Florida Man needed a straw to finish his weather control device and he needed it nearly as badly as he needed a couple drinks to take the edge off of what must have been a legendary New Years Eve party, judging from the fact that he was wearing someone else’s clothes, his sinuses were still firing meth highs every time he sniffled, and he’d started on Boxing Day. What had begun as simple party with his minions to celebrate the new weather machine design had… Well, he wasn’t sure, but either they’d be zapping him with one of his own brain scramblers, or he hadn’t drawn a sober breath in a week.
Be that as it may, Florida Man was going to start 2019 right. This would be the year that he finally completed something that worked. His weather machine had the ability to steer hurricanes towards… well anything really, but he was pretty sure there were some developers that would pay big money to get in on the ground floor of government redevelopment grants and a shot at commercial insurance fraud. Plus, he had several municipalities that he owed vengeance. And all he needed to complete it was one plastic straw.
“Gimme a tall drink with a plastic straw,” he told the girl behind the register.
“Ain’t got no plastic straws as of today.”
“What, like, you’re out?”
“No, dude. City passed a law. No more plastic straws. We don’t give ’em out no more starting today so the owner can sound like he gives a shit at the Chamber of Commerce meetings.”
This couldn’t be. He needed a straw. Nobody was going to stand in his way this time. Even yuppie St. Pete wouldn’t do that. That’s stupid. Even a bunch of mouth-breathers like the St. Pete City Council wouldn’t do that! This woman was obviously associated with his ex-wife and former co-conspirator (unindicted) Florida Woman. That bitch was always trying to ruin his life.
He would make her give him a goddamn straw!
Okay, next time he would send a minion to go get the straw. That counter girl was tiny… but fierce! Those sharp little knuckles really did a number on him.
You know who else used straws?
Everyone on Wall St. in the 80s ?
Not rolled up hundred dollar bills? Which reminds me – speaking of discontinued beverage accessories, remember the teeny spoons you once got with your McD’s coffee back in the day?

By golly, the things I learn here. And from Ted, too.
“The Gin Act 1736 imposed high taxes on sales of gin, forbade the sale of the spirit in quantities of less than two gallons and required an annual payment of £50 for a retail licence. This had little effect beyond increasing smuggling and driving the distilling trade underground.”
Why does that sound so familiar ?
Sorry, I couldn’t sit through that.
The video being critiqued is painfully retarded. But it serves to enlighten us to the leftist mindset. Primarily, they mock the Constitutional considerations of their end goals and how they are to be attained. That is to say, they believe there are no limits on the government, despite the nature of its founding charter. I, personally, find that very concerning because they think the law is whatever they want it to be whenever they want it to be. For them the law is everything and nothing and therefor does not exist, and neither do individual rights.
God, I thought this was one of his earlier vids. Not that I don’t like his: I was simply hoping he didn’t have to do a new one for this subject (yeah, where have I been?).
All I can say is, Thank God they animated Anna in that video, because she is Don’t-look-at-them-opening-the-Ark ugly.
Technically the assailant is from West Virginia which proves my theory. It’s not the act of being born in Florida that makes a man Florida man. It must be chemicals in the water down there.

