Damn it. I had to get a couple White Castle cheeseburgers. I'm going to be a musical treat at the hospital tonight. Thanks guys.

Their chicken breast sandwiches also rule.

 

[the rover]

ACF time?

I have #1 waiver priority (out of 2) for Championship Week, key FA's are Derrick Ward, Donald Brown, Jacoby Ford and Toby Gerhart.

I have Foster, and the other team is pretty bad (9th out of 10) in points and has Mendenhall, BJBEwhatever, and Ronnie Brown starting at RB. Do I use my priority to snag Ward or Donald Brown? Brown wouldn't start unless Foster's out (seems unlikely), but I'd block my opponent from him.

I'm thinking I should snag Ward and not take any chances.

Gates?

 

[Thorn]

Am I understanding this right? The New York sports media decided not to show up to the post game press conference in protest ... over the way the Giants lost? Not because some female got felt up in the locker room, not because a player was a jackass, but because they LOST? Is this an Onion story? It must be fake life, right?

There are about a dozen things in this clip that could be considered the best part. Just watched it for the 6th time and noticed how bad our hero beat the guy in the far left lane. That guys looks like he's never done this before.I was laughing so hard at this that I was farting violently, and not caring. I didn't think anyone else was left in the office. Then about 90 seconds later I heard some chick's phone ring 2 cubes away.

I've seen a few shuke pics here and there but really don't know him from Adam. But based on what I've seen and his reputation here, the thought of him giggling hysterically and pooting with abandon this afternoon has me

I've got some time off this holiday season, what are some good video games to rent for the PS3? Big fan of the GTA's, sports games, adventure stuff, etc. etc.

Yep, I actually own that. But very few other titles.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif.—Kern County has declared a local emergency as heavy rains swamp the region.

The Bakersfield Californian reports that the weekend rains left many neighborhoods dealing with high waters with some homeowners stacking sandbags in hopes of staying dry.

There were no reports of serious damage but county officials declared an emergency, saying the order will allow responders to be able to quickly access county resources when needed.

The National Weather Service says nearly three inches of rain had fallen by 6 p.m. Sunday, making it the wettest December day on record for the city.

Around Kern County, flooding, mud slides, falling rocks, crested creeks and downed trees created havoc.

3 inches may not sound like much but we're just not prepared for that much rain (storm drains, infrastracture etc).It's pretty damn crazy.

ETA: this is about a mile from my house

What do you mean by 3 inches not being much? My wife says it's alot

:confetti:

 

[RudiStein]

Glad you had a good health update, Rudi. Don't die.

Thanks. The Bears defense/ST and their 20 FF pts last night put me in my Superbowl. I have a reason to live now.

And X is playing in Bako. Seems like everything's coming up Stein lately.

Had my tickets for almost 3 months now. Wife and I also have a room at the h(m)otel next door for that night. It will be epic.

I'm pretty much out, then. God of War III was ok. Uncharted 2 is boring. COD Black Ops barely works on the PS3.

Nevermind. One commercial break in and I see this is Applebee's with marginally better food, slightly higher prices and perhaps better beers on tap.

Ask my cousin in Tampa about it this morning, and here's the reply:

Beef O'Bradys is a restaurant chain that started in the Tampa Bay area and has grown throughout the southeast. The bill themselves as a "family sports bar" and that pretty much defines the food as well...your basic pub grub: burgers, wraps, sandwiches, fries and chicken wings. I really like their chicken wings, and make a special attempt to grab some whenever I'm near a "Beefs".The time I lived in a Tampa suburb, the local "Beefs" became a second living room for us, watching sports on TV, grabbing a quick bite or having a meal with the team after a game.

der wienerschnitzel and of course hot dog on a stick, I could sit in the food court all day and watch them make lemonade

Man, we haven;t had one around these parts in over 20yrs. I miss that place.

Turducken Smoked Fatty

Ingredients:

1 pound of BBQ pulled chicken (fully cooked)

1 pound duck confit or smoked pulled duck meat

3 pounds of sliced bacon

5 pounds of turkey sausage, mild or hot (loose, uncooked)

1 red bell pepper, diced medium

3 poblano pepper, diced medium

10 cloves roasted garlic, mashed

1 pound red potatoes, boiled or roasted soft

To make filling:

In a large mixing bowl, lightly crush potatoes with a fork.

Add peppers, roasted garlic, pulled chicken, and duck confit.

season with salt and pepper, then fold all together. Store refrigerated.

To make the outer layers:

On a clean surface or cookie sheet, weave the bacon slices to form a rectangle.

Sprinkle the turkey sausage over the bacon lattice. Then press the sausage to form an even layer across the lattice. The sausage should cover the bacon in one uniform sheet, but stop 2 inches from the edge of the lattice all around.

To assemble:

Spread the filling over the sausage layer as evenly as possible. Carefully separate the front edge of the sausage layer from the bacon weave and begin rolling backwards. You want to include all layers except for the bacon weave in your roll. Keep the sausage as tight as possible. Once the sausage is fully rolled up, pinch together the seams and ends to seal all of the bacon goodness inside.

To cook:

Smoke over indirect heat at 275 degrees with heavy smoke (or roast in oven at 300 degrees). Cook until internal temperature reads 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer, at least an hour and thirty minutes. Slice into rounds and serve.

Oh yeah, I had my first Colonoscopy today. Slap it high. Surgery to be scheduled shortly.

