The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

While I was buying a whole red snapper for seafood chowdah at the Spanish centric market, the woman in front of me had frozen cuy. I looked for it but I guess she got the last package or one needs to ask for it. I’ll check back and let you know.

Had to Google that.
Ew.

We are seeing many Peruvian restaurants opening around here, but the few I’ve been to have not had this dish on the menu. Except for the presentation I’m guessing it isn’t much different (at least conceptually) than eating rabbit.

 

[paulthenurse]

Except for the part about rabbit tasting good and coy tasting like the north end of a southbound mule.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

If I remember correctly, Paul, you had something that tasted like that many years ago. I think we were at Brian's, and you had bought it in the Netherlands. Some kind of rotting fish maybe?

They say the head is the best part. Seriously, it’s the national dish enjoyed by millions, unless it is “aged” to half-rotten or hung over horse crap like a particular German cheese, how could it taste so terrible? The seasoning?

Correctemundo, Sir Dogbreath. Except it was fermented rotten shark, not fish. And it was from Iceland, not Denmark. So really, you're not even close.... but in the spirit of Masstoberfest I'll give it to you.

It's called Hakarl and it smells and tastes just like that sounds. Catch a Greenland shark. Bury it for six months. Dig it up, cut it up, hang it up and leave it to ripen in the barn for another six months. Smells like the mens rooms at Schaefer Stadium, with the consistency of frozen Vaseline and tasting like..... Like..... Like...... I dunno, but it kind of grows on you. I won't say I look forward to my next opportunity to try some but the next time I'm back in Iceland I know just the bar to go get some more.

Seriously? You expected maybe somebody in this crowd WASN'T going to go there?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Nice try, and misquoting me. Hmm, are you accusing me of being naughty? I’m thinking cheek meat and maybe brains and eyeballs (ewe)

 

[paulthenurse]

Who? Me?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Who? Me?

One of the things I like about you is you not only dish it out, but you can also take it.

 

[paulthenurse]

It's one of my many (limited) charms.

Hey Smurf, what you brewing at Masstoberfest? Who else is 1. Coming. 2. Brewing.

 

[paulthenurse]

Hey Dland why didn't you step up and offer some of those recent arrivals onto your shores a job? They probably would have jumped at the opportunity and been damned glad for the chance.

 

[balrog]

Ah, New England.

Who do we know in Maine?

 

[paulthenurse]

For once I'm speechless. Only in Maine.


So my daughter and SIL had a birthday party for the one year old over the weekend. In addition to games for the kidz they had stuff to keep the big kids busy including the One Chip Challenge. I'd never heard of it before but since I like me some spicy stuff I said I'd play.
Four of us did it and all I can say is WTF! My tongue felt like I had just licked the surface of the sun. It started out slow but increased exponentially by the minute. At the fifteen minute mark I was shoving people of of my way to get to the chips and dips and spooning gobs of onion dip into my burned out mouth and gargling with it. I didn't puke (1 guy did) and I didn't cry (a second guy did) but I sure as hell wanted to. I was the first to bail and try to put out the fire. Sweet mother of god, that out to require a written release!

I think I'm gonna order a few off Amazon to have on hand for
Masstoberfest. Who wants to play?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

The stuff of tic toc vids… no vid it didn’t happen!

 

[paulthenurse]

Can only get a screen shot of someone else's video

A) Capsaicin and I do not get along; and as I am unable to attend October's grand return of Masstoberfest, I say definitely get whole passel of 'em and knock yerselves out.

B) I cannot believe you had a party and not in the Timberframed Theater of The Gods.

 

[paulthenurse]

Not at my house.

 

[Dland]

So I guess you're off the hook for the 30 pack of but light in the background..in beer land anyway. Probably considered normal in most places, like a lot of stuff...

 

[paulthenurse]

I'm not responsible for what The Civil War Generals Club drink


(my SIL and all his friends and brothers have beards that look like they're straight from Gettysburg.)

 

[Melana]

Wait, no Smurf this year? Who's taking his place... Not Cape Brewing?

 

[paulthenurse]

He doesn't associate with line likes of us mere amateurs anymore


I got the greatest complement I've ever gotten about my beer on Friday. I brought a grolsch bottle of the Tallywacker to the Witches Brew on Friday
The Tallywacker was designed to be a typical American beer, beer for people who don't like beer. As I said to the guy who was asking for a recipe, You don't really like beer you just like standing around with your tallywacker in your hand." Then I recognized that I kind of enjoy standing around holding my tallywacker in my hand and so was born The Tallywacker.

So after I left TWB Hank went by and texted me the following...

"Congrats. Your Tallywacker has NO flavor. You can't brew a beer with no flavor on purpose. Well done!"

I'm practically Augustus Busch!
