Got all the stuff for tacos tonight, but forgot the salsa. The wife loves the salsa with her tacos. Is this common? - CQ Nov 5, 11:55 22
- Definitely, but I can see how it would seem redundant with all those other ingredients. - con_carne Nov 5, 12:03
- yes but I am in Texas - we put it on everything -- nm - Epiphany Nov 5, 12:03
- meat, cheese, lettuce - znufrii Nov 5, 12:02
- always. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 12:01
- My wife makes an awesome beans and queso dip -- nm - budice Nov 5, 11:59 7
  - Word. We make stuff and use salsa as an ingredient. -- nm - landbeck Nov 5, 12:00 6
    - "peanut butter and salsa sandwiches again, dad? -- nm - get pixie or die tryin Nov 5, 12:01 5
      - Did I talk about the peanut butter taste test? We took the labels off of 10 different jars of peanut butter to see which was a favorite. - landbeck Nov 5, 12:02 4
        
        I wondered who worked on the tasting corner of America's Test Kitchen -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 12:03
        
        what won?? -- nm - chromanda Nov 5, 12:03 2
        
        There was no clear favorite. Peter Pan and Skippy were the general creamy favorites. No clear winner of the crunchy. - landbeck Nov 5, 12:06 1
        
        no Jif makes mandy sadface :( -- nm - get pixie or die tryin Nov 5, 12:07
- It is in my house. We buy salsa by the case (12 bottles each, mild and medium). Go through 1-2 cases a year. -- nm - landbeck Nov 5, 11:58 7
  - I understand if it's pico de gallo, but a jar of salsa? -- nm - CQ Nov 5, 12:00 5
    - It's not like we're talking hot dogs or brownies. They're freaking TACOS! They're what salsa was designed for. It's sauce for Mexican food. -- nm - Ender Nov 5, 12:04
    - think of it as a sandwich, some folks like different condiments on their sandwiches than might be commonly considered -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 12:02
    - Taco salad, tacos, enchiladas, bean dip. And then there's just the kids pouring some in a bowl and eating tortilla chips with it plain. Goes quick. -- nm - landbeck Nov 5, 12:01 2
      - oh, I get the chips and salsa. I'll eat that for dinner sometimes, I just never knew so many poured jarred salsa onto tacos is all. -- nm - CQ Nov 5, 12:02 1
        
        Some people like their tacos in hard shells with fillings that are dryer. We eat mostly soft tacos with lots of toppings. End up needing to use a - landbeck Nov 5, 12:04
  - maybe try a different brand than "Crack Salsa" -- nm - get pixie or die tryin Nov 5, 11:58
- common in people of exceptional taste, sure -- nm - get pixie or die tryin Nov 5, 11:57
- Seriously? It's got to be the second most common use of salsa. -- nm - Ender Nov 5, 11:57

- -Q -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 11:55
- that person deserves to be laughed at. -- nm - CQ Nov 5, 11:53
- Don't know but it will get you 25 Spawn Points. I wore the suit I get married in to the wedding this past weekend. - Spawn Nov 5, 11:52
- About a 5. Send him to a rental place or Men's Warehouse if he's wanting to buy one. - Trish Nov 5, 11:52
- 5. Remind him that tux rentals are damn inexpensive and worth the cost if you like the folks getting married. -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 11:51
- male? 4 - female 112 -- nm - Epiphany Nov 5, 11:51
mick jagger story spoilers. - b. Nov 5, 11:46 8
- I figured as much. That was why I just stayed out of the thread. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 11:53
- ha! - get pixie or die tryin Nov 5, 11:48 6
  - I tip my chapeau. (And agree that Slate shouldn't have played it like that.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 5, 11:56
  - heh, I just had to go look for your comments. missed them in bb-stabbing. - b. Nov 5, 11:52 1
    - some of us are just smarter than the rest of the board. b. - get pixie or die tryin Nov 5, 11:54
  - we'll never live this down, eh? -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:48 2

