Slow cookin’

That’s odd Nomad. I just mix the seasoning, cider vinegar, ketchup, and brown sugar together. Pour it over the meat, set the cooker on low and let it cook 8 hours or so. It always comes out juicy, but never soggy…

A very unique argument

See, I had never considered the absurdity of a “more perfect” union. I guess I just assumed Mr. Madison(?) intended to convey the desire to strive for perfection, knowing that government perfection is an oxymoron.

I don’t recall ever covering this kind of detail in my English classes. We were just taught stuff like not ending sentences in a preposition, at least as far as I’m aware of.

Justifying Justified

Yeah, the first night I was up until 0430 watching, then my eyes finally gave out. Day 2 was spread out more and I finished relatively early, around 0100. That’s rare for me though as nothing seems hold my interest that much these days

Git ‘er done

Haha, I actually had to look up Cackalackey. I assumed it was something to do with the South, but wasn’t aware of the Carolina connection. Although in retrospect, I guess it should have been easy to surmise.

Losing it

I appreciate that Kevin. I don’t normally take the bait, but this got to me for some reason. I was questioning whether I overreacted, but your take seems to confirm my own.

He was one of the guys kicked out of the other bar and I suspect he is trying to enforce a boycott to satisfy his own personal vendetta.

We are a passionate bunch I suppose…

I read the news today, oh boy…

Thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes I’m just a whiny little bitch, but it will all work out…

Dear John

Duke, yeah that’s what I figured. Let me know if you hear of anything else.

Yep, I’m pretty philosophical about it all. And of course those “-ected’s” infected the post by design, although the concept seemed more satisfying in my head than it turned out in writing.

When I get back to Korea next time I may well ask KBS if I’m the voice they’ve been looking for. Or listening for if you will.

Don’t leave home without it

I plan to send it back to the manufacturer. Might be able to find someone local, but not sure I’d trust them…

The new normal?

Thanks, Kevin. You are right, I need to break the pattern. I’ll think of something.

BACtrack

Ah, I love it when I “meet” a voyeur-istic reader! Thanks for the thoughts. I haven’t thought about uber in Columbia, but that’s definitely an option. And you are right, cabs are a much better option than DUI’s…

I don’t know that there is any guarantee per se. The one I purchased is rated about the same as the hand held ones the police use. The literature indicates that they are accurate +/- .01 if used properly. You are also supposed to have them re-calibrated annually. So, if I stick to my resolve and stay at or below .05 BAC I should be okay. It will certainly be more accurate than my guesstimates.

Livin’ in the USA

Yes, I’ve heard tell that In-n-Out is another great burger. Gotta be on the west coast to enjoy that though.

Death cloud

I wonder why Windex works? That laser thing looks pretty cool though…

A dangling modifyer?

Heh, no idea where I came up with that spelling. I wish I had a better explanation.

Getting my KIX

Well, if there are only a dozen I did better than usual. And little errors are better than blatant ones I suppose….

Haha! You wrote “rom” instead of from. I corrected it so as not to cause you embarrassment. I’m leaving this comment as a reminder that even the Chief of the Grammar Police suffers the occasional typo. Also, because I’m an ass….

Thanks, Kevin. I’ll be back!

Another milestone

Thanks Nomad!

Thank you for the gift of perspective, Kevin!

Every picture tells a story…

Actually, I’d be happy to consider that. It sounds fun. One of the first things I intend to do when I get back home is get my F6 visa squared away. That should make me employable on the economy, although I’m still angling for a job on base. We shall see…

» Posted By John McCrarey On 27/August/2014 @ 12:57 am

One of life’s mysteries that, Kevin. Six months, maybe less. Still hoping a job offer will materialize, but not holding my breath…

Just say no

Good points, Thirsty. Sorry I’ll miss you this trip, but will look forward to the day when you once again magically appear.

Fumay la bush!

Heh, that’s sounds right. Guess my phonics were as bad as my French. I understand it to mean “shut your mouth”, which is why I thought it went well with the video…

B and B

Well, to be fair we did have four glasses of wine as well. But when you have a row of forks and cutlery at each setting (and a white tablecloth!), you could call that ambiance I suppose. Seriously, the food was well prepared and the service was excellent. Our table was in a room with two other tables (only one of which was occupied) and we had a nice view of Namsan tower.

Would I go back? Not if I were paying. Which I guess is a review in itself.

Dungeons and Dragons

It is indeed inexplicable…

The Y of the V

Thirsty, I’m scheduled to depart on September 10, but you never know. If need be, I’ll find a proxy to buy that beer!

» Posted By John McCrarey On 05/August/2014 @ 11:46 am

Post updated accordingly.

Seriously? Damn, no wonder no one likes me!
