Peach Raspberry Crisp

[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”intro text” _builder_version=”3.15″]

Web Dominatrix sends her apologies. She’s crazy busy finishing up websites for a couple new clients. And these are ladies you do NOT want to disappoint (unless you’re into that sort of thing).

So, you’re stuck with me as a last minute substitute. Sorry, kids.

I thought I’d post one of my favorite vegan recipes. I’ve been making this regularly since last summer (2017) and I really could just eat the entire pan by myself.

Except it would be wrong not to share.

Right?

This recipe comes from America’s Test Kitchen cookbook Vegan for Everybody, which both Web Dom and I have mentioned before.

You may sub 1-3/4 pounds frozen peaches for the fresh. Make sure you thaw completely before using.

Peach Raspberry Crisp

Filling

  • 2-1/2 pounds peaches (peeled, halved, pitted and cut into 1/2 inch wedges)
  • 1/4 cup organic sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp instant tapioca (finely ground)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 10 ounces raspberries

Topping

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup organic brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup organic sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted and cooled)
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pecans (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp water

For the Filling

  1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Gently toss peaches with sugar and salt in bowl and let sit, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Drain peaches in colander set inside bowl; reserve 2 tablespoons juice and discard extra.

  2. Return drained peaches to bowl and toss with reserved juice, ground tapioca, lemon juice, and vanilla. Transfer to 8-inch square baking dish, press gently into an even layer, then top with raspberries.

For the Topping

  1. Meanwhile, process flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in food processor until combined, about 15 seconds. Add melted oil and pulse until mixture resembles wet sand, about 10 pulses. Add oats, pecans, and water and pulse until mixture forms marble-size clumps and no loose flour remains, about 15 pulses. Refrigerate mixture for at least 15 minutes.

  2. Sprinkle topping evenly over fruit, breaking into 1/2 inch pieces as necessary. Bake until topping is well browned and fruit is bubbling around edges, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating dish halfway through baking. Transfer to wire rack and let cool for at least 30 minutes. Serve warm.

    Dang.

    Wood.

      Sooooooo worth the calories.

      1. Tundra

        Hmm. Skip weigh in on Wednesday… don’t eat anything else… factor in ice cream…

        I can do it!!

        1. SP

          I have cheated on the vegan-ness on occasion and served it warm with vanilla ice cream melting all over it….

          And, of course, it can be non-vegan with butter used instead, which would be delicious.

        2. Tres Cool

          Looks like someone needs an open and honest discussion about common-sense science control .

          1. Yusef drives a Kia

            Just Eat it and Enjoy!
            Sup Tres!

  2. westernsloper

    Needs bourbon. Bourbon is vegan isn’t it?

    That looks awesome and I will be making that. Muchas gracias!

    *makes shopping list

    1. R C Dean

      Bourbon is vegan

      Should be. Vegans can eat grains, right? And bourbon is made from grain.

    2. SP

      You’re welcome.

      Bourbon must be vegan because that’s Web Dom’s preferred libation.

      And hmmmm. I have a bourbon-based vegan dessert. I should post that sometime.

      1. westernsloper

        The salt with the sugar on the peaches is new to me. We just sugar the peaches around these parts.

        1. SP

          I always use salt in desserts. It really enhances the sweetness of the actual peaches, instead of just adding general sweetness. Try it on watermelon or just a fresh, homegrown tomato sometime.

          1. Rhywun

            I can confirm that salt is magic on tomato.

          2. MikeS

            It’s wonderful.

          3. westernsloper

            I always salt watermelon or tomatoes but have never done it with peaches or any other tree fruit. It makes sense and now I feel I have been missing out for many years and perhaps have been living a lie and raised poorly.

          4. But Enough About Me

            Salt’s magic everywhere. Your tastebuds are electrically-activated, and salt allows current to flow through them via saliva, so they “turn on” more than otherwise and send better taste signals to your brain.

            Don’t believe me? Try making caramel with and without salt, and tell me which one tastes better.

          5. Rhywun

            I’ve definitely never thought of putting salt on any fruit (I don’t want to hear that tomato is a fruit) or other sweets. I will try sometime.

