The Sword of Power

by | Jul 10, 2021 | Beer, Entertainment, Film, Food & Drink | 227 comments

Another re-boot to look forward to hatin?  When I heard about it, I immediately decided I needed to know more.

This is my review of Anchorage Brewing Company An Eternity Saison:

What is being remade?  The Masters of the Universe (aka He-Man).  Before I get into this, I am obligated to show you this video here, if you have no idea what this show is about.

Done?  Hopefully, that clears things up.

This reboot is coming to Netflix and is a project headed by none other than Kevin Smith.  You know, the guy that made Clerks.  For some reason the assumption is the reboot is going to be a woke version of the 80’s cartoon featuring a ridiculously muscle-bound white guy with blond hair, that calls himself “He-Man”.  Also…Kevin Smith never liked the show.

What a perfect character for the woke brigade to ruin!

Kevin Smith did respond on Twitter to the accusations he is going to screw up the show by making it woke:


So yes…its woke.

Then again this is the guy that made Clerks.  This is a movie that defined the early 90’s and the malaise Gen X imposed upon itself; turning them into an afterthought between cringey Boomers and airhead Millennials.  The tale of Dante being a pushover living in his parent’s house, and being forced to open the convenience store and work on his day off has humor that still manages to transcend today’s version of morality.  By transcend, I mean offend.  What would be out of taste today?  The girlfriend fellating 37 guys, the ex-girlfriend sleeping with a corpse, a convenience store not stocking hubcaps, hermaphrodite porn, or playing hockey on the roof?  There’s even an alternate ending where Dante is killed in a robbery.

They even made fun of people putting eggs through a series of endurance tests in order to find the perfect dozen.  No mixing and matching is allowed.  Is it possible the reboot won’t suck?

Probably not, after all the original sucked.

 

Another saison, ruined by some oddball fruit they decided to toss in?    Its worse than that because Marionberries happen to be the result of a Oregon State GMO project from 1945 that cross-pollinated two species of blackberries in order to produce a strain of berry that is more survivable yet retains the delicious qualities of the other.  The result is the abominable circumstance that only happens when man plays God.  And quite frankly like He-Man…it worked out. Anchorage Brewing Company An Eternity Saison: 3.8/5

    I don’t like Saisons

    I liked Clerks

    Kevin smith got annoying a while back

    • Ownbestenemy

      That is what happens when the fat kid, who had thick skin and learned to navigate the world with wit, gets skinny and no longer can muster the wit.

      • Tundra

        That explains Penn Jillette.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I think it is a valid explanation. Jillette, Smith, the fat kid from Superbad, Jerry O’Connell

        I think a study should be done

      • ignoreLander

        Chunk from Goonies ended up a big-time Hollywood entertainment lawyer. Just sayin’….

      • mrfamous

        I still have my wit. I refuse to be this stereotype.

      • PieInTheSky

        I honestly think he ran out of ideas and now tries to compensate

      • Ownbestenemy

        True. Can’t make fun of millennials, all the good stories about GenX would just be rehashes, and GenZ don’t watch movies, only youtube and Tiktok videos.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        This was obvious the third time I watched another director’s version of Bruce Wayne falling down a well.

        Sadly they’re probably filming the sixth or seventh now.

    • Not Adahn

      I liked most of his films.

      But holy fuck, could Kevin Smith please keep his sexual hangups out of his films? Or maybe dial them back to Tarantino-foot fetish level?

  2. Yusef drives a Kia

    Marionberry works well in Sours, He Man is still Ghey……

  3. Ownbestenemy

    I just assumed all cartoons of this nature was the first attempt by the SF Gay Choir on coming for our kids

  4. The Late P Brooks

    Sounds awful.

    *apply as needed

  5. Tundra

    Your’e a man for all saisons.

    Thanks for the review!

    • Spudalicious

      You’re going to get a lot of booze for that one.

