Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There's a Cincinnati chili place a block from my apartment. I'd never had it before. Interesting. But I'm not down with that noodle shit. I get it with beans, onions, and cheese, like God intended.
It's hella better than their "traditional" chili, where they seem to think lots of jalapenos are as far as seasoning needs to go. But I have a feeling they only have that for the people who freak at the Cinci style.

It's *supposed* to have beans, onions, and cheese, along with the spaghetti.
I'm with Frank. Where I grew up, chile is sacred. Not midwestern heresy. You do not defile chili or chile.
(my parents are midwesterners. I can denigrate them.)
I love my stress telescope. Did I mention that? I made it a dialog bubble I will pin to officemate's. It says "SAVE ME!"
I also added a distressed face.
Even if the dis doesn't come, this episode is amusing the hell out of me. Alton's wearing a big fake mustache and talking in a bad cowboy accent. He hasn't really broken character once yet, even though it's ridiculous.
t not interested in being baited tonight
I like both kinds of chili.
So there.
Anne!!!!
Someday, I will ahve to try Cincinnati Chili. The closest I think I have come is GD Ritzy's (regional chain), which does the spaghetti thing, and you have to add beans if you want them, but I have no idea how it relates to the real (not real chili) thing. And so, I will forego speaking on the subject.
I will say, however, that I enjoy ordering "3-way chili". It makes me smile.
When I was in school at Marquette back in the mid-80s, the only place to go after the bars closed was to Real Chili, whose slogan was "Breakfast of Champions." IIRC, they did have the option of getting your chili Cincy-style, as did the Union's chili bar, but I thought it was just too weird to have pasta at the bottom of my chili bowl.
Ooh, this pisses me off. I see where his priorities lie.

Edit: And this is what he said earlier in the day at Auschwitz.
"Gathered in this place we are reminded that such immense cruelty did not happen in a faraway, uncivilized corner of the world, but rather in the very heart of the civilized world," Cheney said. "The death camps were created by men with a high opinion of themselves -- some of them well educated and possessed of refined manners -- but without conscience. The story of the camps reminds us that evil is real and must be called by its name and must be confronted."
