That's him. Everybody knew him as simply "Doc". NOBODY called him Jim up here.

And on another related side note... my lab partner was his youngest daughter. All three of them were very pretty and super nice. His oldest daughter competed won the Miss Mississippi-USA pageant in 1981.

Did Jim Ashmore have a son named Brad?

We buy the Kirkland 4 pack of Pepperoni with the thin crust frozen pizzas and they are pretty good for a frozen pizza.

We do like to add a bit of thin sliced onion, bell pepper and mushrooms to the pizza then bake it.

I get the Kirkland cheese pizzas and add whatever topics I want. They are cheap, good, and provide a solid base for building your own pizza. Sam's has something similar, but I think the Costco version has a better crust.

I can't imagine...losing your wife, and then your daughter. That's just horrible. Prayers sent.

Of all the reasons not to have sex with this person, not being Jewish would have been way, way, way down the list.

re: Which do your prefer: Classic Diner or Jewish Deli

Posted by SpotCheckBilly on 2/23/26 at 12:54 pm to kingbob

Right now I would choose a Jewish Deli because they are rare where I live. Plenty of diners. If I had equal access... I would probably go to a diner a little more often.

Sip and Feast has many good recipes. I like James. His recipe for Peposo is great.

MIdwesterners are nice, hard-working people. The Somalis are not midwesterners, nor do they have any desire to be like them.

Maybe if they had not taken over by the sword the Christian lands in the Middle East, North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, and parts of Europe and enslaved Christians they caught on the Mediterranean, there would not have been any Crusades to take back the Holy Land.

I've done it many times. You do get some smoky taste, but mainly there's no pan to clean up.

We tried one in Arlington, TX. The line moved quickly. The service was very good. The prices were reasonable. The double double animal style was a solid and tasty burger -- kind of like a good Steak n Shake. The fries were unremarkable, and the shake was good.

I would not go out of my way to get dine at one, but I would not hesitate to go to another one if convenient.

re: It’s that time of year. The GOAT fast food fish sandwich is back

Posted by SpotCheckBilly on 2/16/26 at 6:24 am to LSUballs

I'm weird I guess, but I prefer Culver's cod sandwich over the walleye.

Maybe I should try the walleye again. Culver's does have a good fish sandwich. Arby's has their fish sandwich back on the menu too.

If he likes peaty scotch, I would go with:

Bunnahabhain 12
Laphroaig 10
Lagavulin 16

If not, or if I was unsure, I would go with:

Balvenie Double Wood
Glenmorangie
Macallans 12
