"Set the umbrella on fire before service" That would explain the sorry-looking umbrella. Everything else you have presented was pleasing to the eye, but when I first saw the umbrella I thought it had gone places and done things. All is clear now. I hope you and yours are well.
I'm also trying something I saw on a cooking website. This guy used oyster sauce as a glaze for the steak. Brush it on while grilling for a nice bit of umami.
The memes flooding the internet regarding that pathetic rug plopped on top of President Pedo's fat pumpkin head are absolutely hilarious and getting funnier by the minute.
Here’s a question: How does one quit this fucking thing? Not life, but this particular American deal? Ive been thinking about it. And Ive been thinking of moving. To Israel.
Rand Paul and anything to attack the Fulvous Fuckwad's enemies -- at all costs:
> "Anthony Fauci’s diary included the names and medical information of people he came into contact with as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, including people with cancer, Ebola or HIV.
Not even children were protected, including the Devil incarnate's (Stephen Miller) spawn:
> "The published records include names, diagnoses, symptoms and test results of individuals. Two of the people identified by name alongside their medical details were children, including the child of Trump [sic] administration staffer Stephen Miller and his wife, Katie Miller." ibid
-----
Raphael Cruz and Islamophobia in the times of Mamdani and El-Sayed:
> "Wednesday afternoon in the Dirksen Senate Office Building. There, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) used the authority of the United States Senate — specifically, his Judiciary subcommittee — to hold a hearing purporting to demonstrate that there has been a decades-long Muslim conspiracy, led by the Muslim Brotherhood, to undermine and control the United States. And that El-Sayed is its crowning achievement." https://www.notus.org/perspectives/dana-milbank-ted-cruz-threw-an-islamophobic-party-and-nobody-showed-up
His subcommittee hearing didn't go as planned considering there were no other committee members present:
> "Democrats on the panel ...boycotted the hearing, saying they had “no intention of indulging this political creepshow.” Cruz’s fellow Republicans also skipped the hearing....
The result was a one-man show of religious bigotry and conspiracy theories, an awkward development that Cruz attempted to conceal.
“You may notice that there are empty chairs on the Democrat side of the dais,” he said, without mentioning that the seats were equally empty on the Republican side. “The American people should ask themselves why not a single member of the minority decided that a hearing on terrorism was worth their time,” he said, without mentioning that those in the majority also couldn’t be bothered to attend." ibid

Yesterday I noted that unaccompanied immigrant children were facing deportation hearings without legal council, or even understanding what is going on. Not to worry though, Pres ShitForBrains' administration fixed the problem (after the legislation providing funding lapsed this past Friday):
> "The Trump [sic] administration has awarded a $150 million contract to give legal representation to migrant children traveling alone to the U.S. to a small Texas law firm with ties to the administration but little experience in immigration law, prompting legal aid groups who’ve long represented those children to warn that the move could make them vulnerable to deportation." https://apnews.com/article/migrant-children-deport-unaccompanied-8c8c5b7929f25c410e83d8b1112c5f09
And as usual, the regime issued the contract bypassing requisite bidding processes:
> "The notice says Burke’s contract is a “single source cooperative agreement,” which means the administration picked the firm without a competitive bidding process. It did not offer a justification for bypassing standard bidding rules." ibid
Busy questions here

