Filefishes and boxfishes and seahorses and pufferfishes are the best weirdos in the ocean. :D

"They're making jackets out of Pygmy leather? That's horrible!"

"Calm down. No Pygmies were harmed in the manufacture of these fine jackets..."

Get me two tickets for your first concert! I just love Weinberg. (Really) I'll be glad to play along on harmonica or any of my five recorders.

To have a filefish as a pet

Would be my greatest wish

But if I tried to catch one

The worm might eat the fish

If you see the lime swimming around in your margarita, it's probably time to stop drinking.

Evan, you should also try the NYT cooking Golden Potato Leek Soup - it is seasoned with turmeric, yummy!

Daily Grail Quote of the Day:

Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.

I suggest an alternative. Eat bacon in front of them and say, "You're next."

So OT, and I won't remember this: Warcraft is such a great movie for one thing: Travis FImmel's (of Vikings fame) hamming it up in every scene. It's not to the point of distraction, but it makes the movie so much more entertaining if you just watch him!

His first scene:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRdd51m_X0Y&ab_channel=FEAR

Nice homage to 'boomstick', but that was 30 years ago.

WH Presser: Intrepid Reporter asks ‘Who started war in Ukraine?” Walz, Miller say things, none of which are related to question. MSM goes, huh, and moves on. Meanwhile, KA$H is confirmed and Cabinet from Hell is duly installed. Asteroid will be arriving WAY too late.

All blessings to JB Pritzker. Wish we could clone him 10,000 times. The country is sorely in need of his courage and leadership.

As a future story wanted to make me imbibe things, does anyone know when middling-shelf (say-$25-$30) wines started going to screw-caps? I grabbed what turned out to be pretty damn good California wine, and after "fishing" through my tackle box for my Victorinox with the corkscrew, I found that it had a fucking screw-top! I know you saved me like a dollar, but what the hell, damn guy? Makes you look janky.

Rant over. Thinks finally kicking in.

hello loves...

dropping by to say I'm still here. I feel like every day I'm not reading/participating in the non-comments makes it harder to come back but also hard to cope with the daily shitshow of the news.

I threw this little post together and I promise to try and start being around more even if it's just lurking.

I wouldn't make a recipe from the fucking New York Times if it was the last recipe on earth. Saying you're not okay with their bullshit while playing wordle and reading their recipes is absurd.

The consequences for all of their fascist lies and propaganda should be removal of their tongues and fingers.

Perhaps those could be cooked in a stew once we're all living in shantys down by the river. BUTT THEIR RECIPES!!!
