Sunday Night Copa Open Thread

México vs Uruguay is about to kick off.

Some shit basketball game too. Whatevs.

To follow up on Yeah Right’s post,  I encourage everyone to post their favorite BBQ joint either in their hometown or anywhere they’ve visited.

My entry was the Pecan Lodge in Dallas.  The meat literally melted in my mouth.  I think I had a four hour nap after this:

Give us your recommendations!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

MST3K – Werewolf end credits

If you’re a crazy MST3K fan this should be on your calendar:

Most of the shows on Comedy Central aren’t that funny these days, but HOLY FUCK is that Nikki Glaser show unfunny.

Like wrecking ball to the scrotum unfunny.

http://66.media.tumblr.com/2936599e666d8e6094776de47463317f/tumblr_o32klgbfPG1v53la8o1_1280.gif

Get it? See, it’s funny because it’s a cutesy blonde woman making raunchy dick jokes instead of Andrew Dice Clay! Are you laughing yet?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I kept seeing ads recently and thought the same thing. Did you actually watch the show or is this just from the painful ads?

Unsurprised

Her podcast is the same shit, and it’s horrible.

But Comedy Central does have Drunk History and Another Period. Those are great. I’d love to see some of the footage of the DH episode they couldn’t salvage because they go so fucked up.

Sill Bimmons

I gave it a try because I like to find new comedy I like.

If they’d given that show to Jen Kirkman it might have worked.

Wakezilla

She’s just like Amy Schmuer!

Unsurprised

It seems balls looked at that gif of cyclops fucking in the kitchen and is still bleeding from the eyes.

In other news, I edited it down but this has to be preserved for the ages:

Unsurprised

Scrolling text suggestion: Try Bludso’s Barbeque in Compton, but avoid the Cripso’s around the corner.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I live in a place that has no BBQ places at all, so I will just post a Summer Glau from TSCC gif instead (I think at one point we were rated as one of the highest concentration of bars in the country on our downtown main street [bar, bar, bar, hotel the Green Bay Packers opponents stay at, bar, bar, music shop, bar, bar, bar, etc])

So if you double this, that’s my typical order at El Modelo. Sometimes I’d order chicharrones (by the pound) instead.

This is as close as I could find but they chop the pork up into larger pieces.

Geez. I’m getting sloppy.

I should visit one of the carnicerias I’ve seen around town.

I should quit for the night.

That’s a Pro’s Ranch Market (I assume in ABQ, but it’s a chain. It could be one of dozens.).

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I live in the BBQ wasteland that is NJ so…

Southern-Style I go here: http://www.thewoodpit.com/index.html
Portuguese I go here: http://www.clarkbbq.com/

This is what I get at the Portuguese place (pork cubes and shrimp with onions, cubed potatoes, banana peppers, carrots, and cauliflower. Served with rice and a liberal amount of hot sauce.)

That looks so delicious.

Come on!

You’re telling me that Big Ed’s isn’t real BBQ?

Unsurprised

I won’t potentially spoil GoT for those who haven’t seen it yet like I did to my FB friends.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Cercei should just roll into her next meeting with the Queen of Thorns like this and I am back on her side. Until they waste 3 episodes of the show doing crazy Sarah over and over again while the show is on the verge of cancellation (The 0 of you that watched TSCC will know what I mean)

comment image

Unsurprised

I liked that show. I regret that I never got to watch them film the scene of her and Summer Glau appearing naked in the middle of Albuquerque through time.

The dad from Raising Hope was also really good on it. But the series went way, way off the rails in the second season with whatever Shirley Manson’s character was up to.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I really hate that people reviewing GoT never remember important details, the one that is bugging me now is that Mayor Carcetti already told Sarah Connor last year he was gonna start a war between the people in the north and come in at the last minute with the army from the Veil, kill whoever is left and claim it for himself… sorry, the Lannisters.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Well, The Wire was Baltimore. So close

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Oh, and also, no the other Sarah Connor. How do 2 cast members play the same iconic role? I meant Lena Headey

Unsurprised

1) I wonder who Sansa sent the letter to. It’d be funny if it turns out to be Tyrion, but it’s probably to Littlefinger.

2) When will she nut up and call herself the Queen of the North?

Unsurprised

Since we’ve reached the talent portion of the evening’s festivities:

Unsurprised

Oh, man. I looked up sexy kitchen or something and the first image was a gif that looks like a stop-motion monster from the original Clash of the Titans fucking a woman. I may never get an erection again.

Unsurprised

Oh, this is better. I’m still traumatized, though.

Unsurprised

Watching Julia Louis-Dreyfuss ripping Missi Pyle’s character a new asshole was a thing of beauty.

Unsurprised

My mistake. It was Stephnie Weir from MadTV.

theeWeeBabySeamus

No sauce (giggity)..2/10 would not gnaw on her ribs.

