The Raphael on their focaccia is possibly the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. Dropping a pallet of those into Iran could probably convert the IRGC to Catholicism.
I love this video. I wish I could take a "History of the American West" course from that ranger. Talk about loving what you do and being excellent at it. Being a park ranger seems like the ultimate retirement gig.

I looked up the other battle he mentioned where the soldiers were buried and marked where they fell (1 of 2 in the world), it was in South Africa, at Isandlwana during the English/Zulu war, around that same time period. They buried the soldiers in graves marked with large cairns. Thought that was interesting.

I've been there. Spooky place. I'm not much on woo woo stuff, but I felt something there.



Same here, there's definitely something eerie about that place. I remember having sections of the battlefield essentially to myself when I was there, and just standing still with no sound other than the wind whispering through the tall grass. Do you know how people describe how their vision can narrow? I felt that, but with my hearing. The ONLY thing I could hear standing on the ridgeline was that grass just swishing all around me. It makes you wonder, was this same sound that Custer and his men heard as the life drained out of them on top of that hill? I honestly don't know how to describe it because I've never experienced anything like it, not even at Gettysburg. There was a palpable energy to the place. It felt...restless. Just thinking about it now makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

re: Olive oil recommendation

Have been on a kick trying to find the best. Have bought several high-end bottles from oliveoillovers.com, but I keep coming back to Kosterina.

Graza is solid for grocery store olive oil, as well.

If you want to stick with Italian and want an old-school experience, give Fratelli Coletti a try. Small batch, family made, I get an email when the harvest is ready every year, that kind of stuff. I prefer ordering out of the glass bottles as I've found the metal container can impart a metallic taste. The 3 bottles for $98 deal is pretty good.

If you feel like trying a few, I think oliveoillovers does a variety of samplers as well as a tasting kit so you can get a feel for what you enjoy. I like mine with high polyphenols that lend to a bright, peppery flavor that's good on everything from bread to salads. I've largely quit buying salad dressing and just use a high quality olive oil and balsamic glaze.

Whole fried snapper with a good squeeze of lime and a dab of some kind of spicy sauce on it. Preferably with a very cold beer and a view of the water.

One of the most interesting neighbors I had was a Texas Ranger who solved a couple of famous cases. I don’t want to say the cases because his name would be easy to find. He was an awesome neighbor. Drank many a cold beer with him in our driveways.


Wasn't Joaquin Jackson, was it? I'm reading his autobiography right now and it's really interesting. Either him or Walker.

They are getting bodied in the comments of every post they make, the last several of which have been sucking up to WVU fans, who are having none of it :lol:

They kicked a beehive by being jackasses to McAfee, Coop is finally getting the justice he deserves.
What would be the benefit of this over a Suburban or other large SUV that you could daily drive? I thought these were mainly camper vans, but if it's just laid out in a normal seating configuration it seems less practical than traditional options. You should be able to strap 3 car seats in a 3-row SUV, right?

As evidenced in the video where the immigrant works incredibly hard to cut the head off a white guy

I'll save you the trouble and get to the punchline: you're gonna end up buying a new fridge.


This is the way, OP. My Blaze fridge went out a couple of years ago and after calling around it became pretty obvious the path of least resistance was going to be getting a new one. BBQGuys actually gave me a bit of a discount on another make/model, call them and ask.
Sometimes reasonable men are forced to do unreasonable things.

Why does this kind of stuff always seem to happen in Townships?
The guy at the beginning says "100 out of 10", pretty sure that's where that's coming from. Reading the comments on X most people are saying these jars of slop are $20-25 or so. All EBT, of course

The creatures in that video, man. My goodness. What will they think of next?
I've also murdered some Goslings, on occasion

Abdul's wife, herself a former child sex slave, was unable to be reached for comment. Peace be upon her.