  6. Gustave Lytton

    Fuck you MS. Marionberries are gift from the heavens and no bitch set that up.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Huh. Honestly, I thought I’d get this reaction by the shot I took at Xers, or focusing on the aspie endurance tests for the ideal dozen eggs.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Lets be real, no fewer than three people here open up multiple cartons and put them all back in reverse order from which they took them out of the cooler before settling on one somewhere on the bottom of the cooler because they were satisfied with the shape and consistency of the dozen they selected.

      • Ownbestenemy

        And? If I am paying 1.00 for a dozen eggs they will meet my standards!

      • hayeksplosives

        While I was reading this section, Mr Splosives was making his brunch which included a fried egg. He remarked, unprompted, that these Kirkland (Costco brand) eggs have fragile shells and that the yolks break easily. He said they’re inferior.

        I stifled a laugh.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Where are you paying $1 for a dozen eggs? Either you have a chicken coop or you own a time machine.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Las Vegas…ranges in price from .89 to 1.29 so average. We dont get the cage-free coddled chicken eggs. Just plain ol eggs.

        Plus they typically have rewards so a free dozen.

        We usually have 2-3 dozen eggs on hand that last us a week or so cause of the garbage pit that is two 16 year olds.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Now that I think about it, I have no idea what a dozen eggs costs. I buy a flat of 30 each week and assumed it went up proportionally with everything else.

        I rescind my statement.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Also same here. We try to find a massive amount and when figured in, it’s like $.08/egg

      • Old Man With Candy

        We noticed when we moved here that eggs are remarkably expensive. In IL, we usually paid $0.80-1.00 per dozen.

      • ignoreLander

        On sale for .88 this week, with “club card” at Kroger. The only reason I open them up and check is i have had as many as 4 broken in the carton if I’m not careful.

      • rhywun

        If by “shape and consistency” you mean “not broken” then guilty as charged.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Hell yes I do. If I’m going to catch flack from my wife on the eggs, they sure as shit won’t be broken. About every other week I catch a broken egg in the top carton.

        And most eggs here lack the proper red carotenoids in the chickens’ diet. Eggs shouldn’t be sold with a DSM YolkFan score of less than 16. 7 as an ideal is a travesty.

      • Tonio

        [Googles “DSM Yolk Fan,” nods approvingly. Holds up “Nerds” sign.]

      • robc

        Last week I had to open 7 to find an unbroken dozen. I was about to start sorting all the broken to a single dozen but found a good dozen.

      • zwak

        Oregon resident confirmed.

    • Not Adahn

      Stewart’s has a marionberry ice cream. It’s tasty.

    • Old Man With Candy

      We have marionberries soaked in brandy, Gift from RAHeinlein & crew.

  7. Urthona

    Kevin Smith doesn’t strike me as a particularly woke guy but I’ve been wrong before.

    He-man was a marketing gimmick created on the spot in a sales meeting to compete with the Star Wars actions figures major Toy companies passed on. A tiny toy company that license Star Wars was kicking their ass.

    It was popular for about a year and then tanked because the company didn’t produce enough of the good action figures.

    There is no backstory to the universe at all. It’s just some bullshit because sales guys had promised there would be a tv show.

    • Nephilium

      The Netflix documentary show The Toys that Made Us had an entire episode around the He-Man toys.

      • Urthona

        Yup.

      • Urthona

        In a way, that might be good. He could do whatever he wants with the “universe”. It’s all bullshit.

    • Gustave Lytton

      General Mills’ subsidiary Kenner was hardly a tiny toy company.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      So basically the same reason we have Transformers.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I would have assumed GoBots.

      • DrOtto

        The Kmart of Transformers.

      • Chafed

        Lol

    • hayeksplosives

      He-Man had a sister named She-Ra, but she didn’t have a whole cartoon series built up around her.

      However, the doll makers (they were muscle-bound tough gals but still had brushable hair and fabric skirts, so I say Doll, not Action Figure) did a much better job of making a range of the dolls with interesting backstories for all of them. They had books and other stuff to make money on them.

