  1. Noel and Higgins are both absolute dogs. Enjoy! I was hoping like hell Noel would be a Viking
  2. God, I hope so. ISU plays CU this year and I would love to see a Jon Heacock defense abuse him
  3. Looks like we’re on deck come Monday
  4. No. But I married into a Norwegian family and I love that shit
  5. Come on, I didn’t vote for Trump.
  6. Yeah, I'm moderately liberal in a fairly conservative community and I've never shied away from my beliefs publicly. I hear people in political minorities on both sides claim a need to do that fairly often and I just don't quite get it. I'm not out there vociferously blasting my politics, but if someone asks me or engages me on the topic I'm honest about it. But it's probably easier for me because everything about my life would lead someone to think I was a Republican, and I'm not a small guy either, so I generally haven't had to worry about people fucking with me.
  7. 100%. Mayo is fine as an ingredient in something larger (deviled egg, potato salad, etc), or as a condiment if it's sufficiently flavored an applied as a light layer. Excess straight mayo is repugnant.
  8. TIL learned that people put mayo on fruit, and grown ass adults dislike raw onion. Life's wild.
  9. I don't think Mr. Riley managed to reach medicore.
  10. My friends don't cook like our grandmas did. The internet + major increases in the Latino and Southeast Asian populations in the Midwest have introduced seasoning to the old Germans, Norwegians, and Bohemians.
  11. Scramble it up with some eggs and make breakfast tacos/burritos. Pile up on some chips for nachos. Whatever. Mediocre brisket is still pretty delicious.
  12. Lone Star hits the fucking spot. I consider myself a connoisseur of regional cheap lagers, and for me Grain Belt and Lone Star are 1A and 1B nationally. I don't know that jello salads and kolaches are inherently Texan. Jello salad exists anywhere poor/cheap white people exist, and kolaches are everywhere the Czechs went. I live adjacent to a super Czech community in north Iowa and kolaches are basically a form of currency there. I always thought Texas BBQ was the most wildly overrated provincial bullshit out there, but then I went to a legit Texas BBQ joint and I realized I'd just had shitty Texas BBQ previously. The Texas method/style is absolutely my BBQ preference at this point in time. Even if I'm not cooking traditional Texas BBQ cuts, I gravitate to that general method. It is superior. Texas's dumbest food thing is the rigor of chili. Chili is a fucking canvas. Go nuts with it. It might suck ass, but it might be divine. Following some arcane rules can be kind of a fun challenge, but acting like anything outside of that "isn't chili" is silly AF.
  13. This honestly sounds like very similar in format to the Midwest redneck bbqs my buddies and I throw. The main difference is ours have a lot more venison, and weird pickled shit.
  14. St Paul's gonna be rowdy tomorrow.
  15. And it was a fine road treat. It just didn’t come close IMO to the kind of thing I fucking need when I’m in the vicinity. The way Whataburger once was, or boudin is.
  16. The only Allsups burrito I've had was from in Tucumcari at about 5 in the morning. Maybe it had just been sitting too long, but I thought it was just "good". Was expecting something on par with, say, boudin based on the way it's discussed here. I liked it, but the bar was set so high it had little chance but to disappoint. Wondered if there was some kind of recipe difference (as some chains are wont to do).
  17. Is there a difference between an Allsups burrito in Texas and an Allsups burrito in New Mexico?
  18. This was in Minneapolis heading there.
  19. My wife flies a lot for work and has TSA precheck, I fly about 2-3 times a year at max and don't. We went to NOLA back in January and I smoked her through the check in line.
  20. Did your kid moving there give you a soft spot?
  21. There's no way in hell the guy in that mug shot is Justin Blackmon, former OSU WR.
  22. I'm rooting for Winnipeg and Minnesota. I have a lot of family in/from Manitoba, and they just fucking bleed for that team. But they'll shit the bed cause that's what they do in the playoffs. Lots of friends are Wild fans. I came of age during that period where the was no team in Minnesota, so I became a default Chicago fan. I kinda tried to get into the Wild when they started, and they had that great run in 2003, but it just never stuck. I do generally like to see them do well, and usually root for Minneapolis based pro sports. The Wild just aren't as good as Vegas, and Minnesota pro sports choke on apple sauce. Of the actual contenders, I'd be cool with Ovi getting another Cup. I'd like to see Auston Matthews get one too, but the Leafs flaming out is never not funny.
  23. Must be good enough to keep it going. My guess is with it's cost structure it doesn't need much. I throw it on in the background if nothing else is on.
  24. Back in the day, no visit to Texas was complete without Whataburger. Today? Not so much.
