STEVE SMITH NO EAT SPIDER. BUT HIM DO HAVE BEER.
Noooooooooope
Just like the scorpion tequila a guy offered me one time. I like my drinking to be arachnid free whenever possible.
I would be more concerned with having that spider in my living room.
I worked with a guy who was trying to bring a line of infused rums to market. Scorpion rum is… really quite tasty.
HARD PASS!
You and me both. Trashy. You and me both.
“Dude eats a huge spider, washes it down with a beer”
Damnit, that was one of our drones. Now I’ve got paperwork to do. You stupid mammals will do anything if someone holds your beer…and first?

Why am I already tired of “shadow-ban”, “dark web”, and “dark money”?
SUP SALLY!
I don’t know, but Tundra is tired of Lauren Southern. So I’m thinking Minnesota is putting chemicals in the water.
Who the fuck drinks water?
You drink beer? You’re drinking water with flavorings and stuff.
Why have the tubers turned on me?!?
But, yeah, it’s the ‘stuff’ that counts!

Are you currently missing someone? https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/man-enters-jacksonville-store-and-chases-people-with-live-alligator/77-578170220
The incident is currently under investigation, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
It is currently unknown if the man has done anything illegal.
Fuck them with a rusty chainsaw.
They don’t know if chasing people with an alligator is illegal?
It’s actually pretty funny.
Exactly..
No, that was my buddy Jim. He is not down for the whole skin suit thing, but he likes to vacation down there. We have a leave program setup for fleet personnel working the embargo.

This has not been a fun weekend. Pup #1, the one we gave to my daughter, died in my wife’s arms in the middle of the night last night. Pup 2 is on a knife’s edge and probably won’t make it through tonight. I think the other two are going to be okay.
I’m almost positive now it was a fox that snuck in the yard and shed this evil, horrible shit before they got vaccinated.
AGHHHHH! I’m So Sorry, it saddens me, but, Life?
That’s terrible news. Sorry to hear it.
That sucks. Sorry to hear that.
Sorry, man. GSDs seem to be really vulnerable to that shit. Praying that the rest of them make it.
Ya got my sympathy and empathy, my friend.
Sorry 🙁
Shit. Really feel for you.
Thanks everyone. Hopefully, she’ll pull through tonight and then have a better prognosis.
It’s weird. When I was a kid, my St. Bernard got ‘bloat’ one night. I found her in the garage completely fucked up and my mom and I loaded her into the station wagon where I held her and my mom drove like hell to the emergency vet. They tried to do surgery but it was a no go. I got the news while I was still wearing clothes with dog barf and blood on them.
You might think that would dissuade a kid from ever owning a dog again, but it was the opposite for me. Even as a kid, I was glad I could be there for her and that she had us at the end. Your kid is experiencing some valuable things right now.
Owning dogs is fucking brutal sometimes, but I will always have one.
Oh man, I’m sorry you had to go through that. Bloat is another sudden onset evil of the doggie world.
I hear you. That’s along the lines of what I told my wife… at least he passed away warm, with his person, and likely peacefully in his sleep. Ironically, I had already made spay/neuter appointments for this be our final litter without having any idea how it would turn at the very end. It would have been nice to retire on a high note but that’s Life (h/t Yusef).
We’ll always have dogs too, I can’t imagine not.
I have a totes-ghey kitchen towel that reads “A House Without A Dog Is Not A Home”. I think ex-Mrs Tres brought it home 25 years ago. It’s always hung from the handle on my oven-door.
Totes-ghey indeed, but close to home all same. I might have to find one for the wife.
Wait what’s wrong with the pups? If a stupid fox caused this I hope you declare jihad on their vulpine asses.
They’ve got Parvo. They all got vaccinated the day they turned 6 weeks old, and I take every precaution before then to limit exposure.
About 10 days before they started getting sick, my wife noticed the mother dog freaking out and running in circles around the chicken coop when she let all the dogs/pups outside that morning. We have a ton of foxes in the woods and I’m thinking a fox came into the backyard, circled the coop, and shed the parvo since they are carriers.
goddamn. That sucks man.
I hope you declare jihad on their vulpine asses
This was a good one.
And yes, jihad declared. I usually ignore them while walking through the woods but will now likely take a shot if I have one. They are quick though.
Shit….that is bad stuff. Hang in there, man.
Thanks. Pup#2 just died, again in my wife’s arms, despite keeping down some liquids.
The other two are active and inhaling food and water. I’m keeping a close eye on them, but I think they will be okay.
Aren’t these puppies?
Yea, just about 7 weeks old.

The whole “abolish ICE” thing is retarded. They want to abolish the agency that enforces the laws, but not change the laws. Which gives the worst possible result — borders that are open in practice but not in principle, letting in even more people whose status is still illegal.
That’s exactly what they want, they can’t issue Permission slips to people who have done nothing illegal.
I dunno, I started thinking about it. I don’t agree with WHY they want to abolish it, but it seems like it could be rolled up into CBP to reduce costs (stop laughing!). Their missions seem similar enough.
I like where this guy is going. Do we need a DEA, USM, SS, BATFE, SEC? It seems like we can take all of these federal law enforcement agencies, and combine them into one. This should reduce the administrative staff of pretty much all but one of them.
What I wouldn’t give for Trump to do something like that.
“Okay, I’ve rolled ICE into CBP and the Legislature has increased CBP’s budget by half of ICE’s budget. Nothing changed except reduced costs. You happy?”
Yes, but they aren’t advocating for it reduce the number of federal agencies. In fact, I don’t think they are advocating actually abolishing ICE. It’s a purely political gesture. If they are against ICE as a matter of policy, why haven’t they been against ICE since Bush?
Oh I know, that’s why I said I don’t agree with why they want to abolish it.

