the myoglobin in meat.  There is a narrow temperature band that this reaction occurs.  My guess would be the insulated smoker is too efficient and the meat isn’t cool enough for long enough to develop the smoke ring.

    Here is a detailed explanation of the science behind smoke rings:

    Thanks man.  It is really confusing, I always equated smoke ring to smoke penetration in the meat. I assumed my previous attempts were due to the shorter smoke times, but this went 8 hours and still nothing. Wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing something wrong. It was amazing only having to go out there to spritz the meat every hour or so late in the cook.  

    The smoke ring is useless, thus sayeth Daniel Vaughn:

    The Science of the Smoke Ring

    And why it has no bearing on the quality of brisket.

    Ewers is definitely the better of the two.  The kid can uncork it for 70 yards almost effortlessly. No need for a huge windup. 

    Maalik has a beautiful delivery also. But needs more reps. He might even have  better touch on the deep ball, if so, it's only slightly better. What I like most about Maalik is him willing to sit and learn.  If we don't land Arch, Maalik should have a solid grasp of the offense and be more than capable of taking over the roll without any drop off

    That hurdle of the defender on a keeper was a thing of beauty!  Welcome to Texas!
