I am not eating lamb shawarma with yogurt sauce and pickled radishes and Egyptian fava beans. Okay I am.

well I can’t speak for the rest ofthe crowd, but I hope that whenever Pinko thinks of me he realizes that I am likely right at that moment eating something delicious from a food truck.

Anything you consider average or mundane is better than what we have here. I bet even your Papa John’s are better.

… lot of treyfy things I think you might enjoy but I don’t touch.

Sounds like delicious sausages and such as.

P.S. I’m trying to think of all the things one get in Columbus, Ohio that are unavailable in Pinkoland, and all I can come up with is rain.

I would like and over the top comment about some delicious snack that is unavailable to me so I can shake my fist at you, here.

Some time soon I will be making pumpkin cheesecake tarts (with caramel bourbon sauce) and you CAN’T HAVE ANY.

But to be honest my access to cheap deliciousness has been somewhat curtailed, at least when it comes to things that I’m used to. So I am sympathizing a little bit because I have no immediate access to Ethiopian and Korean food, only a little access to inferior Vietnamese, no acceptable Indian, etc, etc. In exchange I get much expanded access to Mediterranean cooking, and then a lot of treyfy things I think you might enjoy but I don’t touch.

But the bakery and dairy products are both cheap and stupendously good. The cheese is about a quarter of the price here, and that includes the frou-frou stinky cheeses. I prefer American pizza though.

Did I gush over my absurdly convenient access to fresh-baked bread and pastries? Over here, we have marzipan twists that are essentially marzipan wrapped in flaky pastry, twisted, and glazed…

Obviously, it is never more than a couple of hours old.

Mandos, I meant the xkcd, but now I know about the vending machine switch, I think it is time for some Big Texas!

By: Mandos

Mandos — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:37:37 +0000

That app would be forbidden by said country. They have inspectors here for this sort of thing. It’s like their lack of vending machines. *sob*

Although that link was awesome, I thought I’d hear this at the same time:

And do not make fun of it. Like it’s beneath you. It’s not. There’s a Gilda Radner link to this song that will make it cool for always and forever.

For THAT you get Benjamin Netanyahu with Pam Geller screeching “Tradition” from Fiddler on the Roof.

Usually reading doesn’t make my ears hurt…

Nothing is what it appears to be.

I thought the secret of 3B is that everything is what it appears to be. At least for certain values of “is” and “appears”.

Then you can really think about what Tucker Carlson applying chemical tanner to “Tucker Carlson” would look like.

Yeah, the fact that he didn’t know about Marg the Warrior Princess shows how out of touch he is. Marg the Warrior Princess has been a Canadian institution for a very long time now.

Essentially, the entire city of Toronto has a simultaneous small aneurysm rupture and elected this clown, and even the Grope and Flail is facepalming. I mean, Toronto has elected conservative clowns before, but they were at least a little funny.

I am proud the I figured out the reveal of the video without having to actually watch it.

Mitch McConnell drops trou and there we see it: the Lindsey Graham snapping turtle, peaking out through an extra large pair of Jim Demint Confederate Flag boxers. ~

Do you think Ann Coulter would remove her drawers to reveal Rush Limbaugh or the other way around?

She is a nice person.

Yeah!

Thanks, BG.

Nothing is what it appears to be.

That’s the beauty of it. Even if wrong, it’s fully embraced and accepted and becomes the new right. We all get a 3B’s participation trophy.

Sometimes they are just pictures of cats with amusingly misspelled captions as if written by the cats themselves, BG. Other times it is Pat Buchanan with G. Gordon Liddy discussing affirmative action in tighty whiteys. PUN INTENDED

Jennifer, was she in the video?

I chose the Bride of Frankenstein photo since she has the streaks in her hair… and because they say people develop gray streaks after something shocking has been experienced.
