    This or That

    Chicken fried steak. I firmly believe chicken should be deep-fried and not pan-fried, baked or broiled. I support range-free chicken. Nirvana, utopia, or xanadu?

    Ohh, both excellent choices. I'll go with the rice krispie treats. Who is (or was) the better cook: You or your mother?

    I have seen some cowboys, and I have seen some aliens in the sense that they are from another place (not planet), but I have never seen them together. The person below me knows "O Canada" in French.

    I used to work with a lady who didn't read that well. Apparently she mis-read an expression which cracked me up when she used it. If she didn't like something, she'd "avoid it like the plaque". Not that plaque shouldn't be avoided.

    I've never been to a Tigers game. I'm not into baseball. The person below me finds that whiskey is a good painkiller.

    I don't eat fish often, but when I do, I prefer beer batter. Shoots right or left?

    It's actually "cut the muster" from when they would muster the troops and those troops who passed inspection (or "made the cut") were said to "cut the muster". Of course, it's been around for so long that some people insist that it is actually mustard and that the muster thing is just conjecture, so to each their own. Kind of like "nip it in the butt" for "nip it in the bud", but as a rose grower, I'm sure you know about nipping problem buds before they reach their full head.

    Nope. Day of the month, yes. Week? No. The person below me feels guilty when they try something on a friend's advice and don't like it.

    In most cases it's ok. The person below me has a method for dealing with upcoming events that they don't want to deal with, and will now share that method.

    Pill as needed. Apologize sincerely, but in an emotionally detached manner and break down later, or cry whilst apologizing?

    Butter pie? The person below me has met a real Admiral.

    There can only be three total (1C+2A or 3A) per game. If Kronner gets the A, they'd take turns like they did with Drapes. Technically, you could have 3 different guys each game, although that would be silly.

    Short article about fitness

    It was from the all-star game.

    Personal Dilemma

    Just throwing this out for those times when you can't find a stream: Once upon a yesteryear, I had the slowest dial-up on the planet and couldn't stream. I found that the games could always be streamed on the radio, albeit with a few second delay. It's not the same, but it's a pretty good "plan b" and better than nothing.

    I need to buy a new pair of pants for work (c-store). We have to wear black, khaki, or some other colour- I can't remember what. I wear black. The old ones wore so thin that they ripped so I used electrical tape to patch them to get me through my shift, but they stuck to my inner thigh every time I took them off, so they are gone. The person below me is in need of a haircut.

    Not so much farther along as wishing I had the financial wherewithall to go out there and do whatever I wanted. The person below me will now tell a short but funny joke.

    This or That

    I'm a do-it-yourselfer. If I don't have the time, it waits. Of course, since I live alone I can wait forever if needed. If I had a family, that would be a consideration. Do your dirty work and then shower, or shower twice?

    Kabibulin drops DUI appeal, will serve jail time

    Technically, the 20th, as it was started last century. Our jails here are like resorts. They seriously have it better than I do, and they get it for free. This guy is making it be an actual punishment. More power to him. I'm not in favour of going back to the old turn-of-the-last-century prisons where people were dependent on their families and churches to bring them food, but the women's prison in ND has such good food that I know girls that come out missing the caramel rolls. The women's prison in AZ is pretty nice too, from what I hear. Besides, this is jail, not prison. Most are only there for a month or two or three.

    Oh, yes. And some of them are weird. The person below me sleeps well.

    Paint, although I have only wallpaper and stupid wood paneling in my house. Repeat the same lecture when someone is being an idiot again or just don't talk to them?