          6. F. Stupidity Jr.

            Salt on lemon…exquisite. Then again, I also love it without. It’s a win-win.

          7. RAHeinlein

            +1 salted watermelon – although my husband mocks mercilessly. His loss.

          8. SP

            We shall mock him in turn when next we get together.

          9. Count Potato

            “I always use salt in desserts.”

      vegans eat fungi, alcohol is produced by yeast consuming plant matter. as opposed to milk, which they dont eat, because it’s produced by an animal, even if the animal eats plants.

  3. Sensei

    Bad experience with peach Bartles and Jaymes wine coolers in college have made it almost impossible to enjoy anthing peach flavored ever again.

    1. SP

      Seriously? Get over it, dude.

      1. Sensei

        It’s actually funny. After about 10 years I could eat them again, but like zero enjoyment.

        But this looks like it has enough fat in it to make up for the fruit?

    2. straffinrun

      Unfortunately, I’m with you on that. Peaches kill part of my soul even thinking about them. I’d love to try this recipe, but substitute apples for the peaches. Blasphemy?

      1. Mojeaux

        Pears.

        1. straffinrun

          Pears are the Delaware of fruits. Kind of a fruit, and Delaware is kind of a state.

          1. pan fried wylie

            Delaware FEELS mushy and beige. I bet UCS loves it.

          2. No, too many speed cameras.

  4. Tres Cool

    Is the science settled yet on coconut oil? I heard it was great stuff, then suddenly it’s directly responsible for everyone having heart attacks.

    1. SP

      Well, all things in moderation. How often are you going to make this? And how much are you going to eat in one sitting? (Unless you’re like OMWC and me.)

    2. westernsloper

      Is the science settled yet on coconut oil?

      Yes, it causes climate change.

      1. But Enough About Me

        . . . it causes climate change.

        Doesn’t everything?

    3. Tundra

      It’s not settled, but the new stuff like this looks like bullshit.

      https://www.marksdailyapple.com/is-coconut-oil-pure-poison/

      “It’s obvious just from looking at these very recent studies, even some of the ones with negative or neutral effects, that coconut oil is far from poison. “Experts” do themselves no credit when they ignore and misrepresent the evidence like this.

      Luckily, we can read for ourselves. And we can try for ourselves.”

      So try it for yourself. Mrs. Tundra switched to coconut oil years ago and she’s smokin’ hot and healthy. You could be smokin hot ‘too, Tres!

      1. But Enough About Me

        Oooohhhhh, baby . . .

      2. F. Stupidity Jr.

        Tundra, you know can’t just make a claim like that without pics. I think I speak for everyone here when I demand to see those pics of Tres!

        1. Tundra

          Nope. He’s simply too smokin’ hot.

          It’s for your own good.

          1. MikeS

            OK, fine. How about pics of Mrs. Tundra then, instead?

            Asking for a (holy) friend.

          2. Tundra

            I’m happy to send pics of the Pontiff to Tres.

            Good idea!

      3. Count Potato

        “Mrs. Tundra switched to coconut oil years ago and she’s smokin’ hot and healthy.”

        Pics or it didn’t happen.

  5. Not Adahn

    I’m assuming WebDom has already contacted Maggie McNeill? She’s has her own web presence sorted, but she know of others who need that service.

    1. SP

      She’s been doing this via word-of-mouth quite a while, but only recently started to have space for new clients since she went to an agency model, working with her equally discreet partner…whom you all know well.

      1. MikeS

        I knew it! It’s [redacted] isn’t it?!

    2. SP

      I should clarify that she also has a “regular” design biz, but has recently decided this industry needs more of her time and expertise after focus-grouping with some clients in this industry.

      1. mikey

        I think it’s cool that a service like this exists. Textbook case of the wonders of capitalism. What central planner could have ever thought this up?

  6. Sean

    Ugh…so much sugar…?

    You want sweet? Try some Mary Spender…https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gw6M8mmbhgI

    1. SP

      Confession time. I make it with much less sugar. We like fruit desserts to taste like the fruit.

