    Are japs free with dollar dogs in Hou? I didn’t ask last time up here, but they only had ketchup/mustard/BBQ sauce/relish/onions on the stands. 

    They're in the regular condiment bars, which everyone uses.

    edit: one day i brought my own brown mustard and i'm tempted to bring a pouch of sauerkraut.

    I don't get the appeal of keeping it in water since it does nothing but add to the upkeep costs.  If you want it in "water" for appearance sake only, sink the ship into land with only a pond around it with a few inches of water. you could even put a small barrier up so that the pond water isn't even touching the sides.

    If you really want it closer to where people are at, take it up the ship channel as close to downtown as possible.  It would be badass to have it in near EADO but I assume the bridges on buffalo bayou would prevent that.  Have lunch at Ninfas and walk over to the battleship.  Visitors always want to find something to do in Houston, and a old battleship close to downtown will pull visitors in.  

     

    park it at allen's landing and every time it floods it can float down main street. 

  3. I'm a fan of oatmeal when done right. Done wrong using instant or quick oats with nasty artificial flavoring and it's gross. Seriously America, how can you fuck up something so gawd damn simple?
    Steel cut oats, slow cooked. I top with granola, dried fruit, and fruit compote.
    Same way we fuck up everything else: a strong preference for cheapness and convenience over taste and healthiness.
  4. I have a health screening on Friday morning.  So I am on no alcohol, no sugar, no dairy and basically healthy for the week so I can pass.  I am very surly.  Come Friday though I am going to be a big case of fuck it all.
    3 hot dogs 2 taquitos and 1 nachos with extra chili, cheese, and jalapenos from a gas station?

    Shit I'm gonna cook soon:

    I recently got my hands on 20lbs of cooked crawfish, left over from a boil on Saturday.  I've pealed them all (and ate a bunch) and what I have left is about 2.5  lbs of meat and 6 lbs of heads for stock.  What should I do with it?  It's fully cooked  (not par cooked like you get when you just buy tails), so I want to be careful not not to turn it in to rubber.  I'll document, but need ideas.

    Someone posted crawfish eggrolls on Shaggy that I made that were glorious. No idea where the recipe is over there but it's worth looking in to.

    I have a regular Chase Sapphire, considering upgrading to the Preferred to get rental car coverage as I travel a good bit for work and have trips to Germany and Scotland coming in the next year.  Worth it for the Reserve or not?  Or should I close the CS and then open a CSP/CSR?  Also have a Chase Freedom in the wallet already, generally I'm trying to stick to United as my better half already has a companion pass and more SW points than we can use.

    Advice?

    assuming you're opening a new account rather than trying to convert (to get the sign up bonus), reserve ends up being net $55 more annual fee than preferred, and for that $55 you get lounge access/restaurant credits, 3x points on restaurants/travel instead of 2x, and 1.5x point value instead of 1.25x.  go to two airport restaurants (or drink enough in a lounge) and you've already gotten that $55 out of the way.

    I was buttfucking my fiancé in the shower and slipped and fell.  I'm not sure I'd categorize that as embarrassing.  

     when you come out of the closet it's best to come all the way out.

  8. CRS says tax cuts were pretty much useless.

    Quote

    In 2018, gross domestic product (GDP) grew at 2.9%, about the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO’s) projected rate published in 2017 before the tax cut. On the whole, the growth effects tend to show a relatively small (if any) first-year effect on the economy. Although growth rates cannot indicate the tax cut’s effects on GDP, they tend to rule out very large effects particularly in the short run. Although investment grew significantly, the growth patterns for different types of assets do not appear to be consistent with the direction and size of the supply-side incentive effects one would expect from the tax changes. This potential outcome may raise questions about how much longer-run growth will result from the tax revision.
