Mountain Dew getting weird with it

Today my wife made the annual Giant Fucking Wreath for the front of the house. This year the tree we cut was a cedar (yellow cedar, I think), so the inside of the house smells great.

The best meal of the year.

I have received permission to make a cajun deep fried turkey next year. Yassssssssss!

It is now time to play Halford lll Winter Song and kick off the metal Christmas song season.

All the kids are at their dad's today. Wife and I have a 16lb bird + fixins just for us. Talking to my mom: she has a 16ln bird... just for her. And is going to the community turkey dinner. Wife: I think I see where you got this.

Beef and his sunbeam.

Stuffing started. God I love stuffing. Soon: turkey and stuffing waffles with eggs for a breakfast.

Etsy sells garrotes.

I thought my old issue of Cook's Illustrated's cassoulet had the recipe for French garlic sausage with it. It doesn't, I can't find it in their site, and the link in the cassoulet recipe has linkrot. So, guess who just added homemade "Saucisses de Toulouse" to their holiday schedule!!

It’s 39F. It’s damp and foggy. I have a fire ring, but am watching my neighbors fire. It’s dark. I can hear at least 5 different conversations. I prefer boondocking, but this is much more enjoyable than a day at work.

I am at a foggy campground. Neighbors across the way have a huge fire, loud country music, a ton of kids…. And are drinking beer and talking loudly about their favorite Walker, Texas Ranger episodes.

5th anniversary present. My dog, Colonel Archibald Percival “Wigglebutt” Philpott-Hawethorn “Beef” Wellington “Tre” III, Esq.

I’m stuck. Send help.

What a complete shitheel.

Bill "Bubba" Clinton could do the funniest thing right now.

it was the week elon was taking away free verification check marks and her ski trial had just ended. i thought this would be a more enduring cultural event but, needless to say, much has happened since then.

Bwahahaha

Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

The Wire, Season 1.

Would be pretty cool for the @mariners.com first bsky post be announcing a Josh Naylor contract. Just sayin...

One of the best albums, best songs, best videos of all time. Oh PJ and Nick. 3)

I went to see INXS when I was a wee bairn. PIL opened for them. I was immediately struck by the red haired dude in a suit. Too bad he ended up being a twat. Still, good song.

Tomorrow, Warren Zevon is finally being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Enjoy every sandwich.

We were standing outside on the back porch talking and Beef wanted Sadie to come out and play. Cutest thing I’ve seen in a while! (Sadie did come out, eventually)

When it's time for your big solo during the elementary school Christmas Pageant and one of the 3 Wisemen passes out next to the manger

Ok, dude, get to steppin'.

This.

Ok, #D&D and other #ttrpg people. I have the Goodman Games 5E conversion of Temple of Elemental Evil. How hard would it be to drop ToEE into Princes of the Apocalypse? Would it work to do early bit of PoA, then run Moathouse/ToEE, and then the party finish off PoA?

If you’re in the Edgewater/Rogers Park area, we need people with their whistles on visibly out on patrol. Even if it’s just a walk on your lunch break or while you walk your dog, it matters. This is an all hands on deck day. Whatever you can do. ICE is heavily present in the area. Hope I see you.

Beef may have been given a CBD “calm” gummy and a leftover trazidone from when he got fixed. He is still barking every time a trick-or-treater knocks, but its now just kinda “…. woof?”.

JFC.

BREAKING NEWS: our deep investigative reporting has uncovered that Richie and Carmy are not actually cousins. What else are they hiding?

I am so tired of hearing about the goddamn NYC mayoral race. Cannot wait for that to be over.

Beef gives Thin Pig a little post-kibble nibble.

So my youngest step-daughter and her friend made a Halloween video starring Beef. I love it.

Great big thing crawling all over me.

My baebee ran a 5k this morning. In the rain. Uphill. I’m amazed if I walk to the mailbox without passing out. I am very proud of her.

Looks like we need to show Beef how to eat corn on the cob.

Bullshit call.

I first saw U2 live on their second US tour in support of their October album, but Boy is definitely superior--released 45 years ago today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bmI...

Sadie is wistful.

Beef has ennui.

That's because you didn't see the "don't be a dicktator" sign. #nsfw
