Good evening! It’s been awhile since I have pulled the night shift here so bear with me.
The 2nd night of the Westminster dog show is tonight but I figured that out far too late to write too much about it. I am a pug man, my best friend Oxipug left me a while back and I still think about him all the time. I have his ashes in an urn in the living room because, irrationally I don’t want him to go far. We plan on getting another dog when we get a house because with a toddler having to go down stairs to let the dog outside is a pain in the ass, especially in the winter months. When the time comes we will rescue a dog and you’re god damned right if there is a pug that needs saving that I will do it.
I have chosen snacks for the topic this evening. I like to shop at international markets and I gravitate for their junk food aisle. It has always been a passion of mine when backpacking (I read this as barebacking and that is way different). Why go for Pringles when you could try something new, and a lot of the time surprising? For Christmas my wife bought me a subscription to global snacks once a month which really excited me. If you have a subpar day at work, come home to a screaming kid you need a small slice of escapism. I smoke a bowl and have a snack. Here are a few that I have tried so far.
Sesame Cracker Sticks – Korea
I bought these at an Asian supermarket an they were not what I was expecting. I guess I thought that figured it would be a savoUry snack and it was not. The twists tasted like if a honey glazed donut was dried and twisted. I absolutely loved them and have bought them again since the initial purchase. They do kind of cut the roof of your mouth like Cap’n Crunch does but like the Cap’n very worth it.
Sibell – Braised Chicken Chips – France
Oh hell yes. These came in the first snack box and I knew they were going to kick ass. In the UK chicken chips are a thing so although I had never seen this brand there before I know they were going to be awesome. They were phenomenal. Quite thin in comparison to “crisps” in the UK where they like em thiccc. I honestly wish I could find these somewhere in my city. They do have an option to order more from the snack box company but the prices are absurd.
Snackgold- Raspberry Frambuesa Chips – Italy
This also came in the 1st snack box. It was the December box which was from all over but normally you get snacks from one country. Like last month it was Poland and this month it will be France. I really didn’t know what to think of these. Did Italians actually like these? I have never seen a fruit flavoUred potato chip before. The verdict is that they taste weird. You definitely get the raspberry flavoUr but it’s salty and the tastes just do not make sense. I wouldn’t buy them again because there are far better options.
/That’s a lie, if I ever see them again I will give them another try because they just tasted so strange.
Krowka – Poland
The boxes come with candy I guess. This is vanilla fudge from Poland. It was fantastic. I have a good buddy from Poland and he goes home every summer. He’s doing so this year and I have requested these.
Things you can watch tonight.
If I am wrong which is probable look it up yourself.
Westminster Dog Show- It is on Sportsnet up here, and FS1 Down there
There is basketball, both the Professional (6 games) and the.paid under the table variety.
There is a lot of hockey (11 games) on tonight on various channels.
I am curious, what are your favoUrite snacks? Regional?, Run of the mill? Let’s start that debate on a slow Tuesday night.
I did a post with no Futbol talk. Huzzah!

