Exactly. It’s what I’ve always used in conversations and arguments... that the closer you live to bigger cities, usually the less racist you are. And, kind of by default, the more liberal you become. It’s these whites who live so isolated who are so afraid of things different than them. Grow up in any decent city, I…

I sure hope every white NRA gun supporter comes to this gentleman’s defense! Just why wouldn’t they?! /s

I still think it’s weird that gun supporters also support the police. I also think it’s weird that cops seem to support the 5th amendment. Wouldn’t it make it easier for cops to exert their will on us if NO ONE was…

This is hilarious.. one of my friends posted the video to our group chat saying he would eat the F outta that. And funny quips and barbs followed. But at no time did any one of us think it could be a trolling recipe! I gladly admit it seemed over the top, but it also seemed plausible. I would try it, but mainly…

Sweet Tarts are one of my favorite of the fruity candies, with Spree coming second. But let me be clear, I only like the hard ones. Those chewy soft ones are not satisfying. But yes, both Sweet and Tart are and should be equal. Good on them.

Are they using the premise for the show Person of Interest to detect potential threats? Because this is exactly what this sounds like. The government using all available technology to covertly record and assess every single conversation, text, behavior, etc. and figure out who is either in trouble or who is going to…

No I do not. I’ve partied way too hard to remember trivial things like that!

I mean.. Ok, so I “graduated” the same year with the main cast of Bayside High (was it 92 or 93?) and watched pretty much every episode. I also watched Saturday morning cartoons well longer than most kids my age, but I digress. Even though I couldn’t at the time, I can now clearly see that Zack Morris is Trash - the…

I like spam (I make a mean Rotel+Spam MacNCheese) and I love pumpkin pie spice too (I always thought it should actually have hints of pumpkin in it too) and, dare I say, I think I would try this. I would not use it in the aforementioned MacNCheese, but I DO think it would be good fried up crispy and added to French…

This! I recently moved to a spot with a ton of fast-food or sit-down restaurants within a mile of my place and right the frick across the street is a Panda Express.. I love me some Chinese from the actual take-out places, and I do consider myself an adventurous eater, but sometimes, man, sometimes I just have a craving…

Assorted musings:

I think I want to try that “Burger Beer” in the header image. I would imagine it’s the best beer to pair with a hamburger, right?

That would’ve been perfect!

First they came for my “goddams”, but I did not speak out- because I am not religious.
Then they came for my “shits”, and I did not speak out- because shit isn’t even a bad word anymore.
Finally they came for my “fucks”- and there were no more bad words to speak...

I want to use this now. With permission, of course. Because I subconsciously think this way whenever I hear a headline, even though I am one without color too. Mass shooter? Bet he white. Betty White. Love it.

Honestly, I turn the channel when watching sports on tv. But that’s because I get cringy feelings thinking someone could mess up and I don’t want to see it. But also because I just don’t see the point of it for sporting events. It’s freaking SPORTS! Not a battle for our nation’s independence. I mean, do they want it…

How are we to distinguish good guys open-carrying from evil guys wanting to shoot up the place? This. This is why the idea of open-carrying (or owning guns in general, but that’s another argument) is completely idiotic. There are FB posts where gun supporters STILL think that they are ok with encountering a guy with…

I am a huge fan of remixes of songs thatI liked growing up. Probably puts me in the minority here. U2's War is a fave of mine and I like this version. Now I’m off to look up what else is out there. 

This is very true. I guess? I mean, obviously I didn’t work out all of the details of this never-going-to-happen scenario, so it really doesn’t matter, sadly. But good point. Maybe it won’t be exactly like car insurance then, just somewhat similar. 

Life long Kansas Citian here and BBQ is king. Most here are the traditional KC style: brisket, burnt ends, usually a sauce more on the sweet side. But there’s just so dang much of it everywhere! And, although there are varying degrees of quality, I, with my lower quality palate, LIKE. THEM. ALL! I feel lucky.

None of the candidates would admit to this, and I assume they know more than me, but one thing is to treat guns like cars, with all of the similar types of licensing/re-registering. If the gun is a certain type of gun, then maybe it would be similar to owning a different type of auto, meaning different classes of…