      But, if I’m posting someone else’s recipe, I post it as written,

  7. This looks like peach pie with the filing and crunchy part of the crust and none of the rest of the nonsense. Which is pretty much how I eat pie anyway.

    1. SP

      Oh, you’d love my peach pie, too. (Not a euphemism.) I don’t do un-crisp pie crust.

    Re: Webdom’s service. I didn’t know that’s where the handle came from. Interesting as hell. I love this place!

    1. SP

      She wrote her first plain-vanilla-text-editor html website at age 8. Apple/trees, etc.

      1. Just Say’n

        I have no idea what that means, but I’m impressed. No joke. I can’t even link properly

        1. Tundra

          No shit.

        2. SP

          Give her a blank sheet of paper or text editor page and she can make you a website from scratch. I can’t imagine where she learned it.

          Hint: she was homeschooled. 😉

          1. pan fried wylie

            Give her a blank sheet of paper

            So, like, punch cards?

          2. Punch cards are not actually blank. They have registration marks and indecies so you can read them by eye without having to lug the deck over to the machine.

          3. Count Potato

            Oh you.

  10. OT – SP, I’ve been trying to figure out why the interface on Glibs acts like I’m logged out except with regards to the ability to post comments, or when I’m on the dashbord proper. I don’t get the bar across the top that lets me go to the dashbord or my account, and I’m lost. I have disabled adblock for this site and allow scripts here, so not sure what’s left.

    1. SP

      I shall investigate!

    2. straffinrun

      I’m missing the “# of new comments” button. Is that gone for a reason?

      1. I don’t think I know what you’re referencing. Where did this normally show up?

        1. straffinrun

          On the left side, above the arrows.

          1. I have literally never seen such a button on this site, just the arrows.

          2. straffinrun

            Really? It was quite useful.

          3. MikeS

            I’ve seen this with Monocle, on the bottom of the screen, but never as a WordPress feature.

          4. straffinrun

            Yes. It was a monocle feature.

          5. That explains why I’ve never seen it.

          6. MikeS

            Ah. That’s still there for me. Did you do any updates to your browser recently?

          7. straffinrun

            Must have. Reinstall it?

          8. MikeS

            Yeah, I’d give that a shot. Firefox recently did a major update. You’ll want to be sure Greasemonkey is up to date as well…if you have Firefox

    3. westernsloper

      I noticed this after I installed Monocle the other day. Which is very handy, thanks Trash! I am slow to new tech as well as buying new sneakers which I also need.

      1. I don’t have monocle installed. So it’s not from that at least.

    4. SP

      Just to let you know, OMWC says he has this issue now, too.

      I’ll get it sorted. Probably in the middle of the night so as not to inconvenience Glibs.

      1. okay. I wasn’t sure if it was local to me or not. Since I couldn’t sort it out on my end, I figured I’d bring it up.

  11. Tres Cool

    I’m watching Musk’s press conference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu7WJD8vpAQ
    So help me, he seems even more insane than usual.

    1. Heroic Mulatto

      Dude’s tweaking on meth. For real.

      1. Tundra

        The world is caving in on him. I’m not convinced that he isn’t stone cold sober.

    2. Rhywun

      Is that him speaking now?

      1. Rhywun

        Ah, there’s the bastard. Hm. Something does seem off.

    3. MikeS

      I’ve never actually see him speak for an extended period of time like that before. I’d be willing to cut him some slack here and assume he hates speaking in front of crowds, but maybe that isn’t true at all. He is definitely uncomfortable up there on the podium, for whatever reason.

    4. Count Potato

      1:44:14?

      I’ll pass.

  12. “She’s crazy busy finishing up websites for a couple new clients”

    So it’s not just a clever Glib handle. Not that it’s any of my business, but how did she get the idea to start building such websites?

    1. Count Potato

      Maybe she’s a domme who knows web design?

    2. SP

      Knew someone in the biz who needed a website, email list, and marketing help. Grew from there via the biz grapevine.

      1. CPRM

        I rescind my previous advances, working with people of such ill content is disgusting *starts looking for work in network TV, changes mind*

        1. But you didn’t tell us if it was any good.

          1. RAHeinlein

            I drank much while there, and have several bottles here. Yeah, it’s good.

