    Looks great SS, even as a teetotaler I’d enjoy that. It doesn’t count when it’s used with cooking.

    Gonna fry up some big fat pork chops. Then nestle em on a bed of sauteed red cabbage, shredded carrot, and shallots. Mix in some chopped parsley at the end, and a splash of cider vinegar. Oh, and bacon. Sautee everything in bacon grease and a little olive oil.

    • SP

      That sounds tasty.

      We’re doing panini here.

      After Zoom festivities.

      • Nephilium

        So giant sandwiches stuffed with cole slaw and french fries?

        When the first fancy restaurants tried selling little delicate pressed sandwiches, it confused many locals.

      • Chafed

        After Zoom festivities? What do you plan to eat?

    • Tundra

      Air fryer jerk wings before hockey. Tasty!

    • KSuellington

      I noticed that you like your pork chops. If you got a good butcher that has nice ones that is great. If not you can give these a go. They are the best chops I’ve had outside of a restaurant.

        Thanks for the heads up. I’ll always try some mail order meat.

        I only buy meat from the butcher shop. This is my go to spot https://yelp.to/tyiWlThvoeb

        This place is in my hood, but a little pricier. https://yelp.to/T72TeVqvoeb

        They both have excellent meats. Time for dinner. Night y’all!

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        I’ll always try some mail order meat.

        I thought you got brides on the internet these days.

      • Chafed

        Thank you.

      • blackjack

        But can they tell you the name and lifestyle of the animals? Or is that just Portland?

        We have this place. Not too much more expensive than the crappy major supermarkets and WAY better!

  3. Rebel Scum

    That reminds me that I am thawing some sirloin to make jerky. *checks fridge* I could probably slice it up and marinate it tonight, but . . . I could also wait until tomorrow.

  4. Scruffy Nerfherder

    I just ate a bunch of dry fried eggplant and shredded tofu with hot and numbing sauce.

    My bunghole will be complaining to me tomorrow.

    • Rebel Scum

      I like the Thai spicy basil sauce. It does not like me.

    • Chipping Pioneer

      I would eat only one of those three things.

    • Chafed

      Numbing sauce doesn’t work down below?

  5. pistoffnick

    I’m not Irish, but I love this time of year. Corned beef is on sale.

    I have corned beef thawing. Gonna sous vide it tomorrow and then hot smoke it on the grill.

    • Rebel Scum

      On Paddy’s Day I listen to Dropkick Murphys and drink green Bud Lite. I do everything right. ///jk

      Last year I made corned beef and cabbage and had some Smithwicks Red. Might do that again.

      • Nephilium

        Dropkick’s are doing a live stream this year again on Patty’s day.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Excellent. I got my brisket thawing and going to start corning tomorrow.

      • Nephilium

        I’m planning on being out and about that day. I may get a chance to catch parts of it at one of the parties I’m planning on going to.

      • DEG

        Fuck.

        Live show.

        live streams are fucking sad.

      • Ownbestenemy

        They are…but I will take a free show any day.

      • Chipping Pioneer

        15 days to slow the spread

    • commodious spittoon

      Corned beef and creamy horseradish. That is a damn fine idea.

  6. Spudalicious

    Thanks for posting these, Swiss!

    • Tundra

      Seconded. I was looking for their steak on the coals video the other day, but my damaged brain couldn’t remember the site.

  7. DEG

    That looks delicious.

  8. Trigger Hippie

    Whatever happened to the Glibs cookbook idea? If you need more content, I’d be happy to submit my smoked turkey recipe.

    P.S. “Then drugs fell out of his ass.” needs to be printed up on some t-shirts, stat.

    • Rebel Scum

      Amazon/Ebay/etc. probably will not carry the Anarcho-Capitalist Cookbook…

      • Trigger Hippie

        Heh, well played.

    • Chipping Pioneer

      Dry brine or GTFO.

      • Trigger Hippie

        Only if the turkey is still a bit frozen when you began smoking it. If thawed, it turns out too dry for my tastes.

        Just my preference.

    bonus welding update

    Instructor: Looking good, son.

    Me: Thanks. Maybe I can get paid for this some day.

    Instructor: Heh. You will.

    I heard a good pipeline welder in Wyoming can make $6k a week. A few years of that, and I can be the next Dick Proenneke.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYJKd0rkKss

    I’d like to give the marriage and kids thing the old college try though. Seems like being a parent makes most people happier in the long run.

    • pistoffnick

      I loved the Dick Proenneke series

    • commodious spittoon

      One of the few lady steel detailers in the sister office quit to become an even rarer lady welder because the boys in the shop make so much more money than we lowly desk jockeys.

    • blackjack

      Welding is a great choice of career. Our welders make good money and have a far easier life than us lowly mechanics do. They don’t seem to get all the arthritis and hearing problems we get too.

      • commodious spittoon

        What?

      • blackjack

        I would suggest you cup your hand over your ear to hear better, but mine’s too messed up to pull that off.

      • commodious spittoon

        Dad always told me I need to take better care of my hearing but I figured nawww I’m only working construction a few years till I figure out what I want to do for real, don’t matter.

