PSA for everyone who enjoys edibles: please, please treat them responsibly and don't leave them where they'll unknowingly get eaten. By someone who thinks they're just ordinary brownies/
lollies/cookies.
I'm seeing more and more news reports and storylines about pets or clueless visitors eating a huge dose without a clue. I HOPE it's just fiction and hyperbole, because that shit's dangerous as hell. Please store your stash responsibly and keep it out of reach of the unwitting.
(One of my dogs ate a "chocolate chip cookie" once, sat like a sphinx for hours, and did a close study of every blade of grass in the yard for two days. But she was fine in the end.)
My issue with the movie is that H&K lived in Hoboken, and they didn't even think to go to the White Castle at Journal Square in Jersey City? Because when I was in college in Hoboken, that's where we went.
I was in Louisville Kentucky a few months ago and instead of doing the sensible thing of getting on 64 and coming straight home, we embarked on a bit of a madcap adventure which eventually led us to a White Castle drive-thru. After decades of craving those soggy little grease bombs, I was finally gonna inhale at least four. I had one and a half, my kid had one, we threw the rest away. It turns out they're way better when you're high.
At the gym this morning and the MAGAT on the bike next to me says, "I sure do miss Rush Limbaugh"
My reply, "Well when you go to hell he will be there and you can listen to him chat with his guests Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Nixon, Falwell, Robertson, Schlafly, Reagan and so on"
The look on that woman's face...Vincent PRICE-LESS! (please forgive me, St. Vincent I love you, always!)
"Monsters In Motion is releasing a series of anatomically correct female resin kits for the serious collector looking for something not to large and not to small. The first in this series was inspired from the 1968 film One Million B.C. starring Raquel Welch, and will stand approx 9 inches tall with base, there will be very few parts to assemble, so the figure will be ready to prep and paint"
It's a solid figure, clothed in a leather bikini. What exactly makes it "anatomically correct"? The fact that it's female-shaped and has the requisite facial features to make it look human?
I dunno, maybe there's plans for a (semi-)nude figure in the future where that phrase will actually have meaning.
I sprung for the credit card that gets you lounge access.
Our flight to SF is delayed, they had so little idea of how long it might be that they told people who have access to go to the lounge. So now I'm at the bar drinking free whisky while the proles sit in those uncomfortable seats at the gate.
And best of all, the painful annual fee can be paid with airmiles! I might even get enough miles this year to go to *checks* Portland.
‘I Serve With Some Real Scumbags!’ GOP Rep. Goes SCORCHED EARTH on Far-Right Colleagues, Claims Gaetz ‘Paid Minors To Have Sex With Him At Drug Parties’
I can only hear that in Steve Buscemi’s voice from Desperado. “Oh, these guys were some real scumbags—not like the clientele at this fine establishment!”
Huh. The wife just informed me that the bagpiper I assumed was coming from a video on her tablet was an actual guy in a kilt across the street at the Anglican church. He started playing outside then walked into the building. Wonder what's going on there this morning?
Except it wasn't a funeral tune and it's the middle of service time on Sunday, when they don't generally schedule funerals OR weddings. So it must be part of today's service.
The chain does not franchise, nor take on debt, and is privately owned. The all knowing Wiki says this is probably why it remains relatively small, at 350 locations.
As the first fast food chain ever, they had to create and invent a lot of supply chain infrastructure that just didn’t exist at the time.
... when I first searched on the name, Google Maps helpfully got me directions to one... In London, KY, more than thirteen hours drive for me. A little strange since they do still have them in NYC, which would be less than seven.
I have never had the pleasure of dining on White Castle fare. We don't have any of those restaurants here in Spokane or in all of Washington state as far as I know.
... when I actually search in Google Maps it finds me one in NY, a mere 6h17m away. I guess just some browser weirdness. Still. Really not that hungry.
Google gives me some site called "Trumpet" that claims there is one in Triangle Town Mall not too far away from me. There is not. White Castle says there's no NC locations and no plans to expand to here -- there was apparently a hoax story that they were that got published by the Charlotte Observer a while back and they had to put out a statement crushing the hopes of anyone that was hoping they'd come here.
Our next movie is 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 (𝟏𝟗𝟓𝟎).

I saw this movie with my kid, against my better judgment, and was surprised that I enjoyed it.
Daily reminder:
A vote for a third party (cause Biden does/did that thing you don't like) or staying home is a vote for TFG.
Also: greetings from CA to red-state Wonkers, (I don't know how you do it).

I rented the movie. To avoid ads. Not much for those...
... now waiting to see if, after renting Harold and Kumar on 4/20, suddenly, mysteriously, all the sidebar ads I see are for weed-associated products.

Here in the deep south, we have Krystals instead of White Castle. Same basic premise, only worth eating if you are wasted.
is it just me, or has the price of those shitty little burgers SKYROCKETED over the last 20 years?