          2. straffinrun

        Do you want relaxing times, bitch?

      3. Gustave Lytton

        Whisky.

        1. MikeS

          Good catch. Whiskey is made in Scotland.

          1. Gustave Lytton

            Other way round, I think. Whisky is made in Scotland as well. Whiskey is American (possibly Canadian).

          2. Gustave Lytton
          3. MikeS

            Yes, of course you are right. I brain-farted and had it backwards.

    3. Tundra

      Interested.

      Thanks, straffin.

    4. MikeS

      Very cool place to camp. Was there a lot of “neighbors”?

      Also, I really need to get me some Suntory

      1. straffinrun

        Sure. Car camping. I would hate it if it were in the states, but Japanese people are masters at existing in close proximity (* 1910~45 not included) You don’t even notice them. Low end Suntory is gross. High end is deadly delicious. That Chita is a higher end Suntory.

    5. Tres Cool

      We would LOVE to see a post on this!

    7. westernsloper

      Still love the grill apparatus and the tea kettle. I recently “legally” acquired a tank of sorts that I am not sure of its prior use (it came off a truck so I think it is an air tank but has very big fittings which confuses me) that will become a new fire box for my pizza oven. A mod I have been putting off for months and months.

      1. straffinrun

        Cool. One of the guys on the trip with us is making a pizza oven. He’s a master carpenter and a shitty pizza maker, so I’m a bit torn. Last time, he put mayo and tuna on his pizza. Shivers.

        1. MikeS

          I threw up a little in my mouth.

        2. Mayo and tuna might go together, but not on pizza.

          1. MikeS

            Yeah, it tastes good on bread. And it’s a great poor-college-kid meal.

          2. SP

            Mayo goes with NOTHING!

          3. This may be an irreperable schism.

          4. SP

            I’m not sure I’ll have time to investigate your issue.

            *sigh*

        3. Heroic Mulatto

          East Asian pizza topping taste justified the dropping of atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

          1. Heroic Mulatto

            I’ll never forget going to Pizza Hut in Bangkok and seeing them proudly advertise “Tuna Tatare” pizza.

          2. straffinrun

            Don’t tell me what the sauce was on that. Nasty. The one that makes me violate the NAP is teriaki sauce on pizza.

          3. westernsloper

            Kenya is not that bad but close. Ordered a pizza at a place in that mall the terrorists terrorized in Nairobi some years ago. (prior to the terror) and asked for the normal meats. Wait dude asked if we wanted any vegetables on it. Sure we said, throw some veges on there. It arrived with pepperoni, sausage, ham, canned corn, peas, green beans, pretty much any vegetable except spinach that comes in a can.

          4. SP

    2. Chafed

      That was good.

  15. Curse you Heraldry!

    The banner for one of the factions in “Prince of the North Tower” has three Hippocampi on it, only if used in a heraldric context, a Hippocampus is a realistic seahorse, while the term sea-horse indicates a Hippocampus. And none of this is talking about the part of the brain of the same name.

    Perhaps I’ll just change it to actual seahorses, say they’re seahorses and let the heraldry snobs put hippocampi on there.

    1. Rhywun

      I sometimes get trapped in a flags/heraldry vortex on wikipedia and that lingo they use is something else.

      1. I keep getting torn between heraldric accuracy and describing it so that the average reader knows what it looks like.

        Who is going to be able to tell at a glance what “An Or Glib, rampant regardant on chrvronny, azure and gules” means?

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          Me?

          Except “chrvronny” – is that just medieval French for “chevron”?

          1. It describes a pattern of chevron-shaped stripes.

          2. Count Potato

            They make the best gasoline.

            It’s also the best shape for female pubic hair, besides a bare floor.

      2. For more contemporary demonstrations, it can be fun to look up military crests or ships ie. http://www.combatindex.com/hardware/detail/sea/ddg93_data.html

        Supporters:The crossed officer sword and enlisted cutlass represent the leadership, professional excellence, and teamwork in the face of great challenges that beget honor and virtue.

