  1. why do hispanic folks commonly name their kid Jesus, but white folks don't?* *i mean, at least as far as I can see
  2. why do pistachios that come still in the shell, that you peel and shell yourself taste exponentially better than the ones that come pre-shelled?
  3. fuck that. anyone who entered the building that day without authorization should be executed for treason. there was really no such thing as someone unknowingly, or mostly innocently following the crowd in. it was obvious that the building was being overtaken by force. those who let others do the heavy lifting (and assaulting and killing people including law enforcement in the process) and then supporting them by following them in to disrupt the process does not diminish their culpability IMO.
  4. that list being: 1. all Republicans end of list
  5. all of those things and amazing levels of dishonesty. the one constant among all Republican elected officials, voters, and supporters is that they are fundamentally dishonest.
  6. the former President, and the guy with an approval rating in the mid to high 90s among Republicans.
  7. and the tens of millions of scumbags who vote for and support them
  8. i was in the candy aisle at the convenience store the other day and thought to myself, I have never eaten one of these, nor have i ever considered it, nor have i ever seen another person eat one, purchase one, have one in their possession, or mention it as something good. out of curiosity, i looked it up and it has been around for over 100 years. i guess i now (sorta) know one person on planet earth who has ever eaten a zero bar.
  9. indeed. gonna take a lot of rope to deal with everyone still voting Republican
  10. standard scoring with a few tweaks $100 entry league has been going for last 5 years - had a couple people drop out last year so we did it as an 8 team league. 1 of those dropped so we need 1 to make 8 teams, or 3 to make 10 teams PM if interested

    Dessert

    Clark's basque cake with house made cream cheese ice cream and cherry preserves is the best dessert in Austin
  12. heck yeah. find yourself a nice Lebanese girl and have her bring you home to meet the family and hope that mom or grandma makes some kibbeh nayeh as part of the spread. maybe you can get that at Lebanese stores or restaurants in bigger cities, dunno; never seen it in Austin outside of peoples homes.
  13. my dad made that too and called it slum gullion
  14. they have a wagyu ribeye frites on the dinner menu now. $65
  15. my dad made hot dog soup - which was a can of Campbell's tomato soup and a couple can's worth of milk as the broth, a can of corn, cubed potatoes, sauteed onions, and chopped up hot dogs. i asked him to make it when i went home to visit my folks well into my late 20s and maybe later. i don't make it for myself these days and my dad is too old to cook, but damn if it doesn't sound pretty good as i type it out now
  16. I made it through to the end, for which I have no one but myself to blame. bacon’s character and acting kept me watching, but the acting of the the ADA, his wife, bacon’s wife, and the community activist/mother of the two kids in the projects was all on par with a B-level daytime soap opera. a lot of the dialogue was crap too.
  17. cake? or death? oh, cake for me, please.
  18. hmmmm....that sounds like something from the lyrics of a Decemberists song
  19. there's all that, plus one of them was named Nigel. now, if it was an election for the House of Lords, or a seat at the Knights of the Round Table, I might have considered him, but given that it was for school board, and the fact that he seemed like the kind of candidate Trump would endorse, made that an easy decision for me.
  20. completely agree. way more Republicans need to suffer consequences. and by suffer consequences, I mean have their lives entirely ruined. and by way more, I mean all.
  21. its a damn shame that every single one of them wasn't mowed down by gunfire