Unsurprised

As if Alabama, Georgia, or Florida have age of consent laws.

Unsurprised

No.

Germans can read.

Gratliff

So I’ve pretty much ignored Veep because I find Julia Louis-dreyfus to be generally pretty meh, but I’ve been watching it recently due to its precarious position between the 1-2 punch of GoT and Silicon Valley, and my snarky political fix from Last Week Tonight. It doesn’t bore me as much as I expected. If I’d paid more attention to who the supporting cast was, I’d probably have given it a chance from the get go. Worth going back to the beginning and getting caught up?

Unsurprised

Yes

Good brisket and good ribs.
If I ever visit the cousins I will go back again.

I will go to this.

I’ll go with Butcher Bar in Queens and its satellite place next door, Smoke House. Haven’t been inside the brick and mortar (should go Tuesday after my students’ end-of-year performance) but they have a tent at LIC Flea.

I miss the man, too, but seriously news, let the man rest in peace. Muhammad Ali is quickly becoming that old SNL Generalissimo Francisco Franco joke.

herodotus450

Here’s a game you can play:
Convince as many people as you can that all the Ali coverage is the LAMEstream media’s not so subtle way of race segragation by only showing how great he was AFTER he died; don’t you think he’d have liked to hear all this BEFORE he died?

Best BBQ from my life experience
Evanston, Il: Hecky’s BarBQue (childhood favorite havnt had it in like 25yrs)
Austin, TX:The Salt Lick
LLano, TX: Coopers
Richmond, VA: Alamo BBQ
Memphis,TN: Rendezvous
DC Area: N/A

WCS

Next time I’m in Richmond, I’ll check it out.

Duchess

http://www.alamobbqva.com/

its a hole in the wall type place its on a corner its all outside eating and it’s the older area of Richmond.

As far as DC goes I did like Hill Country BBQ its a bit over the top and over priced and as a Native Texan its kind of idiotic, cause it starts throwing shit up on the walls that’s from Texas even though it had nothing to do with the Hill Country

WCS

Just mapped it; wifey’s aunt and uncle live 20 minutes away. We’ll definitely give it a shot next time we’re there.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Is it nearer the stadium side of town? If yes and if it’s more than 20 years old I think I might have eaten there once long, long ago.

Duchess

Union Hill area the Coliseum is on the other side of 95.

Unsurprised

“its a hole in the wall type place its on a corner its all outside eating”

As it should be.

Redshirt

Its not technically BBQ, but Roney’s/Roy Rogers’ BBQ in Cincinnati will always be a personal favorite.

laserguru

I like the cut of your jib.

Unsurprised

I never had BBQ in Virginia. I’ve had it in Alabama, Georgia, Carolinas, D.C., and Maryland. I never got around to VA.

Alamo will be at the top of my list the next chance I get.

HELP! The Factory of Sadness has evolved to sentience and is rapidly expanding! Akran and Erie, PA has fallen. The Ohio National Guard has been sent to Mansifield and Sandusky to protect Columbus and Toledo. The Pennsylvania National Guard has been sent New Castle to protect Pittsburgh. Buffalo has gone dark, but its unclear if the New York National Guard failed to saved the city or just didn’t feel that saving Buffalo was worth the effort.. The Mounties has gone to their side of Lake Erie in case the Factory learns to traverse the toxic, flammable waters.

SAVE YOURSELVES!!!!!

herodotus450

Luckily the National Guard already knows its way around Kent State.

laserguru

Now if you’re not opposed and are a little bit adventurous…
This is in Compton, Compton. Not borderline Compton.
Great food and very nice folks.

Excellent ‘Cue

Why is Jesse Eisenberg?

Him and his twin Cera. Always get those two mixed up.

Good to know I’m not the only one who does that.

But Eisenberg is definitely Evil Cera.

Fuck that family. What if their son got raped or murdered and that family said shit like “It was only 20 minutes of action… is that really worth 20 years of his life”

I hope they all die and get raped by Satan for all eternity.

I’ve had enough of this shit.

Bring aluminum foil to black out your windows.

You can start drinking earlier.

At this time of year, there is only a bright side.

Up and at them!

And it will get dark, what, around 2:50am?

Sunset is just after 10:00 p.m.

I actually expected a later sunset/sunrise, so the 3:30 was more surprising than the 10:00 p.m.

But yeah, less than six hours of night.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Look at the bright side.
You can drink later.

Sharing the 60° north latitude with Stockholm:

Yakutsk
Anchorage
Saint Petersburg
Whitehorse

Unsurprised

Sunrise here has been around 4:15 A.M. and we’re just barely north of the 45th Parallel.

...

Yeah. I mean Chicago is about 41 degrees north, so it’s not that shocking to see light before, say, 5:00 a.m.

Unsurprised

Still, it’s fucking insane.

I hope you have fun. I hear Stockholm is expensive for foreigners.
