The North Koreans have been trained since birth to believe that the South Koreans are the literal devil.

“The government lies to the outside world. The government lies to the people. The press lies to the people. The people lie to each other. The tour guides lie to tourists. It’s intense.

Whereas the Clintonistas prefer the Super-predatory blacks, amirite? After all, they can keep ‘em on the plantation of welfare and keep ‘em voting for at least 200 years!

See? I can make stupid, hate-mongering posts too!

Nah, California came through big. If California had simply voted for her in the same proportions as the other Blue states, the Pop Vote would have been a tie. If you take Cali out of the voting completely, Trump won the Pop vote. Cali literally accounted for every single popular vote needed to put Hillary over the…

You realize that you won’t be forced to read her book, right?

If it’s REALLY a tell-all, and not a puff piece, I’d probably buy the book. She’s the only remotely sympathetic character to come out of the Hillary Clinton campaign, IMHO. I really do feel for her having to deal with that sex-addict of a husband. Of course, she loses sympathy points if she is in fact back with the…

We had a little hooplah down in Texas a few years ago. The San Antonio police pulled over a semi and other vehicles that had been rigged up to look like something from “The Road Warrior.” Apparently they were a driving up to San Antonio from Boerne to watch a “Mad Max” marathon at the Alamo Drafthouse, and decided to…

It’s like Cilantro for me: A little goes a LOOOONG way.

Love me some Nuoc Mam. I have an Asian market by the house, and have to convince them to put a little tub of the stuff in when I buy Cha Gio (Egg rolls).

If you have a Sprouts nearby, you can get Daiya frozen pizza. It’s dairy free “cheeze” and isn’t bad. (It’s also Gluten Free)

I have 3 of the 5.

Other go-to’s:
Sun Dried tomato paste in a toothpaste-like tube
Anchovy Paste
Real bacon bits, or just bacon to be cooked on demand
Dried shitake mushrooms (Re-constitute, use mushrooms AND water)

All of these are great to add a little umami to the meal.

Don’t buy anything IoT. Until the manufacturers shore up their security in a major way. As it stands, it’s the Internet of Things... to be hacked.

Ever had Vietnamese coffee? Cafe Su Da? Talk about sweet!

Why not? You are.

Oh, and you being a douche? Not an assumption. That’s fact as pure as the driven snow.

Yeah, but it was for my sister’s momentary happiness. :D

Yes, because no one ever gets frustrated, right?

Nice try? Don’t be a douche. I put out a possibility, but apparently you feel the need to be smugly superior for no real reason, except that you’re being a douche.

We have a 100 yen store here in Texas (Yeah, a Japanese “dollar store, essentially) called Daiso. They have something similar to smarties, but they’re more powdery. Pretty good, though!

Kinder eggs are a thing my sister likes. More out of sentimentality than taste. She spent 4 of her childhood years in Germany, and remembers them fondly. We took some back to her from our last Canadian trip, but they didn’t fare too well on the plane. (They were more like Kinder blobs than eggs by the time we got home)

…

Well in all fairness, you guys are the master of the queue. In fact, you’ll queue up even when you don’t need to!

Never move to Texas. We’d simply kill you with our outgoing friendliness. :D

My wife came from Indiana, and was troubled with the fact that Texans would simply start talking to her out of the blue. We’re a state of extroverts, and try our best to live up to our motto. (The Friendly State. Tejas means friend, by the…

I had something similar happen one Black Friday. I was in the electronics store (Frys) and it was a madhouse. I was looking over my ad paper when an attractive Vietnamese lady came up beside me, took my arm like I was her boyfriend, read the paper with me for about 3 minutes, then finished and said “Thank you,” and…
