How many of you are eating pork/kielbasa and sauerkraut leftovers today with me? Pur new year's tradition is black eyed peas and salted pork.
We skipped the salted pork though. For us its black eyed peas and mustard greens. I eat neither so yesterday sucked. Something about eating them on the 1st of the new year brings luck. idk
/hisses at PARKER Yeah, we didn't eat black eyed peas for 2017, and look how ***it was. |

If I ever have kids, I'm gonna make chitterlings and tobasco a new year's tradition in hopes they pass it on. That would be... Well, I'd find it somewhat amusing.

Interesting.
I've never heard that one.
I've never been sure how far the pork & sauerkraut thing extends. I know it's big in Southern NY (where my family/traditions come from) down into Northern/Western PA.
But some things from up in the northern part of PA don't even reach down here to the Pittsburgh area so I'm never clear how widespread it is and I've never bothered to research it on the internet because...I dunno. Some things don't matter in the grand scheme and it's more fun to talk about them and conjecture than it is to actually know.
But apparently some form of porcine nutrition, at least, is a New Year thing! |

Happy New Year's, Ni!

Anyone have a fun weekend?
I put ~39 hours into Divinity: Original Sin EE and I'm still not certain whether the end is right around the corner or if I've barely begun.

Anxious af. At the title company office waiting to start the closing!!
My favorite part is when my weirdo roly-poly seller waddles in in sweat pants and a purple pocketed v-neck t-shirt with all his documentation rolled up in the pocket.
And then his agent tried to hook up my seller with my agent.
During the closing his passed my agent a note, I ***you not, "you want me to hook you up with him?"
She gave him a really surprised look and an emphatic "no" head shake.
His response?
Passes here another note:
"You sure? $$$!" |

I think it might be an unofficial Chinese Friday.
Getting out of work early today and I want to celebrate.

I appreciate the well wishes for the boy, but he is fine. Apparently he said he 'felt like throwing up' and had a fever, both of which tapered off fairly quickly over some gaterade and lunch. I basically just got to hide inside and play videogames all day. it was nice.
nice. so jealous of little kid's ability to spring right back like that...
I wouldn't recommend it...
some filthy puckwallow crept up into our office and started browbeating the receptionist demanding to see THE BOSS who, like every other boss on the planet is probably golfing on some beach and basking in the warm sunshine... I heard him from the back...
Only the dregs are in this week jackhole... I thought to myself.
but he didn't leave...which instantly triggered my fight mechanism and by the time I got up front I was jacked up.
I'm from AFD and I need to speak to someone about your energy bill...
NO... /menacingly motions to the door
he stammered a little bit and started backing down... his posture shifted from shoulders back arrogance to fearful curling up... rolling his shoulders and hunching meekly forward... but wisely not turning his back to me... he could feel it...
even the skies outside are darkening...the light is beginning to fade...
My eyes are filled with fire waiting for him to change his mind and posture up....DO IT...DO IT... I will grab you by your trench coat so fast you little weasel... give me a reason...give me an excuse!!!...
but he's fumbling for the door now...fear in his eyes...
I'll... I'll tell my office about this...and they'll probably send someone else....
I wouldn't recommend it... /evil smile /door slam
as suddenly as it started it was over and the skies slowly brightened again. I said nothing and returned to my labors..
I'm not lucky enough for them to send more people back today...
that would be so sweet though...Altana please send them to me...
I have so much brainless violence to give...stockpiled... bring your boss back with you little weasel...bring the whole office... that's all I need...the slightest provocation... {insert guttural moan here]

Word.
I'm actually really excited for it. We've not had any good coop experiences since we quit XI. It will be good to have another venue for a Ramyrez & Mirnen adventure!

yeah that ***is pretty good. I'm patiently waiting for the console version of 2.
The wife picked it up too while it was on sale on GoG so hopefully we can get some multiplayer in. Not 100% sure how MP works in that game but it seems like it could be really cool. |

You know you've found a winner in the newest game you picked up when you've neglected your sleep for three days running in favor of playing it.
Maybe if I tell myself "3 hours of sleep is plenty" for long enough it eventually will be...

My lights don't come down until at least the epiphany and I don't even remember when they *** that actually is.
that's when the three wise men showed up with the gold, frankincense and myrrh and said "that's a nice looking baby you got there... I hope you don't mind if we worship him as a living god....we followed a star here"

I wanted my kids to run down my stairs on christmas morning not somebody else's... *** that... our parents had their chance when we were little... and sure ...I get that they miss it but goddamnit you gotta let that ***go. I'm not going to haul my kids and all their presents to someone else's house... wtf.
I'm happy that both of my and my wife's respective families are so utterly cool about that and always have been. Both of us have divorced parents but our parents worked that ***out years ago to make sure all went smoothly without griping or bitching or bitterness. And right now all the kids in the family wake up in their own homes, in their own beds, and see Santa and/or their parents put the shiny ***out and they get a good Christmas as it should be for kids.
Then as many of us get together as we can in one place and eat and if it doesn't work out, it will in the week or two to come. It's the holidays, dammit! Not holiday singular.
My lights don't come down until at least the epiphany and I don't even remember when they *** that actually is. I will say Merry Christmas, I will say Happy Holidays, Happy Christmas, and I will scream MERRY NEW YEAR and give people epileptic fits because I'm a god damn holiday maniac.
Nothing I hate more than the sad saps that come into work 12/26 and are all like "whelp, that's over for this year!"
*** you. Here's your party blower and a plastic glass of cheap sparkling white wine. Go kiss someone at midnight 1/1/18 at least, ya Scrooge! |
