We named a dog Basil. One day the Biker neighbor and I were talking and he thought it was great that we had the balls to name a dog asshole. Harley riding ruined his hearing I guess.

It says “In GGd We Trust”, but never says which one. Perhaps we are looking to the wrong one. Maybe Bacchus would be a better choice, Loki seems more likely, because if God put Trump in the White house, Loki the trickster sure seems to be the one to do it.

I went with a friend to see it when it came out in the theater, we worked as assistant managers at different Pier 1"s we cheered when the store was trashed in the movie.

I worked for Pier 1 in the 70's, I miss the aroma. You walked in and were assaulted with a strong cinnamon aroma from the 12 bags of San Fransisco Bay Brand cinnamon spice tea that were in the middle of our 6000 square foot store. I was part of an experiment, a 1000 square foot Tropical fish department which they…

I feel sorry for you having to live off retail spices. Some of the staples I skim from work are Roasted onion and garlic powders or granules. Those give a wonderful caramelized flavor. Hydrolyzed proteins to give hearty roasted flavors to anything, modified starches to give a variety of textures, and specific granulati…

My biggest problem is the statement you lose a ton of money once you drive it off the lot. Shit, recently the shortest time I’ve owned a new car for is 10 years. Loss of value only matters if you are going to change your mind every couple of years. My son got sold the buy used concept from my Brother in law (who sold…

A few companies I have worked for did back ups every few months coinciding with Windows updates, so they already have your personal items you put on your device. Another disabled local saving and everything saved went to corporate cloud servers, you were compromised the moment you saved anything personal. So, if you…

I will agree, somewhat. There is a thing called swine sex odor, boars and heavy . sows sex hormones can be tasted by about 5-10% of humans. When I smell meat cooking from these animals has an acrid aroma, to me, others don’t notice it. The flavor is horrible to me, a horrible off taste, un noticed by most.. Much of…

The only thing important is the melting and setting point of the oil. Certain fractions of Palm oil or clarified butter should work as well. You could even try beef tallow or lard. the key is having a melting point below body temperature, otherwise the coating will have a waxy texture. Liquid oil won’t work it has to…

Holy Fuck! that includes me and my kids. Well maybe not our ancestors were white.

It’s nice he has found a role outside of the White House. How else would we know which POS companies and products we shouldn’t patronize.

That’s the problem with family. Equally annoying is the after party clean up where you find a half dozen cans of partially drunk beverages and you know its all from the same person who forget where they laid down their drink. 

and they are hardworking and reliable. I wouldn’t even call him an asshole, my life would be miserable without my asshole, without Donny it would be better. 

One ting I have noticed as i have gone about the US, Chicago Pizza guys go heavy on toppings. Other areas seem to scrimp, and New Yorkers like their foldable slices of tomatoes and cheese. Chicago tavern pizza is pretty overfilled cmpared to other places, the Mushrooms in the stock photo are pretty typical

There are some lower born people who will take slices of pizza, eat the center and leave the crusts on their plate like a stack of bones. Then when you point out the center slices don’t have a crust, they say they don’t want to get their fingers greasy. And then to make things worse they ignore the begging dogs and…

To violate his ethics, they would have paid taxes and not taken money

not really they would be a lot lower to the ground  because fat people can’t get into them without a ladder.

No, but they have a word for it.

Read about the Winter War. Fought the Soviet Union to a standstill, losing a little territory in the peace agreement, but made the Soviets so fearful of them that they did not try to take them over after the Nazi collapse.

Here is my alternative recipe, similar in flavor to Barri and Buona in Chicago. I’ll keep the recipe to a 1 LB meat.
