    There was about a 4 year stretch there in the late 2000s where Dustin Colquitt(punter) was the Chiefs MVP. We were really bad.

    I'm not a fan of meat in my Ro-Tel. I just want pure, cheezy goodness(added jalapenos or other peppers is fine, however). Buddy of mine puts so much taco-seasoned ground beef in his Ro-Tel that it ends up looking more like a cheese-based chili than ro-tel dip. not that cheese-based chili...

    It's just like anything else that is cooked bone-in, it has better flavor than a piece of pure meat with no large bone in it. That bone ads some nice flavor. Same with a whole chicken vs boneless chicken breasts, or wings vs nuggets, etc. Those bones are full of flavor. I'm not a huge fan...

    Home Improvement

    Depending on the value of land/lots in your area you could come out ahead with the moving/selling lot angle. Around here, most lots aren't worth more than 10 grand at most, so by the time you pay to have all the debris removed and the lot cleaned up, you're often just breaking even by selling...

    Just remember when making ribs in the oven, if they are "fall-off-the-bone tender" they are over-done. Ribs should never just fall apart, they should have a bit of firmness to them to where you can rip a chunk of meat off with your teeth, but the whole rib doesn't fall apart when doing so. I...

    Theres also a more than decent chance that they just take the insurance money, pay off their mortgage, put the leftover into a downpayment to buy a new house elsewhere, and then sell off the lot. A lot of people don't like the idea of living in a rental home or extended stay hotel for 6-12...

    I just go with copious amounts of salt and garlic powder, and slap a pat of butter on it right when it comes off the grill to melt through it while it sits under foil for 5-10 minutes

    My worst vice is Chex Mix. I once bought one of those HUGE bags at Costco, they're bigger than family size, they're roughly the size of a paper grocery bag. Ate the WHOLE thing during a Saturday of watching college football(along with a 12 pack of beer) I think I figured it up and it was...

    So far I've been really liking the additional exiles, as I usually get more/better loot from them than the damn boxes, but that may change once I actually get to merciless difficulty.

    Really enjoying the 1 month HC league. I've always played HC, but I had taken a few months off from the game so this is my first experience with the guarded treasure boxes. Those definitely add a lot of fun and excitement. What is everyones general strategy on the treasure box thingies? If...

    Cheezits + Mt Dew were my EQ raiding snack of choice. 5 day long Ragefire camp? No worries, couple boxes of family size cheezits and a case of Mt Dew and you were set. (previous to EQ, they were my Ultima Online snack of choice while mining/blacksmithing for hours on end)

    I guess I always think of risotto as something different than rice, since its generally so mushy and creamy. Typical steamed rice(white, brown, wild, whatever) is almost always a completely different texture than risotto.

    We had some of our plumbing redone a couple years ago to coincide with a bathroom remodel. Was still original plumbing from the late 60s, so was all cast iron. The plumber pulled all the cast iron pipes out and replaced with PVC. He threw the old cast iron in our front yard. I asked him if I...

    I fucking LOVE the draft. I watch it, and I also watch hours of the NFL Combine. That being said, I'm probably a bigger college football fan than I am NFL fan(but I do follow the NFL closely), so I know most of the players in the combine and draft before the announcers even start telling you...

    Yep, sometimes I'm convinced that our 1 year old is a sociopath. He'll throw food on the floor, we'll tell him NO, very sternly. So then he picks up a piece of food, stares you right in the eye, unblinking, unwavering, and drops another piece of food on the floor and laughs.

    It's usually a long time before you see the top of the line previous gen card discounted heavily. 580s and 680s really never got too cheap before they were discontinued, so I wouldn't expect to see great deals on 780/780Tis anytime soon. 770s and 760s may drop pretty nicely though. For...

    Do you need a permit to do that in California? That's the one thing that keeps me from traveling with my fishing pole, I don't know what the laws & regulations are in each state. I don't need some crappy $250 fine for throwing my line in a random lake in another state.