So you are saying you were the Zodiac killer?
“A mere matter of days after InfoWars founder Alex Jones received yet another YouTube strike — but wasn’t banned — he’s been hit with a 30-day block on Facebook.
Jones received another strike on YouTube this week for violating community guidelines in four videos, which have since been taken down.
A Facebook spokesperson confirmed in an email that the social network has enforced a 30-day time out for Jones after he was found to have violated Facebook’s Community Standards.
“Our Community Standards make it clear that we prohibit content that encourages physical harm [bullying], or attacks someone based on their religious affiliation or gender identity [hate speech],” said a Facebook spokesperson.”
https://mashable.com/2018/07/27/alex-jones-30-day-ban/#L8o_0aipISqb
Shouldn’t one be allowed to attack someone based on their religious affiliation? Religious affiliation is largely voluntary. If someone chooses a belief system that I think is ridiculous, then I should be allowed to ridicule that choice. That’s way difference than true threats or inciting violence.
Sure sounds like bullying
Gender identity is voluntary, too.
#thingsshitlordssay
Only if you believe a person can identify as what ever gender they say. Which apparently is the law in some places (eg. Lauren Southern is a man in Canada). But just because something is the law, doesn’t mean it makes sense.
I will miss the high theatre that is Alex Jones.

Just spent 3 goddamn days packing U-Boxes for the CO migration. It fucking sucked. Florida is fucking hot. Our AC broke two days ago so I got to follow up a hot sweaty day with the bad kind of hot sweaty night.
But it’s fucking done. Boxes are full and locked. I’m many beers deep (Jai Alai for the record. Messican Sharpshooter hurt my feelings earlier. 3.5 my ass). 2 more weeks in an empty house and then I get to put the sunshine state in the rear view mirror.
Hooray Beer!
Good Luck in CO, Runaway, as fast as possible!
Enjoy Seasons (yes they actually exist), enjoy Dry Heat and Bloody noses, A nice Place.
Danke! I can’t wait to live in CO. There are elk to shoot and mountains to climb. Outdoor activities in a place where being outdoors won’t make me want to die.
Plus I get to meet Q in person. You know for taxonomic purposes.
Are you going to be able to teach in CO?
No clue what I’ll be doing yet. I’m hoping to teach up there, but I may have to go get a real job again. My wife is pretty big on taking the summers to travel so I might just go for a high school gig if nothing in higher ed presents itself.
I’d love to string together 5 or 6 online teaching gigs where I upload the same lectures and then return to my regularly scheduled nothing. But who knows?
If I lived in CO, I would get into gem hunting.

