  1. I grew up on fideo seco: Brown the noodles along with some diced onion to sautee. Add 2 cups knorr chicken broth, cover and simmer till liquid is absorbed. Top with a melty cheese, like chihuahua or oaxaca or mennonita. Eat the whole damned thing, if you were teenage brisket. Didn't grow up poor (or rich), but my folks sure as hell grew up on the lean side. So lots of border struggle dishes were on the menu, at least when my mom (who went hungry as a kid sometimes) was fully in charge of the menu.
  2. Yeah. That's the point. Frijoles priced +40% are still muy cheap. And at .50 a box....even +40% on fideo is just fine.
  3. You know a nice chunk of irony? When it all falls to shit, you wanna know who's gonna be among the most okay?
  4. Far West HEB is not underrated at all. It's perfectly rated. Higher-end, well-stocked, full of suburban yoga talent....but not as wide or adventurous a selection as other HEBs. In many ways, I prefer the Great Hills HEB for all of those factors. And for awesome, adventurous selection of groceries, the North Lamar and Rundberg location is fantastic. Caveat: I haven't been in a fight at any of them. Yet.
  5. This. Run somebody who the Dawg Pound would get behind. Even though they have also been behind this idiocy:
  6. Whatever, libtards. Only libtard soy boys eat veggies. CRY MORE, LIB!
  7. But also crystallizing and clarifying. It tells us the the Dems need to not run a woman for major political office again anytime soon (at least on a national level, or anywhere that tends even purple). Similar goes for minorities. Being a woman probably costs you 2-3 points in a typical election. In a 60-40 blue area, that's no big deal. In someplace where 2-3 points is a difference maker, it's everything. And being a minority costs you probably at least a point or two. Lesson: run a white male. It's a stupid lesson, but it's still a lesson. Kind of like how the most popular item on a buffet will be something pedestrian like mac and cheese or chicken nuggets. It's stupid and pathetic, but if you want happy diners....keep those trays full.
  8. If they were, this is what they look like today...
  9. Akita. Whorns. Fence. Sausage. Fin.
  10. It's the third umlaut in Klötted Blööd Piss that always throws me off.
  11. Well, first, the more apt analog is a gherkin.....
  12. Well, yeah. He's a Republican. It's literally their foundational value.
  13. No, you fucking moron. "Clotted Blood Piss" is the name of the demo EP that ESOPHAGOGASTRODUODENOSCOPY, BOTOX INJECTION AND DIILATION released back in 2019 on an independent label. Production quality is crap, but you can tell they've got something going on.
  14. On a separate note of how grand things are going in Trump's America, I was in Maine a coupla weeks ago, and in the downeast coastal area, most of the shops had a sign prominently displayed in their window to the effect of "we welcome our canadian friends!" Don't think it matters much if they aren't there to read it.... I know this is shocking, but when the leader of Country A tells Country B repeatedly "fuck your sovereignty, you need to be a possession of Country A," the citizens of Country B don't take it very well, and tend to want to not associate with Country A anymore. When said rhetoric was for no good fucking reason at all, it's even more maddening. But, you know, winning and all that. Making America Great by destroying hundreds/thousands of American businesses that depend on cross-border trade (a thing that businesses have been doing since the days of the fucking Silk Road, and before). Genius.
  15. The boy has two friends from university in the UK visiting. Today is their day to road trip down to SA to check things out. He's starting them out with lunch at his favorite place, Taquitos West Avenue:
  16. It's just a question of exactly when.
  17. "It's not biblical." Or some similar stupid shit like that. They are brainwashed into some fundagelical bullshit (irony of ironies: if we we were talking about muslim fundamentalist women who think the exact same thing, these gals would be standing there saying "yeah, what backwards barbarians").
  18. [gesturing generally towards everyone who posts on Surly]
  19. The irony is that these people are the ones who shout "IDENTITY POLITICS ARE BAD!"...and then vote primarily on identity politics. On the issues, and how they would actually like this country to work, Dem (and importantly, NOT GQP) policies match up best to their beliefs. But they just can't bring themselves to vote for a woman or minority, so.....goshdarnit, they just HAVE to vote for Trump, a classic white male shitbag. So. Fucking. Stupid. The people who hate "identity politics" vote based primarily on identity politics.
  20. Apparently, she's some sort of online personality (which includes a chapter of being a low-tier OnlyFans skank) sociopath. What a world.
  21. Fucking. Dumbass. They fucking TOLD you what they planned to do. They did it. To you. And NOW you are surprised and disappointed by the obvious, inevitable, and completely forecast consequence of your vote. I know, I know, that's the whole subject of this thread, but as much experience and perspective as I now have in life, I will never stop being surprised at how utterly stupid some people are.
  22. My life philosophy and goal is "when you think of Ballinger, think of me." I've found that setting very modest life goals helps with overall happiness.
  23. I get the beef rib when there are 4 or more of us sharing the tray of cue. Then we just slice it into pieces, so everyone gets a nice taste. Because yeah, it's so damned rich.
  24. More like the book for me.
  25. Select targets of ease early and often. But always keep your eye out for quality targets of opportunity. The funny thing is, by that approach, you'll usually end up doing much better than you deserve. My success rate with women above my standing/quality was pretty damned high. Because when I saw a shot at someone good, I took it. That doesn't mean I never closed a deal with someone lower on the scale -- that happened too. But the simple act of putting yourself out there and actively engaging doesn't just up your odds of success, it ups the quality of your success. I'm not sure what's wrong with young males today -- I'm confident it's a combo of 100 different things. But damn. Dudes. Shake off the doldrums and go chase some ass. And spend 5 minutes making yourself worthy to chase ass.
