My rice comes out great every time, 2:1 water to rice, a little butter and salt, when water boils, add rice and cover, 15 minutes remove from heat and let it steam for about 10 minutes, so easy.


I’ve tried this a million times. Rice always comes out bad—crunchy, chalky, whatever. I admit my incompetence and accept defeat. While there is a time and place for parboiled rice, I prefer regular rice. My rice cooker makes it perfectly every time.

Man. What a show. Brought back so many memories. I was all up in my feels for a lot of the show. My date couldn’t stop tearing up. This is easily in my top 3 concerts of all time. Could be number 1. I’ll have to think on it. I mean, dammit…I got to see a fricking Beatle sing Beatles songs. Live.

Long live Paul McCartney!!

Funny this post popped up. I just tried to buy my first pair of boots in 30+ years. Stopped at Cavender’s. Lots of boots to choose from, all styles, brands, and prices. Easy.

Nope. I have hellishly wide feet (4E). I couldn’t find one fricking pair that I could get my foot in. Nothing wider than 2E.

Found a pair of Ariat online that were 4E, will see how those work out.

End rant.

Well, I’m here. Don’t think there is going to be a big crowd, but this space is amazing. Can’t wait for the show to start. This version has only been open a few weeks, but they are getting some pretty solid names in Jazz over the next few weeks. Coming back in December. Hope to be back lots more.

“OMB” also said we should inject bleach and shove fluorescent tubes up our arse. So there’s that.

"I ain't a Communist necessarily, but I have been in the red all my life,"—Woody Guthrie

“This machine kills fascists.”—as written by Woody Guthrie on his guitar.

“I was rappin to the fuzz, man.”—Arlo Guthrie
I’ve got tix. I’m glad to go see a living legend. Not great seats, but I’ll be in the building. Seeing Paul McCartney in person. Can’t wait!
Hmmm.

Look who’s a point from the top spot.
quote:

I wonder Ace and Peter were driven to substances because Paul and Gene were so insufferable.


Not improbable. Gene & Paul = Eddie & Alex?

Ace & Peter = Mikey & Sammy?
Tom Snyder : “…and Ace Frehley..”

Ace: “I play the trout.”

:lol::lol::lol:

Man this crushes me. As a lot of posters here, I was in the 10-12 range when I started listening to KISS. Ace was immediately my favorite. Just like others, my neighborhood friend group and I formed our own KISS band (I was Ace, of course). We made our own wooden guitars, bought the makeup, and “rehearsed” in hopes of putting on an “air” concert. I wore my copies of Alive II and Destroyer and Ace’s solo Album out. I still have all of those albums almost 50 years later. My grandfather (age 65) took me to see them in 1978 at the Centroplex. (He drew the short straw…ROFL)


RIP Space Man.

Hayley Williams “True Believer” is the best song I’ve heard in years.

Favorite line:

“They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face
So they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them”
