“Fucking Massie,” Donald rumbled, his bald head cool in the summer morning.
“He’s a libertarian,” the hat said, “Nobody cares about them.”
“He defied me,” Donald said.
“And we will primary him,” the hat said. “I’m sure Kentucky has plenty of people that we can promote.”
“I don’t want any Kentuckian at all in the seat,” Donald said. “The entire state is dead to me.”
“Maybe we can find someone in Ohio,” the hat said soothingly.
“Ohio? Where they make that shitty chili? Didn’t care for that, not at all. Gross. Vomit emoji,” Donald said.
“Are you not going, to like, chime in here?” the hat asked the hair.
“I’m busy,” the hair said, squatting on his laptop like a furred toad.
“Throw me, Donald,” the hat said and the fuming man threw him at the hair. He landed short but managed to turn it into an awkward roll.
“Let me see,” the hat demanded.
“You might not want to,” the hair said.
“Let me see!” the hat whined, pushing against the hair.
“Donald!” the hair cried. “He’s bullying me again.”
Donald was hunched over his phone and furiously pecking out letters.
“Oh, God,” the hat said when he finally looked at the screen.
“I told you,” the hair said.
“His eyes seem to follow you,” the hat said as he swayed back and forth.
“What are you two talking about?” Donald demanded and they both moved aside.
“That motherfucker is not real!” Donald exclaimed.
“He did the meme! He did the meme!” the hat squealed in delight.
“Ohio? Where they make that shitty chili? Didn’t care for that, not at all. Gross. Vomit emoji,” Donald said.
Meow.
Do not slander all of Ohio with the effluence that comes out of the southern region.
I will defend Cincinnati-style chili to my dying day! In fact, I’ll probably have some for dinner tonight – Skyline Dip Chilitos! Mmmmm!!! 😋🌯🌯
Well Skyline was my hangover recovery spot, back before I decided to quit fast food and massive alcohol intake.
Cincinnati chili over fresh cornbread is fucking awesome. I will fight everyone over this.
Cincinnati is a fine meat sauce, but it’s not chili.
::suddenly remembers cornbread mix packets in pantry:: ☝️😃
Gender Traitor:
If we’re going for immigrant style
chilihot dog sauce, Tony Packo’s is the correct choice.Doesn’t Ohio have a pizza style that’s worse than deep dish too?
Ah! We made a point of eating at Tony Packo’s the last time we went up to Toledo/Maumee Bay State Park! Next time we’ll pick up some of the sauce!
CPA:
That is a joint Ohio/Pennsylvania abomination. Ohio Valley pizza, where you take a crust, sauce it, put on toppings (sans cheese), and bake it. Then after you take it out of the oven, you sprinkle the cold shredded cheese on top. Theoretically, the residual heat of the pizza in the box will melt the cheese. Theoretically…
Cheese is supposed to be more than melted, you should have some browning. You don’t get that with ‘residual heat’.
CPA, the only objection I recall to Ohio pizza is the common-but-not-universal practice of cutting it into little square pieces. But at least our pizza can’t be folded into origami cranes.
Pizza is supposed to be foldable. If you’ve got too much bread under it to fold, thin your crusts.
Thin crust, absolutely, but just crispy enough NOT to be foldable.
GT:
You guys don’t have the cans of sauce, jars of pickles, and hot dogs in the store? I can go pick them up at quite a few grocery stores near here.
Pub cut is just messy and inefficient, and to add further complications to the Ohio pizza wars, there’s also Cleveland style pizza. Which… yeah, it’s pizza. Crust is sturdy enough to not dip when picking it up, not foldable, robust sauce, and a cheese blend.
BLASPHEMY!
I once ate at a diner in Cleveland which microwaved the burger I ordered. I ceased to care what our Northern neighbors think about food that day.
Ok, let me start with what I agree on:
– The chain restaurants that serve “Cincinnati chili” are not very good.
