Does that still work with Twizzlers? The rare times I buy Twizzlers, it seems like they're all squished and the hole in the middle is squeezed together. Red Vines seem much better suited to serving as a straw, but they're harder to find.

No McDouble for me. Today I'm getting the double cheeseburger, because I'm worth it.

About once every month or two I like to go to my local watering hole and sit at the bar and watch a couple ball games by myself. Sometimes I'm chatty and sometimes I just sit with my thoughts. I like being out having some beers and not being pressured to entertain. Every now and then the night gets away from me and I wander to a few other places making new friends as I go.

Every so often I'll head to the Pinbar on 4th Street on one of their free play nights and go at it on the Metallica machine a dozen times.

Soy Sensation is a favorite of mine.

Mugshotz is not cheap however, but is top notch quality.

You used all the right words in the right order but I totally got a very different message regarding your tea bagging practices.

And then they ask you to leave and wipe down the machine?

WTF is wrong with my mind today?

I have a few days off later this week so I plan on dropping my wife off at work then going to the Royal Tyrell Museum for the day. It's been a while and I look forward to it reinvigorating the geoscientist in me.

I've taken a few solo trips in the past and always enjoyed nerding it up at some world-class museums. I love London for that reason. Was there solo for 4 days back in 2018 and I spent so much time at such awesome places. Visited the WW2 museum in Gdansk last year solo which is an amazing, yet very sombering place. I like going solo as I can take my time, don't have to explain everything with whomever I'm with, and can really get a feel for what I am seeing.

Dougie Hamilton was right all along.

Save-On has been carrying them. They have a huge tub of them, about $20, give or take.