Not gonna lie, Occluded Cortex looks pretty good in this stupid video (despite the teeth…). I guess she get the crazy eyes when she decides to wax-idiotic. Would definitely hit that while reading ‘The Law’ or ‘The Road to Serfdom’ out-loud in the hopes that she would learn something. (p.s. the red-head in the pink and the brunette in the polk-dots. That is all.)
She doesn’t look too bad if she keeps the crazy eyes under control and has her hair flowing freely instead of being pulled back into that freakishly tight bun/ponytail.
Conspiracy theory: Her hair is so tight that it’s pulling her eyelids open and creating the crazy eyes.
I’m just wondering who all are holding her leash.
She certainly didn’t write the Green manifesto she rambles about, Soros? Pu Hitler
Yeah, I don’t know? I’m thinking maybe some of Obama’s old handlers. Pretty aggressive agenda.
This is their opening salvo – only unlike Trump’s opening salvos, it expresses exactly what they want but they will settle for less because it moves the bar in their direction.
And the media will continue to move the Overton Window along with it.
Nope. I have the urge to kick the ass of everyone in that video. NAP be damned. I was aggressed by watching it.
So, completely unrelated. I’ve been playing with the sous vide stick I got for Christmas. So far, it’s awesome with pork (tenderloin and chops both were awesome), the chicken had a strange texture (first attempt, I’ll be trying it at a higher temperature next time), soft boiled eggs work well, but hard boiled eggs are better in the instant pot (the pressure cooking makes them easier to peel). I’ve got a ribeye queued up for this weekend to see how the sous vide does for that.
Do you sear your meat beforehand or scorch ’em afterward?
So far, I’ve been searing afterward. I understand there’s some back and forth as to sear before, after, or before AND after.
I’ll be continuing the testing, and have realized how nice it can be for camping. I can sous vide things before hand, cool them down, and then toss them in a cooler to be reheated and seared later. I do need to do more research on this side (the one warning I’ve seen so far is don’t do this for anything cooked at under 135 F).
The youtuber who introduced me to sous vide, some French dude, used a butane torch. I like your idea, though.
I bet that rib eye will be excellent. You going to do a sear at the end?
Yep, I’ve got a big old cast iron skillet that I’ll get roaring hot near the end of the water bath.
Awesome:)
Try salmon next
Then carrots
I’d have to be a salmon fan first. Carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and all the other root vegetables are on the test list after some reading.
I’ve got to say, some of the things just seem… silly to me. Cookies should not be made in a sous vide bath.
I haven’t tried eggs in the instant pot yet – I’m dubious that it will be any faster or better than the steaming method I discovered a few months ago, which is already the best method I’ve heard of to date.
Hard boils eggs in the Instant Pot are great. So easy to peel.
That’s a convincing argument to get me to try. I do find the vegetable steamer method makes them easier to peel than boiling them like I used to. But any improvement in that area is certainly welcome.
Yeah, there’s something with the higher pressure that makes the eggs easier to peel. Just make sure you put the Instant Pot on low pressure, even with that I’ve had a couple of eggs crack.
Never had any crack yet. I put them on raised insert over cup and half of water so they steam. Cook 6 minutes, release pressure, into ice bath
I’ve got a steamer basket I put them in with about a cup of water at low pressure. 10 minutes, then immediate release and into an ice bath. I’ve had a couple I’ve pulled out of the pot that already had small cracks (not as in the egg erupted, but you got some solidified white outside the shell).
I’ll try the “Egg” button first and see what happens!
This. This right here is why the Instant Pot is so popular. Making rice, push the rice button; making stew, push the stew button; etc.
(i.e. just sticking a vegetable steamer over water in a regular pot heated to boiling)

