Bears skeet

This is funny because when I was at App State in the early 90s we tore down our own football goalposts when UNC (a different school) won the BASKETBALL championship in 1993. They (not me...) tossed the goalpost in the duck pond.

Oh no someone is wrong about pizza on the internet again.

People love to bash Chicago deep dish pizza. Then some also enjoy telling Chicago that our unique thin pizza style isn't unique (without eating and trying it). But the cool thing is that Chicagoans have pretty much all styles of pizza from the rest of the world available to try without leaving town.

No, we do not have Altoona pizza in town and for that there are regrets, but still. We have a plethora of pizza riches here. Please don't pray for us.

Jim from The Sandwich Tribunal has his own stuffed versions, and he uses a recipe for the Handwich cones that's much closer to the actual Disney version. Here's my version from 2023. boundedbybuns.com/play-at-home...

Carolina Cajun Crunch cross-examination How crunchy should your breakfast sandwich be? How much Cajun seasoning is enough? Does a sandwich need bread? So many questions asked and answered this week. https://boundedbybuns.com/carolina-cajun-crunch-cross-examination/

This sandwich idea was stolen directly from a limited time offering sandwich that Bojangles released this year.

The Bears Hallmark movie has malort shots, they play bags and Jerry the desk clerk from ER is in it. It's great. Also it's terrible. Just like malort.

This is the sandwich before she got it. Sorry for the phone photo of TV. But at least the movie people tried. Bless their hearts.

Walked down the street to Offset BBQ again last night. This is the first time I didn't really order any actual barbecue. There's some smoked brisket in the Brisket cheesesteak egg rolls, which were really good, and I also got their Offset Burger, which required a few napkins.

Offset Burger is: double patty, double cheddar, 1000 island, lettuce with our smoky pepper & onion mix (copied from menu). Very good, but also very messy. Brisket Philly egg rolls are a special: brisket, onions, red and green peppers, yellow + white American cheeses in crispy egg roll wrappers.

Damn this sucks. Kwak glassware that fits the old wooden stands is no longer being produced.

I am struggling to keep pace with #inktober. I missed yesterday because we had to prep some of our house for some carpet replacement, but I made up for it by painting your grandmother and her friends inquiring where they might find the beef.

Also I'm bad at painting faces and hands. Don't look too hard. The lady in the middle looks like a school teacher on the cover of a Hardy Boys book. At least one woman looks like Judge Judy and at least one woman looks like one of the old guys in a Muppet Show episode. I'm working on it though.
