I went to an event at Topgolf last year and the buffet they put out was brisket, mac and cheese, beans, injectable donut holes, and two kinds of cookies.  Delicious, but not exactly heart healthy.

Buddig has had 2 oz packages of lunch meat for as far back as I can remember.

Florida actually voted to ban offshore drilling last year - Amendment 9 banned offshore drilling and indoor vaping in one go.

In my part of Ohio, we always had hamloaf, which sounds like the same flavors, but in loaf form.  Never heard of ham balls, but I’d give them a shot!

Orlando: Cask and Larder in the Southwest terminal - local restaurant with both sit down and fast-service options. Zaza’s cuban in the other terminal.

Please note that there are much, much, much better restaurants in Orlando than Tijuana Flats and Mellow Mushroom (which is actually headquartered in Atlanta and is not specific in any way to Orlando). Excellent Vietnamese, high-level sushi, Chinese, and Italian food, and tons of great new American restaurants can be…

D’Annunzio’s pepperoni rolls are the only pepperoni rolls, and I cannot be told otherwise. Get thee to North View and buy some hot out of the oven next time you’re in Clarksburg.

“Bruno Mars: Worth a Listen?” might be the cover feature least likely to make me read a magazine.

The largest coal boom in the US was from 1880-1920. Carter supported coal, but it was already our predominant energy source well before that.

Also, priorities in a political party are allowed to shift over the course of 37 years. And they should shift, as science and technology provide new information and better…

I disagree with the fervor with which West Virginians support the coal industry, but it is helpful to realize that the reason they support those initiatives isn’t “so their 1% can have a fat bonus” - the 1% who benefit from the coal mines typically aren’t even West Virginians (obvious exceptions excluded, such as Gov.…

I believe that people who receive empathy from others will be more likely to be empathetic to others in the future, so if you want someone to change their attitude, you should model your actions towards them on the way you want them to behave. That said, I can understand the “get fucked” side of things, too. Neither…

Agreed, that’s the most shocking - people seem so normal and then say shit that’s just SO not ok. Like you said, they usually think they are being complimentary, which is baffling. I’ve found that they respond pretty well to someone just saying, “Oh, people don’t use words like that anymore. It’s pretty offensive.” If…

I never said it was ok; I agree that it is abhorrent. My point was that there is much more than that - it’s not angry white culture everywhere, there are a lot of people in WV who are accepting of people of all races and orientations. Unfortunately racism is an issue literally everywhere in this country, and is a more…

The governor is the owner of Bluestone Coal Corporation, Senator Joe Manchin sits on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee and supports coal above other energy resources, and Senator Shelley Moore Capito founded the Congressional Coal Caucus. The people who could help other industries move into the area won’t,…

Most of the people in the coal belt are familiar with government assistance; at the minimum, in the form of free school lunch (and breakfast, and sometimes snack). They don’t have a “fucking job” because the only jobs in their area are 1) mining coal 2) low level administrative jobs related to mining coal 3) retail…

When you’re struggling to put food on the table, it’s a little difficult to see the big picture. You just want your job back so you can pay your bills and make sure your kids have shoes that fit. I don’t see them lobbying for renewable energy jobs any time soon.

I went to school in WV and married a West Virginian, and it’s a place that holds a lot of meaning for us. In general, the people are hardworking, generous, and kind. The racism is a tough bullet to bite, but the frequency with which you encounter it will vary, depending on where you go. My husband and I would love to…

Have you looked into this guy? He’s the worst. (said as a Marshall alumna and spouse of a native West Virginian).

He’s actually pretty terrible, and was a registered Republican himself until 2014. He is also a billionaire with no regard for paying taxes or the environment. The similarities to Trump are unnerving.

While Twister is clearly a treasure, I think you misinterpreted the intention of the OP’s post. They were saying it as in “he only ever made movies better”.