can we get updates on the snacks as you get more?
So I see that Cheeto Mussolini has changed the near-60-year-old traditional livery on Air Force One, to make it “more American.”
Jesus fucking Christ.
Next up: replace the 50 stars on the US flag with fifty mini-portraits of the orange blob, to make it more American.
I swear, if this fucker doesn’t leave office voluntarily next year when he is voted out, which I really doubt he will, I’m just gonna smoke my Colt 1911 (yeah, democrats own guns too).
No, don’t do that! The proper way to go down swinging would be to attend a MAGA rally and get taken out in a 50-way crossfire that you start.
It’s fine.
ook ook?
Worked out okay for House Atreides, anyway.
At least he washed his hands thoroughly.
That son of a bitch better.
Prostate exam is gonna be a bit of an ordeal.
Is that space between the two circular formations called a “taint” or a “grundle”?
It’s the space between Cactus and Lacrosse.
Actually it shows the effect of sea water level rise based on climate change in the bikini atoll. Could be Kwajalein but it might be closer to Midway. The good news is the US stored nuclear waste there from the atomic bomb tests from world war II. Nothing to see here folks. Water’s nice and warm though.
No silly, that structure is supposed to deteriorate.
Found a funny:
sorry i’m late, time isn’t real and i’m not convinced i am either
Man, I had a whole bookshelf of those How and Why Wonder books in my early youth. I’d forgotten they existed until just now.
So IA and NH are really gonna decide who gets gone? Nah. Two tiny lily-white states don’t mean jack.
I mean, other than Yang. Don’t let the math door hit ya etc.
If the Dems want to nominate an Asian-American as their candidate, they could do worse than George Takei.
“A woman, a black, and an asian walk into the democratic national convention, stop me if you’ve heard this one”
“Get those fuckers out of here right fucking now!”
—DNC, 1912
Yeah, New Hampshire’s only a state because someone tricked Charlie I into making it a crown colony and Iowa has proven it literally doesn’t know how to count.
They don’t deserve this kind of power!
Wyoming has less population than many congressional districts in California, but they still have two whole senators. Your conclusion translates here as well.
This comment does not add up.
As ridiculous as Double Pits to Shesty has played the Ice Giants might want to stop allowing 40+ SOG per game.
I don’t understand a single word of your post. I’m guessing since the word “Ice” is in there it has something to do with hockey, but that’s just a guess on my part. And, please don’t expend any effort on a translation, because I probably won’t understand that either.
I hope to hell he starts Sunday
Ken Baker? Glad that wasn’t a trend that took. Fuck working on a Bilgat or a Stevjob.
Warren and Biden are a distant 4th and 5th?!
yeah, game over for both. Warren will admit it first. Maybe Pete and Amy combine forces?
Sanders is “Left”. Buttigieg is “Normal Democrat”. What is Klobuchar?
Warren will admit it but it won’t be this one. She’ll go all in on Nevada and S. Carolina and if she wins, try to spin New Hamsphire as weird and Iowa as tainted.
Nice lady, mean boss.
(and probably about dead in the middle, ideologically, of the Demmycrats’ Senate caucus)
So what you’re saying is if they’re still standing once its Ohio’s turn at this mess, I have to choose between the Democratic version of Diet Coke or Coke Zero.
pretty much. Or Bloomberg. He’s like Mitt Romney, but who really hates guns
I will vote for Trump before I vote for Bloomberg. At least he earned his nomination. He did it by hate and fear, but its more than anything Bloomberg’s done.
Dude. I told ya my cat’s name if you gets desperate for a write-in…
I’ll accept those negatives, but that just means gun to my head I gotta pick one. If November comes and those are my two choices, I’m heading north on I-75 et activer mon identité de sauvegarde au Canada.
It doesn’t really matter, because the TRUMP CRIME SYNDICATE is going to gin up some bullshit reason, like coronavirus, to declare a national emergency and postpone (i.e. cancel) the November elections. We already have the nation’s leader in office that will still be in charge when I die, 20 years hence, at age 80. If I’m lucky enough to even make it that long.
The last two months since my podiatric surgery, in which I have left the main level of my house exactly three times, makes me feel like Martin Sheen in the Saigon hotel room in the first scene of Apocalypse Now. Having to watch the collapse of our democracy has not helped my mindset.
Thank goodness I have a lot of friends that I can touch up to make liquor store runs infrequently enough that they don’t realize how much I am plowing through. Hope they all don’t put their heads together and figure out how much I’m going through, fuck an intervention. This timeline is so fucking depressing.
this shit is coming.
Elections are handled at the state level, though, so that would only work with MAGA states, which he’d WANT to have vote anyways.
Fuck it, I’m just going to write-in Vladimir Putin. Or vote Trump. Same fucking difference.
I’m going to write in “Destruct sequence 1, code 1-1 A”. I’ll need three other votes to complete the sequence but at least America’s Self Destruct Sequence will be partly started.
Dude, the fuse for America’s Self Destruct Sequence was lit in 1980 when Reagan was elected and the dismantling of the New Deal commenced. It’s just taken this long for it all to come to a head.
Thank you for identifying patient zero.
I was there.
No delegates FOAR either one.

I honestly forgot Patrick was running.
Well the Ice Giants – Bombers game changed rather quickly
Yikes.
For weird snacks, the Japanese win walking away. I don’t think there’s anything on this list that I would even want to touch with my bare hands, let alone put in my mouth, except maybe the Diet Water. Couple of L_C’s listings I would at least try. Not these:

Tuna Doritos? Hot damn.
you know, I want to eat pussy, but I also want cheese
Smells like tuna, tastes like chicken.
Like after a long nap. Which came after a long run.
Oh I would give the Mountain Dew flavoUred Cheetos, Yogurt Doritos, Pepsi Cucumber a go for sure. I have had a yuzu/wasabi beer, not bad.
I’m originally from SE Massachusetts, where they like their steaks cooked same as the current president does, and where putting cinnamon on oatmeal makes it too spicy.
I got into some of the wilder spicier foods during my 20’s through mid-50’s, and eating Tex-Mex here in South Central Texas (to the waiter: “bring me the caliente salsa, not that shit you serve to the gringos”) for the last almost 45 years, but now have to take it a lot easier on my GI tract, given the bariatric surgery last year. I miss the younger me that I could gastronomically abuse almost without penalty.
U*NC losing heavily to Wake Forest. Would drop them to 10-14, and Ol’ Roy has NEVAR had a losing season
Flyers should play in the West, if we’re being honest about things.
Whooooooooooo fuck the Isles. Tied up after being down 3-0
Welp, that was bound to happen
How you feel about them now?
Still fuck the Isles imo
Subscribe.
What up y’all.
Good news: There are now openings for prosecutors at the DoJ! Only qualification seems to be doing well on the Barr.
And I too miss Oxipug. He was a good and mellow boy.
Thanks Spam!
You know who I always found underratedly hot? Kyra Sedgwick.
Too bad she’s makin Bacon.
otherwise, she’d TOTES be into me
Fucking Goias, man.
Wolfers up by 7 with 2 and a half left.
I won’t flip back. You can’t make me.
As a (mostly imaginary) buddy likes to say – NC State could screw up free ice cream.
LOL
Blockbuster: The Musical

It’s gonna suck so hard when the Ice Giants trade Chris Kreider
Goias’ manager is wearing track pants. I can dig it!

