I will yell "Mambo!" from the audience every time I see West Side Story. No apologies forthcoming. Incidentally, West Allis community theater's current production punches above its weight. You can still go see it tonight 7pm, Sunday 2pm at the Liberace auditorium @ 50th & Greenfield

I guess a photo of someone holding a loaded weapon and pointing it in their mouth is goddamned funny to a certain kind of mind. To me it just provokes feelings of deep sadness. I hate it. I didn't expect it to show up on my feed. I don't expect I'll miss reading their comments.

You know what sucks? Being a descriptivist with aesthetic sensibilities.

One great-grandfather, a former Secretary of State of Wisconsin, was kicked out of the banking industry for using a bank's assets to make (and lose) stupid bets on financial shenanigans. One of his sons was on the State Banking Commission at the time, this must have been extremely embarrassing

Citation needed on "most", bub. Raw milk cheeses younger than 60 days exist in Europe. Canada, too. But most cheese is commodity cheese, everywhere, and that's all going to be made from pasteurized milk for quality control reasons.

Ehhh you know most European cheeses are made from non-pasteurized milk right? Ok we don't drink raw milk, it is all pasteurized.

It was 1977, and the sleazebag who ran Champion Chicken on 87th & Lisbon paid me $1.76/hr to wash dishes and bus tables and get yelled at. That was the special wage for tipped employees but I was not actually a tipped employee. Worked all summer, came away with pocket change.

So I recently learned something about the commercial beef tallow process that I didn't know before, and I think it's a really interesting bit of chemical engineering. Me, I'm an occasional soapmaker. (Those occasions are basically my ADHD brain's random dicta. Anyway, years ago when I needed 1/

I'm gonna make my first batches in 12 years, soon. Just had a bunch of free beef tallow dumped in my lap, figuratively speaking.

Some (Saxony, Pomerania) were "Old Lutherans", who didn't want to join the official half-Lutheran half-Calvinist state Frankenchurch. Others (Mecklenburg, more Pomeranians) were draft dodgers. I usually get a chuckle from South Germans when I tell them my ancestors were sick of being Prussians
