Even the rats are drunk.
There’s a Glibertarian shindig going down in the Southwest. I just received some photos, so while we look at links, you can guess which Glib is in the picture.
Glib #1. Needs it dark to sleep.
This is my shocked face. And people wonder why we haven’t cured the common cold?
Glib #2 is actually in the rabbit suit.
The foxes are now established and breeding in the hen house.
Pay attention to the beard when you try and guess this one.
Coming to a Reddit subforum near you.
C’mon. This one should be obvious.
There was no indication what was climbed to be fallen off of, but the money right now is on the balcony.
Is there a birthday this weekend?
I believe Brett is still in Florida, so it’s plausible.
Seems appropriate.
No one here but us chickens.
That reminded me of this
https://youtu.be/rT4UmxqoFt4
It reminded me of Rush’s Snakes and Arrows tour. They had a wall of rotisseries with chickens spinning behind them. Like where the Marshall stacks would normally be. They had a guy with a white lab coat come out and baste them every once in a while, too.
That was an AWESOME concert!
A whole aidience full of middle-aged fat folk dragging their teenage kids.
Haha right, a woman went to a Rush concert. Next you’ll be telling me there’s women who are libertarian.
Speaking of Rush….

You left the ’09 timestamp on the trash can pic. Pretty sure it wasn’t from this weekend. Just a guess…
That’s how I roll on the weekends, blackjack.
Look, after time travelling, it’s hard to remember to reset the internal clock on the camera.
I don’t think the AZ Glibs can bring the filth like we did last night. I bet they’re all sipping wine, talking about the political economic demographics of modern-day Albania or some shit.
I missed it! Call the waaaaaaaahhhhhhmbulance.
It wasn’t much – we talked about someone’s previous career in a call center, Tonio’s cold-water gear, the benefits of a Camelbak, and my retirement plans
And you can bring the filth from such innocuous fare?
I’m not worthy!
Every one of those is a euphemism. Oh! Another guessing game!
Yeah, I saw you say what kind of “call center” you were talking about! ; )
LOL
(yes, this is negging straight out of the PUA playbook)
You are my hero.

