Does alcohol still count?

Also I’ve used turkey stock for a risotto before, and it was surprisingly good.

You’re lucky with the leftovers. I threw a Friendsgiving for some grad students this year and cooked a boatload. We’re talking two turkeys alone here. I foolishly thought I’d have a bunch of leftovers, forgetting I was cooking free food for a bunch of broke grad students. There was absolutely nothing leftover.

I work in academic economics, and with the exception of Robert Topel, the people that signed that letter didn’t include anyone I’d ever heard of.

A number of journals are going for click-baity shit like this, at least in social sciences. Even PNAS published that “himmicanes” paper claiming to show that people are more likely to evacuate if a hurricane has a male name.

I ended up seeing it 3 times, once in Spanish, a language I don’t speak. Only other movie I’ve done that with recently is Pacific Rim which isn’t a great movie, but if there’s any movie that needs to be seen in theaters, it’s a movie about giant robots fighting giant monsters.

I come from a long line of drunks on both sides of my family. They’ve all done some pretty horrid shit in their time, but as far as I know, it has never led them to, say, jack it into a potted plant.

Please please please let there not be any allegations against Desus & Mero. I need some nice things.

I was thinking more Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald as played by a high school cover band

Wilensky’s comes to mind, where they charge you for not getting mustard on your sandwich.

That ‘Mucci is one outrageous dude. He’s totally in my face.

Oh, for sure. I remember kids from from Clinton would come to Waterville for a big night out.

My grandpa always used “diction” as his go-to euphemism. As in “Dolly Parton has great diction.” You mean boobs, grandpa, we get it.

I honestly can’t remember the last time someone used that.

Watch “It Might Get Loud.” Jimmy Page tears shit up, Jack White rocks out on a Coke bottle slide guitar in rural Tennessee, and “The Edge” spends his whole bit talking about how he really doesn’t do anything, he just has a bunch of pedals.

The Pogues???

Grew up in Waterville, origin of our current idiot governor.

I’ve posted this before, but I have a colleague who moved to Canada a few months ago because he couldn’t bring his wife and kid over from Iran. This guy has 2 PhDs, and won some kind of national Iranian science competition. And we basically kicked him out. Fucking ridiculous.

I’m also from Maine! And you’re completely right. When I was in high school, the Olive Garden in Augusta opened. We couldn’t get in for 4 months, it was so busy. And this is the state capital. And an Olive Garden.

A couple years ago, I had a bunch of airline points that were expiring. Not having many options, I spent them on an official Margaritaville margarita machine. It shreds the ice, mixes, AND is battery powered, for a drunk on the move.
