The Browns are on top of the AFC North. I repeat, the Browns, the CLEVELAND BROWNS, are on top of the AFC North. Local media is already talking about games getting flexed into prime time, while ignoring that our offense looks sadder than a WNBA fan athletic competition. But you don’t care about my petty sports fandom (it’s kind of a big deal here), so let’s get to the links…
When the Saints… go marching in…
Oh when those Saints go marching in.
For the Brewers, there’s good news, and bad news.
This was not OMWC. Do we seriously need to start assigning chaperones to visitors?
If you wanted a start into looking into how casks are made, this is solid.
An end of an era, or putting down the wheezing old pet? For reference, Neverwinter Nights still has active players.
Maybe the kids are alright, I’m personally happy about the rebound of pinball.
Refusal of air conditioning is ‘climate change’.
Look, they’re just broken.

Rioters… less intelligent than Yinzers.
I can see both sides, but I’ll default to the owners of the house.
(((They))) will lead you astray!
With all of that, let’s get to the drinks for the weekend. In honor of the Saints going to gay Paris to stomp the Stillers (hopefully), let’s highlight a drink from there
Sazerac
- Healthy pour of rye
- Small amount of absinthe
- Bitters (Peychaud to be traditional)
- Sugar cube
- Small amount of water (optional)
Now, for those who know a thing or two about a thing or two will notice that this looks to be a twist on the Old Fashioned, and they would be correct. Originally, the drink was made with brandy, as it was more popular due to the pernicious French influence. The Peychaud’s bitters called for also originally hail from New Orleans. I won’t tell if you use a different bitter though. The absinthe is traditionally a wasteful rinse, a dropper bottle or misting bottle are much better options to integrate a small amount into a drink than a rinse. This drink is usually built in a mixing pitcher instead of built in the glass (as the Old Fashioned is). So, to build this. rinse (if you must) your serving glass with absinthe, mist if you can, or add a couple of drops in with the bitters. In the mixing container, put in the sugar cube, 4 dashes of bitters, and about half a teaspoon of water (optional). Muddle that sugar cube in with the bitters, and you’ve made a simple syrup (you can use about a quarter ounce of simple instead), add ice, and 2-2.5 ounces of cognac, brandy, or rye, Stir to combine, strain into the chilled glass with the rinse of absinthe, and express and garnish with a lemon twist.
With that, I’ll let you get to the weekend. Let’s go Saints, Bengals, and Browns!
Wasteful? My God, man, what do you think I do with the absinthe, pour it down the sink?
The drink sounds good, except for the lemon twist.
Go Titans!
CSF, CSF, …
I miss this place.

I’ve never been, but good on them for going out on a high note rather than letting it decline. I hope they enjoy their retirement.
I cannot believe i am reduced to a world series between lavern and florida man
Cleetus made it 16 laps. Hard to tell from the in car camera what happened. Them trucks don’t look too stable running three wide.
This is important, because one talking point I hear is that these riots are not unique, and that violent protesting is as French as beurre on a baguette.
So what you’re saying is the French are uncivilized savages.
I’d Ilhan the ol’First for a few Shekels.
How many times I was called a conspiracy theorist by some dopey lefty for saying she married her brother.
And the stunner of all stunners is Biden’s DOJ just refusing to do anything even after the fraud was proven.
Did somebody say pinball?

Regarding the haunted house – it probably comes down to money. The city cannot tax it, so it must go. Fucking losers
Russia Russia Russia
The Russian government has launched a covert online influence campaign to sway public opinion and undermine both Democrats and Republicans sympathetic to Ukraine ahead of the midterms, two key Democratic lawmakers warned Wednesday.
Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.) and House Intelligence Committee ranking member Jim Himes (D-Conn.) told reporters Wednesday that the findings on Russia were detailed in a classified report on foreign election interference sent to their offices by the U.S. intelligence community earlier this week.
“It’s a carnival out there,” Himes said of Russia’s digital efforts, which he said aim to generate “a sense of chaos and anarchy.” According to Himes, Russian disinformation operations cover a range of topics, from sowing distrust in U.S. institutions to questioning the validity of voting machines.
As if we need any help from the Rooskys to undermine confidence in American political institutions.