Aw, come on. Don’t kill house spiders. Kill all the house centipedes you like.
We have some big honkin’ brown orb weavers that set up nightly webs around the outside of the house. The big momma is probably half-dollar sized. Nothing compared to the garden orb weavers we had in Dallas, but still pretty big. Between them and the bats, the mosquitoes are kept under control.
I’m just amazed you keep house bats. That’s some quality mosquito control.
They have their own addition on the house. (I hung a bat house on the carport)
I hit a big ass wolf spider with a shoe once, and he looked at me like “wtf, bro?”
Then I did it again with *a lot* more effort, cuz then I was a bit scared of the fucker after he didn’t squash so easy.
I’ve had some monsters scramble out of the woodpile. For a harmless spider, those bastards are scary!
COME ON, DON’T KILL WOLF SPIDERS.
Especially not this one, you monster.
Woah.
And this is why we have flamethrowers.
We have Cane Spiders. They are the size of a decent can and striped. Good to keep around the house since they munch down the roaches.
They are like seeing a tarantula stroll across your kitchen.
http://www.instanthawaii.com/cgi-bin/hi?Animals.cane
I was in the crawlspace doing some work one time and there were spiders everywhere. One of them was approaching my arm, so I pounded it with my fist. That fucking thing was still alive. I pounded a few more times and then swept all that dirt away; I still don’t know if I actually killed it.
I pounded another one, and it started doing some kind of freaky death dance that consisted of raising the two front legs straight up in the air and quivering. For some reason, that is one of the freakiest things I have ever seen in my life.
Same thing happened to me last week in the kitchen. Except the wolf spider charged me after the first hit.
I thought house centipedes ate the shit out of everything else and you were supposed to leave them be?
I’ve only seen one in my life, so I figure killing every one you see isn’t too bad.
https://m.imgur.com/9W9R7dh?r
Nope.
That’s some sort of Lovecraftian horror. I’m talking about Scutigera coleoptrata, which I have here in NE.
In Hawaii a couple weeks ago, the AirBnb owner started out by talking about the centipedes they have, including showing us the dedicate centipede killin’ tongs. Freaked me out so much I barely slept that night, expecting centipedes around every corner. We saw one the whole time – dead, in the pool (apparently they do hurt like hell).
Nuke it from orbit.
Those guys don’t bother me much. That… thing… Sean linked. Holy fuck.
House centipedes fill me with immediate revulsion. Back when I lived in place where they appeared every so often. They were immediately terminated with extreme prejudice.
I don’t know if that is true but In the house I grew up in we had centipedes and I didn’t see any other insects in the house pretty much ever except flies or gnats from the garbage.
First month after moving into our first home I saw a rather large centipede racing back and forth across the floor one night.
I left it alone. They eat bugs. Lots of bugs.
I left the predatory spiders alone too.
The only bugs we’d ever have a problem with in that house (despite having a crawl space and a lot of gaps they could crawl through) were ants and ladybugs for a couple weeks each year.
No roaches or other icky bugs.
Yeah, I leave those alone too. Plus. my cats love playing with them. The occasional roach, though – yep, extreme prejudice.
I had to clean some guns before the move so I figured I’d shoot a bunch and dirty up some more guns before the big clean. I finally shot my M&P Shield 9mm that I bought a few months back and left sitting in the safe. Holy shit. Those little bastards can shoot. Tiny little pocket gun shot as well as my 1911 at 25 yards. I think my LCP is officially retired. Sure the LCP is tiny and light, but anyone past about 7 yards might as well be on mars for all I could do about it. The Shield is pretty sweet. I also shot the wife’s Kahr PM9 again. meh. I like it fine and it is more concealable than the shield, but the trigger pull is 9.3 miles long. Fuck that.
More random thoughts brought to you by beer.
I love my Shield. Even better with an Apex trigger assembly.
And Talon tape grips.
This.
I love my Shield. Everyone mocks me for it, but I can shoot it well, it’s easy to conceal and it will eat any piece of shit of ammo you feed it.
I hope you love CO. Moving Spawn there in a couple weeks and I’m really fucking jealous.
Spawn is going to Mines right? Not bad. At some point when you go visit your crotch dropling you should meet up with me and Q and B.P. and Pagal et.al.
Yup. I will be making more business trips there, for sure.
Looking forward to meeting y’all.
I love my shield. I need to shoot it again soon.
I’ve got a Shield in .40 S&W I keep in a Remora holster. Just tuck it into my belt and it’s tight and secure. My only issue is the small size results in me pulling the gun off target about six inches when I squeeze the trigger.
I used the Remora for a long time but switched to a Bravo Concealment DOS and it’s almost perfect. I only use one of the clips and it’s secure and comfortable. Like The Remora, it’s really nice for when you are constantly taking it on and off.
Highly recommended.
it probably helps me that I’ve carried an LCP .380 for many years. Practicing with that tiny little bitch made me refine my shooting more than I otherwise would have. At 9 oz. anything can throw that shot wide. Had to practice practice practice.
Yeah, need moar practice. It’s my only handgun that I have that problem with.
Remora holsters are surprisingly nice for their price. I have a couple i use, even though I prefer leather holsters for edc.
I have several Milt Sparks holsters. Their shop is about 20 minutes from here.
I have a Crossbreed that works fairly well. I can’t keep anything from printing though. If I wear a shirt big enough to keep that from happening I look like a gangbanger in a huge shirt. If I wear a shirt that fits it gets caught on the grip. Looking at clothes made for concealed carry now but since I’m overseas I haven’t had an opportunity to see how effective they are.
Nobody notices anyway.
This is true.
Nooooo kidding. I’ve open carried before and had friends not notice I was packing a gun. I give zero fucks about printing now.
My wife is the only one who notices that my hips are asymmetrical, and that’s because I asked her one time whether it looked weird, and now she knows what to look for when I carry. As long as it’s not an obviously gun shaped print, I don’t care.
The main thing I’m afraid of is my shirt catching on a chair arm or something, hiking up, and exposing the butt of the gun.
Don’t worry. I walked around Target with my shirt hiked up over the gun and not one soccer mom noticed.
Now, of course, it may be because I’m just so damn pretty…
Middle-aged guys going untucked makes this easy after hours….New Wife never even notices.
In my day Texas law was shall conceal…..a total bitch. I almost never open carry, but it’s nice not to worry about being made down there any more.
My standard summer CC apparel is an untucked “camp shirt” – a short-sleeved button-up kinda deal. They’re meant to have a fairly loose fit, so you can keep your gun from printing without looking like a weirdo.
I think a little bit of printing is inevitable unless you’re carrying a Ruger LCP or something. Another thing to consider is that 99% of people are not going to be scanning your torso for signs of a concealed firearm.
Another thing to consider is that 99% of people are not going to be scanning your torso for signs of a concealed firearm.
Yup. When I tuck my shirt in, it’s obvious to anybody who thinks about it hard enough why there’s a bulge and a random mismatching belt loop. Nobody cares enough to notice, let alone think about it.
Someone remind me of this guy’s far-right bona-fides again? It’s gotta be more than “anti-EU” and “anti-hordes of destitute Africans washing up on the beaches”. Or maybe it doesn’t.

