Before I get going on what I’ve got to say, I must add my two cents to Yeah Right’s immaculate post on deep dish pizza. I too have been working on my pizza game during these dark times. Everything he said I have also done. My twist on the whole venture has been this: use the barbecue.
I have found, via experimentation, that using the ‘cue helps dry out the air a bit more for cooking the dough, resulting in a browner crust. The flame also gets the skillet hotter quicker. (Remember to oil.) The end result is that I found it takes about 3-5 minutes off oven-cooking time. Also, as you might note, I am not using a skillet in that shot because Lodge also makes a 12″ pizza pan. WineWife likes thin crust, and sometimes her wishes must be accommodated (so BeerGuy’s wishes can eventually be as well).
I have a skillet, and have used it to make slices I used to dream about having to travel to get.
Ham, regular bacon, back bacon, pineapple & love. It was like eating an Italian luau. To paraphrase an old Gravy maxim, if you can perfect five dishes across a spectrum as your go-to options, the rest will come easy.
Riga leg update:
She’s already eager to get back to life. After one day, she can stand at her food station & eat, which is a very good sign.
The one shaved leg makes her look like she got drunk at a country bar & the electric bull ripped off her pants. She’s walking with purpose, because she wants to be a part of everything. That’s what the vet warned about – she will push too hard, too soon. She has to be leashed even in the back yard. Plus, we have to remember to ice her after every walking session, or she’ll end up like Earl Campbell. But – so far, so good.
Tonight’s sports:
- NHL:
- Columbus vs. Toronto – 8:00PM | NBCSN / Sportsnet
- Game Five – winner gets to move on; loser gets into the draw for Alexis Lafrenière, the kid who is going to kick so much ass once he gets his pro legs.
- Because there is no God, Mario will get him.
- I will forgive John Tortorella everything he did as Canucks coach if he can beat the Leafs.
- Not everything he ever did. Just the shit he pulled in Vancouver. /tips hat to Gratliff.

Plus, the PGA Championship will be ongoing from early in the afternoon. (CBS – Jim Nantz) Paulina Gretzky’s husband had a one-shot lead going into the final round. By the time this post goes live, he ought to be on the 12th hole.
Tomorrow brings a day of respite, as the NHL gears up for the first round, and the NBA sorts its playoff seeds for its tourney starting on the weekend. Dog days of summer my ass!
Based on what I see on Twitter, the death of James “Kamala” Harris is clearly a plot by the Trump campaign to own the libs.
So many upset menopausal women.
Holy crap or perhaps yeet! I forgot there was a Get Smart Fugitive parody!
Say goodbye to that tight postseason hockey scheduling from this week. Round 1 goes from 8/11-8/23.
I’m going to miss morning mid-work hockey…
The first hit is always the best. The rest of the time you are just chasing that dragon.
Kegels, maybe?
Every fuck ass in DC who thought covid was a hoax, as well as people who aren’t taking this shit seriously can go eat a bag of dicks
Indeed.
I’m glad I got to live in this country for a while when it was relatively sane. Too bad what has happened, but I guess I should be glad that I did not procreate.
When was it relatively sane?
I guess the answer is “back before I achieved full consciousness.”
Hey, don’t slander people from DC. Those infected smegma clots aren’t from DC, they just pretend to work there a couple months out of the year.
Good point. DC politicians and leeches that hang on to them are the ones that can get fucked.
Looking at pictures from Sturgis, amazingly, bikers who give zero shits about their own health do not age well. Pretty much all of them look about 20 years above their age, I’ll be curious to find out if Covid hits them like their chronological age or their appearance age?
Fingers crossed!!!

TorontoCanadian media trying to compare the Leafos comeback the other night to the 2004 Red SoxTHE GROOVY GURU!
Toronto’s top line makes something like $35 Million a year, which comes out to UNDEF dollars per goal scored so far this game.
#DIV/0!
MLB in 2020 is stupid and doesn’t matter but I like the White Sox uniforms tonight.
Don’t have the Sox game readily available; which ones are they wearing?
My son played for an AAU team called the Sox, and they modeled their unis after Chicago, as is natural for a team out of eastern CT with no other team with “Sox” in their name readily available.
Anyway, the White Sox did have a cool throwback, and not the one with the shorts.
Classics. Our favoUrite of the Sox options.
Don’t forget the matching shorts
This is what happens when I forget to scroll up first.
Also, deep dish pizza, while delicious, is a casserole, not a pizza.
Discuss.
The best deep dish pizza in the world wouldn’t crack the top ten of real pizza
There’s no such thing as a consistent food definition, pizza is whatever the majority agrees that pizza is. I’ll agree with you the day you can give me a definition of salad to which I cannot name an exception.
A salad is a vegetarian deep dish pizza.
Duh,
Is spaghetti a deep dish pizza?
It’s definitely a salad
Some of us have lower standards.
Gotta think lower

If I had kids, I would probably have those lower standards.
Salad: “a dish with different stuff that you eat”

