For the record, Thousand Island dressing has garlic, onions, and vinegar in it. It is not fry sauce.

Thousand Island is also nasty. Now that I mention it, all of these sauces sound incredibly nasty.

Mayo Curry and related Mayo based sauces with french fries (frites) in Belgium are awesome. So is brownsauce in Scotland. |

Specifically, Edinburgh chippy brownsauce. If you're in Glasgow get pakora with pink mint sauce. If you're in the North of England get chips and gravy. If you're in the South of England well who gives a shit, I dunno some poncy crap that Jamie Oliver's squeezed out of an orifice at £65/bottle. |

Don't forget to add a dash of Pitzman's Mustard, Quality since 1832.

I think most of that shit is shit, too, but not brown sauce. I loves me some brown sauce.
I had no idea what fry sauce was until I read this thread. Bleh.

My wife tried a pig ear from the Big Apple Inn here. She liked it at first, but as the thing cools, she said you kind of start to get the idea that you are eating an ear and it loses its luster.

I had to look that up, and...yeah, it's exactly what's in the name. A sandwich. Made from a pig's ear.
I'm not sure how it could be tasty - not much but flesh and cartilage in an ear.

It's honestly better than it sounds. The Big Apple Inn is the place for it in Jackson as Haemish said. They do a sausage version if you're squeamish but it's worth a try in your life. Actually the best weird pig item I've ever had is snouts done BBQ style. I've had them in St. Louis and they are freaking awesome. |

I've tried weirder stuff, but this sounds like it would require me to actually go to Jackson, MS...sorry, Haemish.
edit: derp, state abbreviations.

I dont like ears or snouts, but more than both of those I fucking HATE bacon made from the face of the pig.

Meh, no need to apologize to me (though MI is the state abbreviation for Michigan - Mississippi is MS).  I like Jackson well enough but it's a town with crumbling infrastructure because the tax base fled to the burbs, and once you get past the burbs, it's a goddamn rural wasteland that is a literal time machine going about 20-30 years back, only with Fox News beamed into every home. |

I did get a Subaru Crosstrek for a rental car so my jaunting around will be less limited by mass transit. Waiting for the ski bus up to the canyon now.
How do you like driving that car? I found them fun but a bit gutless. So now that I have driven it for a week including up into the canyon to the ski areas a couple times I can say that I like the car and could see myself potentially buying one if I actually move somewhere near the mountains. I never felt that it was too underpowered, it handled the climb up a 23% grade road on Antelope Island with no issue. It doesn't have the zing that my GTI has, but it is responsive enough that I didn't mind. The CVT definitely takes a bit of getting used to. |

GTI is awesome. I had to get rid of my Golf R and I so regret it.

Stanley the duck has readapted to outside life, but still pushes in through the door occasionally to visit the cats.

Your last three page contributions are fantastic. I especially enjoy how at the end of the story the duck is now named and comes over for visits. It's been a wild ride.

Short video in the useless video thread. I'll try to get some pictures of the duck acting up tomorrow. He had some tub time today while I cleaned up his area of the back deck. Ducks poop alot.

I enjoyed the Crosstrek test drive quite a bit and was hoping my fiancee would buy one. I was also pushing her for a GTI when she was looking to finalize her decision after picking a Golf as the winner. Ah, well. Her Golf is perfect for her, so hey.
Today I went into my still kinda new studio I carved out of my tiny den and totally zoned out into awesome art land. I'm wicked happy about it. Probably two more sessions to finish the drawing, but it's nice to just walk in, put on some music and start drawing. Also killing my gaming time, no tears shed.

I though the Crosstrek was kind of wimpy. Granted, it was probably the best rental car I ever got lucky enough to drive (fear the Nissan Versa), but it struggled on stretches of getting to/from and around the Oregon coast. I've really gotten some shit rentals to think back on it. One even had a check engine light come on while we were 3 hours from civilization.  |

That's why I drive an FJ, not a tiny AWD/4WD.
I have no idea what I'm going to next, now that the FJ is discontinued.

Wife and I got dim sum. It was pretty good.
No gifts. This is an off year. 2016 deserves no gifts.
I wanted to gift her the means of production but white evangelicals decided they were just too anxious to gift wrap it in time.