As a hunter, I believe in taking game in a fair, sporting ethical manner. That is why I have to complain to STEVE SMITH about this.
This is like baiting deer and then sitting in a stand next to the feeder. It just isn’t fair to falsely lure hunters into the woods under false pretenses.
I learned to hunt in Texas. baiting deer over a feeder is pretty much the only way to do it unless you’re super rich. 97% of Texas is private land. So most of us hunt on tiny little 10 acre patches of dirt. You can’t shoot over a fence, a road, or a creek. And if you have to track an animal then you have to get permission to cross each property line. Fuck it. Set up the feeder and ambush the giant squirrels at breakfast. Easy peasy and backstrap goes in my freezer.
Treat yourself to a mule deer hunt in Montana.
As you gaze across the wide open spaces of eastern Montana you will see hundreds of deer. The trick is to figure out how to get close enough to a big deer.
If you are hunting does, a lot of the ranchers will buy you drinks in the saloon to try to get you to come to their ranch to kill the little fucking bastards that are eating all their hay.
We once had a rancher kick us off his property because we only shot two deer while sitting on some of his hay bales. When we asked him for permission to hunt his land he told us about the hay bales and told us to kill every deer we saw. Later when we were leaving, he stopped by to see how we had done. We told him we had shot two nice does. He was stunned we had seen only two deer. When we told him we had seen a lot more, but most of them were too small, he got mad and said “I told you to shoot every fucking deer you saw! You know what? You boys need to find somewhere else to hunt from now on.”
I have a lot of really good memories of mule deer hunting in Montana.
I’ve gotten to hunt “for real” in CO before. Elk in the back country with horses and everything. It was awesome. Now that I’m moving to CO I can actually go out in some open spaces and hunt some mountain meadows. I can’t wait.
Sadly, you may find that you can spot an orange vest every couple of hundred yards.
Yeah. I’ve done two trips. One was little hunting pressure and the other was like an orange vest convention. Now that I’ll be in state I hope to find some areas with a lot fewer hunters in them.
Doing a NM elk hunt this fall on private land with a couple of glibs lurkers. Libertarians, whiskey, rifles. If we all survive I’ll probably do a write up.
There are places where it is not that thick in orange. You have to do quite a bit of hiking to get there if you’re not horse bound though. My groups life long spot is on the edge of a wilderness area (now, it wasn’t wilderness when we were kids) and usually the only hunters you see are on guided horseback hunts. Tourists drive the roads and they are thick.
Would you mind if I asked if you were taken hunting by pals or by pros in eastern MT?
Amateur hunts. I went with my father and his buddies. Since then, I’ve done some hunting in NW NoDak and that was all just amateur stuff too.

Will White Guy Wilkenson Niskanen-splaining a Voxsplainer about White People Which is Really Just Ass Covering For a Twitter Poll Gone Very Wrong
If none of the above made sense, don’t worry, its not supposed to.
Its just funny seeing W.W. white-knighting for Vox, as tho these aren’t the two whitest institutions on earth since The Partridge Family went off the air
I posted it this morning.
But the important question is, Jan or Marsha?
I’ll take Jan. Marsha looks like the kind who hovers over you with a knife while you’re sleeping.
Jan looks like the type who’d be like, “I have daddy fantasies, i hope you don’t get weirded out or anything”
I always liked Jan too.
Why not both?
Incest?
Never heard of sister wives?
Not if they don’t touch each other.
That’s supposed to be the answer to “Ginger or Mary Ann?”
For some reason, that reminded me of this commercial which could not only not get made now, it would certainly get someone fired for even suggesting it.
let me see that with Lucy Lawless and Gina Carano, and Ill be in my bunk till Im blind.
That’d… that’d be really something. I started to write “Lucy Lawless now or Xena-days?” but I’m not sure that’d matter – she’s aging like a champ.
BTW, am I the only person who loves ‘Haywire’? Just looked at Rotten Tomatoes and that’s one of the odd “critics liked it, audiences hated it (80% / 41%), which is the total opposite for a normal action movie – but this is a Steven Soderbergh action movie, so I dunno.
Soderbergh films and Rosé….

I can’t remember any of the names of the ppl in the Partridge Fam… except… wasn’t one of them Davy Jones?
no: David Cassidy. I can’t remember why, but i think he was famous for being like a real musician-person and not just a TV-character
Davy Jones was the monkee with the accent?
Susan Dey and Danny Bonaduce.
Susan Dey? So would.
Yes, Davy Jones was English.
Up With People was still around after The Partridge Family.
I’m not certain when the Mike Curb Congregation disbanded.
After they burned their bridges?
“Up With People was still around after The Partridge Family.”
…. were they connected? I recall the former was some … religious thing? right-wing hippies? they sang songs and did mickey-mouse-club theatrics @ halftime shows? I remember someone referencing them but not the context why. Their wikipedia page is shorter now than the last time i checked.
i agree, they were possibly whiter than the Partridge Family. Possibly in a category of Ultra-White, which blinds people with its sheer whiteness.
Words of warning(?) My first attempt at drinking gose. Two from Westbrook brewing. The first was a lemon and cucumber, slightly tart lemon flavor, very acidic, not sure where or why the cuke. The second was key lime pie, a lot of lime flavor but no sour, also very acidic and it dried my mouth like a spoonful of cinnamon. Neither very pleasant.
Now go drink a Flanders Red and then go back to the Gose. All of the sudden the Gose won’t seem so sour.
That’s just it. I didn’t think either were very sour, just very acidic.
Acid makes sour beer sour.
It also depends on the anion that’s in your beverage, too. If you have vinegar (acetic acid), you’ll need more of that and less of a stronger acid with a solid salt, like HCl for an equivalent taste due to the difference in acetate v. chloride on your tongue.
“It also depends on the anion that’s in your beverage, too”
He’s drinking Goses not Gibsons dude….
I’m drinking Keystone Light in double-deuces. Im not an expert….
I respect the bigboy cans, but Keystone? Not even the silver bullet? Do better Tres. Do better.
This is what I am picturing.
Ahhh. Then in the interest of saving my remaining stomach lining I shall desist from imbibing.
Acid is why I can’t drink wine.
Sorry to hear that – wine is one of the great joys of life.
/me pours some more rosé
Acid is why I can bend spacetime with my mind.
Cobra, that is all….
I’m not a gose fan. I don’t like tart or sour flavors. I have the same issue with ciders.
I can stomach one gose at most in a sitting. I like citrus, but it’s too much. Its what I imagine drinking lemon pledge would be like.
Lemon flavored sparkling water, from any brand, tastes like lemon pledge. Gose is tasty pool beer. Though like any trendy beer style, there are a lot of breweries out there churning out garbage goses these days.

