  1. From AAS:

    Prado ended his presentation and departed, which angered parents and victims’ relatives who demanded that he return.

    Prado returned and sat down, wearing his cowboy hat, and did not answer questions from the families.

    “Have the decency to take off your cowboy hat,” said one family member, calling on Prado to do it out of respect for the dead children.

    Prado kept the hat on and his head down.

  2. Forgot about this. Philly cheesesteak taco on my son’s “slightly” used plate featuring leftover fries and tots.

    Here’s a breakfast sandwich as a means of making up for my tardiness in posting the first offering.

    That guy looks 40.

    I grew up in the shadow of Lubbock, as in one of the roads in Lubbock is named after the town I grew up in about 50 minutes south.  I very happily left there and only went back for family until family moved away.  Hadn't been back in years until my dad died last year and wanted to have his funeral back in that town.  Now that he's gone, I'm not sure I'll ever go back, and just the thought of that makes me happy.

    Mac Davis song - Happiness is Lubbock in my Rear View Mirror - with the appropriate strikeouts for accuracy.

     

    … I was just fifteen and out of control lost to James Dean and rock and roll
    I knew down deep in my country soul that I had to get away
    Hollywood was a lady in red who danced in my dreams as I tossed in bed
    I knew I'd wind up in jail or dead if I have to stay
    I thought happiness was Lubbock Texas in my rearview mirror
    My mama kept calling me home but I just did not want to hear her
    And the vision was getting clearer in my dream
    So I let out one night in June stoned on the glow of the Texas moon
    Humming an old Buddy Holly tune called Peggy Sue (pretty, pretty Peggy Sue)
    With my favorite jeans and a cheap guitar I ran off chasing a distant star
    If Buddy Holly could make it that far then I figured I could too
    I thought happiness was Lubbock Texas in my rearview mirror
    My mama kept calling me home but I just did not want to hear her
    And the vision was getting clearer in my dream
    But the Hollywood moon didn't smile the same old smile that I?d grown up with
    The lady in red just wanted my last dime
    And I cried myself to sleep at night too dumb to run too scared to fight
    And too proud to admit it at the time
    So I got me some gigs on Saturday night not much more than orchestrated fights
    I'd come home drunk and I tried to write but the words came out all wrong
    Hell bent and bound for a wasted youth too much gin and not enough vermouth
    And no one to teach me to seek the truth before I put an end to this song
    I still thought happiness was Lubbock Texas in my rearview mirror
    My mama kept calling me home but I just could not, would not hear her
    And the vision was getting clearer in my dream
    Well I thank God each and every day for giving me the music and the words to say
    I'd never had made it any other way he was my only friend
    Now I sleep a little better each night and when I look in the mirror in the morning light
    The man I see was both wrong and right he's going home again
    I guessed happiness was Lubbock Texas in my rearview mirror
    But now happiness was Lubbock Texas growing nearer and dearer
    And the vision was getting clearer in my dream
    And I think I finally know just what it means
    And when I die you can bury me in Lubbock Texas in my jeans

    You a Cub?

    The concept sounds @Steel Shank worthy, but the idea of getting it at KFC makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

    It's definitely a situational thing. On one hand, I can see myself eschewing their offering, but then upon further recollection of past experiences, I would eat the shit out of it.
