  1. I've never heard a discouraging word about a Pro Jr.
  2. Depends which one. The 50s tweeds are pretty rare if I recall correctly. There's a 5f4 on Reverb with a $13k ask, which is nuts. I've got a Clark Penrose (Tweed Super Clone), and once I figured how the treble knob was basically like a drive/gain knob, I've really have enjoyed it. The early 60s "Brown" Supers seem to be pretty close to the new ones in price (I know this is the one we're talking about, harmonic tremolo and all)

    When I first watched the video, I questioned whether he was wearing pants. Glad to see I was wrong on that score.
  4. The harmonic tremolo on the originals was really special. Hopefully, they got it right on the reissue.

    When our older son was in the same boat, we got him a Fluance RT81. I think it has a preamp, but we just gave him an older amp we had lying around with a phono input. It's been a good table for him and has survived college so far.
  6. Similar story. I was working and I hear some dude walking down the street behind our office saying some weird shit. I look out the window in time to see a guy with a plastic bag from the nearby convenience store. The thing is loaded with 40s of malt liquor. Predictably it breaks and one bottle falls to the pavement and shatters. The dude loses his shit and proceeds to smash the rest of them on the street while yelling shit that would make Red Foxx blush. Foolishly, I did not get my phone out in time to record his tantrum.
  7. Not possible. She was with me.
  8. Ah, the no-no square. First reference on Surly I've seen to it. Am I correct in assuming you were, at one point in time, a prosecutor?
  9. And John Mulaney because . . . somebody has to say grace.
  10. Seeing one of my parents' handwriting on anything is such a great nostalgia jolt. I was laughing the other day about the fact that over the years, my mom emailed me copies of her Thanksgiving dressing recipe. She apparently had two versions, one of which was derived from the other. But I have them both in my recipe file. The one I use calls for one cup of onions. The alternate recipe calls for eight onions. That one is labeled "not the recipe but saved for posterity's sake."
  11. That slight is sure to make for a long rant on Texags about how mistreated he was.
  12. Anytime I step outside for a minute.
  13. Undefeated Season on the side of aggy stadium in 3-2- . . .
  14. Poooraggy!

  16. I'll see your offsides and raise you a blatant pass interference.

    It's a crime that this thread is so far down the page today.
  18. Drippings and milled vegetables from that process seriously elevate gravy.
  19. It has a water pan? But I think what you're asking would be best answered by saying it will fit a sheet pan, and shelves easily can be removed to accommodate taller pans. I'm still playing with dial temperature vs thermostat temperature. But it exceeded expectations on the super bowl of cooking.
  20. Hit it out of the park this year.
  21. Thanksgiving MVP goes to our new warming oven. Not having to time everything and getting to sit outside and feed the smoker while drinking bloody Marys is the only way I want to do Thanksgiving from now on. Yeah, I should have washed the racks so it didn't fill our garage full of smoke. But it worked itself out.
  22. My smoker doesn't sit perfectly level on my deck, and I had butter sizzling in the bottom near the fire box (the drain is on the other end). No plywood to be found, so I improvised. Need to remember to put the drain bucket of butter up before the dogs are left out here unsupervised.
  23. Beef cheeks, if you can find them. 4 hours on the smoke, and 6--8 hours in beef tallow/butter in the crock pot.
  24. They've got a promo through Sunday. $2.99 per month for 12 months (with ads). I jumped back on.