I didn’t realize you were Canadian. Condolences.
Hotter than hot hot HOT!
Letterkenny Seasons 1-4 are on Hulu. They’ve been on Piratebay for a year.
I’m waiting on Season 5….
You can’t expect a season 5 if you’re getting it on PB…
Who said I do PB? It would be far easier to use a Canadian VPN and just stream them from CraveTV for free anyhow.
Torrents are too much headache any more.
I got my old room mates’ internet suspended after downloading (of fucking anything) Legend of Neil… a Zelda parody from fucking ten years ago. Apparently Fox is SUPER SERIAL about keeping that IP alive.
So, yeah. No more torrenting for me either.
Roger’s is real dicks about things too.
Or so I’ve heard.
Fun fact: I dropped that habit the day I got the email from The Jacket informing me that I had attracted the attention of the gentleman DA from the Southern District of New York. I hadn’t any idea what was actually going on until several days later. I also deleted a LOT of emails.
Wow. Yeah, that’s a paddling.

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE ALLY ITALY WITH BRITAIN?
Everyone who does a full English breakfast with Italian sausage as god intended.
sooooo no one? I’ve never heard of this and I’ve been to England many times and Italy once.
English breakfast is overrated. Who wants shitty beans and mushy tomato for breakfast?
This. It’s hard to do better than a good omelette for breakfast.
I like the Scottish breakfast. Haggis rocks!
I could be down for some Scottish breakfast. Haggis is delicious and blood pudding CAN be delicious depending on the cook. Kippers are generally not good though.
Kippers are goddamn delicious, provided you’re on the coast of Scotland eating kippers smoked within 10 miles of you.
Otherwise you’re really rolling the dice.
There is no better breakfast sausage on this earth than Irish. Add some black pudding, white pudding, beans, fried tomato eggs and spuds and you have reached breakfast heaven.
Haggis? really?
Really.
I was shocked how much I liked it.
OK, but it sounds offal.
I can’t stomach any more haggis puns.
And kippers?
Who does fish for breakfast? Well, other than Ace Rimmer .
Come on now, Italian sausage is better than whatever the brits try to pass off as sausage, so a full english with Italian sausage would be the way to go imho.
I used to eat breakfast at a diner that served breakfast with Italian sausage. It was very good. And the waitress was a total smokeshow.
Joe’s Scramble with Italian sausage, perfectly cooked hash browns, and a biscuit like a cloud with Marion berry jam.
“English breakfast is overrated.”
Agreed.
I have a funny story about explaining the concept of “bacon egg and cheese” to a cook @ a london fry-up place.
he had been selling shitty breakfasts on a plate to people for the previous 20 years, but the idea of making a to-go breakfast sandwich was incomprehensible to him. “Why would you want that”? I’m like just fucking do it and i’ll pay you 50p more than the fucking plate. so he does, and i’m eating my bacon-egg-cheese @ my desk, and everyone in the office is, “Where did you get that” “What’s that” “that smells good” and “where can i get that” and “He just made it for YOU? you mean you just asked him and he did it?” They were bewildered, even tho there was a place called “Pret a Manger” right across the street. The idea of asking a food-place to make something ‘not actually on the menu” was utterly incomprehensible to them.
the next week i’m in there and the cook is like, “YOU WOULDN”T BELIEVE IT IVE GOT 50 PEOPLE COMING IN EVERY DAY ASKING FOR THAT BLOODY SANDWICH” He called it ‘The New Yorker’.
i just thought it was hilarious that no one in this guy’s entire life had ever considered asking for such an obvious thing.
I’ve had an English “breakfast sandwich” before and it was grey bacon and slimy eggs with a tomato and watercress on toast. No bueno.
You should have brought the dude some tortillas and and gone into business with him. Y’all would be millionaires by now.
Also I vaguely recall eating at Pret a Manger a time or two. They had silly shit like parsnip chips and elderflower soda….I liked it….
I love Pret a Manger – used to grab lunch from there all the time before my office moved to a food desert in NJ.
Wow.
That is great. But then again you are dealing with people that think cumbers and butter on white bread is a sandwich so what do you expect. I have never had the full english with italian sausage, I just made that shit up now reading the links, but I think It would be superior to the traditional full english. Brits can’t make sausage.
I worked with a British guy who loved bangers though. I never ate one, or ever had a full English, myself.
I know bangers from the Irish pub world – bangers and mash is delicious. Not sure if English bangers differ.
I am not the most world traveled and never had the leisure time to experience everything I would have liked, but it has been my experience that the best sausages are made in N America. It might be we over spice everything and it is what I know, but even German sausages where meh to me in the few times I ate them. I equate it to why Americanized/Tex Mex is far superior to authentic Mexican food. Authentic Mexican food is bland af and so are bangers.
Fuck yeah. American flavor bombs beat all else. I love making vietnamese, thai, and korean food. My versions are all dialed up to 11.
I don’t need “authentic.” I need delicious. So I start with traditional recipes and then add a shitload more of everything flavorful.