@Hippo, it just occurred to me that Bates looks like Cozell McQueen’s lovechild.
indeed, good point! I am no longer watching. But I remember how he looks. Not that dementia-ridden. YET.
Number of NHL goalies named Carter: 2
Number of teen bop idols named Carter: 0
I don’t think I need to tell you all what this means…
Malaise Forever?
I put a quarter on Goias to comeback. Copa Sudamerica it esta!
I bet on the worst outcomes for Mighty Whitey. Both did not happen. Best 10 bucks spent.
Leeds/Bees draw was pretty much best case, yeah?
Yep, I bet on Robin Hoods and the “huge” club Leeds.
Must go in to the Den tomorrow and take all three points.
The weirdest snack food that immediately comes to mind is the Japanese watermelon KitKats that were brought to my last job by Nexion broadcasting. They were…interesting
There was a shop here that sold all of their strange varieties. I think it’s a weed shoppe now. Seriously.
I didn’t think the Used Schoolgirl Panties varietal would make it through Customs.
The golden retriever that just won the sporting group is from my tiny hometown. Go Daniel!
If Boeheim ever gets bored of coaching, he’d be a GREAT Bernie impersonator. He and Larry David could get a lounge act going.
I’mma have to switch to Mayor Pete, it looks like. Candidate #3, don’t let Hippo down!
Yang’s out of the race. Time to bring that sweet UBI following to the good guys. Bangernie 2020!
Ice Giants vs. Ice Bombers!
Booooooooooo Trooouubbbaaaaa
Those Jets 3rds are sexy as hell though.
Bought em for my folks for Xmas. Thank you China.
Who woulda thunk Litre would know about munchies?
Active with a good metabolism thus far. The end is nigh.
Brad Marchand has kid(s)? Well, it was about time we had another Children’s Crusade.
oooooh, I want Zaxby’s caribbean jerk boneless wings. noooooo, I don’t want to leave the house.
FINALLY a goddamned mid-range jumper. We did get the memo that they play a zone?
Have I ever mentioned that NC State is terrible? Because NC State is terrible.
Do you gamble against them and clean up?
Had there been a tv timeout while State was still up 7-9 points, I woulda
I bet the under (149).
Gon’ be close.

This title struck Hippo MOAR as an invite to a lesbian orgy. Hey, I could use the pointers.
Hey Hippo, our leading scorer is out. A W is staring you in the face.
Now I will be even madder when we loses. 🙁
/it’s a Derby, y’all!!
UPDATE – all ur turnovers are belong to us
If we could hit layups you guys would be in big, big trouble, Buster.
Only SillyCuse could have a 10-footer off-backboard airball, but still be ahead.
I will have a Mozza burger if we are at A W Scotchy.
I read it like that, too. And would also like a mozza.
I want a root beer and onion rings. I rarely do fast food chains but that shit is great.
I wish there were more chicken chips around. I’ve seen roast chicken lays but not a common variety. It seems like the French and Brits would have that kind of flavour down pat. I thought those sesame things looked savoury as well. I usually like that kind of thing.
My favourite – Hawkin’s cheezies. Right now I’m also into the Miss Vickie’s BBQ which I don’t usually go for and Old Dutch crunch jalapeno/cheddar.
Oh, and also absolutely any other snack I can drive down my gullet.
Recently confirmed that eating more than a few five-cent type candies give me horrendous stomach pain and an unquenchable desire to defecate what appears to be black driveway tar. So that’s now off the favourites menu and it hurts me so very much.
Make sure you wash your hands.
I DO WHAT I WANT!
This happened to me. Horrendous stomach pain followed by black feces, indicative of digested blood. Stomach ulcer. Get an endoscopy. I had the same symptoms, it can be treated easily and painlessly, most stomach ulcers are viruses and treatable with antibiotics.
THIS WESTMINSTER DOG SHOW, I CALL IT THE PLAYBOY MANSION CAUSE THERE’S LOT OF BITCHES WALKING AROUND NOT WEARING ANYTHING
preferred doggie wins – Bitch got what she deserved!
dislike the current doggie on parade – Bitch, PLEASE!
need doggie to win to pay mortgage – Bitch better have my money.
