A Fine Irish Meal

ROFLMAO Yep! That’s pretty close to fine Irish Meal. But only close. Personal experience augmented by one of my wives’ personal and more recent lived experience indicates that it would 6 pints and 3 potatoes, cooked three separate ways as one of the courses. 😛

And yeah; this is funny. You know why? It’s because the Irish and those of us primarily of Irish descent aren’t a bunch of worthless, puling bitches, unlike other groups. We can and will laugh at ourselves.

Pizza Everyday! Gimme A Slice Of That Pie

No matter how you slice it, I’ll take some pizza every single day. And, I don’t really care whether it’s New York, Chicago, or Sicilian… or even Napoletana or Romano Tonda. Just give me a slice or two every day. 😉

Pizza!

Oh yeah! I’ll take some pizza every single day, in any combination of its many delicious varieties.

Texas Destroys Taco Harvest

Mexican Taco Harvest

What with the ongoing faux saga in Texas, I’m sure that there are Democrats wringing their hands right now and gnashing their teeth, bemoaning how Gov. Abbott is destroying the taco harvest. And yeah, I’m only sort of kidding. A large number of Democrats, especially those in California, likely do think that tacos are harvested from orchards. 🙄

Bud Light's Trans Stupidity

Bud Light's Trans Stupidity - Dylan Mulvaney
Bud Light’s Trans Stupidity

Bud Light’s trans stupidity – or, more specifically, Alissa Heinerscheid, who chose Dylan Mulvaney, and Daniel Blake, who allowed her to do so – was an easily avoidable error. They didn’t need to endorse a tranny who’s persona was a sick, twisted, and anachronistic caricature of a woman. Nor did they have to pick a tranny who wanted “sleep overs” with young girls.

They had a plethora of other, better options – options that wouldn’t in all likelihood have permanently or semi-permanently crippled their sales.

Bud Light Had Many, Many Better Options

It only took me a couple of hours over the course of a couple of days of desultory – read as lackadaisical – effort on Tumblr to find these 27 better transgirl influencers. And, it only took that long due to a combination of: specifically looking for obviously trans girls; abiding by the no-nudity restrictions of my hosting provider; and meeting my self-assigned dimension requirements for image galleries.

Hellfire and Perdition! Heinerscheid could have chosen the truly hardcore option and dared people to complain.

Yeah, Heinerscheid could have decided to work with Blaire White, who has a far larger subscriber-base and far larger reach across multiple platforms. As White is a center-right, Republican who is openly trans, Heinerscheid could have essentially dared Bud Light drinkers to complain… though, in point of fact, few would have, as evidenced by White’s multi-million subscribers and resulting income.

But Heinerscheid instead chose Mulvaney and Blake let it do so, either with his approval or through his lack of oversight and management of the brand.

But, in Heinerscheid’s case, the mistake wasn’t what one might have expected, at least not in scale or lasting, damaging effect. She wanted to alienate large swaths of Bud Light’s drinkers. That’s why she chose Mulvaney. Her and her superior’s mistake was not anticipating how bad the backlash would be and thinking that the Left would jump on the brand and make up the expected difference. She was deliberately biting the hands that feed her in the hope of getting new groups to do so instead.

Explaining Millennials

Explaining Millennials
Explaining Millennials

Explaining Millennials is easy. And, by this, I mean explaining their existence and commonness in America, not why they are like they are. The explanation is easy – Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill. 😆 I swear to Silenus, Strawberry Hill resulted in more Millennial births than anything else, though those damn wine coolers accounted for a lot of the later Millennials.

But, my fellow Gen Xers, lets not be too prideful. A damn lot of us are here due to: Andre’s Cold Duck, Mateus, and Lancers. 😉
