YES, that's "Regretta".

So anyways... I was thinking.....

Vodka is not for meditating on. It's for drinking. And it will wipe that slate of ugly images clean so give it a chance. Vodka loves you, at least for tonight.

Personally, I wouldn't pair oysters with scotch; I think they're a better fit with the stark blank alcoholiness of vodka. But, hey, if it works for you, go for it.

This is the funny thing about oysters. Because they are native to damn near everywhere, everyone thinks their experience of oysters is The One True Experience Of Oysters. And, everyone is wrong.

Slip a shucked oyster into tall shot glass with one and a half to two ounces of frozen vodka and a dash of Tobasco. Slurp it down. Repeat until you run out of oysters, or vodka.

You have not truly experienced the raw oyster until you have eaten on the dock in south Louisiana.

I think the problem is with the delivery of the "joke", that's one of those jokes us white people tell to our best friend or father in law behind closed doors.

Best I can do: This isn't a great photo of him (smartphone camera in a dark hotel lobby), but here is Albert at the Gawker Media holiday party.

Nothing about the perfect game? Not that it makes him worthy of a HOF vote, but isn't it at least worth mentioning?

It's definitely not a sport.

Make Hangouts your primary texting app and group texting will work fine.

The way that iOS does this is with MMS messaging. I'm personally not a fan of it, because it's like sending an email and everybody can only hit reply all. Sliding Messaging Pro has this feature available in the settings if you want to try it out.

if you move to using Hangouts, group texting and sending pics/videos is MUCH better

The welders in work with are making around $8k a week. A good welder on a big industrial job makes almost as much as the person in charge of the project. I'm a pipefitter and make more then the engineers.

At the power plant where I used to work, welders were some of the most highly paid people on the plant site. If the assigned system engineer was fairly junior, and the welder was moderately senior, the welder could make twice the engineer's salary at the end of the year. The few benefits I saw to being an engineer at…

But not everyone's cut out to be a civil engineer. It's better to go to welding school than to waste two years of college and then go to welding school.
