Should have at least considered Frank Caliendo to play Madden. He at least sounds like him when he does his impersonations.

Then they don't deserve a good cut of steak, especially anything labeled "Prime" since it's a waste of money.

Get them a cut of select sirloin to accompany your prime rib eye and cook theirs to oblivion-----like they like it.
Her and the boxer Zab Judah shave their eyebrows. Makes for a very weird look-----------almost alien-like.

re: Saw a new TV show warning

I saw a video on my home page that was a report on a violent crime via a news channel feed.

I had the sound off but CC on and I'm reading what the reporter is saying and words like blood, killed, murder were skewed to look like "bl**d, k&&led, mu##der came across the screen.

Are people that soft they can't read those words without getting triggered and needing to find their "safe space"?
A few of my favorites starred Burgess Merrideth. One where he plays a meek little man who's bullied by Don Rickles in a bar and through alien intervention gains incredible strength and then above average intelligence..

Another where he plays the Devil and becomes a typesetter for a newspaper that is in financial trouble when a big media corporation opens in the town.

And finally, he's again a meek man, a bank teller who loves to read but is married to a shrew of a wife who hates his love of books. Disaster strikes but he survives with time to read all he wants and then the plot twist happens.

Taking over a Winn-Dixie


I live in N.O. in Mid-City and there is a Rouses and right across the street on Carrollton Ave. there is a Winn-Dixie.

Hands down I prefer the Rouses store and find them to be more consistent with their pricing with W-D being a bit higher overall on much of their merchandise.

I shop more at Costco, then Rouses and probably spend no more than $50 a month in W-D

To show how a person can become so obsessed with something that nothing else in their life matters. And for those who hate what he became only goes to show how his portrayal of the character affected you, the viewer too.

That's acting.

Leftover duck and beef fat are my preferred choices, canola if I have nothing else.



I make my own tallow from beef fat and use that most of the time, but I also use bacon grease. I make my own bacon and save the grease after cooking it to use in some dishes and have used it many times to make my roux.

Man I would’ve watched so many movies.



Oh, I did. During the summer months I would go to theaters at least 3-4 times a month to catch a movie. Between the big 4 theaters downtown, there was always something to go see and the neighborhood theaters like the NOLA on St. Claude near Nichols High School, the Arabi on St. Claude and Angela and the Napoleon and Prytania uptown, it was easy to catch different movies.

When I was a kid and teenager popcorn and a Coke was part of the movie experience,was pretty cheap back then.



I'm going back to the mid 60's here when I was a teen and had a job paying $1.25 an hour. One of my favorite things to do was to take the bus downtown and hit the Big 4 theaters------Saenger, Lowes State, Joy and Orpheum.

Tickets were $1.25 or $1.50 and for $2 more I could get popcorn, a candy bar and soda to snack on watching the movie. Another big draw for me was the A/C in the summer months since the house we lived in only had a whole house fan, so hitting a movie and watching it 2 times got me out of the heat for 3-4 hours at a time.

Smaller, neighborhood theaters were even cheaper with tickets usually around $.50 to get in on Friday nights when Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon were hitting the beaches.
quote:

The price for their two smallest drinks and they’re two smallest popcorns: $38



Yep, and combine that with the price of tickets now and it's $75+ for 2 people to go see a movie at most major cinemas.

I haven't been in years and don't think I'll be watching any new releases anytime soon at those prices.

Trust me, I'm more than handy in the kitchen when it comes to cooking. I didn't get the nickname "gumbo" for nothing...........
Your sister chose poorly. Seems her boyfriend has no sense of situational awareness to be around little kids at Christmas and make a statement like that.

Yes, he's right, but let the kids have their fantasy for as long as they believe in the jolly fat man who brings them presents once a year.

That douchebag obviously has no filter, and if acting smug about it afterwards, just let your husband drag his stupid arse out to a Sonic's parking lot and check knuckles.

Oh, and I hope your sister realizes what a POS she chose for the evening.

LOL at the douche that downvoted it. Bet you can’t cook worth a frick.



That first photo shows me you don't much know how to make a roux if you have your pot looking like the inside of a white porcelain toilet after a bad bunch of Taco Bell.

Never in my life of cooking, and it's a long life so far, have I had ANY pot look like that from making a roux. Did you stir it with an outboard motor????

Oh, and Merry Christmas.................. :cheers:

If cooking a Sunday Brunch or hosting a party I tend to want a Bloody Mary with a spear of pickled okra, green bean and a couple olives.

Most other times if I feel like a cocktail, it's either rum & coke with a twist or vodka and cranberry over ice.


When cooking seafood, it's almost always going to be cold bottles of beer.

When I was a kid it was Lincoln Logs, Erector Sets, Chemistry Sets, Plastic Cowboys, Indians and Soldiers, marbles, wooden tops we'd have top fights with and a yearly pair of steel sidewalk skates.
For me, it's the Medicare commercial where the wife walks in on the husband reading his paper and shrieks----"Al, did you call about the medicare plans B & C" and then goes on to explain how they are needed to supplement the basic Medicare plan.

My first thought is "Bitch, if you know so much about it, do it yourself and leave me alone to read my paper since you obviously know more about it than me".

Could it be you're comparing today's technology to what they had in the 40's when that movie was likely made?
Because most women like to make a short story long. Their minds roam as their mouth speaks. They love to expound on details--------and it doesn't matter how trivial that detail is, they will tell you all about it.

Ask a man for directions to a nearby business and you will get:

Go to the corner, take a right, go 6 blocks and take a left and it's on the right hand side in the middle of the block.


Ask a woman the same question and you will get.

Go to the corner and be sure to look for cars coming since they love to speed around here. Take a right and be careful since there's kids that ride their bikes in the street and there's lots of cats running wild. Go 5 blocks-----NO six blocks and take a left. There's a little boutique store on the corner that I love to browse in since they have some of the cutest things at good prices. The place you want is in the middle of the block, but I'm not sure what side it's on.
