I moved from Tennessee to Oxford, Mississippi in 2008, then to the central part of the state near Jackson in 2012. Occasionally I do business in the southern part of the state and my wife's company is headquartered in New Orleans and we go down there a few times a year.

The closer you get to New Orleans, the better the bread.

Free buttered garlic rolls is what you want.

That post was too much of a downer for a Packers football night so I deleted it.

Loved the Polka intro for the game. I grew up in upstate New York where you could listen to WHAM Rochester, 50,000 watts of Polka.

Sort of took me back.

I found, back before IBOC made it impossible, that if you tuned in a local AM radio station and carefully nulled it away with your highly directional phased array antenna system, that there was inevitably another station under it playing polka music, usually in Pittsburgh.

Polish polka radio from New Castle, PA.

I am really into college and pro football currently.

Acid Jazz is on my iphone 6s now too!

I have always been interested in swarmy ethnic cock-that has never changed. I find white cock boring and white.

Go Pats!

This is a link showing concern: How cannot you?

Like vodka, rum, gin, and the other one, some clear fluids aren't water yet, sans-package, could hurt kids.

It all looks the same to a child, without the package.

Are you gonna let that happen?

Good God Almighty what has become of us?

"50,000 watts of Polka."

The FCC allows that?

Free baguette at my house.

It's never perfect. Breadsters always doubt. Mine is getting good, though.

My mom's bread was perfect! Every loaf!

New hole-in-the-wall opening here with sign advertising "Beignets."

In Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. There can't be more than three people, myself included, who have tasted one.

Who'd a thunk?

Greg Hlatky said...

Free beer tomorrow.

M stone: if you ever get to Mineral Point, WI there is an authentic Japanese restaurant there. The wife/owner lived in the area where the earthquake/tsunami happened and she and her husband wanted to get the heck out of "dodge". Her husband's family was from Dodgeville, so they moved to Wisconsin.

Food was very good, even if the service was a little off.

Panini: know the name?

Arrrrhhhh!!!!! Damn autocorrect.

I started dating a girl, named Peace.

Some douche, now a rich, rich douche cashing six figures from Uncle Sam each and every year, for his crop failures, plus plenty of other graft, gave me a bunch of shit for dating Peace.

Biggest whore in the county and fucked two brothers at once and yada yada yada he told me to my face.

Peace is now married to a "friend" of the douche.

Were I as dumb in-person as I am online, death would become me much more than she do.

So I got that going for me.

I really got into high school football this year. Every game most of the players are playing hearts out. Pro football is meaningless by comparison.

George M. Spencer said...

The tyrant issued a memo ordering the destruction of the nation's immigration policy. No law, not even, apparently, an executive order.

No worries, though. I hear President Roosevelt gave a speech before Congress today, the eighth of December. He did it while America slept.

On the other hand I'm winning the NFL pick-'em at work. A couple extra bucks never hurt anybody.

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...

I also won the 50-50 at one of high school games. Fooot-bahl has been vehry, vehry a-good to me.

I'm missing a couple of definitive articles, if you've seen them laying around...

Witness Andrew Sullivan continuing to be accepted as a respectable member of the chattering classes, despite his bugfuck insane ravings about Sarah Palin's Fake Pregnancy Fat Suit.

CAN I GET A WITNESS?

I'll say it again:

CAN I GET ME A DAMN(ed) WITNESS UP IN HERE?

Morgan Burnette played in the same region during high school as Cam Newton and Eric Berry.

Eric was the only one I thought wouldaadewoulda it to the pros. Great kid.

Morgan called my mom Miss Betty. Even better kid.

Cam was a jackass douchebag even then.

mccullough said...

HT,

jones is a decent player. He was drafted 6 spots ahead of JJ Watt, who is the NFL's best player. If course Cam Newton was the top pick that year. I think 4 SEC players were drafted ahead of Watt. And all the GMs who made those mistakes had to listen to their owners say, "how the fuck did you pass up Watt for [insert overrated SEC player]?

But they were fun to watch on Saturdays, like Tebow and Manziel.

But can you make money wagering it? I'm talking Trump money, not "here's your five bucks" money.

FYI, the Big Ten had the most starters on the last 7 Super Bowl winners.

And even the "[Un]" in Mark Steyn's book "The [Un}Documented Mark Steyn" I consider me.

I know they like that, and I intend to improve my relative position.

Andrew Breitbart was murdered and I hate you all.

How could I the commoner relate: poorly.

Boric acid?, carbon monoxide?, cyanide?, atropine?, scopolamine?

Breitbart died too young. He did more than his part, though. He set in motion much of the backlash against blacklash.

On an island of creatively deceptive liars, the way to ask the way to the village is ask "Did you know that they're giving away free beer in town?" and follow him.

Oh my goodness. Twitchy has a Dem oppo research book with high school yearbook pictures. Scott Walker's mullet is featured prominently! http://twitchy.com/2014/12/08/awesome-mullet-opposition-research-book-consists-mainly-of-republicans-old-yearbook-pics/

"...that there was inevitably another station under it playing polka music."

LOL. The inherently subversive nature of polka is related to this bit by Adam Carolla, about Ranchero accordian music.

"50,000 watts of Polka."

My brother, a kid at the time and a radio buff, he still works in radio, called it the "Polka Blowtorch."