        Few years turned into ten and I’ve got permanent tinnitus.

      • commodious spittoon

        Also thinking about all the concrete, powderized gypboard, fiberglass strands, and whatever else I’ve inhaled because I never wanted to wear a mask.

      • blackjack

        Yeah, it’s easy to figure out what you shouldn’t have done. Trick is knowing it before it hurts you.

      • commodious spittoon

        One of the interns at the architect’s office sharing our building was wearing a dust mask for the rona. Where to start? A) you’re 20 or whatever and B) it’s a dust mask.

      • Trigger Hippie

        ‘I’ve got permanent tinnitus.’

        I feel you. That popped up for me a couple years ago. The first few months of it nearly drove me crazy. After doing some research I found that no longer taking pain pills like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, coupled with more natural foliage with anti inflammatory properties helped tremendously.

        Sure, it never truly goes away but, I’ve managed to keep it on the edge of perception, not screaming at me day and night like it used to.

    • Trigger Hippie

      Good for you, dude.

      Always happy to see people here ever growing, learning, and expanding.

  10. Gustave Lytton

    Watching TCM and their hosts are talking about the problematic film series, mentioned in one of the posts earlier today. Don’t agree with their premise on all aspects but full throated opposition to canceling or deleting historic movies and pretending they never existed. Good on them.

    • blackjack

      Dark days for liberty, right now. The shining beacon on the hill is getting rapidly tarnished. I just hope the backlash is strong and forthcoming. I can hope, right?

    • Rebel Scum
      • Chafed

        I can’t believe YouTube hasn’t taken those down.

  11. Scruffy Nerfherder

    I’m sitting and waiting on an email server duplication (so exciting!), so I’m browsing parts to go on my new bike frame.

    I am going to be so broke when I’m done with this bike.

  12. zwak

    At this point, due to the above-average number of fuckups, I will no longer be using any food delivery service.

    That is all.

    • slumbrew

      We’ve been making an effort to go pick up food more often in order to ensure the restaurants get all of the gratuity.

      I’ve done 40-minute round trip pickups twice in the last couple of weeks, which I never would have done before.

      • zwak

        Yeah, that is the new plan. Except for the place that delivers beer. But they haven’t fucked up yet.

      • zwak

        Aaannnd the food showed up two hours late. After I had canceled the order, gone and picked up Mexican, eaten it, and was thinking about a cocktail.

      • Trigger Hippie

        Six days ago I had a similar situation with Domino’s. They have their little online tracker system. It showed that my food was pulled from the oven at 2:10pm…it didn’t leave the store until after 3pm. I finally called around 3:30pm to see where my food was(the place is less than a mile away). Five minutes after I canceled my order the driver calls me letting me know he’s two minutes away. I told him to turn around and have slice on me because I’m not paying for that cheap, lukewarm bullshit.

      • Chafed

        That’s ridiculous. What was their explanation?

    • KSuellington

      If you are adding a lemon slice and cloves to that I like to poke the cloves through the lemon slice so they stay put and don’t get in your mouth.

  13. Timeloose

    Good lord. I’m tending to my pit bull who can’t handle other dogs in the house. He feels the need to hump all of them regardless of sex or temperament.

    • Brochettaward

      You’re dog is a Firster. you should be proud.

      • Rebel Scum

        it sounds like a bisexual rapist*.

        *Joking aside, it is about dominance.

    • blackjack

      Pit bulls are willfull and strong. Good luck with that.

  14. UnCivilServant

    Years ago I came to the conclusion that Zahi Hawass was an asshole.

    Now I’m trying to remember what prompted that conclusion.

    • Toxteth O'Grady

      Antiquities scandal?

      He taught a summer-school course I took. He was… brusque.

      • UnCivilServant

        That’s the wnnoying thing about not remembering, until that epiphany moment, I can’t be sure if I’m getting closer or not.

        At least listening to him reinforces the impression, and it’s not as bad as trying to remember an elusive word.

        His ego doesn’t help.

      • slumbrew

        You’re getting the Irish Alzheimer’s – you forget everything but the grudges.

      • UnCivilServant

        *adds slumbrew to the book of grudges*

    • Chipping Pioneer

      They are demonstrating why democracy is illegitimate.

    • Rebel Scum

      There is only one race: The Human Race.

      They are demonstrating why democracy is illegitimate.

      A sheep that was formerly acquainted with two wolves could not be reached for comment.

      “Those backing the measure say the publicly available data would allow for stronger engagement with voters of color and would make it easier for state and local elections officials to address racial inequity in voting access, the Statesman Journal reported Friday.”

      Especially the “engagement with voters of color” part.

      And to avoid the embarrassment and confusion of sending a “voter of color” a flyer meant for white voter, or vice versa.

      • Hank

        “Jenkins, you dolt, you’ve sent the voter-outreach mailings meant for the blacks to the asians, you’ve sent the mailings meant for the asians to the blacks, and you’ve sent the Spanish-language material to the Anglos. Let’s at least hope none of the Anglos understand Spanish.”

      • commodious spittoon

        “How do you say ‘I know you speak English’ in Spanish?!”