        The Shield: Dark blue and gold are colors traditionally used by the Navy and recall the sea and excellence. Red is the color of zeal, courage and sacrifice. The trident and three tines represent maritime dominance from the combination of air, surface and undersea warfare technologies into a single AEGIS platform. The octagon shield shape alludes to the AEGIS configuration on a DDG. The ship’s namesake honors Navy Rear Admiral Gordon P. Chung-Hoon, recipient of the Navy Cross and Silver Star, for his conspicuous gallantry and extraordinary heroism as Commanding Officer of the Sigsbee, DD 502. He valiantly kept his antiaircraft batteries delivering effective fire in the face of catastrophic damage by a Kamikaze.

        The Crest: The Hawaiian warrior helmet refers to Hawaii, Rear Admiral Chung-Hoon’s birthplace, and emphasizes the fighting spirit. The anchor commemorates his distinguished Navy career. The palm wreath symbolizes victory and the triumph of the human spirit

        Motto: ” Imua e na Koa Kai” (Hawaiian for “Go Forward Sea Warriors”)

        I think there are official sites that list it all in the formal language you’re describing, but can’t recall the links offhand.

      It’s fun guessing what their SAT scores were.

      1. straffinrun

        Disclaimer: Probably higher than mine, but I was higher than them when I took it.

        1. Rhywun

          I was stone cold sober when I took mine. *kicks pebble*

          1. Don’t worry, the tests are actually not a very good measure of anything but your ability to take tests.

          2. straffinrun

            My guess is that it sorts pretty well according to IQ.

          3. Heroic Mulatto

            My guess is that it sorts pretty well according to IQ.

            Not for 30 years at least. In part, the popularity of SAT prep courses has harmed the test validity of the SAT so much so that no one considers it a valid psychometric instrument anymore. What it does measure is scholastic achievement, meaning how much school “stuff” do you remember.

          4. People prep for those things?

          5. straffinrun

            There was no need for me to follow the evolution of the test over the years since I took it. If they steered it towards learned knowledge instead of problem solving, that is one big own goal.

          6. CPRM

            I’m with UCS here.

          7. Heroic Mulatto

            People prep for those things?

            Indeed they do. It’s a gazillion dollar industry.

          8. straffinrun

            A bit of pushback. I’m not up on this stuff, but this is what I’ve read before. https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2011/12/04/why-should-sats-matter/the-sat-is-a-good-intelligence-test

          9. It’s the NYT. Not a credible source.

          10. straffinrun

            Jordan Peterson says the same thing.

          11. straffinrun

            Here’s a study saying that there is a .82 correlation btw SAT and g. Again, I’m just trying to figure this out. I don’t have a dog in the fight. https://www.psychologicalscience.org/pdf/ps/Frey.pdf?origin=publication_detail

          12. Rhywun

            Oh, I did pretty well. I’ve always been really good at taking tests.

          13. SP

            Word.

            My nearly-photographic memory doesn’t hurt.

          14. I don’t actually know what ‘normal’ and ‘good’ ranges are

          15. SP

            Well, my perfect scores were a good start. 😉

          16. straffinrun

            When I took the level one Japanese proficiency test years ago, the test site was at a Japanese university. The desks had the flip down table tops. Basically, all of them designed for right handed midgets. This left handed 190cm white guy failed by 5 points. So about 2 questions out of hundreds. Aaargh. Had to take it again.

          17. Now you’ve got me wondering what the score distribution among Glibs is…

          18. MikeS

            Me too. I’ve always thought that this place was ripe for MENSA recruiting.

          19. CPRM

            I didn’t take SATs, just ACTs.

          20. For whatever reason, I took both tests – and did better (proportionally) on the ACT.

            I don’t think it’s possible to get an SAT score that is lower than a 36 in absolute value.

          21. straffinrun

            Just put me on the bottom. I’m not even kidding. Always loved hanging out with the dorks in high school and uni, but knew I wasn’t top 1% like them. One day at lunch in high school they actually did an intervention. “We need to talk to you about something.” Everyone got earnest and quite. “We’re worried about your future.” Fuck off. They all make much more than me today, but they sure as hell aren’t any happier.