Taco Bell is just disgusting.

In an unrelated note, as it turns out it is awesome to be a Bears fan in Milwaukee when the Bears win the division.

Where did you watch the game?Have you gone to see the Fonze statue yet?

My god, I forgot about the Fonz statue. How could I forget about the Fonz statue?!?! On the plus (and minus) side, I'll likely be back in January.We ate at Mason Street Grill because we were staying at the Pfister (nice place, BTW), then moved to their bar after dinner to watch until they closed at 10 p.m., or perhaps were just trying to get rid of us. So we moved across the street for the rest of the game at someplace called Blackthorn(?). Lots of big screen TVs, mostly dead except for my screaming at the top of my lungs now and then, perhaps to the chagrin of the CEO and the CFO.

So I go online today to pay my credit card bills and my Mastercard is really high and I had not used it much lately.but let me go back a little ways, first.Last weekend, I had to miss my GBGM's wedding. I just had too much going on to take off 3-4 days to go to Detroit.Thursday night his soon-to-be BIL was throwing a bachelor party / poker game in his honor and I decided it would be good schtick to have some strippers deliver an ice cream cake to the event and dance to some Neil Young songs.So after calling around the greater Detroit area, I finally found a stripp-o-gram operation that promised to pick up an ice cream cake, take it to the poker game, and serve it to the guests while singing Heart of Gold and Southern Man in the nude. The only catch was that I had to find and pay for an ice cream cake. I tell them to give me an hour and I'll call them back.Eva's ice Cream in Lake Orion seemed like the best choice after some Google searching, so I call them up. but they sell ice cream. And they sell cakes. but they do not sell ice cream cakes. I spend 15 minutes with the owner trying to get her to concoct the unimaginable recipe of smearing a couple of quarts of ice cream on top of one cake and then putting another cake on top of that. I offered her $100 to perform this complicated task and I think I just about had her talked into it, until I told her it needed to be done ASAP before the strippers showed up. She hung up on me and no one there would answer the phone when I repeatedly tried to call back.I tried a few other places with no luck, but finally the Lake Orion DQ told me that they had ice cream cakes ready to go, but they closed in 15 minutes. He even agreed to a credit card payment - if I threw in an extra twenty bucks for the trouble.I called back the strippers, but they said there was no way they could get to Lake Orion before the DQ closed. So I told them to blow it off. That without an ice cream cake it would just be inferior schtick.Evidently the strippers had caller ID, because they called me back twenty minutes later and told me the Kroger sold Ice cream cakes. So I call the Lake Orion Kroger to see if I could charge one of their delicious cakes on my Mastercard for my hired performers ( I had learned that the sensibilities of Western Detroit merchants were offended when it came to holding cakes for strippers).My new-found decorum was lost on the Kroger manager, as he would not let me pay for a cake over the phone no matter who was picking it up.So I called back the strippers and told them it was still a no go because the Kroger wouldn't take a credit card over the phone.So they told me that if I would pay them $375 ($100 over the previously negotiated price) that they would pay for the cake themselves.Ok I said, relenting to their unrealistic demands due to my BAC and determination to see this task through. But that wasn't enough. Evidently the Detroit-based strippers were too inept to get to Lake Orion, unless I was willing to stay on the cell phone while they navigated to the privileged western regions of the county while read turn-by turn directions from Google maps.To help pass the time while they drove, I worked with them on the lyrics to Heart of Gold and Southern Man. Turns out they really did not know either song and were doing a woeful job of memorizing the words while I played an MP3 in the background during our phone conversation. My patience is running thin because they only remember half of the chorus to Southern Man and hardly any of Heart of GOld. But they finally make it to the Lake Orion Kroger.Once there they cannot find any ice cream cakes.They find ice cream and they find cakes. But no ice cream cakes.I figured if na Ice Cream shop owner (like Eva from Eva's ice Cream) in Michigan cannot figure out how to transform two cakes and half a gallon ice cream into a delicious ice cream cake - there's no way it worth even attempting to do it over a cell phone with two strippers from Detroit.At this point I've spent over three hours trying to get this done and I am ready to give up. I told them it had to be ice cream cake or the deal was off. They insisted that cake and ice cream was a suitable substitute and I was still obligated to go thru with the deal.Sorry, strippers, but that was not the agreement. Several minutes and hundreds of profanities later I turned off my cell and ended the once- flourishing relationship.About that time Charvik calls me on my home phone. I had left him a message several hours earlier to try and help me coordinate the stripper and ice cream cake fiasco. I briefly attempted to enlist his support in obtaining an ice cream cake, but I don't know if you have ever tried communicating with a drunken Norwegian who is barely understandable when sober, but its not pretty. Or productive. He finally hands off the phone to Forrest.I still ahve glimmers of hope that I may somehow pull this off as a surprise, so I have to chat with Forrest and pretend that I am just calling to wish him luck yada yada yada. I finally get his drunk ### off the phone and he gives the receiver to JTC, who is also in town for the festivities. His complete drunkenness makes him even more indecipherable than the drunken Norwegian who first called me. By this time its almost midnight and I decide to give up. I had given it my best shot and failed.Now I see the strippers charged me $375 with a $500 tip for their troubles. That seems excessive since they never delivered cake, took off their clothes or learned any of the Neil young lyrics. I think I may file a dispute over the charges.

xmas bump, I'm hoping this was in the mailer with cos's xmas cards this year

I just wish that cos would post sometime.
