  1. And, I mean…some chippie. Duh.
  2. Went to seven dials last night. Family secret: I am the eighth dial. And the fifth Beatle. And the first of the first among equals. Why did we go? To hit one of the daughter’s favorite restaurants, Pick & Cheese…it’s…a cheese restaurant. We hammered it. Then, we stopped for a chocolate at Knoop, and spotted this…mash restaurant. That’s what it is. And it looks interesting.
  3. Hit M&S for some things to bring home. Wandered up the seasoning aisle. No. Just no. HELL NO.
  4. Also…”OH MAKE SENSE.” Dunno what that means, but I dig it.
  5. In my daughter’s hood: I would eat there EVERY DAY. I mean…they have goat head. Do I know what dodo & gizzard is? No. Would I eat it? Hell yes. This joint seems compelling: Daughter informs us this is where her mates go for karaoke, she just cheers them on. And this place is awesome, with a soup Nazi vibe: “I’d like a medium beef and lamb wrap.” “No. You get a large chicken.” Ok. And it’s delicious, and makes for 2-3 meals.
  6. Counterpoint: she’s a Kentucky 8.
  7. I mean…that’s an evergreen post that works as a reply to pretty much every thread on this board….
  8. BING.. FUCKING....GO.
  9. Yeah, I recently read an article about it...but it was an old article talking about when they first opened. Had that in my brain. Still haven't ever been, because I naturally default to "I'll make it myself" when I want cajun food in this town.
  10. Yeah....for emphasis. Taking the position that "non-citizens" don't get due process is as ludicrous as saying "people guilty of a crime don't get due process." You can't tell which side of the line those people are on....until you make a determination....that can only be accomplished via....DUE PROCESS. Otherwise, all the admin has to do is unilterally declare that DalTx is not a citizen, nab him, toss him on a plane, and bury him at CECOT for the rest of his life. Arguing his position is as dumb as it fucking gets, but "as dumb as it fucking gets" is absolutely the name for our current timeline, so here we are.
  11. We miss Frank and Angies too - not 5 star, but solid and a great place for a casual dinner with friends. I hear good things about Sammies food....but the freaking prices are insane. Spaghetti with meatballs? $34. Lasagna? $38. Pasta dishes are all around 50% pricier than at North Italia. Dude. It's f'n spaghetti and meatballs. I had a nice plate of that at a real-deal Italian restaurant in Boston's North End a few weeks ago for $20 or so.
  12. Yeah....this is accurate. I enjoy Shoal Creek Saloon (their duck and sausage gumbo is legit), and Evangeline is ok. Never been to Louisiana Longhorn. There's a new French Quarter grill or something like that up north, lineage includes folks who cooked at Gumbos (which was always very good, but never great or super down-home authentic), and I've heard good things about it. Stuffed does real-deal fried seafood poboys, I recommend those. But to this day, the best gumbo, red beans and rice, and etouffee in this town are mine. Of course, I feel that way about most of the cajun places in Houston, too - I have a pretty high bar for cajun grub. Also, Andiamo is gone, folks. Shut down a coupla months ago. Austin italian, especially classic/east coast mid-range italian, is lacking.
  13. Young Brisketexan considered four priorities in his undergrad school: babes, partying, football, and a school with a decent reputation. In about that order....and #4 was a DISTANT fourth. Young Brisket generally thought with parts of his body other than his brain.
  14. Yes, but see, if you ignore the plain language of the Constitution, as well as 100+ years of consistent Supreme Court and appellate court jurisprudence, then it does NOT apply to non-citizens! Also, I am a strict constructionist of the Constitution and love it very very much! These fucking assholes.
  15. End of the Republic should do it. Problem is, there won’t be a republic to win elections in anymore, so it won’t matter.
  16. I don’t disagree with any of this take. It’s spot-on. The Schroder-Merkel entanglement with Russia was a massive miscalculation bordering on evil (and Schroder went all-in on sucking Russian dick). But what’s important here is that Sanna Marin loves me.
  17. You’re right. But here’s the thing: Bozo also isn’t wrong. A huge chunk of Trump voters actually favor universal healthcare. They just vote against their interests and actual policy preferences because they are idiots, shitty people, etc…and because the Dems can’t communicate for shit.
  18. I am lucky in that I was able to talk my parents through that phenomenon. It started in the email FWD:FWD:FWD: era. My mother would get an email about gangs flashing headlights, and AIDS needles in payphone coin returns and all that shit, and I'd gently explain that it was bullshit, citing sources (introduced mom to Snopes early on), and explained the phenomenon of the internet being a fountain of utter bullshit, and your FIRST instinct should be to assume all such stories are FALSE. It took a few years, but eventually, my mom turned into one of the people who would gently correct HER friends when they sent dumb bullshit to her. But again....I caught it and addressed it EARLY.
  19. Yep. Median IQ is (by definition) around 100. Think of how....not smart....people with a 100 IQ are. It's not great, folks.
  20. European state leaders have brought it SCRONG the past few years. Estonia, Finland (well, their last leader), Italy. If I could book that package for a vacation ("book our sexy time with European leaders package!"), hell, my wife might even let me book that trip. Throw in Germany's Annalena Baerbock (just elected president of the UN General Assembly....and newly single), and the euros are bringing smart, strong, attractive leadership energy. I'm here for it. Meanwhile, we are firmly locked in the "decaying octagenarian white male" leadership model. You can choose from among multiple imitations of the Cryptkeeper! F that.
  21. They best shut up. Loomer will win. Because she offers the two things that get Trump excited: insane, irrational hate, and complete fawning devotion to Trump. Remember, she has the president's ear, and wants to deport all 65 million hispanics in the US, legal status/citizenship be damned. She actually said so. And Trump is doing what she says.
  22. All he does is lie, as well. Nothing about success? There is LITERALLY a whole segment devoted to "American Enterprise" and the various ways that American business has supercharged the country and the world. But, I guess he has a point....there's probably not a wing devoted to crooked real estate developers and game show hosts and how they can con the American public, so....point made.
  23. I'm presuming the good Christian white folks in Leander, like this gal, largely voted GQP in all races. So, you get this result: https://www.kvue.com/article/news/education/schools/leander-knox-wiley-middle-school-bus-routes/269-cc22138a-f16f-4d8f-9ed6-9947e6953ec0 "Leander mom says her kids have a 40-minute walk home after being denied bus access As the new school year gets underway, some families are struggling to find a safe way for their kids to get to school and back." School funding slashed to the bone. As a result, schools cutting wherever they can, including bus service. Walk 40 minutes each way, little Timmy. Toughen up. Bootstraps and all that. I know, I know....all of these funding cuts/failure to fund are just to get back at all those durned freeloading illegals and whatnot....not us good Christian white folks!
  24. Yeah, Ashley. Those aren't your only two options. You've already engaged in sex for money. It's not like you'd be breaking new ground.
