  1. GF and I went to Josephine House Friday night - we had been there before but both of us remarked afterwards that we need to put it in our regular "date night" rotation. had a table in the corner of the patio with no one seated near us, service was top notch - we sat for 2 1/2 hours with no rush felt whatsoever; menu is small but everything we had was very well done. the opposite of a loud, busy, see and be seen type place (which is nice once and a while, but the quiet, intimate environment is more our speed). i think it will fill the space left by Fabi & Rossi for us
  2. “this picture really makes me proud to be a Republican. why can’t Democrats be more sincere and genuine and love America like this?” -Republicans
  3. what about Antifa though? Why aren't we talking about that? -100% of Republicans
  4. they support crazy, evil, racism, and anti-Americanism, and are complicit by virtue of every R lever they pull.
  5. when i discover that someone identifies as a Republican, and/or votes for, or supports any Republican, for any office, at any level, I know: (a) they are a fundamentally dishonest person; and (b) I should completely disregard anything and everything they say about .... well, anything. its nice when they make that easy for me.
  6. why is Adam Driver in every movie now
  7. Aba on South Congress edit: make reservations way ahead of time

    Dessert

    sticky toffee date pudding at The Peacock is amazing, probably my #2
  9. spicy chickpea, potato and kale stew topped with yogurt and roasted spiced chickpeas
  10. because she is the most representative spokesperson of the Republican party today. why would they denounce her?
  11. why do hispanic folks commonly name their kid Jesus, but white folks don't?* *i mean, at least as far as I can see
  12. why do pistachios that come still in the shell, that you peel and shell yourself taste exponentially better than the ones that come pre-shelled?
  13. fuck that. anyone who entered the building that day without authorization should be executed for treason. there was really no such thing as someone unknowingly, or mostly innocently following the crowd in. it was obvious that the building was being overtaken by force. those who let others do the heavy lifting (and assaulting and killing people including law enforcement in the process) and then supporting them by following them in to disrupt the process does not diminish their culpability IMO.
  14. that list being: 1. all Republicans end of list
  15. all of those things and amazing levels of dishonesty. the one constant among all Republican elected officials, voters, and supporters is that they are fundamentally dishonest.
  16. the former President, and the guy with an approval rating in the mid to high 90s among Republicans.
  17. and the tens of millions of scumbags who vote for and support them
  18. i was in the candy aisle at the convenience store the other day and thought to myself, I have never eaten one of these, nor have i ever considered it, nor have i ever seen another person eat one, purchase one, have one in their possession, or mention it as something good. out of curiosity, i looked it up and it has been around for over 100 years. i guess i now (sorta) know one person on planet earth who has ever eaten a zero bar.
  19. indeed. gonna take a lot of rope to deal with everyone still voting Republican
  20. standard scoring with a few tweaks $100 entry league has been going for last 5 years - had a couple people drop out last year so we did it as an 8 team league. 1 of those dropped so we need 1 to make 8 teams, or 3 to make 10 teams PM if interested

    Dessert

    Clark's basque cake with house made cream cheese ice cream and cherry preserves is the best dessert in Austin
  22. heck yeah. find yourself a nice Lebanese girl and have her bring you home to meet the family and hope that mom or grandma makes some kibbeh nayeh as part of the spread. maybe you can get that at Lebanese stores or restaurants in bigger cities, dunno; never seen it in Austin outside of peoples homes.
  23. my dad made that too and called it slum gullion