The meat cocktail thing lets you know that the Midwest is chock full of people with an ethnic background of "sausage".
Orgeat and cinnamon are such a cool, clever choice to help balance the Malört.
1. how did i not know about the green dragon?
2. will you be behind the bar at hemingway's on thursday, 8/27 because i will be there?
1: who came up with the idea of a malort cocktail contest and what happened to hurt them so badly?
2: were there any cocktails you *would* have tried?
*whispers*
He totally tried the Skyline Chili-infused one. But he'll never ever ever admit it publicly.
Malort is the Canned Clams of liquor, DEBATE ME!
I don't think that you'd even find a lot of Chicagoans disagreeing with you.
Malört's home page photo says it all
https://malort.com/
With the caveat that I'll drink Malort, but not canned clams.
Ooh…put them in a Malort Bloody Maritime
Hmm, add it to the water for steamed clams . . .
Not even the clam juice in a bloody?
I don't drink Bloody Marys. Can't stand tomato juice, having been forced to drink it as a child.
Beets. Creamed corn. I have a whole list of complaints when I figure out where I can file them.
Liver
Oysters
Chitlins
Hell to the NEVER with those.
Cauliflower, tomato juice, fucking eggplant . . .
While I'd love to make this cocktail, I don't have cinnamon syrup on hand nor do I have pomegranate molasses.
Besides, I'm having steak, and just opened a bottle of an undistinguished Merlot.
actually i would be tempted to dip that steak in some pomegranate molasses, which is my new exciting ingredient of 2026.
I might try that, yes.
The steaks were from a tenderloin I bought for Xmas dinner last year.
I am a fool for an undistinguished Merlot.
I'm also trying something I saw on a cooking website. This guy used oyster sauce as a glaze for the steak. Brush it on while grilling for a nice bit of umami.
Can't wait to try it.
Oooo might need to try that!
It came out great.
Yum!
Ooh, that tastes good . . .
The memes flooding the internet regarding that pathetic rug plopped on top of President Pedo's fat pumpkin head are absolutely hilarious and getting funnier by the minute.
IK, R? My favorites are side-by-side of him and his mother! "The mother, and the MUTHER FKR!"
Too bad nothing underneath it is funny.
Looking to experience a rage stroke this afternoon?

Hi Wonkets. There is no evening Zelenskyy tonight, he seems to be on the road, in Serbia, of all places.

The problem I have with that, Chuck, is that you and the rest of you media hacks never said that when Trump pleaded the 5th 440 times:
———————
Fauci made ‘huge mistake’ in pleading the Fifth: Chuck Todd
https://thehill.com/homenews/media/6016328-chuck-todd-fauci-mistake/?tbref=hp
Also Trump on witnesses taking the Fifth: "Disgraceful."
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/10/nyregion/trump-fifth-amendment-comments.html
Paywalled. sorry.
I googled Trump pleads 5th and Chuck Todd to see if there were any hits. Nada. Zip. Zilch. But I did find this.
Trump invokes Fifth Amendment nearly 450 times in N.Y. AG’s civil probe of his business practices
An attorney for Trump said the former president answered only one question, about his name, during the four-hour deposition.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-deposed-ny-ag-civil-probe-business-practices-rcna42355
Nobody cares what you think, Chuckles the Toad.
I'm fine with the opinion that people named Chuck are morans.
BTW, when is he leaving?
That bus driver in Germany that kicked a Russian drone out of the air should never have to but himself a beer in his life. That's rad as fuck.
So everyone knows…

Rahsaan Roland Kirk was born on this day in 1935. Here he is on flute performing his song "Serenade To A Cuckoo":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsaxODHI3fA
And here he is playing multiple saxophones (sometimes simultaneously!) on "Volunteered Slavery" at Montreux in 1972. Quite the jam, I must say:

Oh looky, an appeals court rules that Tangerini can't build his ballroom until he gets congressional approval:
https://apnews.com/article/trump-ballroom-court-ruling-1528247275ec6103da892d271d4ee883?
If he can get Blanche as AG, he’ll get his ballroom.
He'll just leave that horrible mess there until we give in. That was the point of starting without approval.
It's not like that court has weapons it can use against the construction crew . . .
That'll cause flailing and shrieking.
it has.
Hide the ketchup slices.
Is that a real thing?
Dehydrated ketchup roll up!
It’s like fruit leather,
But it’s ketchup
Apparently it is, people inventing new mousetraps are the rage.

I smell lawsuits.
A supposedly "certified" doctor completely violating HIPPA ?
Sounds completely normal
For an immoral childish idiot . . .
Maybe one of the affected people will sue his ass.
Not much for fighting any Trinidads, and I've never had one of my own anyways.
Howzabout Rio instead?