– A meat sauce with cloves, cinnamon, allspice, mace, nutmeg, or similar spices should not be categorized as chili.
Now here’s the part that makes people get felonious with me: That meat sauce I described CAN be good. From what I read, it’s a concoction that is made in Greece/Macedonia, and immigrants from those regions started the “Cincinnati chili” chains that are so reviled today. They knew that Americans would be weirded out by whatever they call it back home, so they pretended it’s another version of a familiar American dish – chili.
I make something out of ground beef (lamb if I can find it), a good amount of well-carmelized onions, garlic, those spices I listed above, oregano, tomato paste, beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and a splash of red wine vinegar. I consider it a pasta sauce rather than chili. It’s good. Way better than whatever is served at Skyline.
Skyline piles on so much cheese that even dairy farmers think they’ve gone too far. Vomit emoji.
I freely admit that Skyline doesn’t do chili well.
Man, I miss the Bethesda Hard Times. Not only did they do solid chili, they had some of the best grilled wings I’ve had anywhere…
Correct — Skyline is a form of goulash.
Goulash isn’t made with ground meat. Chili is. Chili made with chunks of meat is called ‘stew.’
Now you’re just splitting Hares.
No, you jug hares.
Ignore this anti-cheesite.
…at your peril!
For clarity, I like Cincinnati chili. You just have to remember it’s not actually chili.
Also, the best use (if you like it)
12 oz of canned or frozen chili
One package of cream cheese (room temperature)
.5 to 1 pound of finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Pressed the soften cream cheese into a 9×9 baking dish, top with chili and then cheese. Bake at 350 until the cheddar is bubbly. Serve with Fritos.
I’ve also done it with ranch beans for the CC-adverse.
And CC over a baked potato is real damn good too.
Dip of champions!! 😋👍
I would be pooping cinder blocks after that.
Worth it? Maybe…
My sister-in-law makes this for all of the gatherings and it is scarfed down quickly. Diced onions are included.
So, Northern style Ro-Tel dip?
Sort of, but it retains its layers.
What I am reading here is that you need a poop knife if you eat Skyline chili.
Is that right?
It’s probably all the cheese.
But every proper home should have a poop knife.
OMG you retarded MAGATs and your fancy white privilege toilets and poop knives! Learn to poop on the sidewalk like BIPOC San Franciscans do!
That looks nothing like Biden. It looks like that actor George Hamilton.
Zorro, the Gay Blade!
I suppose that’s real.
That must be why they put the black aviators on him all the time.
This is one of those Tuskeegee Airmen memorial thingies?
I have no idea what’s going on here.

Debating a certain type of peasant food I think.
My wife’s chili wasn’t what most people consider to be chili. She started calling it bean soup, which is far more accurate. Slightly different from her “chili” version though.
Even peasants wouldn’t stoop so low…
Sounds to me like Trump is getting ready to flip Kentucky blue like he did Georgia senate seats by primarying Massie and Paul with a couple of MAGA lightweights and dimbulbs.
He can’t distinguish between his actual enemies and allies who just want him to be consistent. It’s his biggest weakness.
That’s not just drugs – I think that Uncle Joe’s implanted neuroteleprompter just went haywire…
All those tapes that were supposedly seized from Diddy’s houses – just bs? Or are they now stored next to the Epstein tapes by the FBI?
They are being properly secured inside a Corvette in Joe’s Garage.
**Plookin’ too hard on me!!!
Brilliant. Several legit laughs, with “furred toad” and “Throw me, Donald” delivering a delightful double-punch.
I’m off to gambol with my nephews, arriving shortly. I’ll do my best to impart the wisdom and insight you’ve delighted me with.
WTF w that Biden pic?! I haven’t the time to find nor watch the ‘Sit-down,’ but fuck. Uh. SiL’s bestie during the debate: “Uh… I wish we had someone better than a corpse to defeat Trump…” –> Their cognitive dissonance will intensify. They *cannot* admit they were wrong, or even lied to. That would be anathema to their ‘identity.’
