Don't get between a lady and her greens.

They're a treat ever year, but for some reason this year's crop is especially good. There's a floral thing going on there that's amazing.

All the good thoughts.

Ope, small error, it's CCAC, not Allegheny Community.

And there's the furry on "The Pitt."

Add Eric Rudolph to that list, but yeah.

Spicy and sweet generally go together.

Salty in the mix...complicates things.

Hot tamale is a good spicy Peep iteration.

I want to be a Pirates fan. PNC Park is such a great place to watch a game, and now that the Cubs are owned by complete assholes I've had to put that fandom in abeyance.
But the Pirates management just insists on making any deep connection with the team a passport to misery.

My dad has butt-dialed Christina Aguilera more than once.

Helluva night to watch "The Best Years of Our Lives."

They're doing a great job of dropping in regional refs (naming Sonny's Tavern on the same night they had an armed robbery was pure serendipity) but they need way more strong yinzer accents.

Now, if they have a furry show up before it's all over, they'll get a gold star.

Whelp, there goes the Arco Minero.

This really is meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

She used to be a busy public figure in the area but to the best of my knowledge she's not been out much in quite some time.
But I don't get over to Braddock much at all so take what I'm saying with that in mind.

He looks like he's porking up again since the most recent health crisis.

I'd give a lot for one of the Happy Joe's taco pizzas of my childhood. They did a kraut and Canadian bacon one too, that I admit is an acquired taste but, man, I loved it.

But, on the plus side, they might do well on Jeopardy!

One was a union pressman and contract negotiator (also mowed lawns and made wooden toys in retirement), the other grew up on a tobacco and hog farm, later sold feed and seed, had a Purina feed store for a while, and then after he was run out of business by the klan, clerked a convenience store.

So, it looks like I'm going to Aldis, then.

The moment we let people get away with being ironic about Nazis and all the isms that go with them we started building this.

It's the same oppositional doucheyness that Fetterman was tainted with pre-stroke. The latter just masked its fundamental toxicity by using it mostly for good. Then he had the stroke and how he defined good changed.

He reminds me of that one guy who assaulted every woman in that one company in the TAMU Corps of Cadets.

Because, spiritually, that's where they are and that's the only place they want to be.

So much of the lore of this era will be rooted in the malign, incompetent, and crazy being great at building out their networks and advancing their protΓ©gΓ©s while the good, competent, and sane, not so much.

Are pronouncements like this why he was removed from platoon command?

Cripes, he sounds the coach of the villainous hockey team in a Mighty Ducks installment.

No quibbles with the bravery or the piloting skill but the part of the citation published here is classically Trumpian.
"Countless American lives?" The Chinook still has a maximum carrying capacity right? I know they can't give exact numbers given the unit but "countless?"

Dammit, I'm going to have to go stock up on tinned fish, aren't I?

Better than even chance that he's in the Corps but is a D&C guy w/ no commissioning contract.

We've stretched the boundary of what constitutes a technical to meaninglessness.