          22. CPRM

            I fell asleep during my ACTs, and I was told the score I got was good. That’s about as much as I remember.

          23. I got a 35. If I told anyone their reaction would have been “But you’re a C Student”. Yup. I’m also lazy.

            I don’t think my college application asked for it. I know they wanted the SAT number though.

          24. SP

            I took both exams, too. Hedging my bets.

          25. CPRM

            I didn’t make any ‘bets’, my school councilor said ‘take the ACT to get into college’, so I took it, basically skipped the math part because I don’t like math and fell asleep at one point because I had worked late the night before. Got into my first and only choice of college and never gave it a second thought.

          26. I took both tests – applied to one school… with a hand-written essay that had a bootprint on it. Somehow they accepted me and I graduated.

          27. CPRM

            essay? You some kind of messican?

          28. straffinrun

            That’s why I like you CPRM. Nothing means less than a test I took 30 years ago, unless it was an HIV test.

          29. They required a form and an essay.

            I can’t tell you what I wrote about. It was a heap of BS. The fact that they accepted me with it hand-written in my illegible scrawl on a rumpled sheet of paper bearing a bootprint tells me no one read it.

          30. CPRM

            I never took a legit IQ test, but what strikes me as a poor model is the inclusion of time in the score. What does that have to do with intelligence? Because you can think fast doesn’t mean you can think correctly.

          31. egould310

            I took my SAT at Ball State University on a Saturday morning at 8am back in … gosh probably October 1985? My brother was an ATO at Ball State, and his fraternity had a giant blowout party the Friday before my exam. I stayed at the frat house that night and got pretty wasted. Still drunk when I took the SAT. Got an 1130. Good enough.

      2. Are we talking the 1600 scale or the 2400 scale?

        1. straffinrun

          Let’s go with 2400 and you can convert the 1600 scale. Please use a number 2 pencil and start…………..NOW!

          1. Crap.

            I didn’t prep for this.

            Come to think of it, I didn’t prep for either the SAT or ACT when I took them. It’s amazing how easy those tests were.

          2. trshmnstr

            Haha, I was in the transition group where they gave me both scores.

        2. Gustave Lytton

          Even with the older 1600, it’s been recentered at least once, maybe more.

      Ohhh, and when they don’t release them because they put American lives at risk, he will fire Rosenstein. Fun. Throw other log on the obstruction fire.

      @RRonwfox
      The only way these things put lives at risk is if they somehow implicate Hillary Clinton in a criminal activity.

  19. straffinrun

    SP, I was wondering if this would make for a good submission.

        1. straffinrun

          It’s in the URL. Okonomiyaki. Probably make it tonight since I drew kitchen duty

          1. The name didn’t really help, I had to look it up and I still don’t know what it is – so please write up an article.

          2. straffinrun

            Flour and egg based mixture with cabbage. Top it with pork, dried seaweed, Katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes), mayo and sauce. Cook on the hot plate like a pancake, flipping once. Popular Osaka food.

          3. Pad out the word count, add some more pictures and you’ve got an article.

          The bonito flakes would flutter on top from the rising warm air.

          1. straffinrun

            Looks great. Teppanyaki restaurant?

          2. Gustave Lytton

            Yes. A little disappointed that it came pretty much already cooked. Couple tables over got it made (or maybe they made it) in front of them.

          3. straffinrun

            Most restaurants that specialize in Okonomiyaki pretty much let you make the whole thing yourself. They just give you the flour and egg mix and you get to order whatever topping you want. You cook it yourself. It’s messy and that’s why a nice teppanyaki joint wouldn’t let you muck up the teppan.

          4. Gustave Lytton

            That makes sense.

          5. straffinrun

            If you get out here again, be sure to mention it. I know some great hole in the wall Okonomiyaki places. Cheap beer and Osaka food.

    1. Rhywun

      See, I remember Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy making the same kind of jokes and nothing else happened. People could talk shit about each other and it was all good. Now that we know exactly what today’s celebs think about the rest of America… the same exact joke comes across as snide and unfunny.

      You, sir, are no Richard Pryor.

