Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

With what I think of as real barbecue, the sauce is on the side.

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.

Aw, poor Devi! And poor you.

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.

I'd argue that it's a combo of sauce (or seasoning in the case of dry rubs) and cooking. Though the bland tasteless might-as-well-have-been-boiled ribs in Milwaukee fail to qualify on both counts.

At least the eastern half of Arkansas should be in the black with the Southern states. I've not had barbecue west of Little Rock, but from there east it's indistingushable from the Tennessee variety.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Poor Devi, and poor Sarameg.

My dinner plans people have the flu, so it's going to be another Exciting evening in the life of Lee.

Whee.

I'm thinking someone should bring me dinner.

not sick, just slight suffering from a tetanus shot.
