Lol @ Episode I of season 7 of Starget SG1.  Fucking star wars references all over the place.

I just ordered a Blu Ray burner for my PC.  I needed to share that here, because my wife doesn't seem to care or find it noteworthy in the least.

How much are discs now?

Righ might be correct, I haven't checked myself.  All I know is that it comes with one free disc that is being labeled as a $5 value.  Anyway, cost of the discs is secondary for me at the moment...I really just wanted a BD player and decided to go the extra mile for future proofing.  It is also an HD DVD player, which is sorta handy for me.

Edit:  Yeah, 5-10 bucks for BD-R and probably around 20 bucks for BD-RE.

You know what this site needs? Some bacon!

I've quit bacon. Nasty, nasty shit. Anything that causes that much of a mess while cooking it probably shouldn't be consumed.

Get a cookie sheet, put a layer of aluminum foil over it.  Place a wire rack on top of that.  Put bacon on wire rack.  Put bacon in 400 degree oven and check in 15 minutes. 

When it's at your desired crispiness level remove from oven let cool on rack and throw away foil.

Pretty much no mess, no effort and makes GREAT bacon.

Or buy a decent grease-cutting spray, some paper towels and shut the QQ.

Controlling it's nastiness is not escaping the fact that it simply is nasty. That's like sayin zombies ain't so bad if you quarantine them. No, zombies must die. And bacon probably shouldn't be eaten.

This isn't QQ. It's war. On bacon.

You've ventured into ridiculous. Slow day?

[stray]

well, i figured attacking bacon in and of itself is ridiculous around here 

[Sky]

I will stab you with a crispy bacon shiv!

[FatuousTwat]

Did you know you can make a prison shiv out of toothpaste and cardboard?

[stray]

you sure it isn't a toothbrush?

Melted cigarette filters are the way to go, hombre.

Y'know, I just noticed that in a short timespan, a russian tried to fuck a racoon, another russian grew a tree in his lung, a third russian went all lol i'm a polar bear, and a fourth russian was a hairdressing ninja that raped her robber.

Coincidence? I think not.

So a friend from college is getting married this coming weekend and a few months ago he asks me to be a groomsman.  I say sure.  Then I hear nothing from him concerning the wedding for months.  No save the date, no invitation, nothing.  Finally I shoot him an email asking what the deal is a couple weeks ago.  I need to know so my wife and I can make arrangements with work, book a hotel, figure out what we're going to do with our dog for the weekend.  No response.  Finally today he replies with directions (he lives in a different city) and says "sorry for the tardiness!!"  And now I can't go because of work obligations.

I should have expected this, as this is a guy who stopped paying his share of the rent in the apartment we shared, didn't work, and eventually dropped out of school.

I need new friends.

They were all in their late 20's/ early 30s too. The effects of Chernobyl are revealed once more.

8 O'clock Coffee and a French Press is the shit. Just simple and good. Now all I need is a carton of Lucky Strikes.

Is his name Jim?

Cos that sounds like my brother 

[Merusk]

Once again lending weight to the notion that friends aren't necessarily the people you like best, but the people who were in your life first.

Finally got that peppermint soda for which I'd been hankerin'. A little on the sweet side, but so good on a fussy tummy.

[Sky]

Your cravings should prove interesting, given your palate.

[voodoolily]

All I've been eating is fruit and trailer trash food: Frito pie, mac and cheese with ketchup, chili dogs with jalapeños, Spaghettio's, Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza, etc. It's really strange. Hoping it passes soon.

[Oban]

Frito pie?

[stray]

Don't tell me you don't know Frito Pie.

Damn, that just makes me feel more white trash than I really am.  Even a badly made Frito Pie is good, but check her blog.. that looks pretty damn tasty.

[Sky]

I didn't know 'bout it, looks like pimped nachos. Decided to check out the foodiness when I started thinking about VL's palate + food cravings. Should be an interesting year at the gilded blog...

I'm all nitrated out, binged this week on weiners: Nathan's beef franks, Hoffman Snappy Grillers (coneys) and  Cheddar Brats. I can't even think about eating a dog right now. Yes, I broke the grill out last weekend :)

Going to get back into shape with some proper grilling this weekend, hopefully.

[stray]

It's not really like Nachos. Fritos have got their own charm. 


This place is so white trash though that they used to serve it during school lunch. Came up on the menu every few weeks.

Hey, Voodoolily has a blog!

And it never was any good.  The school cafeteria really could fuck anything up.

Except peanut butter balls/blobs. The ones with the tiny chocolate chips and rice crisp. Given opportunity, I'd still eat 1 or 2 of those things.

Except the truck stop burritos (the yellow kind.. poor man's chimi). I've made a mental map of every place in town I can still get one.

I was listening to an NPR show yesterday about how nostalgia plays into taste... So I'm gonna say that's what accounts for my (sometimes very poor) taste.

Better still were the $.40 cookies that took one of those blobs, mushed it between two chocolate chip cookies and drizzled chocolate on top of it.  That and a "fiesta pizza" was the lunch staple of my 7th & 8th grade lunchroom table crew.