      My sister and I took it a step further and made up a planet with continents and countries so each character was the leader of her country and they’d plot alliances and invasions etc. The maps we drew were pretty cool.

      Yes, we were nerds.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Nerds that went on to rule industries. Therefore, questionable action figures and dolls were the spark of ingenuity of our generation.

      • hayeksplosives

        There is probably something to that.

        We had no interest in Teela or any of the He-Man range and even then thought the cartoon was stupid. But we liked Catra and Glimmeria and Castaspella (we renamed her since that was a terrible moniker) and the other dolls they produced for girls.

        They weren’t even pushing a “woke” message. They just made a bunch of dolls that were all female (muscles but still feminine), so naturally in our fake planet, the women were the leaders.

        Nowadays they’d be so heavy handed with “powerful girl” messaging it would be a condescending turn-off.

      • Chafed

        Captain Marvel approvingly nods.

      • Nephilium

        There was a She-Ra series back in the day, and it got rebooted before He-Man.

      • hayeksplosives

        Huh. I had no idea. Never saw it.

      • Grumbletarian

        Uh, there was a 2002 reboot of Masters of the Universe. They actually did a lot of backstory, like how Skeletor came to be. It was considerably better than the original.

    • zwak

      I have no idea whether or not Smith is Wolk, he is a pretty serious Catholic after all and they can go both ways. But, if you want to get anything made by any sort studio that will market it outside of Christian avenues, then you need to at least act Wolk.

  8. Nephilium

    I’m a huge fan of saisons, they’re a lovely versatile style that can be tweaked based on what’s available and personal preference.

    • PieInTheSky

      nothing good comes from Belgium.

      • Not Adahn

        Other than chocolate, fried potatoes, waffles and holy beer.

      • PieInTheSky

        chocolate? neah. fried potatoes – overrated. waffles – pass. beer -pass

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        I take back what I said the other day. Moj and I don’t have opposing palates. You and I do.

      • Mojeaux

        *looks at great grandfather*

        I see no lie.

      • Not Adahn

        I really want that mag design reworked for other pistol calibers.

        But as far as FN products go, FAL > P90

      • PieInTheSky

        guns are bad not good

      • Suthenboy

        I had to go to the pharmacy yesterday. The gentleman at the register and the fellow two people behind him were wearing pistols. That made me nervous so I tapped my right arm against my side to make sure I was wearing mine.

        Kidding…it didn’t make me nervous. It made me feel safe. People here are very polite.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Blumhouse Productions has been putting out some good stuff lately.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Er…wrong spot for this. Oh well.

      • PieInTheSky

        is open carry legal there?

      • Not Adahn

        It’s legal almost everywhere it isn’t banned.

      • PieInTheSky

        amazing

      • Suthenboy

        Yes, and constitutional carry will soon be legal…actually it is already but soon the state will stop violating it.

      • robc

        Ky has constitutional open carry, but concealed requires permit.

      • Sean

        I’m not really a fan of it for me personally, but I approve of anyone who wants to do so.

      • Gustave Lytton

        The limp pasta handles keep me from buying it. Also, full auto should be available for unrestricted OTS sale.

        You are WRONG! They make some of the best beer in the world. Also, chocolate, beer and mussels, hare and waffles to die for.

        You Balkans people need to up your taste games.

  9. Not Adahn

    I have read (on the internet so it must be true) that Teela is going to be the main character.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      NO SPOILERS…ah screw it. Yes, the rumor is Skeletor somehow defeats He-Man, obtains the sword of power, puts Adam into a dungeon, and the rest of the crew have to fight “Skelegod” and rescue Adam.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Sounds like he is remaking Xena: Warrior Princess

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Why would they do that, the characters are already gay?

      • Not Adahn

        *golf clap*

  10. rhywun

    They’re really scraping the bottom of the nostalgia barrel, aren’t they. “He-Man” was terrible.