Paladino has yet to concede the NY governor's race, because Cuomo won't return his calls... -- (link) - znufrii Nov 5, 11:43
If Heath Shuler gets elected to the minority leadership position and does a bad job, does that mean that they'll bring in Gus Frerotte to replace him? -- nm - 127 Danos Nov 5, 11:34 1
- I see little to no chance that Shuler wins, thankfully. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 5, 11:37
Heh, NRCC spokeman on Pelosi: "We welcome her decision to run for House Minority Leader based on her proven ability to create jobs for Republican lawmakers." -- nm - Ender Nov 5, 11:31 11
- the Rep candidate in the District 1 race didn't go after the Dem incumbent, his ads went after Pelosi -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:34 7
  - That was a common theme. Some also went after Harry Reid, but many went after Pelosi. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 11:36 6
    - I'm thinking this explains a lot of Joe Miller's loss up here. - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 11:42
    - the last two weeks the TV was flooded with PAC ads basically saying "a vote for Minnick is a vote for Pelosi" -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:38 4
      - Which was really weird here because that ad here was about a guy who was not an incumbent. - pmb Nov 5, 11:44 1
        
        you think people would see through that -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:47
      - And Minnick actually voted against the health care bill. -- nm - 127 Danos Nov 5, 11:41 1
        
        yep, he was the most conservative Dem in the House thus p!$$ing me off on a regular basis -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:47
- That was all Wheels of Steele, baby! -- nm - Michael Steele Nov 5, 11:32 1
  - Michael Steele is so worthless. -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 11:36
- Which, in the end, are the only jobs they really care about anyway. -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 11:32
The Cleveland response to Lebron's new commercial -- (link) - Beaker Nov 5, 11:31 1
- Oh my, the comments are hilarious. - Trish Nov 5, 11:38
I have to laugh at part of that TIGER II list on B2. Hailey, ID? the rich just keep getting richer -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:23
[deleted] 34
- I think it'S KO's goal in life to get suspended by every corporation he works for. That's CNN, ESPN, Fox and now NBC/Universal. - David Nov 5, 11:32 3
  - Hmm. I just concurred with CCC on FB, and now you and Dawson in this thread. - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 11:34 2
    - And I laughed at your misappropriation joke the other day! Dogs and cats living together! -- nm - David Nov 5, 11:37 1

- i'm less concerned about the appearance of bias than him throwing money at a party that pisses on everything he seems to deem important -- nm - get pixie or die tryin Nov 5, 11:31 3
  - Why? It's his money. -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 11:34
  - he wasn't giving money to the party. He was giving to specific candidates. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 11:32
  - Concerned? maybe. Surprised? not at all. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 11:32
- WRONG - he was suspended for making contributions to A political campaign - Guy Nov 5, 11:28 3
  - [deleted]
  - He was suspended for not getting prior approval for his political donations. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 11:29
  - Yeah, if it had been a GOP campaign, they woulda fired him. (nm) - Will Hunting Nov 5, 11:29
- Next time, try signing the checks with something a little less obvious than Meith Molbermann. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 5, 11:27
- Wait, are you suggesting that Olbermann may be politically biased towards Democrats? No way! -- nm - Ender Nov 5, 11:25 2
  - Let's dig in the Fox "News" contributions and find the surprises there. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 5, 11:34
  - [deleted]
- What a stupid policy. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 11:24 14
  - I can see the use for it, in terms of avoiding potential conflict of interest scenarios... -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 11:31 8
    - [deleted] 1
      - impropriety and bias are not the same thing, which makes it all the more important to fully disclose to avoid it being seen as the former. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 11:47
    - Cart before the horse. A news organization avoids conflicts of interest by having unbiased reporting. -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 11:33 5
      - He's not a reporter, he's a commentator. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 11:34 4
        
        my newpaper and parent company has this policy for reporters and high level executives. - Kim Pine Nov 5, 11:38 3
        
        What I'm wondering is would they ever withhold approval, and if so, why. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 11:44 2
        
        we don't let anyone contribute to any campaign - Kim Pine Nov 5, 11:54 1
        
        Oh, okay. Well, I was wondering how MSNBC arrived at their approval/disapproval decision, really. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 12:02
  - Indeed. Does he have to declare who he plans to give the money to, or just that he plans to give the money? - Beryllium Nov 5, 11:25
  - [deleted] 3
    - This. I have to think Keith broke this policy intentionally as an act of defiance, and quite possibly with the intent of getting suspended. - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 11:28 2
      - Which is just dumb on his part. You can't play martyr if all you have to do is pre-approve it. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 11:34 1
        
