Global Snaxx Edition 6 – SexiMexi Edition! and Sunday morning futbol open thread.

Good day to you all, hope you are safe, healthy and doing alright.

If you missed the first spins around the globe here are the links.

Edition 1

Edition 2 

Edition 3

Edition 4

Edition 5

This one took a lot of trust as I was mailed a second package from the illustrious BallsofSteelandFury. The first attempt we believe did not make it to Canada (it did!) but it did however get down to Sydney Australia. Good work USPS. This will definitely be a 2 parter as he sent enough stuff that a stoner residence in uni wouldn’t be able to finish.

 

Viva Mexico!

Mix Rico Y varidito.

This is all in Spanish, I can read it somewhat due to speaking French. There seem to be corn peanuts, corn chips, some flaming red tubes that I predict will give a flaming red tube tomorrow morning.

The fire red tubes are fucking delicious, they are hot as fuck and I like it. Watching football while drinking beer with this snack bag is a-ok. The issue for Mrs. Cola is that the flaming dust from the tubes have rubbed off on everything. The cornnuts are kind of sweet and I personally don’t mind the hot dust on them. Mrs Cola was having some but the red dust permeates everything. The bag says four types of snaxx in here and we can only find 3. We may be missing the “Cacahuates Estilo Japones Extremo” Can’t find them anywhere in the bag. I definitely would buy these again although tomorrow morning will be interesting I imagine. 

Duvalin Bi Sabor Pink and Brown!

So I have a nut allergy. The next up is a pudding we think that had a hazelnut on the cover. There were indeed English ingredients and no mention of nuts. Mrs. Cola was still not comfortable in serving me these.”You can fucking have it but get your epipen out.” It’s so artificial it probably doesn’t have anything in it. 

 There are 18 in a box and we have 2. One of them is pink, and you get wee plastic spatulas with them. “Oooh its very sticky” was the 1st comment from Mrs. Cola. “It would be great with animal crackers, which will totally be your new high snack.”  There are 18 Packets in a box which seems a bit excessive. They are fucking rocket fuel. Holy shit so much sugar!!!!!!!!! I really can’t see how you would give these to a child. Mrs Cola thinks it is just like Dunkaroos, which are apparently served to children daily. I didn’t get things like these when I was growing up.

/just had with animal crackers. They are bloody delicious.

Note: Animal Crackers are my go to toddler snack. I 100% eat more than my son.

Puebla Sweet Potato thing

 

We looked at it, and had no idea what the hell these were. It looked like a pork sausage. The labeling was rudimentary and mysterious. We opened it, gave it the smell check, sweet, a bit of smoke. We had to look up what it actually was. 

The traditional sweet potato candy from Puebla. I was extremely happy that this was included in the Snaxx package. The whole beginning of this is that I selected a SexiMexi futbol team after on of BallsofSteele’s Liga Mx Preview. I selected ClubPuebla due to mediocrity, beauty of area and that they had a Canadian striker. (Who has now since moved to Vancouver). 

Chewy, softer in the middle than I thought but definitely tasted of sweet potato. It got better as I progressed. I assume this comes in different variations and I believe I would prefer more of a coconut blend. We split the first one and I was pretty high and I would have to be the same level with nothing else left from the Mexi-box (heh) in order for me to eat the other one he sent.

GIVE ME MORE FROSTING!

Canasta – Sabor Rompope

Chocolate parcels that look like a steroided up Rolo? I am in. Without looking up what they were supposed to taste like I dove in. These were way sweeter than I thought that they would be. Kind of have a bit of rum taste to them and you can only have a few due to the sweetness. I looked it up and they are Egg-Nog flavoUr. I sure as hell didn’t know that was a thing down there as I would think heat and Egg Nog would not be palatable. At first I though that I didn’t like them, as I am not a fan of the Nog, but throughout the week I would walk by and have one or two and the box emptied quickly.

Part 2 SexiMexi Snaxx coming soon.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Futbol is stupid and it makes me angry basically every weekend. I support mediocre teams and it plays with my emotions far more than it should.

What do we have this morning, besides caffeine and thc?

The Decilitre fixture (as he is up at 5 am each day you see) is…. Chelsea v Burnley? God dammit. I guess I will watch Hoarders.