    2. CPRM

      I bet a lot of them thank Jesus when they buy drugs from him. Hyoh!

  20. CPRM

    SP, just wanted to make sure you noticed my newest submission, get that shit scheduled, I’m way behind.

        Dude, do you even politics?

        1. mikey

          Is their a female GOP senator with the balls to to do that? That’s what they need. God knows none of the men have any.

          1. straffinrun

            Looks like Trump declassified the Carter Page FISA warrant to turn the story from Kavanaugh. Trump was holding this card to play when he needed it? I was wondering why he didn’t do it earlier.

  22. Count Potato

    The accusation is bullshit. I don’t mean that it’s incredible, in that the accuser can’t state the when, where, why, what and how. But that some vague whatever the fuck someone did when they were 17, over 30 years ago, is irrelevant.

  23. SP

    Whoever that ref is on Monday Night Football needs some kind of voice lessons. That’s just painful.

    1. Count Potato

      Is it worse than ESPN’s announcers?

      1. slumbrew

        It _was_ ESPN tonight – but they quickly jettisoned the prior crew. She was painful to listen to, and I’m not saying that (just) because I’m some shitlord. Someone accurately described that as “a D2 football game announcing crew”.

    On topic: raspberries are bullshit, as are every other segmented berries – fuck drupelets. That is all.

    (I hate the texture)

    1. CPRM

      To the contrary, the texture of the seeds in fresh raspberries ads a nice bite to an otherwise squishy product.

      1. slumbrew

        It’s not the seeds – I like those – it’s the individual segments give a weird mouthfeel I do not care for. Raspberry jam is fine (other than all the delicious, delicious carbs).

        1. CPRM

          So, you’re autistic? Ok. I accept you for who you are.

            No! I mean, not tested or anything.

            Store bought raspberries suck. The ones growing in my front yard are 100x better taste wise. Texture wise, they are what they are… the seeds are magnetically attracted to the crevices of my dental work.

    I’m fucking seething after hearing the audio from Norm MacDonald on The View. Pathetic. If the most iconoclastic comedians aren’t going to stand up to the bullies, no one will. Except the Trumps of the world? Huh, suddenly I get his appeal.

    1. Stinky Wizzleteats
    2. straffinrun

      To quote a great, great man:

      Let’s see how this works out. A little trashed at 2:38 pm. I’m on a camping trip with 6 families in the mountains of Yamanashi. The other families, including the wife and daughter, went off to the onsen for the afternoon and I resisted the arm twisting they used to get me to go with them. Whenever I go on trips with groups of Japanese people, I steal a half day or so to spend by myself and go on a long distance walk. On this trip, I decided to go off into the mountains behind the campsite with a liter of Stoli’s, a pen and paper and see what’s rattling around the noggin.
      The Norm McDonald uproar. This guy says that not every lying cunt should be believed. Shocking stuff. Maybe, just maybe, not every woman who claimed to get a cock stuffed in her mouth or got her tit squeezed is telling the truth. It’s better that ten innocent men get ass raped in prison than on comedian say the obvious?
      What is the purpose of comedy? In King Lear, the fool is the one person the King calls for when his sanity is dissipating. He has already banished his best advisor when the advisor told him the truth about his daughter. He has no one left to speak truth to power and somewhere in his mind he knew he needed someone to fill the role. So he repeatedly calls for his jester. A society that goes after the jester is a society that is primed to go full Robespierre.
      You say the wrong thing at the wrong time and some soy soaked labia is going to spill forth from society’s crotch and shoot it’s load all over your face. And you’ll like it. Try to wipe it off? Denier! You’re only choice is to let every skank that eagerly sucked dick in a desperate move to get daddy’s love to squat on your face, allowing the slurry ooze down your throat. You better have a fucking smile on your face while you’re at it.
      I don’t know the answer, and like everything Russian I’ve dealt with in my life, this bottle of Stoli’s is raising great questions and answering none.
      When I get back to the campsite, the humans with cocks will be tending the fire and cooking meat and the humans with pussies will be fucking around in the makeshift kitchen. I’ll be drinking my single malt by the fire and thinking about Norm. God fucking bless you.
