    The Pentagon said Monday that it is investigating Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired US Navy captain, in light of ā€œserious allegations of misconductā€ the department has received against him, and could even recall him to active duty to face a court martial or administrative punishment.

    Pete Hegseth:Ā  "I'm going to hang Mark Kelly by a fucking yardarm!"

    Daniel Kaffee: "Yardarm? Sherby, does the Navy still hang people from yardarms?

    Lt. Sherby:Ā  "I don't think so."

    Daniel Kaffee:Ā  "Pete, Sherby doesn't think the Navy hangs people from yardarms anymore."

    It sure seems like the sole reason he holds the office is so that when he makes a dinner reservation, he can say it's for "CONGRESSMAN John Carter."Ā Ā 

    I just say it's for Abe Froman.Ā Ā

    I'm dry brining in the fridge for a few days in the hope to dry out the skin, then putting a compound butter under the skin, over the skin, and all zee way around.Ā Ā 

    Keller's recipe also calls for clarified butter, but looks like just over the skin.

    The aggys I know claim that A&M doesn't have any t-shirt fans

    I always thought the aggy comments on t-shirt fans was a complete lack of awareness.Ā  My former in-laws live in deep East Texas and I had to make the drive there a few times a year for family gatherings.Ā  I consistently saw folks wearing aggy shirts at gas stations who I was damned sure never set foot on a college campus as a student, let alone the one in College Station.

    Trying to explain it is almost impossible. I usually say that OU is a big rival. We dislike each other. The week before and after that game are actually affected by what happens. That said, Sooner students aren't that much different than Longhorn students or Tech students or any students. It's just a game. Other than those two weeks, it stays in the back of the mind.

    Aggies think we are genuinely evil and represent all that is bad in the world. They never cease obsessing on us and making embarrassing asses of themselves hissing when introduced to one. It happened to me in the workplace once. For us it's a game, for them it's a holy war around which they've invented myths and legends untethered from reality.

    It's also the fan behavior at the game that is such a stark difference from anything else I've experienced.

    Sure, we hate OU.Ā  But in all my times at the Cotton Bowl, they're really not that much different than Texas fans.Ā  Really passionate about the game, mostly non-threatening shit-talking with some drunk morons on both sides, no utterly goofy cheers or behavior.

    aggy's just fucking weird.Ā  Like J.D. Vance weird (#noCR).Ā  Weird cheers with weird vocabulary, much of it on the cringy side.Ā  There's really no fanbase that comes close that that kind of game-day behavior, and that uniqueness is nothing to be proud of.

    Make sure your fridge is free of the odors of other food though, because it'll absorb them.

    Good tip.Ā  Thanks, man.Ā  It'll be in a garage fridge where we mainly store beverages.

  7. Not doing anything particularly adventurous with my turkey this week, except I'm going to try a method in a Thomas Keller recipe that calls for air drying in the fridge after an overnight brine for 24 hours before roasting.Ā  It's supposed to produce a crispier skin.Ā  Anyone ever try that?

    I guess the second Mama Betty's (Burnet Road), which has been opening "next month" for about a year, is actually going to open this week.Ā  I'm not expecting much, but I imagine we'll give it a try.

    Anybody hit up the Burnet Road location yet?Ā  They look to be open full time but don't take reservations, and my wife and I were thinking about going one night this week.Ā  We've never been to the original location in Cedar Park.
