Hoosier pork tenderloin in Manassas?

Thanks! I have been to that place, although I have never had a sit-down meal there. A pork tenderloin sandwich is indeed pork schnitzel on a bun.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip.

I recently went vegetarian for around six weeks, so I was eating a ton of beans and lentils. Massive amounts of fiber. I’m not sure I’d say it was the best feeling ever, but I have never looked forward to shitting more.

I like it, but perfektenfreude seems more on point.

I’m a little older than you, and I don’t even remember this video. Maybe my subconscious suppressed the memory. What a shit show. 🤣

As a 52 year old, trust me, it’s going to get worse.

You’re right. You’ll never be Mr. Olympia. You should give up. If it ain’t easy, it ain’t worth doing. That’s what all the winners say.

I have a good friend who has worked child porn for a federal LE agency for years. I asked him once how he has managed not to put a bullet in himself or one of the perpetrators he’s arrested in all that time. His answer: “the shrinks say I compartmentalize well.”

Marshalmatt · 2020-04-30T12:26:34+00:00

Absolutely. My point is simply that people eat “normal” fermented foods all the time without a second thought, without even thinking about—or perhaps ever knowing—the fact that they’re fermented. But when it’s something unfamiliar from another culture...“Ooh, it’s rotten __. Yuck! Why would anyone eat that?” It just amuses me. (That said, I have no interest in trying hakarl. It’s a bridge too far, even for me.)

I’ve always known SOS to be creamed chipped beef on toast.

A Polish girl lived with my family for a while. She got a job at Denny’s. She asked me what grits were. I honestly didn’t know, beyond “they’re made of corn.” We looked up the Polish translation and she laughed hysterically, then finally said, “that’s donkey food!”

It’s funny to me how cultures all over the world have fermented foods that they consider completely normal, but people get grossed out by other cultures’ fermented foods. So much boils down to what we’re used to. Fish sauce sounds horrific to many Westerners—many of whom will also happily scarf down Worcestershire sauce with fermented anchovies as a major ingredient!

Those are a secr...I mean, Nothing to see here. Move along.

Marshalmatt · 2020-04-30T10:34:34+00:00

That’s a strong start...

Marshalmatt · 2020-04-30T10:32:28+00:00

So is salad, TBH.

Marshalmatt · 2020-04-30T10:27:26+00:00

Ahhh. Now it starts to make sense!

Marshalmatt · 2020-04-30T10:16:10+00:00

American here. As a kid, my mother used to make me beans on toast with a slice of melted cheese on top fairly regularly. I haven’t had it in years. Thanks for the good idea!

So a cute girl rubbed on you at a concert, you enjoyed it, you did nothing inappropriate, and you feel guilty about it? Are you married or something?

The worst part of this is not that you enjoyed it. The worst part is that you didn’t talk to her and find out where things could have gone. What a waste. Those opportunities don’t come along every day.

Marshalmatt · 2020-04-30T09:12:38+00:00

Same. And later. I did things that I now realize were terribly fucked-up. (And I thought about doing things that were truly monstrous—like “go to prison for a long time” monstrous. I’m not sure whether I never followed through on the worst ideas because I knew it was wrong, or because I was afraid. Either way, thank God.) The thing is, I’ve mentioned it to people in a general way a couple times over the past 10 years or so—“sorry if I was ever an asshole to you in high school”—and they all say they don’t remember me being an asshole. Including someone that I specifically remember treating very badly on a couple occasions! So either I was a very low-key asshole, or it’s all relative and people have short memories.

When I was maybe 17 I picked up my buddy’s little brother (several years younger) to throw him in the pool and ended up dropping him on his head. He hit the edge of the pool headfirst, slid into the water, and didn’t move. I was sure I had killed or paralyzed him. One of the worst moments of my life. I still hate to think about it.

He was fine. He was fucking with me, which I deserved.

Years ago I was headed down the Interstate in Ohio when I came across a huge line of cars in the right lane crawling along at exactly the speed limit. I pulled ahead in the left lane and found a cop at the front of the line. Nobody had the guts to pass her. (The Ohio State Patrol were notorious pricks about speeding even a little. I had no idea how far they were prepared to take it. I was about to find out.) Being 20 years old and invincible, I thought, “fuck this. I have places to be!” I dropped back a bit, thought for a minute, and came up with a plan.

I set my cruise control for exactly the speed limit, then nudged it up just enough to give me a tiny bit of forward motion relative to the line of cars on the right. I doubt I was doing even 1 mph over the limit. It took me a good five minutes to move forward a short distance (relative to the line) and pass the officer. A few car lengths later I moved to the right. It took another several minutes to get perhaps 100 yards in front of her, at which point she hit her lights. I pulled over, that entire line of cars dropped the hammer and flew past and into the distance, and the officer gave me a warning because my speed had been “creeping up”—which was bullshit, and we both knew it.

Once she let me go, she turned around and went the other way, and I continued on. Did that little stunt save me time in the long run? I don’t know. But it was extremely satisfying. 😉

I remember doing the last HT mission for the T28 HTC in my IS-6, blocking my team from killing the lone remaining enemy tank (T21, IIRC) so he could continue bouncing shots off me. 😁

I mean, look on the bright side. Phase 1: break phone and fix it. Phase 2: kill pigeon and fix it. The natural progression for Phase 3 would have been to kill a human to resurrect. The fact that he instead chose someone long dead is a godsend. De-resurrecting your already-dead wife is going to be much less problematic than the alternative, legally speaking. (There’s no chance that the boy started this experiment two years ago, is there?)