      • slumbrew

        Also would. But I detect a whole lot of “fuck you, Dad!”, which should be a warning.

      • slumbrew

        WTF, phone? This was for Chafed, re: Rudy’s daughter

      • commodious spittoon

        Hey, I mean, as long as you’re here.

        A warning good times are ahead!

    • blackjack

      I expected a segment from a show, like Tim Conway Jr.’s ” What did Jesse Jackson say?”

    • Ownbestenemy

      Is that an actual question?

    • commodious spittoon

      She’s Lucille Bluth without the warmth or charm.

      • slumbrew

        I mean it’s one banana, Michael – how much could it cost? Ten dollars?

      • commodious spittoon

        I’ll leave when I’m good and ready.

      • rhywun

        Good Lord, Nancy is her.

      • Trigger Hippie

        Ha!

        Reminds of one of my favorite insults:

        “I’d call you a cunt but you clearly lack the warmth or depth.”

      • Chafed

        What a perfect description.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Open sesame? Fuck Pelosi and her cultural appropriation, yo.

    • Chafed

      That’s got to be some sort of fake.

      • KSuellington

        Isn’t it nice that we are about to enter the era when any video can be faked extremely well. It will certainly make for some interesting times.

      • KSuellington

        The ones that they have done of Bill Hader are pretty awesome. I’ve shown different ones to people that don’t know him and they haven’t quite noticed.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPhUhypV27w

      • pan fried wylie

        I dont follow. Are you saying Bill Hader never had that interview with Conan? Obviously he never looked like Arnold for 5mins, that part wasn’t real, but the conversation seemed real enough.

      Thank you for clarifying that you were referring to a mixed adult beverage.

    • commodious spittoon

      Threesomes make me a better person.

      A threesome is when you hang out with more than one person, right? I hate chatting with people one on one. I like having a person to deflect to. I like being a listener a whole lot better than being participant. I love threesomes. I want to have threesomes all the time. If I were dating or married, I’d want my wife to be in a threesome.

      • slumbrew

        I’m pretty sure you are correct with all of that.

        You should bring up your love of threesomes on your next date.

      • Chafed

        Commodious spitoon = confirmed bottom.

      • commodious spittoon

        You bunch of neanderthals, I’m talking about a proper threesome with another woman or man who’s interested in some civil intercourse.

      • slumbrew

        *googles “proper threesome”*

      • slumbrew

        I’ve seen a number of documentaries about couples bringing in a third. It seems to usually be the wife’s choice and the husbands aren’t that happy about it.

        For some reason, the documentaries always seem to feature black fellas as the third. That seems statistically improbable.

      • commodious spittoon

        I don’t understand why a black man can’t enjoy decent intercourse with a white fella or, you know, vice versa

      • Chafed

        Um, I don’t think Pornhub has documentaries.

    • Hank

      Sad to see her disregarding the moral example of her Dad.

      • Festus

        Yeah, that sort of behavior is learned. Also would in an alternate timeline…

    • Sean

      Nice

    • hayeksplosives

      LOL.

      No doubt. Didn’t even have to Cosby her drink.

    • KSuellington

      My wife was watching American Idol last week and he was on it, looking highly shaped by clay. Plastic surgery is a hellava drug. I got a free couple tickets a few years back to see him play at the end of an outdoor festival here. He was great. He claimed he was going to play his entire new album and then laughed and said that’s not what you want to hear, you want the songs you know and love. He then rocked every Lionel hit. Fun times.

      • Chafed

        Smart man. He knows what his audience wants.

      • hayeksplosives

        Yup.

        Everyone cringes a little when the “new stuff” is announced.

        The absolute worst are Christian “pop/rock” bands leading worship songs in church. It’s supposed to be leading the congregation in singing songs they know, not a concert in front of a captive audience, you self-centered jerk.

        P.S.: you’re not going to get “discovered” at this 100 person church. Just lead the people and take your $400 check.

      • Festus

        I saw Neil Young when he was refusing to play old songs, but he was pretty vocal about it so we knew what we were going to get, he did end up doing After the Gold Rush and then Joe Walsh showed up and they did Tonight’s the Night for an extended jam encore thing, it wasn’t too bad.

      • Festus

        One of my fave Neil tunes!

  16. Festus

    Well it finally happened. My Levi’s split along the seam right at the crotch. I’ve been subbing out two pair for work purposes and they have lasted many years. Having the dangle is less then desirable. Any suggestions for a non woke company? I hear that Wranglers are ok but dammit, Levi’s fit my butt!

    • limey

      Morning, Fes. What did Levi’s do? I too have a Levi’s butt and may just continue in ignorance to rely on them.

      • Sean

        At a minimum, they weighed in on gun control and told people to not bring concealed pistols to their stores.

        I haven’t purchased any new Levis since, but I already have a closet full of them.

        I’ve got about six pair of many and varied that Judi keeps buying for me that I’ve never tried on. “They were on sale!”

    Kyrsten Sinema owns hooker boots, a crazy made-up name and is bi-sexual. I think I’ve found my favorite politician. I’d ask her to keep the glasses on! Chubby arms, though. That doesn’t bode well for the future…