Off for an afternoon sail. The Buffalo Trace went down well so it is in my sailing flask- of course for medicinal purposes.
“Bien sûr, m’sieu.”
That sounds magnificent.
West African Citrus Spice is the shizzle on roast chicken, y’all:
https://silkroadspices.ca/collections/spice-blends/products/west-african-citrus-spice
There is such a thing called Suya in Nigeria. Every decent beer joint has a suya guy who will make it for you and bring it to your table wrapped in a filthy old newspaper. You eat it with toothpicks along with some red onion and tomato. You never knew in the morning if it was the stale Star beer you were drinking or the suya that gave you the shits. It took years of experimentation for me to come close but I think I got it down. Your link reminded me I need to make that again. I made a pot of hot and sour soup (Heavy on pork and shitakes) today and have gorged myself to a satiated bloat.
Ok, what’s with the (((Rabbit)))?
Well, at least it’s not Welsh “Rabbit” (as my Mom used to call it). That stuff’s gross.
What gross about open-faced grilled cheese sammiches?
I’ll dig my Mom up and get her to make one for you. You’ll see.
And then you’ll beg God for a swift and merciful death.
(Sorry, Mom, but you sucked at making Welsh Rarebit.)
We had some leftover cuts of roast beef the other day, and I remembered one of my favorite dishes from childhood to make with it, something I used to love but can’t remember the last time I had it, easily over 40 years ago. Hot open face roast beef sandwiches, a middle class Midwestern classic. Make some toast and cook up brown gravy to piping hot. Put two pieces of toast on a plate, cover with roast beef slices, smother everything with hot gravy. Eat with a knife and fork. Declasse perhaps, but great comfort food that leaves you with a warm full tummy.
You forgot the mashed potatoes, also swimming in that brown gravy. We ate that for school lunches once a week, at home once a week with venison. Small town Midwest restaurants are still serving that, with bread rather than toast.
My mom called that “Shit on a Shingle”
Did she wear army boots?
I haven’t had that in years, but memories are flooding back of eating it as a kid.
Tried some Welsh Rarebit in Cardiff – was pretty delicious.
I;m guessing he’s not Welsh, anyhoo
eh, crap. Late to the table.
Its so peaceful when my teens hide out in their rooms….they need to go away
“You want to runaway? Here’s your passport, a backpack full of stuff, and $300. Let’s see how far you make it”.
Some schools actually run that scenario. At least, when I was a kid we did. How far can you travel with $500. I think some of the goals were to find travel, lodging, food, etc. Most of us made our way to Europe, had fun, and couldn’t travel home.
That’s when you really hope your parents’ statements about how much they love you were actually true.
When I was 17 I was smitten by some Canadian punk rawk chick I met when I went to Montreal. I had all the details planned out to drive from SoCal and go see her again. My parents quickly put the thumb on that.
Parents….ugh!!
I know some people who, when they were teens, actually did that. Their parents let ’em twist in the wind for a few days/weeks before they finally agreed to buy ’em a plane ticket home. Good way to develop humility at that age.
Both our 16 year olds have said they want to move out right away. We have been giving them a dose of reality such as help pay for electricity, water, gas, internet, rent.
We aren’t going to do that until they graduate. I feel it’s only fair to give them a little bit of a head start. We are not, however, shy about how much things cost.
My 16 YO son was going to hitch hike from Central TX to NJ to visit his cousins, etc. 1st Day was hot and not much rides, 2nd was raining, spent the night in a cornfield, a lot of walking. Finally bought a bus ticket, spent many hours on the bus, etc. After a few days (fish and relatives) everyone agreed he should go home, he borrowed plane ticket money from his uncle (“My dad will send you the money”). I had to pick him up in Dallas (3 hours to Love Field), got into an argument with a moonie girl in the terminal, a crowd gathered, all on my side. 3 hour drive again.
His uncle was a really nice guy and I sent him back his money. That ended the exploring part until he was in college. At least he was sort of paying his way at that time.
Chewing on a little problem I might or might not have come Tuesday. So my kid starts her internship with Cerner Tuesday. She is on campus 3 days a week and virtual the other 2. She doesn’t drive, so I will have to take her and bring her home, but it’s far enough away from home that I’m not going to make that round trip twice a day 3x a week for the next 4 months. Fortunately, it’s not for 8 hours, just 3.5.
What I used to do pre-gummint shutdown was go to a library to work, with just me and my laptop. No distractions of children, hobbies, or cleaning. On Sundays I went to my alma mater’s library at 1pm and stayed till 11pm.
There is a hospital next door to Cerner and a library just down the street. NOW the hospitals are closed to all but essential relatives (so no malingering in the cafeteria) and the libraries around here limit your visit to 90 minutes. I’m trying to figure out how to persuade the library to let me stay for 3 hours instead of just 90 minutes. It may require tears. Fortunately, I’m good at those.
When the weather warms up, I’ll just go to the park to work. Until then…
Is the library big enough you can hide behind the stacks?
No idea. Never been to that library before. However, once I get settled in with my portable office, I don’t get up again. I can get a lot of shit done in 3.5 hours in a library that I can’t at home.
Go for 90 minutes…take a walking break for 10 minutes and then go back in?
I thought about it. It means I have to pack away my portable office, then set it back up again. If I have to, I can do that.
Or tell them you are a inter-sectional LGBT student studying to become a lawyer and this is the only safe space since there are still Trump voters roaming the lands.
Considering where she lives, I’m not sure that approach will be met with the requisite amount of sympathy.
Yeah, you never know around here who’s a Trump voter or not, unless they tell you or are conspicuously silent during a discussion.
Easy. Tell the kid to get an F’ing drivers license.
Long story. We’re working on it.
Meh, you can easily print one and then laminate it, or if you’re lazy, they sell them down by Macarthur park with any name/age you want. You supply the pic.
Bingo.
A teen getting his DL is not for his benefit, but for that of his parents.
So that is why my parents got me a truck…
S’truth.
Spud – your method produced some good bacon. I have a few more curing at the moment but trying different techniques. One is an equilibrium cure, another a wet cure, and the last your method but going for a ‘spiced’ bacon with juniper berries, bay, pepper and thyme in that one. Not much will penetrate the meat, but it sounded good.
It’s hard to mess up bacon. Unless I’m cooking it. Not proud of that.
If you have trouble cooking on stove top, just toss in oven on a sheet pan @ 375 and monitor for crispness you enjoy.
Maybe that’s my issue – I was @ 325, and the grease coagulated.
Still, bacon – just poorly cooked
That isn’t bad at all by the way. I would cook it that way and toss it in some bean soup. That way you get the bacon and the almost rendered fat. There are uses for ‘badly’ cooked products…always.
Your bacon on a BLT would probably be awesome
If you have trouble cooking on stove top, it could be that you are heating the pan first like you would for anything else. Put the bacon in a cold pan, then put it on the heat.
ATK says to cover the bacon in water to start as the water boils off it cooks the Bacon but doesn’t allow it to get over crispy, I’ve never tried it because I can cook bacon.
+1 skillet
Ackshually, I use a cast iron griddle.
Ackshually…either will work
I use the oven and a cooling rack over a cookie sheet.
I get out of Mrs F way, she does what she wants and I eat what she does.
Microwave.
Works every time.
Dude….
Wife and just made it through episode 9 season 1 of Yellowstone.
I’m still convinced that Beth Dutton is the evilest human to ever live in fiction drama films. Wait… then people showed up from California. Oh wait again… we were talking about humans.
On the reality side, Incoming storm alert!
Supposedly, a monster storm cometh tomorrow.
So Monday could be a snow day. The first one in as long as I can remember.
So, if there’s a snow day, that is a no work day.
I have a tradition for that. When I get the message at 6am that we are closed, I let out a giant war hoop, go running down the hall screaming like a madman, into the bedroom, and fly through the air, still screaming, and yell ‘SNOW FUCKING DAY!!!!’ and land on the bed, where my wife is still sleeping, and then she goes on for a while cursing and fussing.
So, I’m fatter now, and catastrophe could ensue, we will see.
Eh, just bring her coffee in bed and one of those “knowing” smiles.
(WHAT?!? Works for me . . . )
That’s like, no fun at all.
Apparently, your knowing smile does not work like my knowing smile.
Gosh, I might have to work from home.
How is Yellowstone? Was recommended by someone and was thinking about watching.