    • Suthenboy

      Last night wife and I watched ‘Dont let go’.

      https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6803212/

      Engaging, original plot, characters etc. That is something sorely missing in Hollywood today. It was relatively low-budget but well worth the time. Much better than another multi-billion dollar ‘ Super hero #147′ formulaic POS’.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Blumhouse Productions has been putting out some fun movies lately. There, in the right spot now!

  11. UnCivilServant

    OT – L0b0t, I’m not sure I’d want to give up the Kommandos from the Kill Team box now that I’m seeing what’s in the preview.

    But I’m definately loving the plastic Kriegers.

    • UnCivilServant

      Dammit. They did an Ork commercial and it still hurts to laugh.

      • robc

        Orcs make superb orcs.

        /really obscure reference

    • l0b0t

      Agreed. I would be up for it if ya want, but I would be happy having all of them as well. The Krieg look nice. My guard forces are largely comprised of the old Rogue Trader plastic guard. Has the Guard suffered the stupid scale creep that makes old Orks and Marines look puny next to modern castings?

      • UnCivilServant

        The lack of new Guard releases means they didn’t have much chance to change size.

    • Ownbestenemy

      #2 looks like it can handle your business at hand.

      • Suthenboy

        Yep. It Is for a Win. ’94 with a 24″ barrel. That is a real sledge hammer.

      • hayeksplosives

        Oh FFS.

        I’m glad this particular pair is done making copies of their DNA, but in general I can’t get enthusiastic about the West committing cultural suicide. Especially for such an asinine “reason”

      • leon

        Would Nikki donate to this, or is two, two too many?

      • Suthenboy

        Who? Oh, oh, that bunch. I will give them an award for limiting their reproduction.

        We shot as many of those bastards as we could when we had the chance. Now they are back over here? Dammit.

    • Animal

      Bear in mind that there really is no wrong answer here.

      • Suthenboy

        I am going with #2. There won’t even be an oink. They will drop in their tracks.

      • Animal

        Hmm. I’ve always wanted to try going after feral hogs, just for fun. Not too many of them up here in the Great Land.

    • PieInTheSky

      why not leave the bullet making to the pros? they got families to feed.

      • Suthenboy

        “why not leave the bullet making to the pros?”

        That is exactly what I am doing.

      • PieInTheSky

        do you even have a bullet making license? are you part of the bullet makers union?

      • Ownbestenemy

        I would suspect he is part of the FOAD Chapter 12, Southern Region of MYOB.

  12. hayeksplosives

    I’m currently reading a book Savage Continent about the immediate aftermath of WWII before reconstruction and Marshall Plan etc.

    Not a cheery read, but a good one.

    I had no idea the Nazis has systematically destroyed Warsaw’s great buildings in late 1944 purely as punishment for the Warsaw uprising. The war was lost but Germany spent a lot of time and weaponry on razing the place to the ground.

    The wiping out of whole families or villages, or of all men from certain places takes on new meaning when retold by the people who experienced it.

    • Suthenboy

      Fuckin’ Europe. The horrors of what happened there during and after the war…words fail me. They have a zillion cultures and languages all jostling elbows with each other on a tiny bit of dirt. Hell, the biggest countries there are smaller than Texas. We have counties with empty land bigger than most of their countries.

      This guy produced some great stuff but these are softballs. Some of the stuff he captured of what was done to the Germans as revenge is beyond nightmare territory.

      https://mymodernmet.com/piergiorgio-branzi-italian-photographer/

      • PieInTheSky

        and old Romania was generally fucked through history. Many of the wars between Poland when it was strong in the time of Sobieski and Russia and the Ottomans and the Habsburgs were fought here because we were in the way. Then two world wars and communism… Although after the second probably areas of Germany and Poland and stuff were worse hit than us. but eh it is all in the past.

      • Suthenboy

        Yep, you are in the way between east and west, Ottoman and Christian. More blood has been spilt in your neck of the woods than nearly anywhere on earth.

      • The Last American Hero

        Not to mention the undead running loose in the villages at night.

      • Suthenboy

        I will take the cardboard cut out, flat undead characters over the living any day. They are a serious step down on the evil scale.