/disclosure: I rode with them for the Buckeye Breakaway in 2017.
So one of my evening mindless activities is Food Network. The current episode of Chopped includes a female immigrant from Kenya who joined the Navy, went to school and is now the head chef at the Pentagon.
I hate the proggies for downplaying that type of accomplishment for those crossing the border illegally.
As long as it’s not the episodes with kids, I can sit and watch Chopped for hours. It astonishes me how many of the contestants have traveled the world for cooking techniques, while I’ve gone to America’s hat (back when they would let me in), and Ireland.
Ugh… Chopped. “Turn this weird ingredient nobody uses into something palatable!”
I hate that show because I learn *nothing* from it.
For me, it’s more about a chef’s ability to turn that ingredient nobody uses into something edible in a short period of time. Like I said, this is mindless entertainment.
They all seem to have sob story these days as well. I’m gay and my mother doesn’t love me, I was an addict, I lost an eye playing cards with a Chinaman in Shanghai.
That is rife through competition shows these days and is truly annoying. “I represent an acute minority in this country so I deserve extra attention.”
Enh, I’ve binged on “Worst Chef in America” – I know from mindless entertainment 🙂
I’ve confessed my guilty pleasure is “Worst Chefs in America”, at least for the first 3-4 episodes. And there I can actually learn tips (such as how to cut and dice things, assuming I don’t mind waste). Hell, for mindless, over the past weekend I made it through the new Watership Down (not as disturbing as the old cartoon, but still dark), Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (interesting, but the rewinding makes it difficult to get invested), and I’m halfway through Happy! Season 1 (Dark. Really dark. Santa kidnapping children dark.).
Lol! I will confess that show is a bridge to far. When one of my first thoughts is “oh, FFS”, I’ll pass.
My wife had me watching The Fabulous Mrs. Masle. Good show about a woman comic in 50’s NYC.
I found Good Eats to be an entertaining show. The best part is that Alton Brown doesn’t just demonstrate recipes; he teaches the principles of cooking. Even if you don’t cook the recipes he cooks, you still learn the science of how ingredients interact with each other as well as what happens to them during the cooking process, and that will make you a badass chef. That show probably taught me 90% of what I know about cooking.
Vaguely, but brilliantly, spoofed by Futurama.
Bam!
BAM!
There’s a chef. And something’s iron.
These ladies’ futures are so bright, they gotta wear shades.

Can she really believe in all that, or is she just trying to seem like the coolest social justice chick in the world to her young followers, while secretly hoping that wiser heads prevent her from getting her way? Kind of the way a guy can be all “Come at me, bro!!” while counting on his buddies to “prevent” him from actually getting into a fist fight?
She’s young. I’m betting true believer zealot.
Most of them don’t believe this crap for a second but a select few are true believers. I think you’re right; she might be one of them. She’ll age out of it in a couple decades but by then she’ll rolling in gold coins and won’t give up the game to all her fans.

Much better, though big tiddy’s aren’t really my thing.
The butt is the keystone of the body – it’s impossible to be in good shape and have a terrible butt. The reverse is not true. First part of the body out of shape, last part in shape.
Once there was this Hogg who
Got into a shooting and couldn’t come to school
But when he finally came back
His butt crack turned from black into bleached white
He said that it was from when
The CK had smashed him so hard
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Once there was this Emma who
Wouldn’t go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw TERFmarks all over her body
She couldn’t quite explain it
They’d always just been there
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
But both the girl and boy were glad
‘Cause one kid had it worse than that
‘Cause then there was this boy whose
Network made him report directly in front of the school
And when Acosta went for a an anal search
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn’t quite explain it
They’d always just gone there
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Oh oh
Oh oh
Shit. Didn’t mean to post that yet. Rough draft. Ugh.

Obligatory creepy *Is she hot?*
I live know where near there, but pics would be welcome.
She is 8 but if you need a pic go to my Christmas post and look for Cindy Lou who ya pervert

I grew up about 50 miles SE of there. Small town…pretty hills and streams. Good place to grow up imho.
I don’t get it, some things said here would get your ass kicked, sad for you
The great thing is, this works for just about any comment on any site.
rue, but please don’t joke about perving my granddaughter, thats sick
I wouldn’t like that either.
No offense intended – I wasn’t sure what it was a response to. I’m now assuming it was to the “is she hot” comment, so I get it.
No worries I was asking about where Riley was going, and things got wierd
I’m said shit to my friends when we’ve been drinking that they didn’t like even though it was a joke and they knew my intent wasn’t malicious. “Not cool, man.” And now I know his limit and we’re still buds.
Yep, same with us here,
My baby is moving to Arkansas, her dad stays in Cali, we are going to Az, I fear I’ll never see her again, as of tomorrow
If you think people are over the line, feel free to call them out. I don’t like people using “retard” to describe immoral assholes and have called it out here. Sometimes you just gotta shrug.