Is a Chicago dog a salad?
Only if you eat it

I just noticed the spelling mistake, for added chagrin.
I’m seeing that people expect all of college football to be called off in the next 72 hours. I wonder how the NFL is going to react when that happens.
In an unsurprisingly inept way that still somehow manages to surprise.
“Can we buy some of these guys off you? We’re going to need replacements for all the players we kill.”
Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals – 7:00PM | ESPN / TSN2
Ummm…
Yeah. I went with what the guide said. I was at a bar when they changed the teams. I regret nothing.
Nothing matters anyway.
The wrestler Kamala, who was from Uganda, (James Harris, born and raised as a sharecropper in Mississippi) died today at 70. While that’s about as old as you can reasonably expect a wrestler of WWF fame to get, he had a brutal last 10 years. He wrestled until he was 60, even getting a win over ROH champ Daniel Bryan in 2006. Within a few years, he’d be a double amputee due to diabetes complications, living off disability checks, though he did get a book published with funding from Kickstarter, which probably made things a bit easier after that. He was also part of the class action suit against WWE a while back that alleged they should be held responsible for the damage done to their wrestlers, which was of course dismissed by a Connecticut court a few years later. Still, he took a racist as fuck gimmick Jerry Lawler developed for him and turned it into a 30+ year career, including multiple programs against peak Hulk Hogan, is known by almost every kid from the 80’s and 90’s, and is a published author and musician. Not a bad legacy for a poor Black kid from Jim Crow Mississippi. RIP, Ugandan Giant.
It’s gonna get really brutal for him if Joe Biden accidentally chooses this particular Kamala Harris as his VP running mate. Or maybe not!
That’s who he thinks he’s inviting to Wilmington right now. “Hello, young lady! Is your dad coming?”
I never liked Post Super Sugar Crisps anyway.
What’s LPD? “Lapping Pudenda Diligently”?
I see that the Astros don’t have a problem with beanball when they’re the perpetrators.
Just an absolute trash organization, and I say that rooting for a team that has Randy Levine as a president.
Might be a good night for some Chrono Trigger. I wonder if the success of FF7R will make them finally give their best game proper remake treatment.

found a funny:
Doctor: I have your test results
Me: did I pass hahaha
Doctor: hahaha you will soon
Me: haha what
chaser:
[nodding my head to the beat] kinda catchy isn’t it
[doctor taking stethoscope off my chest] it shouldn’t be
Now SEVEN tied.
“A tie is like kissing your sister”
“Boy is today your lucky day!”
World Cup: “We’ve got ties!”
Golf: “Hold my beer”
Beats the two guys running now
He also has a much more compelling and logical system of achieving fully-automated (arachnomated?) luxury gay space communism than anyone else does.

My two shepherds are forever getting banged up and limping around. I gave up taking them to the vet after the fourth time I got laughed at while being handed a bill. Still, all the horror stories I hear about shepherds jumping around and hurting their ACLs makes me super paranoid about it. They never stop jumping, though. They both like to jump up on us when we come home, which is the gf’s fault for encouraging it when they were younger. The boy will actually insist on walking closer to you and giving a sort of hug every time.
Jumping on people as a greeting is one of those bad habits that will get them in a heap of trouble if they ever accidentally change bodies with people
They’re just pissed because they are shepherds and have no sheep to herd.
I just found out there’s a company that’s like AirBNB for private pools. I can pay a fee then go swim for a couple hours, and some of these also have BBQs and water slides and shit. Although going by myself I really just want to chill in the water

The only website that consistently has maintained the original version with Van Halen’s “Beautiful Girls” rather than the royalty-free knockoff dreck in every subsequent airing and official release is GLAAD’s website. You have to download it because it’s a .flv file and it looks like it was transferred from a VCR directly into VLC 15 years ago (because it was), but it still feels good to appreciate the ad the way it was supposed to be enjoyed.

Five way tie at -10 with less than 9 holes left to go at the PGA Championship.
Whoa! What happened to Riga?
The partially torn ACL she’s had for the last year finally tore about five weeks ago. It was either pay for the surgery or have to start slinging her in 18 months. Since more people love her than me (understandable), it makes sense to buy her 3-5 more years.
You’re a good dad. Look forward to many more years of pics of her and Lambeau’s exploits. Cheers!?
Detroit-style pizza is my favorite thick pizza, Neapolitan my favorite thin. Onions are my favorite topping.
Is Detroit pizza topped with bullets and served with a side of despair?
?format=2500w
pizza yum
It’s similar to Sicilian, so it’s the hospitality between the despair and the bullets
John Waters says hi!

There it is! Thanks for getting my back Beer Guy. Pizza experimentation is the best experimentation.
2nd best, after fun recreational drugs! Maybe that’s just me…
Poor Riga! Sbe’s so pretty, hope she feels better soon. Speaking of that, how is your shoulder Rob?
Thanks. Getting better. About 90% motion returned, but if the 10% doesn’t return I may have to get Tommy John surgery.
I miss LSD. A lot.
Game respect game.
Leafs losing the lottery would be great, but adding another offensive forward to their lineup and it not helping them win a cup might be even greater.
And then that person gets traded and does much better with the new team
