Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

[isulive2train]

You know, this reminds me...so I took Thursday afternoon off to go eat lunch with little00 at school. There's this kid in his class, boy is laaarge. Keep in mind, little00 is in kindergarten, so at age 5, kid is already heading down a bad path. He happened to be at the next table, facing me, so I pretty much had to watch him eat his lunch when I wasn't turning to face little00. He brought lunch from home, so he was sitting and eating while little00 went thru the line, so I can't vouch for what he might have ate before we sat down. What I saw he ate....started out with a ziploc bag of potato chips, mowed those down with no hesitation. Onto the candy bar. Like, not a 'chocolate covered granola bar' or something, thing was a full on (fun sized) candy bar. He enjoyed that ****, had it on his face and stuff. Then some sort of tortilla rollup thing. After that, he brought out the Hi-C drink box. Finally, a full banana.

It's like...how do you tell a parent that they're ruining their kid by trying to make them happy and fulfilled constantly? The kid doesn't know any better, he just has a bag full of junk and eats it. I mean the banana was the closest to appropriate food in there. As much as I joke about pork fat, sununvabich, I'm going to make sure my kids eat relatively healthy.

<endrant, sorry>

No kale?

You won't fit in her long with that attitude. It is easier to just join the rest of us that are in the "no fashion sense crowd".

He's not trying to fit in. He's trying to do something he doesn't think a dozen other people haven't tried (and failed) to do in this thread before.

Women/stylish men of RTT: The Ocho....

I need help figuring out what to wear with this bachelor party shirt I'll be wearing at the Kentucky Derby (Infield, not the grandstands).

From what I've heard about the infield it's probably best to wear a condom.

Was watching dateline last night and it was the Boone, IA case. A medical examiner from S. Dakota kept saying home-acide.

Dateline in Boone? Were they investigating Hawkeye fan bathroom orgies?

anyone wearing that should have their *** kicked

If I caught myself wearing that, I'd have to kick my own ***

I tried to find a gif of that, but I couldn't.

Current conversations....running and NASCAR (the WWE of motorsports, it's half fake and more about the show).


GTO, you around? We need to start talking about pork products or something. I believe Erik said something about a Baconator before. Also want to try this sometime:

Maybe for my 40th birthday party.

I had started the process of smoking ribs yesterday morning (the ribs were marinating, the hickory chips were soaking and the rib rub was made). Mrs. JCyclonee then announced that she had planned a dinner night with friends. I'm glad I decided to go out to dinner with the friends because it was a lot of fun. I froze the marinated ribs. I guess we'll see how those turn out in the near future.

The meat market makes all kinds of brats. I had a couple samples of these, they're delicious.

Has anybody else here had gummi bear brats yet? I know they sound disgusting but the're actually pretty good. They add just a little sweetness to the sausage.

So dh didn't get much sleep, then mowed after he got home, was doing some of his laundry and scrubbed the toilets (while I also did a bunch of stuff today) and just when he was about to sit, his dad calls with computer questions. And I can tell by dh's tone and the length of the convo that he is not having fun.

How do they do it? Are the gummy bears a glaze?

They're chopped up pretty small. There isn't a whole bunch in there. Just a few to add some flavor.

Assuming they hey chop them up, mix them in with the meat and then tube them. When the brats heat up the "gummy" melts and oozes along the meat

Boxster, have you ever run any of the Rock'n'Roll half marathon series races? Chicago on July 17th looks interesting to me.

Ha, I am 64 now and running is pretty much years in my rear view mirror. I miss it a lot and enjoy you guys talking about it.

Mostly ran 5K, 10K, 5 milers and the Bix 7 a bunch of times. The same right foot metatarsal fractures and strains that finally retired me keep my mileage below marathon training distances. Longest race was Twin Cities Lakes 25k.

Black or navy blue blazer with the green shirt, I'd say. As long as you're wearing blue jeans, you can do a black blazer with brown shoes, I'd think.

Cheap and casual linen blazer.

Crazy day in WI.

I beat Sloth today even though he fought dirty. Did hours of yard stuff. Each break I took Sloth would be telling me "Come on, man, your rotator cuff is hurtin', ain't it? Go inside an take a nap or something."
Putting the bag of frozen peas back on my shoulder.

I'd totes wear that. Though I'm no where near skinny enough to pull of the white pants that dude is wearing.
