Could she beat him in a box? Would she beat him with a fox? Could she beat him here or there? She would beat him anywhere!

JD Vance leaves raw chicken in the middle of the grocery store pass it on

It’s time to break out a can of whoop-ass!!

In the Art History courses I’ve taken, they usually talk about nudity in the realm of “it represents fertility” or something like that. Yeah sure… Venus of Urbino is totally about “fertility” and she’s definitely not touching herself for any other reason.

I saw a pallet of candy corn at Meijer at the end of July. I bought a bag and it turned out to be the most fresh and delicious bag of candy corn I’ve ever eaten. Then I realized that all the stale candy corn I usually buy around October and am disappointed in is just super old because it sat around for 3 months before being eaten. So I’ve decided from now on, I will only enjoy candy corn during peak candy corn harvest in late July early August.

I do this with all sorts of mostly liquid food stuffs. I make a big giant batch and freeze it into various portion sizes to make quick healthy meals later. My favorite ones to make are:

• Chicken pot pie filling

• Spinach/basil pesto

• Kale pesto

• Falafel

• Lentil burger mix

• Cilantro sauce

• Ginger syrup

I either use a silicone cupcake tray to make 1/3 cup pucks or I use different size takeout containers that fit the portion size. Either way, it means I can keep churning out healthy foods/sauces in the summer from things in my garden and still enjoy them in the winter when produce at the grocery store isn’t as good. I usually can anything acidic like tomato sauce or apple sauce, but anyone can freeze that as well.

And then there’s you did everything you possibly could yourself and you did your best and saved tons of money, but now you actually do need to pay someone to do the thing you don’t trust yourself to do so you saved money just for the thing, but no contractor will agree to come do the thing because demand is high and they would rather do commercial projects. So yeah… You can’t even pay a pro and you’re just fucked 🤷

JD Vance puts his cast iron in the dishwasher pass it on

We still have one in Illinois but I’m not sure how it’s still holding on. Used to love going in there. Loads of specialized parts and equipment as well as staff that were super knowledgeable and helpful. But at least we have Microcenter now… Which is like if you took a Fry’s and scaled it down and made it work more like a car dealership 😭😭😭

I declare BANKRUPTCY!!!

Is it sad that I know “chiaroscuro” from Strongbad emails?

Not that this is how it should work at all, but wouldn’t an easy work around for this be to simply teach this as part of human anatomy In science class rather than sex education in health class or physical education? Or does it ban these things in all its forms throughout school? Maybe they can use photos of animal sex organs 😂

Sounds good

The whole chart is rather fascinating and eye opening: Vehicle visibility

Did some one say Ohio Tourism?

When I was a kid, my mom either bought or was gifted a little plush snowman that would say “Happy holidays! Happy holidays!” When you squeezed it. It would maybe get squeezed a few times in December and then put in a bin until the following year. No one ever changed the batteries and it still worked each year for many years. Then it started to run out of juice. And slowly over each year it would sound more and more demonic, but it always played at least once before running out of power. It’s now been more than 25 years and we still check it each year to see if the demonic snowman is still alive. I’m not sure it will ever die if it was never alive in the first place…

That’s a whole green olive… But still.

And that’s why, as a Midwesterner, I proudly put black olives on my tacos. And it’s tastes pretty damn great!

I’m actually surprised that this isn’t how it works at Trump rallies considering he is a former president. When I went to see Obama at the Lincoln National Cemetery, they had everyone arrive in a different location and then had them go through security before getting on busses to the real location where his speech would be. I’m assuming that’s what is happening for Kamala’s rallies as she is the current VP. But it also just makes sense from a security standpoint of a former president? I’m also no expert and just speculating.