I love German sausages* but you have a point about authentic Mexican food – though I do like it too.
*both the “authentic recipes” I buy from a joint in Illinois and the ones I remember from living there long ago seem the same to me
Enough with the euphemisms!
Adult-sized bangers
I like bangers. Best is a sausage sandwich.
Slice into planks, fry until browned. Toast a good white bread with the crust cut off. Spread a light layer of Colemans or a stoneground mustard on one slice (optional). Put lettuce on top. Put sausage planks on top of that. Spread a thick layer of butter on the other slice and put it together. Eat it as the butter melts all over the sausage.
My usual sausage/bread combination is a grilled Italian sausage wrapped up in a pita with peppers, onions, and some shreds of mozzarella or provolone.
And fried bread is delicious.
Amen.
The fact the rat-standard NY deli egg sandwich isn’t available nationwide, never mind worldwide, is mind-boggling. I think that may be the #1 adjustment to New Yorkers coming up to the Boston area for school – you can’t just get a bacon, egg and cheese at some place around the way.
Roll, fried eggs, bacon (or, the superior choice, ham), slice of cheese (American will do, cheddar is superior). It’s not hard.
(Place near work will do ham, egg and cheddar on their fresh-baked ciabatta rolls – off menu, but I don’t know why, as it’s fantastic).
Maybe it’s just me but nobody knows how to cook fucking bacon any more – and that includes NY. These days I’ll order a sausage-egg-and-cheese before bacon because rubbery bacon is disgusting.
Same with hash browns (and all potatoes). It’s not supposed to be soggy.
I know I’m in the minority preferring chewy bacon.
That said, my “ham over bacon” preference for sandwiches is because bacon is too assertive of a flavor (as is most sausage you’ll get in a deli, IMO). You can’t taste the eggs, just the bacon. Ham is more subtle, while still providing that porky goodness.
My wife literally tells people to burn her bacon. She wants it super crispy and almost about to char, and the only way a restaurant will get it right is to tell them to burn it. I thought I was picky about my bacon being crispy until I met her.
There is a perfect bacon cook that’s between what I’m calling “rubbery” and what I would consider “crispy”. The fat is juuuuust getting crispy and yeah maybe still “chewy”. I am able to achieve this at home but I’ve found that almost no restaurant bothers.
Lardons were my wife’s gateway-drug to bacon – she hit her 30’s thinking she didn’t like bacon but it was really she just didn’t like crispy bacon. We both like some chew to it.
I prefer mine to be slightly less done myself.
There’s a very fine line between crispy bacon and burnt bacon.
Cross the line even a little and it ruins it.
indeed. and i remain mildly proud for having introduced a small corner of north london to the concept.
it really didn’t even dawn on me for a couple more years how utterly foreign the idea of “Deli food” really was to the English. Brits would occasionally come to the NY office for a few months just as i had shipped over there for a couple of years, and when they were in NY they’d be like, “where do people get lunch”? and i’d name the closest few delis, pizza places, etc. One day this guy comes back and he’s like, “do you know any places that have proper sandwiches”? And i am like wtf are you talking about, there’s a deli right across the street. and he’s like, “I mean like wrapped, you know like a Tescos” I’m like ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH, you can get whatever you want made fresh by that dude behind the counter, and he looks all awkward and is like, “But they don’t have a menu!” I’m still looking at him like he’s nuts. “how hard is it to say, “chicken salad on a roll” (or whatever it is you want)” He’s just shuffling and like, “why do i have to talk to people just to get a sandwich. i don’t know what i want, i need a menu.”
I thought he was unique, but others were like, “mate, he’s never been out of the UK” They thought his POV was perfectly normal. As NY’r i couldn’t possibly comprehend that anyone would not only accept a dry airport sandwich wrapped in plastic, that they’d actually prefer it.
“I mean like wrapped, you know like a Tescos”
JFC. Also, every deli I’ve been in has a variety of “special” sandwiches posted, in addition to “whatever you want”.
this particular guy i think interpreted that to mean that was all they offered that day. to be fair, he was extremely uptight and particular even by brit-standards. he had many complaints about the US (or NYC, really) that were common w/ the english, but in greater degree/frequency.
(for whatever reason, Mancs and Scots eased quickly into NYC life and seemed to instantly get the vibe; whereas Oxbridge, snooty-southerners were far more prone to whinge about Americanisms)
i shared an office w/ the dude for about a year. one of his hangups was the fact that public toilet stalls in the US were open at the bottom (in the UK/france, doors to bathroom stalls tend to go all the way to the floor). I’m like, “uhh….. and why is that a problem? doesn’t it help you know whether a stall is Occupato?”… and he’s turning red, going, “EVERYONE CAN SEE YOUR PANTS”. by which he meant undies. I then would be like, “ah. I understand. so you wear ladies underpants.” Conversations with ‘crazy uptight english guy who complains about slight differences in America’ always helped make the day more interesting.

