  1. I wouldn’t be so sure of that. If he’s alive in ‘28, he’ll be on the ballot.
  2. I know this is a cast iron discussion but maybe y'all can help. I need to replace my All Clad non-stick 10-inch pan and skillet. The pan got too hot without anything in it one time and has a weird haze to it. I haven't used it much since but I'm sure I'm slowly poisoning myself every time I do use it. The skillet is even worse. I'm interested in carbon steel but there's lots of choices out there. And they get spendy. My next door neighbor is a fantastic cook and he just replaces his non-stick pans from Costco every year. That's not usually how I roll.
  3. Big Thief was fantastic at The Bomb Factory last night. Playing Austin tonight. I'd highly encourage y'all to go check it out. Adrienne Lenker is awesome.
  4. Adjust that to within the last year or two and that's today's sad story in my world. Mrs. C-Man had to point that out to me. (Never learned because I'd never really messed up loading the goddamn toaster and Pop Tarts are for children.)
  5. If I remember the story from my FIL, Lodge started getting "bumpy" when they started coating them while hanging from the handle on hooks above the ground. I'll have to ask him. (He's done several cast iron talks to his various professional groups -- Rotary Club, Retired Dentist Associations, etc.) Lodge also bought out Wagner and Griswold during WW2???
  6. Sent this link to my FIL the other day: https://www.facebook.com/castironchirs/reels/ https://www.facebook.com/share/r/17iAcVQTSM/ https://castironchris.com/
  7. Smithey pans look great but way too expensive. Put in the time and find the vintage stuff from Wagner or Griswold. There used to be a great online retailer who sold it but she closed up shop a few years ago. It was called The Panhanlder or something like that. Have several Wagner cast iron pans of various sizes as well as a deeper CI pan/pot for frying chicken. My FIL is one. He's got dozens and dozens of cast iron pan cookware. He doesn't use it. It's displayed in his wild game trophy room. I'm getting the good shit when he passes. He's already gifted me a few things. Find some vintage stuff -- Wagner or Griswold. The original Lodge cast-iron was smooth. I have a Lodge pan from my ex-wife's grandmother that my current father-in-law brought back from the dead. It's a smooth Lodge that is over 100 years. My FIL probably has well over 50 pieces of cast iron cookware that he's collected over the years.
  8. Heather Cox Richardson quoted Aaron Rupar in her report yesterday (or the day before) that Rupar said somebody should ask Johnson in the next scrum: "Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it’s problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?”
  9. Inwood Village? That's right down the street from my house but I've never been.
  10. He's completely lost his mind. Trump tells military to prepare for 'action' against Islamist militants in Nigeria https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cev18jy21w7o
  11. For those of you who fly United.
  12. Horrible calls in our game today too.
  13. Florida got jobbed
  14. Yep. It’s a catch.
  15. Bobo’s Halloween costume
  16. FIFY
  17. Also true
  18. Harrison Ford Blasts Donald Trump Over Attacks on Climate Change: ‘I Don’t Know of a Greater Criminal in History’ and ‘It Scares the S— Out of Me’ Han Solo gets it: https://variety.com/2025/film/news/harrison-ford-trump-climate-change-attacks-1236566748/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR4HPosIyqZ_HV7WST1Q6Bew72ZYIszxXyj_d4F9YZ1NywVRdCUEAqfnOosP9g_aem_aJvcILwdtuufy6Qr0pPI1w
  19. I said that. (In fact, you quoted it. [emoji1787])
  20. Sorry, already posted
  21. Think they played decent-sized arenas in KC and STL right before the Las Colinas show. Kevin Morby posted this pic on his FB page (think this was STL -- might be the Blues arena): This was the first show we've been to at Toyota Music Center in Las Colinas where the lawn seating was available. That place holds 8000 with the lawn. Neither My Morning Jacket or Wilco used the "open" configuration with the lawn. We were in Pit but it appeared the lawn was pretty well populated. That thought crossed my mind. Would love to see them at RR.
  22. This MAGA Voter On SNAP Asked To Borrow Grocery Money From Their Mother-In-Law, And You Won't Believe Her Response https://apple.news/AYe_OFoAvS0SZo7WVwuxn5A (Sorry for Apple News. It’s from Buzz Feed. I’ll see if I can find another link.)