“Far-right extremists use GameStop chaos to radicalize and recruit on Telegram”
https://twitter.com/Newsweek/status/1355275091509182466
“Meanwhile, far-right activists and conspiracy theorists on the Telegram messaging service jumped on the chaos as validation of their ideologies and a potential recruiting event for disaffected users. Several tied the trading platform’s actions to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and blamed wealthy Jewish people for the decision.
One channel affiliating itself with the anti-government Boogaloo movement—whose heavily armed members often stand out at anti-government rallies thanks to their colorful Hawaiian shirts—was explicit in tying its anti-Semitic conspiracy theories to the GameStop saga.
“Only jews can manipulate markets! Not normal citizens!” the account—which has almost 10,000 followers—wrote on Thursday. The post set off a discussion in the comments, some users posting more anti-Semitic propaganda while others condemned the account owner for hate speech.”
https://www.newsweek.com/far-right-extremists-use-gamestop-chaos-radicalize-recruit-telegram-1565355
From an article that never appeared last summer.
Riiiiight. It’s only the far right who dislike Jewish people. The far left has been ever so special at comfiting them. Just read Stalin and Lenin, they’re so friendly to Jews.
Also, Nazis are far left, not far right. Socialists of any kind are far left.
So Telegram was infected by ZeroHedge?
I apologize in advance?
But at least it’s not a degloving.
Risking TMI…I was told it goes both ways. I said sex as God intended is good with me!

OK, then.
Who does Carson City think it is… Albany?
“Lyon County, which sits east of Reno and Carson City and includes the town of Fernley and Silver Springs, declared an economic emergency and called on business to determine and implement practices on their own.”
Good for them. That is some seriously rural area, glad they told the fuckwit in Carson City to piss off. A one year emergency is beyond ridiculous.