The next up is Foxy Footy v Leeds. This should actually be an entertaining fixture. I think Leicester is very up and down. (Fulham beat them) Leeds however is a thin squad and Bielsa runs them into the ground. I also believe that the English media fellates Bielsa heavily and he gets a free pass on many errors. His back four is shit but “the Bielsa way” should be adopted by all. Fuck that.

OOOOh next is Fronk’s upstart Hammers v Liverpool. Do it Fronk! We are all behind you as this clubhouse haz no Reds supporters.

Brighton v Spurs closes things out in England, because of the timeline Brighton thumps Tottenham by 6 and really buries the London Jaguras.

What else we got? A whole bunch of mediocrity. No stellar matchups in Europe. I will probably gamble on something due to my addiction but c’est la vie.

As we are approaching the offseason I hope you are looking forward to Yeah Right’s Sunday gravy, I know I am. I still use his recipe for the base of my “mother sauce” all the time.

Heh, you’re reacting as if you’ve never seen a 727 test its wing surfaces before. Yes, I said surfaces, because the gif name’s wrong – they also test the spoilers and control surfaces, not just the flaps and leading edge slats.

….also, yes, I initially missed the gif name, because I recognized the lane as a cargo 727 because the wing’s a tad more complicated than later planes, the landing gear and the deleted windows

Did more people watch that than the actual pro bowl?

Senor Weaselo

Well Lonnie Quinn’s got his sleeves rolled up. Thank goodness I have absolutely nothing to do tomorrow. Because there will be copious amounts of snow shoveling.

At least I don’t have to drive in this (unlike Madre Weaselo, who works in a hospital and thus has to).

I just bought a bottle of Empress Gin. It’s blue but supposedly changes color when you add tonic water or citrus to it.

I feel like I should have gotten more done today, what with no football, and I guess I got stuff done, but it doesn’t feel adequate somehow. Oh well, I’ll just play more Civ, that’s sure to help!

Why bother? Next thing you know, it will be Thanksgiving again and time to put all that stuff back up.

Thanks for the thought, Litre. No shame in losing to the champeens, I guess. That second goal (right before I turned the FUCKING THING OFF), was a thing of bookin fyooty, IMHO.

/watching St. John’s/Marquette and it reminded me of Sam Worthen-one of the best players I ever saw that didn’t make in the pros. He was a skinny 6’5″ dude that ran Marquette’s O in the early 80’s.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wOCC3MVSwE&ab_channel=GameOverNYC

scotchnaut

I was watching a game with my similarily-obsessed college basketball buddy and Sam knifed his way into the paint, and then realized there was no opening to the basket so he backed out of the paint while dribbling the ball behind his back [back and forth, back and forth, from left to right hand and back again] We lost our shit-we’d never seen that before. And I’ve never seen it since.

scotchnaut

The Zymm inspires me to ask-

What is the very best thing that Granny made food-wise?

Mine made several kinds of perogies and a killer Tourtiere on special occasions.

ballsofsteelandfury

My grandma on my dad’s side made a delicious flan that no one can copy.

Brick Meathook

My grandmother would visit from Newfoundland and bake fresh home-made bread every morning. She’d start it the night before and start baking at 5:00 AM. The aroma in the house was incredible.

Dunstan

Wait, you’re part Newfoundlander, too?

Brick Meathook

I is, bye

Dunstan

Well, I’ll be jiggered.

Doktor Zymm

Gołąbki and borscht with the meat dumplings. Also she made a really good rum cake, aw man, I should check if my mom has the recipe for that. I’m getting closer on the borscht, but I’m never going to manage the dumplings or the stuffed cabbage.

Viva La Tabula Raza

My mom’s mom was a good cook. My dad’s mom, not so much. I remember once she started to make the spaghetti sauce right after she put the pasta in the boiling water. My dad tells the story of when his stepdad brought home a fish from the market that had not been cleaned and told her to cook it. She baked the whole thing, head, guts and all, and served it, and of course it went uneaten. I think she might have been sending Grandpa Stan a message. He was the Republican party chairman for Massachusetts back in the 50’s and therefore an asshole, so I like that story. She died 8 years ago at 98, and she was quite a hoot for a Roosevelt-hating conservative.

Senor Weaselo

I’m only going with my deceased grandmother (on Padre Weaselo’s side)—bereg (many different spellings). I personally prefer the cheese variant over the meat.

