Everything's better with bacon.
Bacon wrapped scallops are awesome. [I'm still dying to try bacon wrapped oysters, which I first read about years ago in the W.E.B Griffin Corps novels. Apparently they used to be appetizer staples... alas, now not so much.]
And yes, bacon chocolate. Not bad, and when you got that hit of bacon/salt w/chocolate, awesome. But ultimately suffered from, you guessed it, not enough bacon.

"...to an evangelist, the definition of “closed-minded” is “does not agree with me.”"
Awesome quote, made of win, filled with victory. Talking about dietary evangelism in the post, but of course applies just as easily to religion/politics.

Fat Head - To The Vegetarian Evangelists …:
"That’s because to an evangelist, the definition of “closed-minded” is “does not agree with me.” The truth is, I’m being polite. Even though I believe your religion is based on a mixture of emotions and faulty reasoning, I don’t show up on your doorstep and try to talk you out of it.”"

I love Leverage.
Leverage is just great TV.
Eliot: Why are you sending second rate thugs to try and kill me?
Thug: Hmmmm? (looks sad).
Eliot: If I am not honest with you, you will never improve.
“You’re precisely why I work alone.” –Eliot Spencer
Alec Hardison: [just lost Rock-Paper-Scissors] How did you know?
Eliot Spencer: You have a tell.
Alec Hardison: I have a tell? In Rock-Paper-Scissors, I have a tell?
Nathan Ford: Did you just kill a guy with an appetizer?
Eliot Spencer: I dunno. Maybe.
"I once saw a horse kill a clown." - Parker
Hardison: Age of the geek baby, stay strong
“I’m sorry, are we still unclear? I’m a functioning alcoholic. Trick is to not get hung up on the ‘alcoholic,’ and really celebrate the ‘functioning’ part of the sentence.” –Nate Ford
"My name is Nathan Ford and I am a thief!" - The Maltese Falcon Job
Eliot: That's the different between a real soldier and this Halloween outfit you have going on. You'd kill to protect your rights. A real soldier would die to protect someone else's.
Nate: You're going to go toe to toe with these guys without a plan?
Hardison: Oh we have a plan, it's called C.W.A.
Eliot: Can of Whoop Ass.
Sophie [pointing at drink]: So how's that going for you?
Nate: Thanks for asking. Good, what I realized is that I tried being a drunk honest man, a sober thief. So I am going to try being a drunk thief. Try that for a little while.
Mission Accomplished - The KFC Double Down.
When I first red about it months ago in Japan, I knew I had to have one when I got back. First, because nanny-state nincompoops were decrying it as the food apocalypse, and two, a bunless sandwich w/chicken, cheese & bacon = MASSIVE WIN.
And also, if you actually look at the FACTS, it's not all that bad for you/better than other fast food. To wit: Fat Head - I Doubled Down And Lived To Tell:
Tasty
And also, if you actually look at the FACTS, it's not all that bad for you/better than other fast food. To wit: Fat Head - I Doubled Down And Lived To Tell:
"KFC has added the Double Down to its online nutrition menu, so I looked it up...
Calories: 540
Fat: 32
Saturated Fat: 10
Protein: 53
Carbohydrate: 11
Hmmm … seems to me we’re looking at a high-protein, high-fat, low-carbohydrate meal without too many calories. Compared to a lot of other fast-food offerings out there, it’s actually a pretty good choice. Here’s the nutrition info for a Quarter Pounder With Cheese, for example:
Calories: 510
Fat: 26
Saturated Fat: 12
Protein: 29
Carbohydrate: 40
The Double Down provides a bit more fat, a lot more protein, and barely one-quarter of the carbohydrates. So this is the sandwich that proves KFC wants us all dead? You’ve got to be kidding me. I think it just proves KFC wants us feeling satisfied."

Fine Family Dining...
A visit w/the boys demands, DEMANDS, Japanese cuisine. I screwed it all up when they asked "sushi bar or grill?" and I responded 'teppanyaki' w/o thinking. I think I confused the poor Chinese hostess.
Tasty, tasty Asahi.
That's a long electronic leash, right there.
Some would argue that a law enforcement officer texting while driving w/his knee sets a poor example. Some would argue that :)

You need to keep your tray in the upright and locked position during takeoff. That's not just a hack premise, it's a felony. And cunty the hero skycop can throw you off the plane as a terrorist...
...and ladies and gentlemen if you get sick of it all at the end of the day, not even legal to kill yourself in this country. Thanks again John Ashcroft you weird bible addict, can't even handle your own drug. You were born free, you got fucked out of half of it, and you wave a flag celebrating it."

People are never only one thing. But often they are only one thing at a time.
See also; labels, assumptions, objectifying, subjectivity.
"The point is I was wrong and [Charlton] Heston was right. And if you replace NRA with Muslim community and 2nd Amendment with 1st Amendment, he's still right." - Jon Stewart.
"It is no consolation to know that the victims were riddled with bullets in accordance with military protocol."
Americans should know the reality of those things done, supposedly, on their behalf, around the world. They should know the actions taken in their name and truth of what we ask our military to bear. But it'll never happen because, you know, an informed electorate might disagree with decisions of the elected. And it makes for bad PR.
Bradley Manning's guilt — and ours - The Week:
Bradley Manning's guilt — and ours - The Week:
"This idea – that Manning and WikiLeaks have imperiled Afghani informants or American troops– is now the leading charge against them. “We know for a fact that people will likely be killed because of this information being disclosed," Rep. Rogers said.
Rogers did not provide evidence for his “fact,” but one fact beyond dispute in our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is this: they have killed people by the thousands. In fact, the two wars combined have produced well more than 100,000 corpses. If putting people in harm's way is a damning criticism of Manning, then what are we to make of those who have cheered on, voted for, and managed America's wars? Is all this killing justified or not? Is there a legitimate aim that will somehow redeem all this death? These questions are the backdrop against which we judge the deeds of Bradley Manning and the efforts of WikiLeaks.
The bloody events portrayed in the WikiLeaks' “Collateral Murder” video seem gratuitously malign. It is no consolation to know that the victims were riddled with bullets in accordance with military protocol...
...Private Manning and WikiLeaks have also created the possibility that millions of Americans will now come face to face with the same ugly truths that led Manning to conclude that he had obligations to humanity weightier than an oath to the state. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have left Americans with blood on our hands, and on our wallets -- a truth most of us prefer to avoid. Unfiltered facts and uncensored video about what has been done on our behalf, on our dime, are “dangerous” precisely because they lead to mortifying moral clarity when it is face-saving obfuscation that we crave. Secrets sold by a grasping turncoat would not threaten America's wars. It is Manning's idealistic exercise of conscience, and the faint possibility that we are as good as he thinks we are, that has agitated the lords of war."
Man, can't even make fun of capoeira anymore.

Older capoeira KO. Just goes to show, it can be the art, but it's more often the practitioner.
