You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Burrell!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I note that Alaska is not on that BBQ map, and therefore call shenanigans. Due to oil and military postings, we get a lot of Southerners up there (poor things), and some have stayed to open up BBQ joints. They tend to be either Texas or KC-style.

Also, Susan, I think there's a BBQ joint near downtown called... Steel Pig? At least, it was there in 2004, and mighty tasty.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Happy Birthday, Burrell!

They're nicer to Pacific Northwest than I would be--I'd probably use some term like "no-barbecue wasteland."

Ditto the Northeast.

Yeah, my first thought was "There is no barbecue in most of those places." Ultimately, it's not about the sauce. It's about how the meat is cooked. With what I think of as real barbecue, the sauce is on the side.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I might try that one, juliana. It seems to be a love it or hate it place, based on the reviews.

Yep. (Well, sometimes you mix a leeetle sauce with the pulled pork before serving.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just talked to my mom. My nephew wants to be a pirate for Halloween!

I'm so proud.

She's taking him to get a costume tomorrow.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep yep yep. It's smoked, and it's sloooow, and if the only thing that makes it barbecue comes out of a bottle, then it isn't.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Where are all the peoples? You're all watching and talking about TV that I won't have time for until Thanksgiving, aren't you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm watching and not talking about TV you won't have time for until Thanksgiving.

That's how it works in my head.

Allyson, that's awesome! Mine probably wants to be a transformer.

And goddamnit. Devi puked again and has diarrhea AND it happened once outside the box just before she urped. Vet tommorrow, first thing. It's freaking me out. She's my babycat.