OT: Do you think there’s a difference between how men and women fall asleep?
Most women are baffled that I can take 13 minute naps, and they usually say something along the lines of “I can’t even fall asleep in such a short time”.
My wife comments on how I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. She takes much longer to fall asleep. I don’t know how much of that is gender versus her just being an insomniac.
Same for me player
My wife and I are the opposite. She can fall asleep in ten seconds flat. She can’t read 3 pages without going into a narcoleptic trance. I’m a lifelong insomniac. I need 90 minutes of heads up before sleep and I are in the same zip-code.
I’m somewhere in the middle. Always been a poor sleeper. At least I don’t get the night terrors all the time like I used to – knock on wood.
Those buggers suck. Had a few in the past. Also had this weird thing where I was awake but couldn’t move my body. None of my friends had heard of it before. I told a Japanese friend about it and he quickly says, “Ah, Kanashibari.” Evidently it’s more common here.
Fucking sleep paralysis. Had it twice. Both times were creepy as fuck.
There’s some other name for it, but I’ve heard it called sleep paralysis. Its the most common scientific explanation for alien abduction experiences.
It was one of the only times I’ve actually believed for a split second that ghosts/spirits or whatever existed. I can see why they’d explain it as alien abduction.
The first time I had sleep paralysis I was pretty sure some kind of demon was hovering just out of sight watching me. It was completely fucked up and terrifying. And not the least because I had watched the shitty Keanu Reeves movie Constantine that night.
A horror movie got to me apparently and it was not some dark lovecraftian masterpiece, but a schlocky comic book ripoff.
That feeling of something being in the room. Absolutely. Seems strange because you could think you were having a stroke or something, but no, everyone who gets it says the same thing. There was a ________ in the room.
yeah. that’s both my sleep paralysis experiences in a nutshell. Something evil is in my room and I can’t move so I can’t deal with it. It’s demons for me, but I’ve studied a lot of demonology and witchcraft en route to my worthless degrees. I imagine the __________ in the room varies based on cultural programming and particular interests.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sabbath_(song)
Hypngogic-something. I considered going to some sleep institute once I learned online WTF was wrong with me, but I passed.
PS IIRC it has something to do with your brain sending the chemicals that relax your muscles as normal for sleep but not shutting off so you can actually fall asleep. Everything else is your brain trying to make sense of WTF is happening.
I get the hypnic jerk now and then – that feeling when you’re falling just as you’re falling asleep. PITA, as it screws up what should be a pleasant start of sleep, but I think it’s kinda cool this really ancient instinct is still there (“you’re about to fall out of the tree, monkey – get a better position”)
Stress can screw everything, eh.
that feeling when you’re falling just as you’re falling asleep
I’ve never had it at the start, only at the end, usually 5 minutes before my alarm goes off.
I’ve had the falling from time to time. Used to be a bit more often when I was younger.
You have a succubus. She’s thieving your semen to create awful homunculi to terrorize your children.
Yup, that’s what I’m talking about. Used to get it about once a month during my 20s and 30s. Basically you’re frozen in bed unable to fall asleep and feel like a huge weight is crushing you. Learned that it hits worst if you try to sleep on your back so I stopped that toot-sweet and it’s mostly gone away.
I’ve also heard about the “alien” thing but I never got that.
I don’t know if it was sleep paralysis, but several weeks ago I had a nightmare where I’d been abducted by some stereotypical mobster. He had me his arms around me and was dragging me about and calling for me partner. I was struggling but couldn’t move. I woke up and realized I had my arms pinned to my side and was face down, wrestling with the mattress.
Sounds more like a you had a nightmare.
Yep. But at least my semen is safe.
STEVE SMITHS SOVIET COUSIN SVETLANA SMIKOVA DISAGREE, AND BY DISAGREE MEAN STEAL SEMEN FROM UNSUSPECTING MEN AT NIGHT.
Here she is now!
I had a similar experience, being pinned and dreaming I was being grappled from behind. I ended up head butting my wife as she tried to cuddle up to me. She gets me all the time, though, with kicks and hits, heel raking my shins, and once, while I was in the grips of sleep paralysis and sleeping on my stomach, she threw an arm back across the back of my head, pushing my face into the pillow. I couldn’t breathe and couldn’t get my body to respond. I seriously thought I was going to die. Obviously I was able to eventually get out of that when my body started responding.
This is all while we’re both sleeping, if that wasn’t clear. Just restless sleeping, not domestic violence.
Everyone commenting on this obviously does not drink enough. I have never experienced anything like that.
I drink plenty. Maybe that’s why it’s only happened to me twice? If alcohol comas can fight the demons then I guess I should endeavor to drink even more.
Trust me, drinking or not ain’t got anything to do with it.
Same. It takes her months to read a book I read over a weekend.

