For the second year in a row, we deep fried a turkey for Thanksgiving. We didn’t have any rope, so we used a dog leash to lower it to its fate. Safety first, y’all!

My mom made rolls from scratch for Thanksgiving. She also made this beast, which is larger than my sister’s head.

We decided this cat is called Wilford Brimley, and we are going to catch him.

49-39

Highest scoring UT vs. A&M game in history.

Hook ‘em horns!

Oh nice one, Randy Bullock. Way to lose the game.

Reminds me of Ray Finkle.

(I’m a UT fan, but it was still disappointing.)

42-39

Uh oh.

35-32

Uh oh.

I can't wait for A&M to pwn the lame faces of UT tonight

Helicopter blades generate lightning bolts
A collection of sublime images from embedded journalist Michael Yon of what happens when helicopters fly through dust storms. Lightning bolts arcing around the blades are thought to be created by static electricity arising from friction between two dissimilar materials - in this case the metal blades and the sand. Yon coined the term “Kopp-Etchells Effect”, named for two soldiers killed in Afghanistan.


After reading the comments, it appears that this is not actually lightning (which seemed unlikely in the first place) but instead stuff in the air being hit at high speed. Still looks cool.

To you, that may be “Summer,” to us, it’s “Fall.”

The truth.

savagemike:

  1. CUT and REMOVE film cover from vegetables. CUT slit in center of pouch. SET pouch aside. MICROWAVE meal on HIGH 3 minutes.
  2. STIR potatoes and ROTATE steak; REPLACE film cover. PLACE pouch on meal over steak. MICROWAVE an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. LET STAND 2 minutes. CAREFULLY remove as PRODUCT WILL BE HOT; STIR potatoes
  4. CHECK that product is cooked thoroughly. Internal temperature needs to reach 165° as measured by a food thermometer.

Enjoying some Marie Callendar’s, are we?

Me, as a child. My dad calls me “Super Tay.”