      • Suthenboy

        Oh, my wife is a big fan of fantasy/scifi stuff. Just for fun I made a batch of silver bullets for her so I am stocked up and prepared for the undead.

      • Ownbestenemy

        That’s werewolves, the undead don’t care about silver bullets.

      • hayeksplosives

        The book has an entire chapter on the rape of millions of women, mostly by the Soviet army, with many women being raped until their backs broke from the aggressive force used on them day after day by dozens of soldiers.

        Apparently Bulgaria was largely spared because it had mostly good relations with the USSR, but Romania got “punished” for still being at war with the USSR.

        Seems more than unfair to rape women for the sins of their national leaders but that particular quibble didn’t prevent it from happening.

      • Not an Economist

        The Germans raped, murdered, and pillaged their way across Russia so a lot of what the Russians did was payback. I’m not sure the Russians would have done it if the Germans hadn’t done it first.

      • hayeksplosives

        I get that it was “payback” and a deterrent for the future, but the German soldiers didn’t get the punishment, the women did.

        Just chalk it up to the “War is Hell” basic truth.

        And another reason to avoid war when reasonably possible.

      • TARDis

        Which is why I get pissed at my naivete when I believed that when women entered the halls of power, this shit would stop. Nope. The women in power are safe, and no need to worry about their sons and daughters. To hell with everyone else, they’re expendable. I guess it’s not the same as actual war though. These are just “conflicts” that require “kinetic action”. What’s the combat death rate for our troops for the last 20 years compared to Vietnam, Korea, and WWII? Pretty good, eh? We can keep this up until we run out of money.

        When the Chinese invade us in real war, will the ladies still be safe? I think not. I should be dead by then, so DGAF.

      • Loveconstitution1789

        Remember, russians raped and murdered innocent afghans. The commies are evil fucks.

      • Loveconstitution1789

        The German war with Russia had all sorts of atrocities and rape happened alot. Most german didnt want to have sex with Russian invaders in 1945 but quite a few USSR women had consenual sex with german soldiers. There is a lot of blonde hair and blue eyes in eastern europe because of WWII.

        In 1939-1941, Russians did horrible things to poles in eastern poland after russia took that land as part of MR pact. Katyn forest is one example.

        Ukraine wanted to side with germany against Stalin and even provided tens of thousands of troops for the waffen SS.

        Romania sided with germany and was a point of invasion into the USSR in 1941.

        Bulgaria was dragged reluntantly into WWII but never declared war on the USSR nor sent troops to fight on the Eastern Front. Russia treated Bulgaria differently but there has been a Bulgaria-Russia friendship since the time of the Czars. Russia wanted ship access to the mediterranean and Bulgaria was their ticket.

  13. Cy Esquire

    I used to somewhat follow Kevin Smith, he’s definitely gone woke. Not to the point of being over the top, I think it was more of a self preservation woke. His recent movies have been terrible, but they were also supposed to be terrible.

      • Chafed

        Why is it purposely bad?

      • Ownbestenemy

        Fans wanted more J&SB and I think Kevin didnt bout money talks so ti me it was written to kill the whole series, even making fun of what a retread or a reboot or a remake is.

    AZ’s deserts are behind us, Old Man! We’re sorry we missed you, but if you need a stopover en route to NY, lemme know.
    I sweated like crazy in the humidity here in Olathe, KS, while I was mowing the lawn this morning. I live next door to the HOA prez, so I felt obligated to get things tidy. (She’s very nice and her kids match our kids’ ages).
    The neighbors have come by in waves to welcome us, chat us up, and just be friendly as hell. It’s amazing. We live on a dead-end and the whole HOA is only 32 houses, so it’s really more of a cul-de-sac association than anything.
    It appears I will have to learn to drink beer again, so maybe I’ll have to pay attention to the beer review portion of these reviews, rather than the other portions.
    Cheers, Glibbies!

