  1. Agree with everything here, except that kids mostly have no choice. In Canada maybe, but here in the US, unfortunately this isn't the case. Anecdotally, I can tell you that only a small percentage of kids wear them. For the ones who do, it's typically the turtle neck style with the kevlar reinforced necks. My kid fought it because he said it was hot, but quickly got used to it. I do think we'll see more usage now at the youth level, but it'll come via parents and individual associations first before state and federal governing bodies. Here's the most recent statement from USA Hockey that I've been able to find (they only go so far as to recommend): As a goalie, my kid finally gave into the trifecta of dangler, clavicle guard, and shirt- all serving different but overlapping protection.
  2. Yes. It was called "chicken chili and cheese taco".
  3. Posting here instead of the chili thread because, well, I don't want to get murdered. I grew up in San Antonio. During high school, we basically lived at a restaurant on Bandera Rd. called Fajita Cocina. Along with all of the standard Tex-Mex fare was, by far, my favorite menu item. The chili and cheese taco. That was over 30 years ago, and I've been chasing the recipe ever since. Here is my latest effort: Ingredients (most of them anyway) are collected. Dried guajillo and Ancho taking a bath. Chicken is seasoned and seared Tomato, onion, and fresh peppers are ready to join the reconstituted peppers in the blender. All in the pot with a floated jalapeno 4 beers later... Garnished with cilantro, cheese, and raw onion Delicious.
  4. Lots and lots of folks (myself included) use reconstituted or powdered poblanos (Ancho), but I've personally never used fresh ones. I don't see how it could hurt, especially if blended.
  5. It was my worst fear as a hockey parent. Neck and clavicle protection is still rarely worn, even for goalies. Please, no one post the video. If you're into snuff films you can find it elsewhere.

  12. Funny, Batshit crazy Michele Bachmann wouldn't be considered in the top 50 today.
  13. Tom Emmer- MN 6th District If you don't know him, you may recognize his predecessor.
  14. Sweet. Are ya'll going to Curl?
  15. He was talking about popularity among the public. I mean, no one is going to take the trouble to threaten the life of someone's wife over Tom Emmer amiright?
  16. The dancing bear was always my favorite act in the Circus but I wouldn't have advocated to allow it to set up the big top and secure the highwire.
  17. This is a fast moving thread today, so I'll post this again. Jordan is cauliflower-ears deep in the campaign to terrorize the No votes. Group aligned with Freedom Caucus is behind pro-Jordan pressure campaign From CNN's Melanie Zanona The Conservative Partnership Institute — a group headed up by former Freedom Caucus Chair Mark Meadows, who is Jim Jordan’s close ally — has been an active player in the intense, outside pressure campaign aimed at boosting Jordan’s speakership candidacy, sources tell CNN. CPI has been coordinating calls and helping strategize with right-wing activists about ways to apply pressure on holdouts and whip up support for Jordan, sources say. Jordan has denounced the threats and harassment some of his detractors are facing, and has denied any involvement in the right-wing intimidation tactics. But CPI is very closely tied to the Freedom Caucus, which even holds their weekly meetings at CPI’s headquarters. There’s growing anger among the holdouts over the bullying they are facing from some of Jordan’s allies on the right, and they say they are disappointed with Jordan’s response — which is only hardening their opposition. Rep. Don Bacon tells CNN: “Jordan and his team are in denial over the threats and harassment his supporters are doing. Jordan’s response has been tepid.”
  18. Seriously, the CNN reporters are killing it right now. Eight GOP members that ousted McCarthy are offering to "accept some consequence" in exchange for colleagues to support Jordan From CNN's Melanie Zanona and Haley Talbot Rep. Matt Gaetz speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill on October 11. Kevin Lamarque/Reuters GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz said the eight Republicans that voted to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy sent a letter to their colleagues encouraging them to vote for Jim Jordan for speaker and that they are willing to “accept some consequence” in order to get them to do so. “If what these holdouts need is a pound of our flesh, we're willing to give it to them in order to see the election of Jordan for Speaker,” Gaetz said standing alongside GOP Reps. Crane, Good and Tim Burchett just after the failed vote. “If what people need is to see the eight of us rapped on the knuckles in order to get onto the business of governing, what we're saying is we're open minded,” Gaetz added. In terms of specific consequences, Gaetz said they “are willing to accept censure, sanction, suspension, removal from the Republican conference, we of course will remain Republicans, we will continue to vote with Republicans on Republican principles.” Many holdouts have expressed that their hesitation lies with the strong arm tactics used. Gaetz insisted that was the work of outside groups and not Jordan. “We know Jim Jordan, I've worked with Jim Jordan on the House Judiciary Committee. He's not a person who leads to strong arm tactics. I think Jim Jordan has been unfairly blamed by some for the tactics of outside groups that Jim Jordan has no control over,” Gaetz said. The eight that voted to remove McCarthy said they don’t support removing Patrick McHenry as Pro Tem. “Speaker McHenry Pro Tem deserves credit for resisting calls to expand the pro tem role beyond how it is contemplated in the Constitution. Patrick McHenry has earned our respect for having abided by the limitations on the power of the pro tem position and for that you should be commended.”