It’s anathema to them. “How long’ve you been waiting to squeeze that in?” ~Seinfeld
Assuming there really was an interview, did Comrade Joe say anything coherent?
I believe the Hair was yanking it to that photo.
Perfection, just perfection!
It would be a blast to play with
Life update. My mission to ride my motorcycle from Texas to Montana has been scrubbed, I will instead fly and rent a car. My sister is going through hell and I’d like to make sure I make it up there. The MC trip was planned before the diagnosis, and although she wanted me to still do my ride, she was originally only a stopping point along the way instead of a legit visit, and I need a legit visit. My daughter also wanted to go and I didn’t want her driving her shit box 3500 miles.
I work with a good friend and he travels for work a lot. He used his miles and gave my daughter and I free air fare. Not just that, first class! I’ve never flown first class before. Should be a good visit.
Dang, your friend is a mensch! International first class is where it’s at, but it should still be a pleasant journey.
Safe travels and best wishes for your sister.
He is indeed. I doubt I ever go international first class without winning the lotto, and since I don’t play…
Many thanks for the good wishes.
🍻 🥂
Drink them free drinks!
My first international business class trip from from LA to London. We got plastered on the plane and arrived at dawn in London.
We heard you were supposed to try to stay awake until night local time. So we went sightseeing. Jet lagged and hungover is not a great way to visit London.
I eventually stopped drinking any alcohol on long flights.
The free drinks are, indeed, nice but kinnath knows what’s up – when I went to Germany for work, everyone else hit the lights and tried to sleep while I enjoyed the free beers – I think I was the only person awake in business class.
Landing in Frankfurt at something like 6AM local time made for a long day.
Had a trip to Hanover in the 90’s. Got to Germany and was dead tired in the middle of the morning, so I went to bed. Woke up at 2 am and I decided to watch some TV. They had a gameshow named “STRIP”, It was hilarious. Also, phone sex lines with the women seductively saying 08-008-8080, “Oh acht, oh oh acht, acht oh acht oh.” I was cracking up.
Monkey motion motor, FTW!
The problem relates to the 1.5 and 2.0-liter variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines fitted to the 2021-2024 Nissan Rogue, 2019-2020 Nissan Altima, 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50 and 2022 Infiniti QX55. Nissan thinks some have been fitted with badly manufactured bearings that could grenade the engines.
But Nissan isn’t about to pull the pin on an engine-replacement program for all 443,899 potentially affected cars. First, it wants to get those vehicles into dealer service centers so technicians can drop their oil pans and take a look inside.
If metal debris is detected, Nissan will repair, but more likely replace, the engine. If the pan is clean the techs will bolt it all back together and send you on your way with a clean pan of oil and a clean bill of health. The process is slightly different for the two engines: 2.0-liter motors just get the fresh oil, but the 1.5s also get a new sump gasket and a reprogrammed engine control module.
Sure, blame the supplier, not your Rube Goldberg design.
“His eyes seem to follow you,” the hat said as he swayed back and forth.“
OK, I did sway back and forth.* Yes, the eyes do seem to follow you.
*And don’t act like I’m the only one.
You aren’t fooling me, that’s a portrait with peep holes in the eyes and the eyes belong to Old Man Johnson, who is trying the scare people away from his mansion as part of an elaborate real estate scam Scooby and Shaggy are about to expose by accident.
“I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you meddlin’ Glibertarians!”
I Do Cars did another one of those Nissan motors recently. I just went back and checked. The rod bearings were trashed.
The standard 4s and V6s have always run well and been very reliable.
But I won’t touch anything with a turbo.
And the extra bottom end cam/mechanism for the variable compression.
I have a supercharger on the current daily driver.. it sucked an intake part into the throttle body.. (seems to be a known issue).. you just unbolt the intake and put the part back where it should be. (and inspect for movement every oil change).
