  1. When I lived in Chicago the suburbs would be inundated with Cicadas every 12 years or so. My work buddy (Nebraska alum. Haha. Loser) said his little dog would go outside to piss/shit every morning and gorge on cicadas because they pretty much covered every surface, everywhere. He stopped feeding the dog for like 6 weeks. The dog's shits were nothing but legs and wings. I don't think my buddy ate any cicadas, even though he's a bugeater. Weird.
  2. Fuck. I just realized I'm less than 10 years away from qualifying for this community. Would shotgunning beers and blasting Slayer shirtless in the front yard be frowned upon in this sexy swinging seniors scene? Because I still do that from time to time.
  3. That's about what Worthy's gonna get on Saturday. Would be 700 without the drops.
  4. Haven't seen a formal cause of death issued. Footage was grainy but I didn't see some wild haymaker. Too many people for the victim to bang his head on the concrete. He apparently got up after being hit and then collapsed after and died. Seems more likely he died from cardiac arrest than being punched. But what the fuck do I know.
  5. You can pick up a "Live, Laugh, Love" sign for your kitchen and "It's Wine O'Clock Somewhere" sign for your bar! Just be sure to get there early. They go fast.
  6. I like that they think $50k is some insurmountable amount of money that they can't overcome.
  7. That movie hasn't aged well from a cultural sensitivity perspective.
  8. his 2004-era faux hawk would make him extra aerodynamic.
  9. If you assume the top 32 players are ranked as 5-stars, On3 also has Ellis Davis a 30 overall, which would give Tech two five-star players (as ranked by On3). However, they have him ranked WAAAAAAY higher than everyone else. 247 has him at 245 and ESPN and Rivals don't rank him nationally.
  10. I remember the draft talking heads mentioning that Zach Evans was a 5-star back coming out of high school when the Rams took him in the 6th round this year. They also talked about his "inconsistency" and insinuated he had a shit attitude. Basically they only mention it when a 5-star guy gets drafted toward the end of the draft so they can insinuate there might be some additional value taking a guy that had high athletic upside coming out of high school.
  11. Would definitely double up on Delanie and mom.
  12. Like this? "Guys, we've basically had the same record the last two seasons. It's a wash. We're both headed in the same direction."
  13. On the one hand, yeah sure. But on the other hand, Fuck the Brocks.
  14. Adding a 5-star offensive tackle would be nice. It has worked out well with the last one we got.
  15. The Amarillo burger at Casino El Camino has diced serranoes and either the hotness of the peppers, or the amount the cooks put on the burger, varies wildly. Sometimes it's perfect. Sometimes it's borderline inedible. But fuck that's a good burger when they hit the heat sweet spot.
  16. The spin will be that 10 of our former players were talented enough to make an NFL roster but didn't develop at Texas enough to get drafted.
  17. Could have been before the reinstated the camping ban. It was WAAAAAAY worse back then. But the ban's been back in place for at least a year, so I'm not sure that a lack of outdoor seating due to meddling homeless can be blamed for the restaurant shuttering.
  18. Gotcha. And nothing. But if I'm eating bakery shit for dinner, I'm eating kolaches and pie.
  19. Cool. Another expensive Tex-Mex brunch spot for moms that want to get day drunk. My wife will be thrilled at least. Perhaps I'm misreading, but Quack's (which is great) isn't an alternative to HPB&G. It's a bakery. Not a restaurant. Why would anyone who wants dinner to go Quack's. While the homeless situation over there is sketchy, I'm guessing they stopped servicing the patio because it's a-hundred-and-fuck degrees outside every day. There are usually a handful of homeless people camped out under the 71 underpass (until the city makes them pack up their shit once a week), but you don't see them wandering around the strip center. I like that HPB&G. I ate there a few weeks ago before going to a movie in the same center. I didn't go often, but when I did go I generally enjoyed the food. But it was always pretty empty.
  20. You could make a fermented table sauce. You dilute the heat of the peppers with other ingredients, allowing to flavors of the peppers to still shine through, but not blow your asshole open. I made a hot sauce with like 10 habaneros, two large sweet Mediterranean peppers, a half a pineapple, some ginger and some garlic and it turned out fantastic. It's a great way to bring out the flavors of a pepper that's practically too hot. I did make a version with two ghost peppers and a bunch of red jalapenos but, to be honest, it came out a little too hot for me (and everyone else I've given some to). I still use it, but sparingly. Instead you could make a version with a handful of ghost peppers, some milder red peppers, oranges or pineapple, and whatever other shit you want to throw in there. Making table sauce is about the only thing I've been able to do with peppers that are spicier than serranos.
  21. Of course the team with a staff that includes a guy that killed a kid, an adulterer, and a racist asshole wins out on “church”. Unreal.