NAKED GLIBS SELFIES TIME
Woke up late. Dicked around all morning, mostly here which was fine. It’s been a rough week so I needed a little veg time. Did eventually get motivated enough to do some laundry and put together my offset smoker/gas grill combo so I at least accomplished something today. I then ordered a bunch of accessories for grill on Amazon. Coal, wood, brush, gloves, etc. Time for shower and sleep.
I think I could watch this show for hours.

The little guys are cute. I missed the last train home from Shibuya one night when I was out drinking years ago, so I had to chill out until the morning at the all night coffee shop overlooking Shibuya scramble. About 3 am a couple white vans pull into the quad and a bunch of young guys wearing blue overalls jumped out. Each of them had a large stick and a big canvas bag. I’m wondering what the hell? They spread out and start pounding on piles of garbage and bushes until a rat would come fleeing out. Then they’d whack the rat on the head and stuff it the bag. They must’ve caught over a hundred rats in all. Very entertaining.
How do you drive through that madness?
Vewy carefuwy.
Have they heard of cuts other than the bowl?
Basically it’s a pedestrian only phase of the traffic lights, with all walk lights on. The don’t walk lights are on for all directions during the vehicle traffic phases.
In China they just build pedestrian bridges over that shit. Would seem helpful there.
Or in Germany they build pedestrian underpasses.
” pedestrian underpasses.”
Yeah, Budapest had a bunch of these. they were like, “Fuck crosswalks” (small, dense city, it would slow down traffic, so they bored under the streets) and every major corner had like these little underground mini-ghettoes. they could be dangerous. i can’t remember actually using them at night, maybe they closed them after dark and you could cross the street on top
“pedestrian underpasses”
a.k.a., rape tunnels.
There is an underpass there, too. The scramble runs really smoothly, though.
There’re pedestrian overpasses elsewhere around Shibuya station. The volume of people would probably require a very large overpass, probably more than the current space allows.
It’s also where the Hachiko statue is. Huge tourist attraction. Why would they destroy the draw by eliminating the crossing?

I love the word “arugula”. Drive my wife nuts by making the sound of an old Ford’s horn every time she serves it. “Arooooooooooogala, Arooooooogala.”
Helooooooooooo, nurse!
Have you seen the price of arugula lately?
No. Wife doesn’t trust me to do the grocery shopping.
I do prefer arugula over baby spinach. Has a little peppery bite that’s nice.
It’s ok in mixed greens. All arugula is too much arugula.
I like the word cornucopia for some strange reason.
It is ingrained in you from childhood and the woven straw horns spilling the bounty of the harvest on a hay bale display making you think you will never go hungry because you are white. You are brainwashed and is why you are a shitlord taking the harvest from others.
I am working on a submission to Vox on this very subject.
Thank goodness it wasn’t anything bad.
I havn’t eaten yet. I stopped and grabbed one of those bagged chopped salads at the store on my way home and plan on topping it with fried sausage and asiago. Tomorrow is the first day I have not had to work in the past seven days so I have beer drinking to catch up on. I do have a bottom round roast in the sous vide. I am trying out a jap version sous vide inspired by one of web dom’s links in her post the other day. It may be horrible or maybe not but it was on sale so I am only risking 5 bucks. My cheap ass slicer won’t slice raw meat very well so I thought maybe I should cook it first and then slice it. I am still dashi’less but in my hillbilly mind fish sauce should be an adequate substitute for finishing the dish sometime tomorrow.
A $5 sous vide setup? or $5 of meat?
5 risked on meat.
And now that I read that again I see where the confusion is. That there is some horrible sentence structure. sorry.
No worries, I’m drunk, my expectations are low.
I was more interested in the ass slicer.
I had a lovely pepperoni pizza from the local Neapolitan place, a four year old syrah (and then some rosé) while my wife is at a bachelorette party and I watched Thor: Ragnarok (looking here in between). I think you win the night, but mine wasn’t bad.
“The reason @Twitter bias is so egregious is that we have no other way to disseminate facts. With #FakeNews being a mouthpiece solely for the #Democrat narrative, there is no other forum for ANY other viewpoint. If @Twitter becomes as biased as @CNN, free speech is virtually dead.”

Not one of his better tweets.
Ya, I am not sure twitter is the only platform to “disseminate facts.” Someone should tell him about this site. I disseminate facts and some shit I make up all the time.
For shitlords, it’s the best way to reach normies. Sites like this or Reason mostly get found out by links from similarly-thinking people (for me it was finding Andrew Sullivan through a TV site of all things, then finding Megan McArdle through him, then she linked to a hubby piece on Reason), or even IRL, so you have to be already that way inclined to find it. On Twitter (despite their best efforts), if STEVE SMITH starts trending, normies will be exposed to him (and horrified, sure).
So yeah, Twitter is a net positive for libertarianism. Ponder that on the Tree of Woe.
““The opioid epidemic has killed more people in our city than car crashes and homicides combined,” said de Blasio. “After a rigorous review of similar efforts across the world, and after careful consideration of public health and safety expert views, we believe overdose prevention centers will save lives and get more New Yorkers into the treatment they need to beat this deadly addiction.””
