  1. The fact that the stock market has become an irrational meme-stock and utter speculation based investment is not a vindication of the completely speculative and irrational basis of crypto. It’s an indictment of both.
  2. Fuckin’ lawyers, man.
  3. Forever and ever amen. Perfection.
  4. As a certified dude, I have to observe that ā€œsaferā€ and ā€œmore funā€ are mutually exclusive concepts. I only shop in the ā€œstupid dangerous and fucking awesomeā€ section of the retail world.
  5. Hit fiesta the other day because I wanted sweetbreads for dinner. As I wandered the store (because one must see what treasures abound), I had to talk myself out of buying this: 28 lb cabeza for under $100. But then I realized it’s just the wife and me at home, and I’m the only one who would eat it. So…put it in the memory bank for a weekend when we have adventurous friends over.
  6. As just the wife and I will have a late Thanksgiving lunch out (Eddie V’s - gonna have oysters and whatnot), I made a little breakfast for myself. Found a place in Katy that has all kinds of traditional Brit and Scottish food. So, made a Scottish staple: a sausage roll, with square sausage (AKA, Lorne sausage…you make a raw sausage meatloaf, then slice it and fry the slices): And that will be my sole bit of cooking today.
  7. Seriously, she sounds almost rational there. It’s a platform that has broad appeal, across Dem, rep, and independent voter bases. You may not agree with all of it (and you may disagree with how she’d like to accomplish some of those goals), but it’s an actual ā€œserve the people and the republicā€ platform. Which is 180 degrees from what she helped build: a cult that serves a single mob family and those who curry favor with the mob boss, at the EXPENSE of the people and the Republic. He’s literally taking massive bribes from foreign powers, and openly looting the treasury (eg, he’s going to just hand $50 million taxpayer dollars to Michael Flynn to reward him for his loyalty to the Trump cause). And she built that. She was one of its architects. AND, as a bonus, she did so using hate as a tool, attacking the victims of school shootings, and demonizing the marginalized. So, she can still get fucked and burn in hell. She can never repent for what she has done. Forgiveness is for God. Vengeance is what we should trade in here on earth. Playing by the rules and practicing kindness has only enabled her kind of evil. Fuck that shit. A lifetime of suffering is what she deserves.
  8. I would be the most thankful person ever, at levels that have never been seen, with tears in my eyes, if someone came up to me today and said ā€œsir, he’s dead.ā€
  9. Saw him speak at UT a couple of years ago (with Lobo, RIP). He spoke on Ukraine, brilliantly.
  10. In the future Dictatorship of Brisketexan, he’d get the death penalty just for how he’s wearing that visor. No appeals, no reprieves.

    Brazil

    On the 1-10 scale of ā€œfunctioning democracy,ā€ Brasil is at a solid 7 these days. We’re in 3-and-falling-fast territory.

    Tex Mex

    Ahem. I am an asshole of Surly who shits on BOTH Torchy's and places that serve $10 duck confit tacos. Serve fucking real mexican food made by real mexicans who flip tortillas with their goddamned hands and charge the appropriate price. And this. Nixta's gimmick is "we make tortillas like literally 11,000 joints on every corner all over Mexico, and that makes us super special?" Fuck that. Decent fresh tortillas should be a goddamned baseline. And it's not that fucking hard, goddamned mexicans have been doing it for 1,000 fucking years. Sigh. In other words, it sounds EXACTLY like my gringa wife's kinda place. Because.... ....my wife is not a fan of Enchiladas Y Mas. I think it just strikes her as too "low rent." She prefers La Mancha (which is.....fine...okay food, but man, do we always run into West Austin gringos we know, which she enjoys), although I HAVE gotten her into El Nuevo Mexico at the end of Anderson where it hits Lamar. And I recommend it. Good mixed crowd (gringos for tex-mex, as well as real mexicans eating there), damned solid cheese enchiladas, and other stuff. My mexican handyman says their menudo is the real deal, so I'll be trying it soon. And apparently, their breakfasts are outstanding.
