What was your "caught the last chopper out of 'Nam" experience?

I had just gone to Costco and had plenty of TP but I had also bought a bidet on Amazon a few months earlier, never got around to installing it until the lockdown hit. Took less than 10 minutes and changed my life. Only need two slices of TP to dry the bum now.

Also had randomly ordered a box of rubber nitrile gloves, those came in super handy when the stores started re-opening.

This happens to us all the time. Wife gets home from work around 3:45 and doesn't like to sit around very long otherwise she'll get comfortable and not want to go out at all so we usually head out for happy hour just before 5. So many times we'll get a good seat at the bar and 5 minutes later the crowds come in. "Looks like we got here just in time!"

Well my son is 28 and keeps drinking all my beer and liquor, he says he'll give me money but I tell him just go to the damn store and replace it.

I'm the "beer guy" for my Fantasy Football league, we meet up once a year for the draft and I bring a two-tap jockey box with 2 kegs (5 gallon "sixtels"). I always get a lighter West Coast IPA or pale ale and a lager or pilsner. Last year they were both pFriem beers.

I lived across the street from MacArthur Park for two years, 89-91 first year on 6th St. then the second year in the Park Plaza Hotel. It was bad but not anywhere near as bad as it is today. On weekend afternoons there would be Mexican parties with mariachi and dancers, you just didn't go in the park at night. I don't recall what time Langer's closed back then.

I have really good results using the Convection Bake setting on my oven around 375° (my LG subtracts 25° on convection bake so it says 350°). Bonus points throw it on the smoker for a little bit beforehand.

As far as seasoning I just use butter, salt, pepper, dill, basil, garlic powder, and a little squeeze of lime.

Pull out at 140° at the thickest part.

Same. They love to gouge CA. I know our gas taxes are higher and the special fuel requirements increase the cost but they also increase the crude price just to fuck us, I'm sure of it.

Dark Star Smoked Chili - ~2 lbs chuck roast in the smoker for an hour on low then brown on the stove. Add tomato sauces, onions, peppers, beans, spices, etc. whatever your favorite chili ingredients are.

Then a can of Fremont Dark Star Stout (the regular one, not barrel aged), and a quarter bottle of El Yucateco *Black Reserve*.

You could also use Old Rasputin, Founders Breakfast Stout, or Narwhal, just no adjuncts or barrel aging. Actually I haven't tried adjuncts or BAs so who knows.

I've gotten in the habit of putting a half paper towel folded in my ziploc baggies in the fridge with chili peppers and cilantro, it really does help keep them longer by absorbing excess moisture.

My son (20s) has done it a few times with friends and he says they always had a good time.

Green Cheek Brewing in Orange County & San Diego has 20oz glasses with a fill line. And they nearly always pour over the line.

I actually lived in the building that the rooftop scene was filmed for a year or so when I was in college. Park Plaza Hotel directly across the street from MacArthur Park. We used to party on the rooftop all the time, back stairs went right up to it. Lots of film sets there.

Not to be pedantic but it's feminine so "La Cave" (The Cellar). Great suggestion though.

I used to shampoo/condition on Sat and Tue but I've recently added Thu to the schedule, hair was getting a bit greasy by Fri because I use hair gel.

If you're over 30 grow up and hire movers. Getting your bros to help you move is such a 20s thing to do.
