  1. HEB has individually wrapped Empanadas in the frozen section. Was their PRIMO PICK award winner this year. Owned by a longhorn and founded in Austin.  Three in stores 
    Spinach Mushroom
    Vegan Black Bean
    Cheeseburger

    We’ve tried them, they’re pretty good - and they’re substantial. The kids take em for lunch on occasion.

  2. Like a picadillo?  Beef, onions, olives, maybe carrots?  I'm down for that.  Off to Phoenicia I go . . .

    Yep. My folks’ housekeeper would go really simple: beef, onion, salt, pepper, garlic.
  3. Doesn't Norway have a required military stint for all males and females and issue a rifle(HK417?) to keep at home for all those that have served?

    Doesn’t seem like it. Dad is my age, he DID inherit a rifle when his dad died - had been issued to his grandpa in 1935. He ended up turning it in, because he had no use for it. He was most fascinated when I had 6 guns out on the table, cleaning, oiling, checking the action, etc. He doesn’t have any experience with firearms, and he would have been subject to service, I would think.

    We’re hitting up Pieous tonight, while the girls are at prom (just offloaded a houseful of Norwegian girls along with my daughter onto the prom scene. That was a trip).
  4. I am not sure that we will ever be able to break from that without drama. There is a lot of inertia. But ideally, we engage a series of constitutional amendments addressing the conduct and financing of ballot access, political campaigns, and elections as a starting point. Realistically, I don't think that things change meaningfully without a great amount of blood shed.

    Huh.

    I say the exact same thing, and I’m the overreacting guy on a ledge and such. Interesting indeed.
  5. Phoenicia carries frozen La Saltena empanada wrappers, both the baking and frying kind. When my folks lived in Buenos Aires, that’s the brand that everyone used. Easy, and damned tasty. We usually just do some variant of beef, traditional argentine style.

  6. I blame this naivete on the post-WW2 nuclear family, styrene plastic model-airplane kits and their requisite glue, as well as Malibu Barbie (who actually should have been good at math class, seeing as how she was modeled after a German prostitute.)
    Prior to WW2, people either lived in pestilential tenements/almost-touching shotgun shacks, and possibly spied on each other, or they were well enough off to have servants, who definitely spied. Our great-great-grandparents had sense enough to keep their yaps shut. We must relearn that.

    Blah blah blah “German prostitute”.....go on.
  7. They didn't call you out that fajitas aren't chicken? (I'm team chicken fajitas FTR)

    I didn’t even call them fajitas. I called em grilled chicken tacos. And I slapped it all together in about 25 mins after work (HEB premarinated meat FTW). They’d been traveling for 20 hours. I figured they weren’t yet up for a beer and cognac (they brought gifts)-fueled Brisketexan rant yet. I’ll let them acclimate first.

    Today, I’ll be cleaning and prepping guns in the living room. That should ease them into things.
  8. If something happens to Omar after this shit he's throwing out, there's no walking back from that. Fox News once had to tell him to lay off Megyn Kelly because she was getting death threats after he went after her. Perhaps it's time they do the same for Omar. It will be on them too. 

    It won’t matter. She’s a mooslem. She had it comin’. That will be their take, and that will be that.

    Nothing matters. You know that by now.

  9. Just now, jimmyjazz said:

    How exactly does the federal government flood specific cities with immigrants?  Are they literally going to bus them downtown and drop them off?  That would make for a helluva news story.

    Well, see, first you have to set up a Trump Bus company.  Then, that company has to be awarded a huge contract to transport mexicans (including people from all the mexicos) for a flat rate of $5,000 per head.  Then, you have to overcount the number of mexicans on each bus.  Then, those buses have to be really shitty and break down a couple of miles after leaving the original station.

    Lots of ins and outs and what have yous.

  10. Don't overstate where we are.  We are at step 6 of 10.

    But fucking seriously -- we're at fucking step 6 of 10.  That's, umm, plenty bad.

    It's as if we had a list of "10 stages of your house burning down," and the response to folks who are worried is "chill, we're only at step 6."  It seems that we are to kick back, relax, and not worry until we're here:

    That seems.....stupid.
