  1. Yep. Paul Blart mall cop and a couple other dudes would easily stamp out any trumpkin revolution. The notion of that is simply laughable. 
    Of much greater danger is Trump waking up and using the full power of the executive branch to keep him in power after he loses the next election. While I don’t find that likely, I find that much more concerning than a bunch of dipshit trumpkins talkin’ revolution on the net. 

    The second that the Chief Justice swears in the next president, a squatter in the White House who won’t vacate for the new president becomes a physical threat to that president. The Secret Service forcing him out would be glorious.

  2. just curious who they're going to 'march' on ?

    That’s the thing. What they’re talking about attacking is the government that’s in place after kicking Trump out. So, you know, the US capitol, other government facilities. So, like, America. They are openly talking about attacking a legally elected American government. Again, some fucksticks tried that before. America burned their fucking cities, and slaughtered them on the field of battle. If they want to try Civil War 2, Electric Boogaloo, I hope for the same outcome: my country will slaughter the rebels.

     

    But who are we kidding. Trumpkins couldn’t organize a one car funeral. They’d shit their pants and scatter at the first sight of the Army. Shit, at the first sight of Paul Blart, mall cop.

  3. These people need to be wiped from our country.




    Bring it, dipshits.

    Between the US Army, which already crushed a dumbass insurrection once, and those of us loyal to the republic, not a cult (and yeah, these idiots think they’re the only ones who are armed)...bring it.

    My grandfather shot nazis hostile to our country 75 years ago. If they want to attack my country, I have no problem making it a family tradition.

  4. Atchafaya for dinner. No pics, but started with a charcuterie board with wagyu pastrami that all agreed was one of the best bites of beef we’ve ever had, duck head cheese (I loved it), cracklings (ok), pickled veggies (really good, actually - veggies ended up being a star all over the meal), and boudin balls (very well done).

    I had a chickpea harissa soup that sounded a lot better than it was. Clear broth, whole chickpeas. Decent flavor, but nothing outstanding. Would have been better if a chickpea purée was part of the base.

    I got reddish on the half shell with crabmeat - definitely well done, but the sautéed greens that came with it were outstanding. Daughter got the sautéed mushroom dish - also good, but the grilled winter squash that came in it was the star.

    Wife and son won. She got the steak and scallops combo, and the strip slices and scallops were done perfectly. Side was an interesting veggie melange with French bread croutons and a pesto. And the boy totally won - they had a crabmeat ravioli as an appetizer. He asked if he could just double it for an entree. They did - it was a simple fold over ravioli stuffed with lots of crabs and some shiitakes with a citrus beurre blanc. It was incredible, and he was so happy.

  5. Never in my life, have I been out of the house, kinda hungry, decide to get something to eat, and thought, man, I could go for a hot dog.
     

    Growing up in Houston, JCI was most definitely a thing. Hell, if we can make it work, it’s one of the wife’s must-visit places when we’re in town.
  6. I realize this is a mild story, but this is only one example: The feigned Incompetence act is exhausting. my MIL saw a recipe for cranberry moonshine (cranberries soaked in moonshine) and gave it a try. She bought the only moonshine available at her local liquor store. It wasn’t that good. We tried and told her that (based on our trip to Gatlinburg this past summer) that’s its ok, but it’d be good with better moonshine. She starts making excuses, about the only moonshine this, and I’ve never that. We weren’t judging, we were complementing the effort, and trying to help, but whatever. 
     
    she also didn’t understand my statement that Chrissy Teagan has “fat girl tits”, but that’s her problem.

    Ain’t nuthin’ wrong with Teagan tits.
  7. No kidding. Was just thinking this as I responded to Brat’s post. You’d think any raggedy looking wide eye white boy would be shot or beat to death on site. That is certainly how I’d see it playing out had they nuked San Fran. Those Japanese internment camps would turn into death camps like in a hurry. 

    Well, when you consider that effectively nobody on earth knew what this new city-killing bomb was, they just saw a single detonation and a city turn to ash...yeah, I can see how shock and confusion and defeat were the overriding emotions.
  8. You'd think that at some point in reading the script you might realize to yourself, "this is a piece of shit"
     

    A few years ago, I was on a flight to DC with an acquaintance - she was a utility GM, and she was heading there with several of her linemen to support them in some national competition. I definitely appreciate linemen, hard work and they can be some tough SOBs....but goddamn that movie looks terrible.

    And Kate Bosworth is gorgeous, but needs to eat a sammich.

    And finally...a movie about linemen that doesn’t use “Wichita Lineman” in the soundtrack is worthless.

  9. No doubt, but those look like something you buy in a 20 lb sack from the freezer at Sam's.  I will admit I had good success overseas with jumbos but you have to cut them up into smaller chunks.

    Huh. They were fresh from HEB.

    And we use smaller shrimp for a simple reason - so you get em in your spoon. Really, we prefer crawfish, but sticking with what’s in season.
