Give a man a rib and he’ll eat for a day…
…take away a rib and he’ll suck his own dick.
That escalated quickly.

It seems the “Marilyn Manson had a rib removed so he could suck his own dick” urban legend may not have the level of comedic relevance I imagined.

I recognized it. Not to say it was ever an image I liked to ponder.

Absolutely not.
Would that work? Asking for a friend.

It’s a fantastic reference, one I didn’t get the first time because apparently I’ve led a sheltered life.
Fried drumsticks (sous vide’d them first), mashed tater, cream gravy, sauteed baby spinach & garlic
John Dalys seemed like a good choice for this meal, so that’s what’s up on the drinking part

I just finished walking through an abandoned pecan orchard and picked up a sack full of pecans. It was a decent year for pecans around here. These are going to go in a pie and a loaf of banana nut bread.

This will be hard for newer Austin residents to comprehend, but when I first moved here, 183 and Burnet was pretty much the end of the explored world, and the southwest corner of that intersection was undeveloped and had several huge pecan trees on it. On any given weekend in the fall there would be a few families walking around harvesting fallen pecans from those trees, and it seemed like a never-ending harvest.
Just one of many, many things I miss from those days.

- P’cons

What is y’all’s pronunciation? Or do you have another?

#2.
Anyone who says otherwise is some sort of yankee foreigner
#2 all the way.
#2 for me.
I’ve always felt like pee-can is some kind of affectation based on how non-southerners think a southerner would pronounce it.
My grandfather had a place in the country, right by the Brazos not far from Simonton where I spent a ton of time when I was a kid. Needless to say, there were a ton of (4) p’cawn trees.
Yeah, I miss the family place in San Saba. Now I have to suffer the indignity of buying pecans
SHAME!
As a kid:
Here’s a bucket full of pecans.
Here’s 2 empty buckets.
Here’s the sheller.
Get busy.
And I loved it.
