Meh. Low and slow is how you make chops. Give me a grill, some wood chips, and about three hours and I’ll give you some of the juiciest chops you’ve ever had.

There are some nice museums in Kenosha. The Public Museum is down by the water, there’s a Civil War museum north of there as well along with a dino museum to the west a few blocks (ok, maybe a mile). If you’re going to make the trip to stare at lots that are either grass fields or condos you might as well stop off at…

It’s a big “Well, it depends...” If you’re somebody who frequents franchises on a regular basis I think the food will be a step up. If you’re a foodie who is always hunting for the Next Great Thing, you’ll probably leave disappointed. It’s rare that a meal is truly bad (unless a chef screwed something up when prepping…

The numbers match up with what I remember from my prior cruises (the wife and I enjoyed the “How to Run a Ship” and “How to Run a Floating Hotel” seminars). One thing to keep in mind, that 100 tones of food is for both the passengers and the crew. And on average a cruise ship will have 0.4-0.5 crew for every…

My rule of thumb is this: did I get a business card from the person I interviewed with? If I did, then I send the e-mail. In my experiences the primary gatekeepers in the interview process is the HR rep. Once I get past them (the initial phone interview) then the people I’m meeting with are from the department I’m…

Mixed message much? “I don’t want to work for your company, but hire me anyway.”

All the stars. All the motherfucking stars.

According to a PFT article, the first $5mil was due on Monday. Brown hasn’t gotten any of the bonus money yet. He’s also only gotten one game check. It’ll be interesting to see if Brown gets any more money from the Patriots, as well as what he’ll have to do in order to get it.

I was raised Catholic. Guilt trips simply do not work on me.

I’d dig up the Fry “Shocked” gif...but I’m just too lazy today. So you’ll need to use your imaginations.

Back in the 19th century there were companies who would ship their products to random people, then show up and demand payment. It got so bad that Congress got involved, passing the law that lets you keep the unordered merchandise you referenced.

Wing Stop beats out BWW every day of the week, and twice on Sundays. Why? My very awesome great-uncle sat in the nose of B-17s over Europe. Do I see pictures of B-17s in BWWs? No, I do not. But are they in every Wing Stop I’ve ever been to? Oh yeah.

Depending on the laws in your area it could be considered conversion.

If anybody could turn a concept into production without making a lot of changes it would be Audi. The TT concept and the TT production cars almost looked as if they were simply the kind of evolution you see in a model over time, rather than the accountants hacking away all sense of fun.

I had to dig deep in the recesses of IT obscurity to remember that Quattro Pro wasn’t the racing version of Audi’s famed drive train system.

When I’m about to add a second baby seat, but don’t want to have the MiL with us (that’s what the Odyssey is for).

As an aside, I read this one to my wife over the weekend. She got a good laugh out of it.

Name checks out.

If we ever meet in real life I want you to remember what you said. I’ll remember to bring a bucket.

I’m not that mean to my wife. Coming up on double-digit anniversaries and I still don’t want her to do my laundry. I mean, I know where it’s been and what’s it done.