    CNN medical contributor Dr. Leana Wen suggested Saturday that life needs to be “hard” for Americans who have not received a COVID-19 vaccine and individuals who refuse to get shots should perhaps face weekly testings.

    “It needs to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated,” Wen, the former Planned Parenthood president, said. “Right now, it’s kind of the opposite.”

    Unvaccinated people, she fretted, can at the moment go about their lives as normal without any consequence.

    “But at some point these mandates, by workplaces, by schools, I think it will be important to say, ‘Hey, you can opt out, but if you want to opt out, you have to sign these forms, you have to get twice weekly testing,’” Wen said. “Basically, we need to make getting vaccinated the easy choice.”

    Presumably this is a doctor (MD, not the Jill Biden kind) who has had training in medical ethics. Oh, wait! Never mind. I see she was formerly head of Planned Parenthood… and me, bringing up ethics. LOL. Whoops. ?

      Why do I get the feeling this lady’s house is covered wall to wall in dirty laundry, food wrappers, and random items her cat dragged in?

    • Desk Jockey

      I switched jobs back in May from a massive international company to a local place with a couple shops. Went to the interview with mask in my pocket (mandate was still on for the city we are in) and not one person had one on. Owners both made it a point to shake hands and say they were done with any sort of rona rules. Sealed the deal for me.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Ignore no soliciting signs. You’re not soliciting! You’re offering critical information and resources. What you are doing is not illegal.

      I’m no lawyer but I’m pretty sure tresspassing is illegal.

    • Sean

      It’s trespassing and possibly harassment.

      I’ll straight up call the cops.

        See post above about preferred molds for casting… In this case, I prefer #1 over #2. Our guys swore by it in the banana wars. ?

      • Suthenboy

        Really? It’s a tough call.

        The gas check is what sealed the deal for me. With a gas check you can load it up as hot as you want.

      • Ozymandias

        Personal preference. I love me the 1911A1 – and those subsonic bricks it fires are just… *mwah* (chef’s kiss).
        Something gets hit with that, it knows it’s been hit.

      • Ozymandias

        No dispute from me. I just always associate the .44 mag with Dirty Harry’s revolver and I much prefer that sexy, semi-auto .45.
        Plus, I once fired a Thompson sub-MG at a friend’s range, with the cylinder magazine… and it is the shiznit!
        Now that I mention it… might be time to look into Auto-Ordnance and see what they’ve got…unmodified.

    • Suthenboy

      Gators gotta eat too.

      • Sean

        I don’t have access to gators.

        I do however have local, bored cops and our HOA is posted as private property.

      • Ozymandias

        Wasn’t that also true of the guy-gal attorney couple who “brandished” their non-working weapons in Illinois? Wasn’t that whole HOA private property and people just busted in anyway?

      • mexican sharpshooter

        IIRC it was in St. Louis but your point remains.

      • Sean

        Sounds familiar.

        Different political climate here though.

        Also, we have at least 3 cops living here and I’m fairly sure they won’t wanna be hassled either.

      I fucking knew they would keep track of who was “naughty” and “nice,” too.
      It’s right there in their govt provided sheets – keep a list of the wrongthinkers.
      Fuck. These. MotherFuckers.

        I like Tucker. Watching Fox News channel has been banned here since November though.

      • Ozymandias

        And the first to point out Holmes’ godawful decision on forced sterilizations, which directly relied upon the Jacobson vaccine decision as precedent.
        No one is asking – not a single fucking lawyer, except me, evidently – is asking if the Jacobson and Buck precedents can be seriously claimed to have survived the Nuremburg Code.
        Fucking statist, cocksucking morons, every last one of them. I hope they all get syphilis.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Carlson is right. The government is gearing up. The more resistance they feel, the less threat COVID poses, the more extreme their proposals have gotten.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Carlson is willing to tread in No Man’s Land. For that reason alone we should be supporting him.

        That and the fact that the government hates him.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Yeah this has really ramped up and it is a test of the old American spirit and I don’t have much faith of a pushback.