Doktor Zymm

I’ve got some 3-meat consommé simmering away so my apartment smells like the best kind of grandmother’s kitchen. Next I have to decide whether to use it all in the next few days, or eat enough out of my freezer that I have room to save some…

It kind of blows my mind that there are still enough people who watch TV news/weather for these guys to still have jobs

Brick Meathook

Are you kidding me? That’s the only time I watch the local news is when there’s a “weather event.” That and fires and freeway car chases that hopefully spill over onto surface streets and end in a good beating. And they know it, too.

ballsofsteelandfury

Exactly! The best people on the news are the weather people that go crazy because they finally have something new to report besides 72 degrees and sunny (shoutout to LA Story there) and the traffic reporters in the helicopters that get to narrate high-speed chases. That’s the only part of the news worth watching!

So, this smacks a little of a puff piece, and it certainly wouldn’t shock me if the WSJ was just tongue-bathing the NFL, but is it possible the NFL did something good? Only incidentally to protect their revenues, of course, but still:

The NFL’s Covid-19 Finding That Saved the Season – WSJ

ballsofsteelandfury

The key finding (it’s behind a paywall, so I’m summarizing for the rest of us) is that the 6 feet and 15 minutes standard doesn’t necessarily apply to all cases. It makes a big difference if you are masked or not or if you are indoors or not.

In the NFL, they dropped it down to 5 minutes unmasked indoors.

bk109

Btw, a quick PSA on Cohibas – the non-Cuban version is godawful and has fuck all to do with Cuba (so no shared history, no smuggled out tobacco strains, no nothing), but a lot of shops stateside sell that as the real deal (and price it accordingly)

ballsofsteelandfury

So, the sprots news is going crazy over the revelation that Messi’s last contract (signed in 2017 for four years) nets him a whopping $600 million dollars ($555 million Euros and change).

I say good for him. The dumbass that signed him to that contract is on his way out at Barcelona, so there’s that.

clint greasewood

Pro Bowl?

It’s basically Randy Moss and Sam Somthing giving interviews to uncharismaatic players on choppy Zoom connections with some highlights sprinkled in, a shit ton of commercials and
Madden is at 5pm EST.

ballsofsteelandfury

I can’t believe they’re bothering to do anything for it.

clint greasewood

They put it on 3 channels to boot ABC,ESPN and DIsney XD

bk109

I can’t believe that clint’s description sounds better than the usual fare (which speaks volumes on how little regard everyone has for the PB)

bk109

Btw, in case Dunstan missed my reply on that other thread – it’s possible that cigar was from a duplicate/continuation brand founded by Cuban expats that yeeted outta Cuba… Or just founded by a company that has fuck all to do with Cuba at all (I’m looking at you knock-off Dominican Cohibas!)

Dunstan

If you took my comment as bragging that I was smoking a genuine Cuban Partagas, you were mistaken. I’m not sure what I said to give such an impression.

I’m well aware that all the Cuban brand names were gobbled up by others after the revolution. I’ve never been under the impression that any cigar purchased in the U.S. is of Cuban origin, or that its company has anything to do with the identically-named Cuban brand you might buy elsewhere. I’ve also been offered “real Cubanos” once or twice by random dudes in U.S. cigar stores, which I want no part of — they’re likely fakes, and even if they aren’t, if I wanted to do business of questionable legality with random strangers I’d take up a stronger habit than cigars.

I’ve had enough genuine Cuban products to say that, while I suppose a random Cuban stick is probably better than a random non-Cuban one, and it’s probably true that the best Cubans are superior to the best non-Cubans (though I don’t spend enough to have a firm basis there), it is also true that there are plenty of non-Cuban products available in the U.S. that are more than sufficient for my standards.

bk109

Actually, no, I took it as “odd, I didn’t know that this was a duelling brand” when you said that you think that it was a Dominican cigar and before that only as “Have I smoked one of those”.
As for the initial comment about Cuban imports being verboten was because a buddy had a box of cheapo Guantanameras (about 1-2$ a pop) confiscated, so it was a genuine question (and a bit of a high-five moment for potentially finding a way around a clearly outdated policy).
As for Cuban cigars in general – I think it’s the same basic issue as French wine or Apple products – it’s the name/origin that makes something more desireable than its actual inherent quality and it’s just a matter of time until people catch up that there are some really underrated alternatives that provide the best experience.