        Oh, I have no argument with the last two sentences of your IM. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 11:36
- Politically related, Pelosi apparently said she'll run for minority leader. -- nm - Max Nov 5, 11:24
- Good. -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 11:23
- Ooops... -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 11:22
[deleted] 15
- Well, unless you're in a private box where it's just you and him, there'd be no privilege because he said it in public - TWuG Nov 5, 11:27
- [deleted] 6
  - My only question is (and I just don't remember the rules), when he says "you're my lawyer right?", don't you have a responsibility to inform him - pmb Nov 5, 11:31 1
    - [deleted]
  - makes sense, I didn't think it through - though to riff off Trish's answer, you should have known something criminal was going down by"Yankee's game" -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:30 3
    - this -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 11:31
    - [deleted] 1
      - But, I qualified the "Yankees Game" thing! -- nm - Trish Nov 5, 11:34
- c or d, because he's not your client, his bank is. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 11:23
- Obviously the answer is "e) Blackmail him" -- nm - Ender Nov 5, 11:23
- a! -- nm - CQ Nov 5, 11:20
- d -- nm - Epiphany Nov 5, 11:20
- The answer is obvious. Stop going to yankees games with stupid people. -- nm - Trish Nov 5, 11:19
- I'm guessing if its all in the past, its b, but if its ongoing you have to do d -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:18
- b -- nm - Beaker Nov 5, 11:17
On some airlines, I have been required to open the window shade for take-off / landing. Any idea why? I'm perplexed. -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 11:15 8
- I don't fly much, but the opposite happened on one flight. We were directed to close the blinds. - TWuG Nov 5, 11:29
- nmbl -- (link) - mara Nov 5, 11:21
- this is even funnier with my post below in mind. They are testing you to coach the Vikings -- nm - Beaker Nov 5, 11:21 1
  - this -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 11:33
- I'd imagine it's since those are the times when something's most likely to go wrong and having the shades up would aid in determining whether there's danger outside. -- nm - Ender Nov 5, 11:20 1
  - this is the explanation I've heard. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 11:21
- So the people without a window seat can see. They'll also know as soon as the windowseaters that you're all going to die! -- nm - Trish Nov 5, 11:17
- so the plane doesn't pop -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 11:16
Guy, its nice to hear that about Vancouver, but on the whole, I'd just cross the bridge and live in Portland -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:11 6

  - I used to live/work in Bellevue until I wised up and moved directly into Seattle. Something about a city's character a burb can't replicate -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:15
  - I keep having to check myself and remember that you guys are talking about Vancouver, WA ... heheh -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 11:15 3
    - we were the first!!! :) -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 11:18
    - Yeah when I inferred it was a pit, I didn't mean up there. Its like I'm talking about Paris, but I forgot to mention its Paris, TX -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:16 1
      - "London is a craphole!" ... "London Britain or London Ontario?" ... "meh." -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 11:17
WTF? Young Asian man disguises self as old Caucasian and boards flight. -- (link) - mara Nov 5, 11:10 2

"and even if Brad Childress controls all personnel and coaching decisions when I wouldn't trust him to pull down an airplane window shade" -- (link) - Beaker Nov 5, 11:10 6
- "How big of an Eff You would it be to Brett Favre if Aaron Rodgers started dating Jenn Sterger?" -- nm - Beaker Nov 5, 11:20 4
  - Bobby Bowden gave a great response when asked about her. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 11:24 3
    - "That little girl in the short shirt and the cowboy hat? God bless her momma and daddy." -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 11:33 2
      - heh. Jenn Sterger was a cheerleader there and he was asked if he knew of her then. He replied, "No. If I had, I would have texted her." -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 11:36 1
        
        *laughing* - Will Hunting Nov 5, 11:38

    - Ok then, I'll change my answer to Spawn's--he doesn't exist in my monkeysphere. - Trish Nov 5, 11:25 4
      - i just looked on Rollinstone and the only article about him says nothing about the album, so i have no idea what you read -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 11:37
      - i wasn't arguing that you had read a review. i said i had not seen any yet. -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 11:30