    • Animal

      I doubt they’ll ever come way out here, but if they do, my reply will be “you’ve got ten seconds to get off my property.” Then I start counting down, at a shout, “TEN, NINE, EIGHT…” I’ve done this with door-to-door solicitors before.

      Fun part is that now, given the length of our driveway, they’ll have to run like hell to make it.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Reminds of this

        I liked that movie. Love the bit in the general store/lunch counter, where an aging Robert Duvall kicks the shit out of four punk teenagers.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Honestly such a great movie to have young boys on the cusp of young men to watch.

      • The Bearded Hobbit

        Dad would tell them, “You’re just in time for the race!”

        “Race?”

        “Yeah! You get to race for the property line and I get to race for my gun!”

    • ignoreLander

      I guess what I really want to ask is, if any of y’all see a place where we can track where they are, please share it. I need to know when they’re here for various reasons, but cannot be home all day, every day….

    “It needs to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated,” Wen, the former Planned Parenthood president, said. “Right now, it’s kind of the opposite.”

    Being hung from a lamppost is too good for people like this. They should be flayed alive and then burned at the stake.

    I don’t know what to have for dinner. I have nothing ready to grill. ?

      • Sean

        I have no steak to put on top.

      • Sean

        I’m gonna serve the burgers on top of greens and top with dressing and crunchies.

    • UnCivilServant

      Sorry to hear that.

      I know what I’m having for dinner, but it’s because I’m not getting new groceries until tomorrow, so I’ve got limited options.

      • Sean

        Hrm…I got a box of Bubba burgers with a use by date this month.

        No prep needed. I guess the mystery is over.

    • hayeksplosives

      I’m going to leave it in the hands of the local Moose Lodge. Supposed to be steak tonight.

      That frees me up this afternoon to work on my resume. I’m going to tone down references to being a manager and just emphasize being an engineer. It’s what I want to do anyway.

      • Lackadaisical

        Surprised to hear you’re looking.

        What happened?

      • hayeksplosives

        I’ve come to the conclusion that the company culture is so thoroughly effed that there’s no hope for it without a complete purge at the top, and I don’t know who will be able to do that. The internal squabbling and blamelaying is already starting.

        They’ve completely lost sight of the most important thing we are doing: Meeting the customers’ needs.

        Also, I’d rather do less of the “manager” thing and get back to more of the “engineer” thing.

        Also, California.

    In local news, whilst doing field work, as in practice, I hit a big tee shot, and was swarmed by a bunch of 10-11 year old kids, asking questions and seeing the pretty discs, then they asked and I let them grab whatever they wanted to throw and off they went. they retrieved the discs and then I proceeded to teach them some basics and get them interested for real, great response, they were thrilled to learn and get better instantly. I wrote a note on my business card for the 12 year old girl to give to mum, then gave them all a new disc, nice discs not crap. That’s how local Disc golf works,

    So I’m in a situation I have not been in more than 30 years. I am literally all alone for the next 3 days or so. No wife, no kids, no pets. Weird. I should figure out what to have for dinner before I get drunk.

    • Ownbestenemy

      No no no…you figure out what to eat after you are drunk. Be free!

      Start drinking.

        That could be the plan.

        It’s my own fault I didn’t take any meat out of the freezer. I told my wife I would be going to the brew house and having dinner there, but now I can’t be arsed to put on clothes.

        Oh look, pizza rolls!

    Turn off lights
    Turn off pool pumps
    Unplug appliances not in use
    Avoid using large electrical appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines and electric clothes dryers
    Adjust the thermostat to 78 degrees or higher to reduce the use of air conditioning during this time, and use ceiling fans to cool people and pets. Pre-cool your home prior to 6 p.m.
    Keep the refrigerator and freezer closed as much as possible
    Close window coverings to keep the heat out
    Do not charge electric vehicles between 6 and 9 p.m.

      Also…maybe we shouldn’t sell over half the energy generated from Hoover damn to California.

      California at this moment is eating all the resources in the west….water, electricity, etc.
