  1. It was not a proper aperitif for R'Evolution
  2. MMA episode. That is all
  3. can I borrow this coyote?
  4. There's supposed to be a Scampia tour that postures itself as "this is not Gomorrah" that is supposed to be cool but I prefer the grittier depiction where they murder women and children in cold blood I'm thinking we'll leave one of later days open in the event the weather is nice to take a boat trip. Procida looks interesting.
  5. we're booked for ten days in March. Florence > Rome > Naples. We've got friends living in Rome, so we structured the trip to spend a few days Florence, extended weekend in Rome, and a few days in Naples. The vagaries of the calendar being what they are, we elected to head straight to Florence after landing in Rome so as not to burn an additional day travelling. Question for the initiated: how long should I anticipate it will take to clear customs at Fiumicino? We booked one of the Florence in a day tours to bang out the big hits on day 1 so we can spend the other days getting lost and eating Coliseum Underground and Pristine Sistine booked as well so we can bang out this hits and spend the rest of the time getting lost and eating Only thing we've booked in Napoli is a culinary backstreets tour the internet seems to think highly of. National Museum, Herculaneum, Statue of the Veiled Christ on the agenda. Probably won't have time to visit Secondigliano, much to my chagrine <sucks teeth>. rest of the time getting lost and eating Open to recs, mofos 'ta poste
  6. of all the times I've been to New Orleans, it wasn't until last year that I stumbled upon the Erin Rose and discovered the majesty of the frozen irish coffee
  7. Thanks for the head’s up. Been waiting for this for a long time
  8. That’s because it was, according to imdb
  9. For the money, I’ve been very satisfied with the sig 716i .308. It roars like a lion Also there is a place on westheimer Range USA that has an impressive selection of AR offerings. Only place I ever saw the SFAR in the wild
  10. Feral hog ranch house ragu. Slammed and went hard etc
  11. It does, but it’s not to the same consistency as one would if beating whites to soft peaks. Appears you just beat to mix and then the important part is the slow mix of the booze so as not to denature the proteins. I’ve always made AB’s aged nog and while it’s good, as others have noted it tends to collapse over time and I haven’t really noted any real benefit to the aging process. Also, it tends to be thinner than what I want from nog. I’m hoping the good doctor’s recipe hits the sweet spot for viscosity on a three week aging to christmas
  12. In my nog studies this weekend, I came across Dr. Lancefield’s Rockefeller U nog recipe. Will be making a batch this week for Christmas. Her recipe calls for the cream to be beaten rather than the huevos. Posting here, for science.
  13. Good Christmas movie. Ralph Cifaretto and Spiros Vondopolous in the house
  14. goddamn it mac I told myself I wouldn't be fooled
  15. Got down to Whitsett the weekend before Thanksgiving. I was able to bring one of my best friends who is currently fighting stage 4 colon cancer and his treatment schedule finally aligned. I've spent a ton of time at his family's place in East Texas but he hasn't been to our ranch since we got it in 2021. If the theme of the weekend was to do as much South Texas stuff as possible in the event he never gets back, we 100% checked that box. He's not too mobile in the mornings, so I sat Saturday AM by myself, saw a big 8 point and some smaller 8s. There is a freakshow (8pt) I've seen on cameras that is on my target list this year, but I have a ton of meat in the freezer and I told Mrs. Laz I likely won't soot a deer this year. Well, freakshow showed up and I let him walk. Hard to describe him - his left antler is a typical 4 point, but his right is like two long points kind of twisted together. I don't really care about trophies, but I'm a sucker for weirdos. To be determined. Saturday to the feed store, then we took a detour to Choke Canyon SP where we took a short hike along the shoreline, jumped a 6' gator, and then--owing to a misguided shortcut attempt--wound up low crawling through pig tunnels in the brush with me using bare hands to open the way so he wouldn't snag his chemo port. Lunch at Max's, yardwork, then an evening sit. Not too much in the way of deer coming to the feeders. It's pretty green and I watched a small buck browsing on granjeno for a good bit of time that morning. Towards sunset, a group of Javelina showed up and we watched them for a while until sunset. Sunday morning, I went back out and the deer were similarly sparse and unremarkable. In the almost three years we've owned the place, I've only seen pigs in daylight once. I was on foot and rushed the shot, and they escaped unharmed. I'd put a 0800 hard stop in order to clean up and break camp before noon. Well, lo and behold, about 0750 a sounder of 6 pigs shows up at one of the feeders. I lined up on a good eating black pig and took the shot. Didn't see it drop, but a brown one went down kicking. When the dust settled, I approached and found that the black one dropped like a rock DRT, and the 168gr .308 brained the brown one too. I processed one, left the other for the coyotes. Cooked up the backstrap and Mrs. Laz, despite her initial misgivings, cleaned her plate. /CSB
  16. had the burger at Toasted Coconut for the first time in a long time last week, and it is still one of the top burgers in Houston
  17. just watched BlacKKKlansman on a flight recently and there is a great moment when Isiah Whitlock drops a sheeeeit but gets cut off prematurely
  18. just reached the Peterman era on our re-watch and I am here for it.
  19. Men in Blazers reported that bc of FIFA rules that the same continent can't hold successive tournaments, they added South America at the eleventh hour to block Europe, Africa, and South America from '34. Then, shortly after the 2030 hosts were announced, the House of Al Saud dropped it's '34 bid, and then shortly after FIFA Pres announced any competing bids had to be submitted within three weeks or some ridiculous timeline. Get your robes ready for your winter world cup '34
  20. Been slow playing S4 partly bc I forgot my hulu password, and partly because I didn’t want the ride to end. Finished it last night. Standing ovation, hats off, bravo to the creators of one of the best television shows of the 21st century, and a genius work in the pantheon of Black art. You have an amazing spirit. Thank you for sharing your time with me.
  21. probably not as much as the clutch on the tractor. when it rains, it pours
  22. I want to write the story of the 2017 Rockdale Tigers State Championship because it is an amazing story that the Hollywood scriptwriters couldn't have fashioned better if they tried. Other times, I want to write it as though someone wrote a book about it, then the book got sold, and then the Hollywood scriptwriters get involved and totally muck it up
  23. if you didn't stick around for the post-credits extended Big-Bev scene, it's hysterical
  24. fvckin tractors man. This happened to us last year. Same timing
