Ah, Pabst. Alas, I was a poor hillbilly, so the best we could do was Milwaukees Best. (Hint: it isn't.)

My condolences for your loss. I can't imagine losing a spouse. I had no context and thought you were merely being contrary. Grieve in your own way for as long as needs must, and know that you're in my heart.

[Boxer enters the chat] Those are boxing cup holders with extra padding for above the mons pubis and below the belt. WHOLE different animal from your bog standard jock strap and cup. Meant to absorb a blow to the upper pubic area. Combat cups, not game cups.😜

Yesterdays brunch: a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on toasted sourdough with brown sauce. You can see the yolk, brown sauce and cheese running in the shot. It was at once both messy and delicious.

I was a pro at the time and had it in my hands, it was timing the breaths that gave me the devilment. While blowing, collect air in your puffed out cheeks. Then, squeezing the air out of your mouth with your cheeks, do a sharp inhale through your nose at the same time, and voila, circular breathing.

I'm a fool for collard greens. Best collard greens in the world are to be had a few doors up from me at the Four Pegs Smokehouse and Bar. Behold the belly bowl: burnt pork belly ends on a bed of mac and cheese, topped with collard greens and BBQ sauce.
