  1. I presume you are speaking of our fundagelical leaders.
  2. Gosh, I can't imagine how people might see parallels between two countries that have heavy fundamentalist theocratic influence in their ruling regimes. It's a mystery.
  3. I am unsure how cheese is relates to the tumor. But in any case, I see they didn't say anything about cheez, so you're still good....
  4. In fairness, that's the plan for the US in the coming years, too.....so turn that frown upside down, Nilab! You're going to be a second-class citizen and chattel in either country soon!
  5. Saw a crew of the ebike types on Lamar Friday night. I presume they were all over town. There was a big gaggle of them, but it looked like they followed the traffic signals, only saw them for a bit.
  6. Oh, there is zero doubt that Paxton is going to be our next US Senator in place of Cornyn. Seriously, it's not even going to be close. That's not doom-and-gloom, that's just obvious.
  7. I think the safe course of action is to presume every person is shitty, and treat them accordingly.
  8. Yet…they will. Dude, it’s like you didn’t get the memo: it only gets worse, and there is no bottom.
  9. Today, we put together some "snack bags" that are given out at a homeless mission we work with. Among the non-perishable items we put in there were individual cans of vienna sausages. We had a table literally STACKED with cans of vienna sausages. Pathetic bastard that I am, my mouth started watering and looking around for a bottle of mustard. Instead, I added "vienna sausages" to my grocery list.
  10. Was feeling a bit Scottish (guess I caught a case of it from my wife, who's damned near pure Scot). Didn't go with haggis to make it a full Burns Night supper (two months too late), but went with braised lamb. So, lamb with neeps and tatties (mashed rutabega and mashed potatoes), with gravy made of the pan sauce (browned the meat, then sautee shallots, garlic, and carrots. Add beef stock and thyme sprigs, simmer for several hours. Remove meat and thyme sprigs, puree everything else with an immersion blender, add a dash of kitchen bouquet for color). Fucking fantastic and yes, it tasted just like meals we've had in Scotland. Oh, and the plate's all schmutzy because I used it to stage the meat when I pulled it from the braising pan.
  11. Start ordering the most perverse shit imaginable, in the in-laws name, to be delivered to the in-laws house. By the time the second inflatable sheep fuck doll arrives, they'll get the point. And your FIL may lie about "returning" one of them to the sender.
  12. Toddler asks, enraged, "why won't everyone just do exactly what I demand?!?!" FFS, this fucking timeline.
  13. I've had their poke, it's damned good. We got a sushi tray from a Costco in SOCAL a few years ago on a family vacation, and it was at least as good as the HEB sushi, probably better (I dunno, I ate it on the deck while drinking beer and watching the surf, I wasn't being picky).
  14. Yeah....and they're utterly mid. The ones at Asahi imports are cheaper, and damned good. Sorry, these are a "miss" for HEB.
  15. That's just the picture of health right there. Cancer ain't got a chance.

    I'll take the W. But today's second half was uglier than the ugliest Surly prom date. Shit, it had my wife yelling "what the fucking fuck?" at the TV no fewer than 20 times. We came back from the rain delay with a plan of "try not to lose....but don't try TOO hard." Possession - or lack thereof, and constantly losing it or never even making an easy move to keep it - was shittacular. I know, I know, we spent years complaining about "cool, we win possession 65-35 but can't score goals, so fuck that shit," but goddamn....we don't have to OWN possession, just maybe don't utterly quit on it.
  17. To be fair, the organic, compostable buttplug market just ain't what it used to be. It's just a tough-to-move product these days.
  18. Fuckin’ A.
  19. Ok, so I’m cleaning out my parents’ house and things. Boxes of things that even they had put away and forgotten about. Including some stuff from my grandparents, and I found my grandfather’s service records and photos from WWII. He never really talked about it much - I didn’t know what he did, evacuation kind of unit he was in, or any of that. About all he mentioned over the years was that he genuinely liked the German people the most, he learned to love potato bread, he hated the Red Cross because they tried to charge h for cigarettes immediately post-battle, and when I got an M-1 Carbine, he held it, took a minute, and said he’d carried one of those to Germany. I THINK he did have some ground combat experience, but he was primarily with the 10th Fighter Squadron as an armorer; he worked on P-47s and P-51s. He’s sitting on the wing in the first pic, standing on the right in the second (both taken in France). He’s on the wing of the Mustang in the bottom pic. I presume the snow covered P-47s are around the Battle of the Bulge. His unit crossed the Rhine at Worms (and of course, the obligatory Eiffel Tower pic): The papers are cool, too. He mustered in with a bunch of people from S Texas in 1942. He’s listed as a rancher from Alice, TX. There are some other pics. Including one - just one - of a makeshift morgue, with a shitload of bodies still on the ground, wooden coffins behind them. And then after his European adventure, back to S Texas to work with cattle and the oil patch, like so many others.
  20. Man…Taquitos West Avenue is a thing of beauty.
  21. My brother….
  22. View it in connection with his other commutations/pardons for people convicted of fraud, securities fraud, etc….along with him gutting the SEC and turning the FBI and DOJ away from performing any law enforcement function other than pursuing enemies of the regime. This is about making fraud and grift not just legal, but making them the prime mover of our economy. Fraud and grift are legal now, in all respects.
  23. Fuck that pussy ass bitch. Dishes out cruelty by the ton, yet when someone simply mentions the blowback, he cries like the pathetic, worthless little bitch that he is. The sooner he offs himself the better humanity will be.
  24. Well, Baylor also adds the layer of blaming the victim, at least when the victim is someone inferior, like a female. And when they can layer on some racism. "Of course she got raped....she was hanging out with....that element."
  25. I mean....you at least had to confess the sin. And usually, do SOMETHING for absolution. Far from perfect and definitely worked around....but it at least made a place that required you to state and be contrite for the sin. The fundagelical model? None of that is needed. Rape and murder a puppy? No need to confess, no need to make amends, any of that shit. Nope, you just hold up your "I ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR" card, and you're as good as gold.
