St Paddy's Day is coming up on the 17th. Anyone cooking up some corned beef and cabbage or enjoying a rueben? Any parades, green clothing items picked out, or fun traditions? I used to love to visit McGuire's, which was this huge Irish themed restaurant and pub. I even have the cookbook. Here's the real deal on how to make their frozen Irish coffee, which is decadent, boozy and delicious. I'm always a heavy pour but here's what they say to do, at least. Bonus round, I used to make the dill casserole bread from the cookbook a lot. Might have to make it again soon. Spoiler She's toasting your tool! Er, I mean.... Happy Tool Day. Not that tool. The ones in the garage. You can never have too many tools. Happy Friday, fellow idiots!
Calling back to yesterday - promo girls are a thing in a lot of club scenes around the world. You get paid slightly more than minimum wage but less than bar staff with tips and get fewer shifts and less hours - the job is usually to show up and be hot, maybe give away some stuff and generally be nice to people. shitty clubs make those staff sell stuff on commission - like the shots girls someone described. Those are relatively rare gigs and are a hallmark of rathole clubs. Promo girls who work on commission like that probably have a side gig collecting for charity on commission. It’s a desperation gig - everybody hates everything about it. high end escorts are just regular escorts but notionally hotter. The only kink variance is how much is considered standard before the John has to pay for something as an extra. A lot of johns want to party (do drugs with the sex worker) and high end they’re more likely to expect the blowjob uncovered. Porn star experiences are also a common part of high end - but which in some places means no condoms and you can film it - but in the vast majority of locales just means rough sex, anal and maybe golden showers or rimming. some “high end” workers offer services like companionship / dates / overnight sessions and other services which aren’t just spent fucking. They charge the same hourly rate either way for the most part so high end for those services just implies that you can carry a conversation and have the acting chops to pass as a social date if you meet people the John knows while you’re out. Those bookings are a tiny minority of anyone’s work calendar. For the vast majority of sex workers, you’re either a masseur who gives handjobs and the occasional blow job as an extra, or most of your income comes from pretty pedestrian sex and blowjobs - with prostate stimulation for guys who are ashamed of liking prostate play bringing up the metaphorical rear. Some sex workers pick up extra money by doing anal for guys who’s wives or girlfriends won’t. Almost everything after that is an extra that either gets folded in to the open the door price or that you negotiate with the worker if you want it - but most johns don’t want it enough to pay. this shit is true through the western first world pretty much. I don’t know Eastern Europe as well - but Western Europe is all pretty much the same. Asia and the third world have some very different markets. The live in house maid who gets an extra 9USD tip for fucking you is creepily common part of the Philippines expat service culture, and Japan is just fucking surreal.
OK, this is one of the best Rush clips I've ever seen. Just ran across it tonight... the intro medley to Spirit of the Radio is fucking awesome. @Rush-O-Matic has probably see this many times... but in case he hasn't...
I play in a contemporary/ “trad-rock” Irish band so as you can imagine we’re pretty busy this time of year. I just got home this morning from being out of town. Because of the snowstorm we were stuck an extra night so the hotel we were at comped us rooms and dinner to play a set last night. I wasn’t feeling well, more from the bad sausage at breakfast then the whiskey the night before. The second night was better then the first. This week I’ve got three more gigs, two of which are out of town so one more weekend of hotels. I enjoy it, but am always glad when it’s over. I don’t know when the last time we I had a boiled dinner. We’ve made them at home but probably won’t this year, I’m the only one who likes it, really. I tend to go for things like bangers and mashed or Reuben’s when getting dinner at a venue. So looking forward to that.
Call me a basic bitch if you will, but these Mike's hard cranberry lemonades are pretty tasty. The weekend is about wrapped up. Gone too soon.
In a prior incarnation I would have mocked you mercilessly. But I’m attempting to get wiser as I get older, and change my judgemental ways. If you like it, awesome. Enjoy. I am on a low(er) alcohol diet until the results of my liver ultrasound come in and I get another round of blood work done. Doctors orders. My chickens are coming home to roost, and not in a nifty homesteading way.
At the sentencing hearing, the judge pretty much said that the normal sentence would have been a fine and probation, but he got jail time for being such a colossal cunt. It probably didn't help that his lawyers spent the first 4 hours of the hearing relitigating the entire case for the news cameras and accusing the judge of being incompetent, corrupt, and racist.
Criminal hoaxes— especially ones that involve fingering people who didn’t commit it, need to have harsher consequences. The only satisfaction that came out of this was Smollet getting the public shaming he deserved. The sentence was FAR too light.
The most disgusting part of the whole thing was how he was perfectly happy to go into the police station and press charges against whichever two innocent people the cops had rounded up, then had a record scratch moment when he saw that it was the Nigerian dipshits he hired.
Props to the two Nigerians for refusing to be thrown under the bus. There are lots of idiots out there willing to do a celebrity’s dirty work (Shyne and Puff Daddy ring a bell?) but those two guys weren’t having it. Instead, they made an Instagram account on their zany adventures.
They weren't exactly mental giants. They managed to get caught almost immediately by cops who were looking for white Trump supporters, and apparently had taken an Uber directly to the place where they did it. It probably didn't take much more than telling them that the cops were already pretty sure about what had happened, that their part hadn't actually been illegal, but lying to the cops about it could be a felony.
She is an absolute fucking retard. How can you let her be involved in a single case without suspecting whether or not she implemented her personal beliefs to influence it? She needs to resign, and I mean yesterday.
Everyone on the planet with an IQ high enough to allow you to tie your own shoes knows that he’s guilty as fuck. It didn’t even need close examining, it was like a poorly-written Columbo episode too stupid to make the cut— and that gobblly-jawed moron still insists he was railroaded. Holy. Shit.
Everything I know about the Chicago/Illinois political and legal system I learned from The Good Wife and honestly, maybe the show wasn’t that far off.
I just got the text equivalent of a scam likely crossed with a pornhub banner add (local horney sluts in your zip code want to fuck, for free!) Half a minute I actually thought some girl had the wrong number as it didn’t come on too strong at first. At least the bot sent nudes that were dees.
