Thanks for doing some homework on behalf of lil ole me!

Got a link to the quoted article, by chance?

Well you don’t want to eat every fish you catch, that’s not good for the fish population. You want to ensure you’re only taking fish that have had a chance to spawn, determined by size.

Catch and release fishing is fine for the fish. If you gut hook them and they won’t survive, well, you eat that one, but it’s also easier to avoid that if you know what sort of fish you’re looking for and change your hook/lure accordingly.

It’s true, we love vice in America!

Has adapting to American culture been difficult? Part of me wonders if social media and the global networks have made things easier for people to be exposed to other cultures should they want to be.

Go fishing.

For real. Take some time to focus on something new and “pointless”. Soak in some gorgeous views and learn about your local waterways. Reconnect with the land around you.

Life’s easier with a clearer head.

What did you find surprising about moving to America? What’s your favorite thing about Texas/the US and least favorite?

How do you like our food?

Both. If there’s a screw, I’m tightening it, baby.

Yeah, fuck it. I’m gonna razz em tho.

I’m telling the kids “take two or three!” And when the costume-less ones show up I say “hmm, no costumes? You can only take two or three then.”

Phenomenal excuse to dress up in costume and get drunk

There needs to be more costumed holidays

I despise getting ready in the dark and getting home in the dark. It’s harder to fit in a lil fishing after work and I can’t wear shorts and crop tops outside on the deck.

Winter stinks!

MicroProse has really been filling a niche I’ve missed with these “old style” games. I mean, maybe an odd post to comment this specifically on, because this is and old game, but their recent releases in general seem to harken back to an older era of gaming that I’ve missed.

Hey, maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll get to try their hands at another MechWarrior!

Every American made car I’ve owned has been a piece of shit constantly falling apart and needing repair and maintenance. I thought that’s just how cars were for a while. Then I started buying Asian and German cars and realized Americans just can’t make a good car.

US politics. It all just sucks. I’d rather not live in interesting times

Best Bloody Mary I had was in NOLA and it wasn’t a meat and cheese bouquet, but garnished with various pickles that actually complimented and added depth to the drink. I don’t think a Bloody Mary should be a meal, if I wanted a meal, I’d order one.

I’m with you on the celery and veg, (and most anything pickled) but I don’t want meat or fried things in my cocktails. But horses for courses and what not so you enjoy your bacon booze.

The chicken wings were on a skewer stuck in the drink. I think I got a picture of the monstrosity somewhere and if I can remember to look for it, I’ll reply with it. It was an impressive amount of food for a cocktail order haha!

Ordered a Bloody Mary at an airport bar. Dude said “it comes with a chicken wing, you want it?” “Well, if it comes with it…”

Fucking thing was a meal. Had two big chicken wings, fried onion rings, tomato, pickle, all sorts of nonsense on a stick.

I’m all for a Bloody Mary with pickles and stuff, but, like, keep it simple. A pickle spear, some pearl onions, some spicy green beans, nothing crazy like this.

Also, bacon? C’mon get that greasy shit out of my cocktail!

Truly a watershed moment for the enshittification of microtransactions

I’m off that week so I predict I’ll be pretty drunk regardless of the result

Men, women and everyone in between.

Also, crop tops kick ass in the summer. Breezy…
