I’d give a lot right now for a big box of Church’s Fried Chicken.

Fried chicken During the bad old days of Covid shutdowns, Fay was whining about not having had any KFC original in a very long time. The next time I ventured into Houston I scheduled a stop at a Katy KFC on the way out of town. I bought the largest bucket you can buy and some potatoes and gravy. I… Read more »

Re: The congressional staffer with the Crazy Eyes

Jack Nicholson directed a pretty bad sequel to Chinatown entitled Two Jakes, which I watched last night.

In a cameo appearance, Tom Waits plays a plainclothes policeman and has a single, memorable line of dialogue…

(Waits) ”We got a vice officer who swears you approached him and fondled his privates in the men’s room.”

(Nicholson) “How was it for you?”

#14 GJT, yup Longmire was a real good show. My wife keeps thinking they’ll somehow make a squeal.

#38 We just watched that on Laura Ingram’s show! She mentioned the Crazy Eyes. FWIW; We had tuned into Watter’s show and the recording starts about 3 minutes early so we caught the tail end of the Ingram Angle. It was worth it BTW. Wife was cracking up. 😉

Sad day today. I know it’s a very old show but I finally got interested in Longmire. Watched the final episode today.

Well muh Sweetie is not feeling well today and she requested air fryer wings so that’s what she gets. And yeah, takes four batches when you include fries and onion rings.

Re: drumsticks -I’ve been wanting to try that method of cutting thru the leg length wise and laying it out flat kind of like spatchcock style.

34 timtom 450F. Spread evenly on baking sheet in oven. Cook for about 30min if they were thawed, 50-60min if frozen. Check them when it starts getting close. Air fryers are ok, but they lack volume. You can legit only cook a dozen or so at a time only if you have the auxiliary rack you can put in it.… Read more »

Tom Waits makes the woman in the background of this video look almost normal, but you cannot avoid the crazy eyes.

Watch this video in the US House of Representatives.  

There are already zombie staff members of the Democratic House members.

#32, Not a hint of rain here—again. Got clouds here now, but they are mostly white.  Earlier this afternoon we had several views of darker clouds here and there wherever some rain fell, but nowhere near us.  Sidewalk and driveway concrete was untouched. Sprinklers came on overnight and helped the yards and flowerbeds soak in water.  That ought to keep… Read more »

I figured out the real roots of the prohibition on foods derived from the swine among some of the Children of Abraham. Some have postulated that it had to do with ailments resulting from undercooked pork. I, your humble correspondent, have developed another theory. Way back, before Abraham was even a glimmer in the Big Guy’s (the REAL Big Guy,… Read more »

April 9, 2023 was the first time I ever saw Billy cat. He is still afraid of me, although he understands that I am bringing him a bowl of cat food, and he wants it. I have fed him from 1 to 3 times per day ever since, but he still can’t let me get closer than 4 or 5… Read more »

I noticed how the new kitty scratching pad I got at PetSmart was being hogged by the 2 big boys Lynx and Matsuo. The smaller cats weren’t getting any chance at it. Well, then I remembered that I used to always stock the cardboard scratching pads for the 2 Cat Claws holders I’ve had for decades. I went to the… Read more »

The national media just discovered that it gets hot in Phoenix in the summer.

Tedtam @ 12:08 PM I’ve followed Mark Pulliam since before he retired from the law in California and moved back to Austin where he took on some of the sleaziest, wealthiest players in Texas politics, certain UT-Austin alumni dedicated to running the school, or at least the admissions department, like their personal playpen.  He was a loud voice defending UT… Read more »

I’m a fan of Chris Bray’s substack.com columns titled, Tell Me How This Ends. The grim machine of political purges makes brutal depravity tedious. Commissar X, Commissar Y, and Commissar Z run the Committee to Kill Wrongthinkers; then, and you always see this coming, Commissar X, Commissar Y, and Commissar Z are declared to be wrongthinkers, and are tossed on… Read more »

The New York Times is now quietly admitting that the death toll from Covid-19 was overcounted by at least a third. Buried in the 17th paragraph of a newsletter titled “A Positive COVID Milestone” by David Leonhardt, a former Washington bureau chief for the outlet wrote: “The official number is probably an exaggeration because it includes some people who had [the]… Read more »

GJT I can’t speak for them, but the guy who wrote the movie based it on a true story.  It’s already 2 hours and 15 minutes long (lengthy for typical movies today) so I figure they didn’t have the time to try and encompass much else regarding the wider child-trafficking reality. The best thing is there is a broad group… Read more »

Our postal service is horrible here. We have centrally located mailboxes and it is a constant problem mail getting mixed up or not delivered at all even though the notices clearly say they were. Happened just last week to us.

I predict that the rousing success of SoF will represent several nails in the coffin of The House of Mouse.

My only comment on the movie was didn’t understand they didn’t focus much on this going on in the US, setting was mostly Columbia. For budget reasons I suppose, Hollywood strong arming? Haven’t heard the MS media mention it, but I would think that would lead to the excuse – “Well this was third world stuff, nothing to see here…”… Read more »

We mailed payments to Verizon and a credit card account on Thursday, July 11th, on the same day at the same local post office.  Both payments were mailed at least 10 days in advance of the due date. It’s been 13 days and both vendors have emailed notices the bills haven’t been paid.  This is the second or third time… Read more »

Regarding the shenanigans against Sound if Freedom:  Do I have this correct; those that are opposed to the movie are buying up all the tickets so that no one can see it? This will enrich those that produced the film, and increase the likelihood that more people will see it because more theater owners will keep it longer to sell… Read more »

I can’t vouch for Saturday’s Sound of Freedom audiences, but yesterday’s afternoon theater was packed full, we had to sit in the back row.

This was at the newer Xscape theater near The Woodlands. My first time there, nice reclining seats and incredible sound and video systems.

RE: My #10 / Craftsman Tools This is when the CEO and all senior management should be fired. Former workers said inventory accumulated at the factory. Scheffer said that when top executives and board members visited, he and his colleagues were told to rearrange bins of unfinished sockets so they would be less noticeable. “There was a lot of fanfare,… Read more »