Btw, even if I thought you were bragging about what yer smoking/drinking/etc, I honestly don’t think that I’d have cared, because life’s short enough that people should find joy and contentment (especially when it’s all earned by oneself and not inherited from elsewhere)

Also, if ^ is a bit rambly, it’s because I’m a tad … iffy after dinner (haven’t drunk a drop, butt for some reason a hot meal can on occasion make me feel almost as if I’ve drunk half a bottle of vodka on an empty stomach 😀 )

ballsofsteelandfury

At what point can we switch to discussing Bacardí? I don’t know shit about cigars, but I know plenty about rum.

Last edited 3 years ago by ballsofsteelandfury
bk109

I personally did the switch just about… now with a couple of fingers of Bacardi 151 🙂

bk109

Not really – it’s got a bit more of a kick, but that’s about it. In my stupider moments in Uni, I’ve chugged a bottle of the stuff without any ill or splash effects 😀
Edit: Chugged a full bottle (judging by the stunned silence the first time I did that – Ireland’s a land of bloody lightweights)

Last edited 3 years ago by bk109
bk109

lol, the only two drinks that ever made me black out were proper absinthe (courtesy of a French girl in my PolSci class) and the other being Baileys 😀

Before you laugh, it’s because me and a Swedish buddy of mine (who introduced me to the future Mrs bk109) drank like 4 bottles apiece on an empty stomach after the end of our first semester’s exam session (when everyone already looked like extras from 28 days later) and that didn’t end too well.

I apparently got the idea to shave my head off (whoops) and he went for a stroll and got arrested for sexually assaulting a lamp post 😀

Dunstan

Ok, no problem. It just felt a little like I was being called out or lectured on something, but I wasn’t sure.

bk109

That’s the problem with text conversations, the nuance afforded by the tone with which something is said is lost, which can cause misunderstandings

Brick Meathook

I don’t know nothin’ about no cigars (except that they lead to homosexuality – not that there’s anything wrong with that) but here’s a shot from I Am Cuba (1964) which is an extraordinary single-take tracking shot. It starts in a funeral procession, climbs high and then through a cigar factory, and then back over the funeral.

It’s better than anything by Scorsese or Paul Thomas Anderson, and both of them would tell you the same thing (and both have).

https://youtube.com/watch?v=h35QgVZzesE

Brick Meathook

Ah shit the fucking Rooskies blocked it. Google “I am Cuba cigar factory” or search that on YouTube.

bk109

Uhh, that works fine on my end?

Brick Meathook

That’s because you live in a third-world country and the Russians are trying to sway you. The Rooskies hate America because we beat them to the moon and won the Cold War, so they pull shit like blocking videos and meddling in elections out of jealousy.

ballsofsteelandfury

There’s that whole Lake Placid thing too…

bk109

Uh, purrty sure the meddling in your election is just a “Fuck you very much, comrade!” for Yeltsin and the constant meddling of your own in sovereign countries’ internal affairs on a daily basis.

Also, looking basically all quality of life stats, you yankee ‘murricanos are way after both of my countries’ (I got a Swedish passport now too, yehehe) … And not only are our booze, women, boozed up women and internet better than yours, WE HAZ HEALTHCARE
Check AND CHECKERS MWAH.. Ooh, forgot to drink my Bacardi

Brick Meathook

I live on the beach in Los Angeles and I pity the rest of humanity. I have everything you could possibly want from anywhere in the world at my fingertips. My great great grandfather got the fuck out of Ireland to fight in the U.S. Civil War and never looked back. They say Ireland is a nice place to visit full of very nice people, though, I assume you’re one of them.

I got an idea, let’s trade places for a month. You live here and I’ll live there. You’d never leave here.

bk109

I’m pale even for an (knock-off) Irish to the tune of getting third degree moonburn if it’s a particularly cloudless night… which thankfully happens rarely, because the Irish climate is enough to make the Liberian Civil War seem like a better lifestyle choice 😀 That said, Ireland is indeed fun to visit or to start a family, because weather aside it really is grand as we legitimately have a good support structure as a country. It also helps that unlike a lot of places even in Europe, the pay is also quite good across the board (there’s a reason why a lot of people don’t grasp how/why tipping is a thing Stateside beside being a cheap arse)
Hell, we even haven’t had a massive scandal involving the Catholic church in … probably months .
That said, Ireland’s only good to visit between late spring and early autumn, because that gives you the best shot at appreciating its natural beauty.

