Have you read the Divine Cities trilogy? Cause that is very close to the plot of the Divine Cities.

It was just McDonald’s tangy bbq mixed with McDonald’s sweet and sour with a dash of soy sauce. You are correct it was terrible. Also nothing ‘szechuan’ about it.

Listen I’m not trying to attack your heroes or get into a pissing contest on who’s the better grillmaster. I just don’t want you to look silly, posting marinades are useless on all corners of the internet. The article you linked, written by Meathead Goldwyn is a jumbled mess. A couple passages stand out:

Hmmph! I swear two years ago I couldn’t find them anywhere, except at ridiculous prices. I just checked Amazon, and 24 for 4 dollars like you said.

I’ve never meant another individual as jazzed about research as I.

While marinades are not the silver bullet of flavor espoused by hacks, they are far from useless for grilling meat.

Unfortunately the makers of paraffin cubes have gotten wise to the fact that you can charge out the ass for those things to ‘outdoor enthusiasts’. The kinds of people that need high performance gear to pull off an out-and-back are driving the price of humble paraffin up and up. If you can still get ‘em cheap, hoard…

“I’m sorry sir, I flunked flank!”

Writing music is definitely secondary to their guerrilla protest performances. I’m pretty sure they see themselves as more of a ‘troupe’ than a band.

You have no idea the comfort and versatility of scrubs. Same thing for chef’s pants.

Would you Compete guys be interested in covering Historical European Martial Arts? Longpoint just finished and the European events season is about to get into full swing.

Came down here to say this. Is Jezebel a shitty rag in the corner of the internet or is it a respectable female led publication?

In the books it is explained that Jeor Mormont joins the Night’s Watch as a way to honorably abdicate as lord of Bear Island. He wanted his son, Jorah, to enjoy being head of household while still in his prime. Jorah screws up this plan. Jeor is one of the very few actual purely good characters.

It’s an old timey game with millions of variants. Probably the most common variant: You draw a circle in the dirt. You and a competitor empty your marble bags into the middle of the circle. You have a pre-selected cue ball sort of marble that you shoot into the circle from a predetermined distance. Any marbles you…

Ah. A sensible position to take in regards to all SUVs. Drive with the dimensions of the vehicle in mind and a Bronco II is no more rollover prone than any other tall carryall. 

The fuck do you have against the Bronco II? They were actually ahead of their time. Badass little whip around if you could keep it maintained.

I feel your pain, amigo. People misunderstanding/misusing/overusing pithy quips, and treating them like proverbs taught directly from on high is very, very annoying.

If your child is well behaved they are welcome most anywhere.

Is it just me, or has the word ‘bucolic’ started popping up everywhere? What was once confined to the lexicons of shitty Truman Capote wannabes and dishonest realtors is now common parlance. Weird.

Did golf die after Tiger Woods had his career derailed? No, it just lost a little steam. Same thing here. Sometimes the most talented performers don’t turn into stars.