Roman Gabriel passes at 83

I didn’t think about it until I read your post.
Had to give it some thought
Light dawns on Marblehead
I used that Marblehead line with Holly years ago , then had to explain it.
But later on, we went to Gloucester and now she's familiar the North Shore.
Mavericks getting smoked by the Clippers
Kyrie Irving is on the bench acting like an a-hole
What a surprise
If you're a Mavs fan, you should be glad he's on the bench instead of playing!
I just love that saying. I'm not sure if everyone understands what it means, but it's a true statement.
As a teen I was told that the term "slider" had something to do with the indigestibility of the item....if you know what I'm talking about.
Model companies being weird again:

These female resin kits often seem sketch to me. Especially anime.
But yeah, what's that supposed to mean for a clothed figure? Erect nipples under the bikini?
Best perk so far.

Oh.
Yippee.
Enjoy the airport cocktail lounge.
If you see David Brooks tell him to drink his Scotch and STFU
You can tell he's not as fancy as he like to pretend, real fancy people get free food and drink at the lounge.
Cool, see you at the Portland wonkmeet, then.
I thought you'd all been murdered by ANTIFA?
I'll see if Fukui wants to come and bring his swollen wallet to buy enough absinthe.
Repubs in Disarray!

Tell us something we didn't already know.

Must be some Scottish rite.
Heard ‘It’s a Long Way to the Top’ by AC/DC yesterday.
Love the bagpipes big time
People like to play air guitar but I’ve never seen anyone play air bagpipes
Maybe after mass quantities of Scotch
Funeral.
Except it wasn't a funeral tune and it's the middle of service time on Sunday, when they don't generally schedule funerals OR weddings. So it must be part of today's service.
More than likely, although I can't help but hope that maybe it's a wedding.
That remains one of my favorite sounds in this world. I just absolutely love to listen to the pipes.
Scottish Easter?
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves Proclaims Confederate Heritage Month in Mississippi
https://www.mississippifreepress.org/41270/governor-reeves-proclaims-confederate-heritage-month-in-mississippi
"Come for the heritage! Stay for the hate!"
There are several states that still do that annually.
Goobenor Taters mis-spelled "Lost Cause Losers".
Tate already celebrated Take Money Earmarked for Deserving Citizens to Build a Volleyball Stadium Month
Brett Favre also
Well of course he does. /eye_roll The party of traitors celebrating the biggest traitors to the country in history, sounds just about right.
This nation used to prosecute those who celebrated traitors.
White Castle fun facts:
The chain does not franchise, nor take on debt, and is privately owned. The all knowing Wiki says this is probably why it remains relatively small, at 350 locations.
As the first fast food chain ever, they had to create and invent a lot of supply chain infrastructure that just didn’t exist at the time.
... when I first searched on the name, Google Maps helpfully got me directions to one... In London, KY, more than thirteen hours drive for me. A little strange since they do still have them in NYC, which would be less than seven.
They were all over the Cincinnati area when I was youngish and we were visiting family. It just seemed incredibly exotic to a 10-year-old.
1970's Krystals in the South started as somewhat of a White Castle clone. They had sliders in little red and yellow boxes, also had an expanded menu.
We had Krystal’s in Jacksonville, Florida.
Used to be one in Eau Gallie, Florida. I never went there.
I remember seeing on in NJ
Have never sampled their fare
They're all over New Jersey.
I have never had the pleasure of dining on White Castle fare. We don't have any of those restaurants here in Spokane or in all of Washington state as far as I know.
Wiki says Midwest, NYC, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Orlando.
14 in Tenn.
I swear there used to be one in Georgetown but maybe it was a similar place. I was never brave enough to try it.
I went to the one in Georgetown many years ago. Not sure if it's still there.
White Castle's website tells me my closest location is that same store, some 313 miles away.
... when I actually search in Google Maps it finds me one in NY, a mere 6h17m away. I guess just some browser weirdness. Still. Really not that hungry.
You will be by the time you get there.
I've never seen one in person, but I've seen boxes of frozen White Castle burgers at some grocery store. No idea what the hoopla is about.
Google gives me some site called "Trumpet" that claims there is one in Triangle Town Mall not too far away from me. There is not. White Castle says there's no NC locations and no plans to expand to here -- there was apparently a hoax story that they were that got published by the Charlotte Observer a while back and they had to put out a statement crushing the hopes of anyone that was hoping they'd come here.
It’s maybe the default White Castle? The mothership White Castle? The great attractor of White Castles?
IIRC, the mother ship White Castle is/was in Brooklyn.
... you mean the one from the movie? Wiki says founded in Wichita KY, headquarters now in Columbus OH.
OK ... so history proves I'm incorrect. I will say the only White Castle I've been to is in Brooklyn.
Mine is Allentown PA!
It's Yocco's or nothing.
They tell me if I *really* want some WC burgers, to get them from my grocery store's freezer section. I think Food Lion carries them.
I’ve seen them in Food Lion.
I'm pretty sure I've seen them when I was shopping. Never bought them, though. Maybe I'll get a box one of these days just so I can say I had some.
They are just as horrible as the fresh ones.