I’m kidding I live in a cardboard box downtown on skid row.

Home delivery’s even better – they bring everything you’ve ordered, when you want it and even drop it in your kitchen should you ask (I never do, because even I have to draw the line of my laziness somewherre) 😀

ballsofsteelandfury

I haven’t had luck with home delivery. Invariably, the substitutions don’t work and I’d rather just mask up and do it myself. I don’t dilly dally so I can be in and out of the store in 5-10 minutes.

Dunstan

It’s worked pretty well for me. Initially I was concerned about them doing a lousy job on fruits and vegetables, but I’ve had no problems on that front.

I still make trips to the nearby shops for meat, fish, and eggs, and sometimes for additional fresh veggies, but it’s good to be able to take care of the basics once or twice a month.

ballsofsteelandfury

I buy institutional boxes of TP from Amazon. They last me for months.

Dunstan

I always suspected you were institutionalized.

bk109

Maybe it’s store or location dependent, because I’ve never had that issue in Dublin, nor here, but I’ve had friends complain about shoddy substitutes or stuff that’s JUUUUUUST the right side of its sell by date

Hippo and I have a college ball Derby tonight. (SillyCuse/Wolfies) Honestly can’t remember the last time Cuse played on a Sunday night in the regular season. What is this ACC sorcery?

ballsofsteelandfury

Btw, the Bokados Mix is an “Only in Mexico” special. I haven’t seen it anywhere in the states…

ballsofsteelandfury

Bokados is a great brand. They make my absolute favourite hot sauce. It’s called Salsa Botanera. If you ever find it, buy it. It’s not too spicy, but it’s full of flavour!

ballsofsteelandfury

The bottle of ginger is another one of the sketches I always go back to. So fucking great!

Dunstan

Every couple of weeks, I get an email or physical mail from at least one of my credit card issuers, offering me a $25 statement credit if I add another authorized user to my card. This always leads to two thoughts:

  1. This is really really stupid. Ok, I get that the issuer (probably) doesn’t know that I’m single with no kids and not running a business, and that I’m paranoid about money and credit, so it’s perhaps conceivable to them that I might have a girlfriend/teenager/employee that I would be willing to issue a card to. But who the fuck is basing that decision on a $25 credit? “You know, up to now I’ve been telling my girlfriend that she’s got her own damn credit cards. But for an extra $25, why, I’d be crazy NOT to put her on my account.”
  2. They wouldn’t do this shit unless a nontrivial number of people actually do think that way.
Horatio Cornblower

Just add one of us. Probably not Hippo thought; between the pills and Gamblor I don’t see that being worth $25.00.

bk109

Nah, Hippo should only be used as a betting aid – the surer he is of a footy-boll outcome, the larger the bet you make for the other side

Season premiere of Sunday Gravy is going to be banging. I’ve been working on it for two days and have my work cut out for me today to finish.

Appreciate the shout out Litre.

Brick Meathook

Man, it got down to 48ºF (9ºC) here in Los Angeles and I almost died. At one point I even considered putting on long pants. It was that bad. Fortunately I called the telephone counseling service provided by the county and they talked me out of it, but it was a close scrape.

ballsofsteelandfury

Big Blue made an appearance. That’s how cold it was.

Brick Meathook

Also, I spent all last winter in Montreal, the coldest city on the Eastern Seaboard due to geographical issues.

Gumbygirl

I still have about 1/3 of my deck to shovel. You could come up here and do it for me, it’s chilly out, but you’d warm up quickly!

scotchnaut

She’s been -17C (1F) or colder for six of the last seven days here. Makes it easier to hunker down during lockdown but would be nice to get a bit of relief.

bk109

Relief is a really weird name for a weed guy 😀

bk109

In all fairness, you kinda have to partake to somehow survive your local hockey teams’ crushing mehness 😀

bk109

On the bright side – at least you’re not a Jests fan 😀
Also, dunno what it says about the city of Winnipeg, but the only things I know about them outside of the hockey team are that there’s a Boeing subsidiary there, the lads from the Winnipeg Grenadiers were one of the first units engaged in the Battle Of Hong Kong … and that the plane in the novelization of “Flight Into Danger” took off from there 😀