Guess what guys? Deblasio is as corruptas the day is long.
Are you suggesting his wife can’t figure out where $1bn went?
Different scandal.
So many scandals. We should be grateful that these noble public servants still make time to herd us sheep, considering how many scandals they juggle in the background.
Im off to work, kids. Mind the shoppe.
I got a new personal best on the baked mac and cheese.
I’m getting good at the cheese sauce, I’m still bad at knowing when to start it.
Mrs. Jarret made the best mac ‘n’ cheese when I was in 2nd grade. It had breadcrumbs on top!
You don’t top mac and cheese with breadcrumbs, you top it with more cheese.
I still haven’t learned the lesson that prepping the vegetables isn’t counted in the time to cook on the recipe.
Made a new recipe tonight: Thai basil chicken. Twas pretty good. With a few tweeks it’ll be great.
Getting the Thai must be difficult.
He came home fine enough. He started protesting when I tried to put him in the skillet, though.
I usually double any listed prep times. Either I’m particularly slow or they’re wildly optimistic.
I’ve always written it off as me being slow. My knife skills are intermediate (if I’m being charitable), so doing things right takes some time. Today, however, I watched the clock after I mise en placed. Sure enough, 25 minutes, just like the recipe said.
I can get my mice in place, but don’t ask me to speak french.
You still have mice in your place? Told you you needed a cat!
I made spaghetti sauce. The ailing husband arose from bed and started spraying air freshener (!!) everywhere because the smell of the cooking onions and garlic etc was appalling to him.
The same smells that heretofore have always drawn him into the kitchen in blissful anticipation of consuming fabulous cookery are now making him nauseated and frankly quite rude.
Stupid Covid.
I am still cooking some pasta so that at least I can enjoy it.
Then I’ll go watch some British TV that he always complains about, since he’s back in bed and won’t know the difference.
Maybe some vintage Miss Marple with Joan Hickson.
Have you seen the comedy show Derry Girls on Netflix? I haven’t yet, but my sister really likes it and told me I should check it out. She loves the British TV shows. One that I did watch and really liked is Coupling. I thought it was really funny.
I greatly enjoyed Derry Girls.
Loved Coupling. Sarah Alexander Is still hot.
I’ve not watched either show.
Thanks for the tips!
Yes she is!
Hayek, if you have Amazon Prime I know Coupling is on there. It’s one of my favorite comedies of the last 20 years.
Likely.
As of the end of 2020, 142 million domestic consumers had access to a Prime membership, according to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners.
I could be wrong, but I believe Hayek has talked of trying to cut Amazon out of her life.
Margaret Rutherford FTW.
Since I see no evidence of stylish gloves, I conclude none of them are Uncivil Servant.

No.

#1! Ay caramba! Anyone about?
Nope, apparently. you must join the zoom
Not feeling it tonight. Judi hates when I Zoom. I added three people to the “hates Festus list” already this weekend and that was work-related.
join us.
Not of the body!
I’m asleep.
Sealskin sleeping mittens?
Present. YouTube and Woodford. Going to pull down drywall tomorrow in the garage, clean out out whatever is behind it, and do a little rearrangement. Spent an hour trying to figure out what I need to do to dump the waste. It’s unplastered and fiberglass behind it so I think I’m ok without asbestos testing and remediation. Fuck this world.
Back from my sail. The winds were glorious and we went fast without any shortening of sails. We saw a couple of pods of whales. In one it looked like a youth turned our way. It only took a minute or two before an adult steered them away.
This! This is why I love this place! The diverse experiences of different people. Not “Benneton” diversity, real differences in experience and lifestyles. I’m happy that you had a grand day, dbleagle. Mine was for shit but that’s on me.
“Those are called humans, they’re insane, stay away from them.”
Good advice, relevant for us as well.
I was banned from the Zoom. It’s a conspiracy. Jealousy and envy.
Likely firsting related. Did you actually get booted?
If you have to first, you must last.
Lasting. I think I may be in the running. Or is it penultimating, perhaps?
Zoom still going?!
Jeebus. I’m already in my mid-night awake period before I go back for more pleasant dreams.
Its drunks and Tonio hitting on random zoomers….it was glorious!
I always miss the hot action.
