How many Championships?

I think it's on Netflix now, it's entertaining as gently caress but definitely some gruesome matches mixed in there.

At a party once my friend and I "invented" pickle shots. I'm sure they've been done before, but whatever. You get a large whole dill pickle, cut a couple inches off the end, and hollow it out a bit with a melon baller or whatever. Then fill with vodka or gin. Drink, then eat the shot glass.

I found really good hot n sweet pickles at the store once but I ate almost the entire jar watchin tv. The results were.... explosive.

I used to mix Blackberry Manishevitz or Carlo Rossi Sangria and whatever cheap vodka was around in my early 20s. It got you drunk but the hangovers were awful.

Manischewitz must have something put in it to make the angriest hangovers possible. It causes me nothing but pain.

Fun fact: Bain Capital owns the Manischewitz brand, which actually doesn't make the wine at all. The name is just licensed to E&J Gallo, who do.

I don't think they ever got the last season. I saw one episode of it and I think Dario Cueto's dad had killed him and replaced him as the promoter?

My flight back home from
Maryland with Southwest after New Year's had me fairly nervous when my layover was in Chicago.

I got a flight to Missouri at the end of the month with a layover in Denver. Last time I flew to Missouri my connecting flight was cancelled while I was midair on my first leg of my journey.

I did notice some travel websites are offering "green" options which are just cheaper nonstop flights with the idea that these are better than having multiple airplanes burning fuel over shorter distances.

There's also the matter of shutting things down in order to fix them, and the fact that no one wants to be inconvenienced for that. A water main broke on our street yesterday morning and we didn't have running water for 14 hours, and it sucked.

Portland had to shut down a section of I-84 last weekend so that the upgrade to the TriMet MAX Rail could be installed.

Luckily I didn't have to drive anywhere near it but I did see the traffic it generated.

had to involuntarily commit a patient last night

kept threatening to leave AMA, kept refusing a transfer to a higher level of care, uncertain psych diagnoses (probably bipolar, definite cluster b traits, maybe drug induced psychosis) pending DV charges, has made multiple threats to murder his wife and himself, was multiple suicidal threats made to staff while in detox, broke into an office twice to use a phone to call and harass his wife, etc.

when I submitted the petition to the magistrate, he was very quiet and focused for about 12 minutes while he reiterated specific parts, and I thought he was just going to deny it but it turns out he was retyping the whole thing because my hand writing is so bad. got to put my hand on the Bible and everything.

Went back to the clinic, cops showed up, separated him from group, sprung the news that he was heading to the puzzle factory, he burst into tears and that was that.

My thought process was that if he left AMA his wife and kids would only have a few hours notice before he got drunk and tried to find them. At least with him being IVC'd his family now has 72 hours to make arrangements. possible that his constant threats to leave AMA were just drug seeking behavior, but hey, you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.

feels good! hope he gets the help he needs and wife and kids are safe.

Well either I invented it or yes, I have heard of it :v: Certainly not as common a concept in LA spots as Chicago/East Coast bars though.

Had to ask. Pickle-back shots are common enough you can say them out loud, normally, and we’d know what we you mean.

Key West pushes em so they’re a staple down there. Most port towns seem to have their own bar that claims ownership of their origin (Jacksonville, Wilmington, etc) since Pickles were so easy to transport in ships etc

Quick question, do any of you use Walmart Plus, and if so, do you like it?

We just cancelled Prime after 10+ years. The Amazon Drive is shutting down and we almost never get two day delivery even with two distribution centers 30 miles on the opposite side of us. It just doesn’t seem worth $150, but to their credit, they gave me a full refund even though it’s been a couple of months.

The gently caress, weren't they trying to ship you to Europe like six months ago?

They were probably a lousy company to work for anyway, though I doubt that's much comfort to you in the moment.
