It’s Never Enough ← FREE KRAUT!

It’s Never Enough 130

No matter how many ballgames that the A’s have won
No matter how many barbeques grilling stuff
No matter how many frosty beers I drink up
Ooh ooh, it’s never enough

Which is to say: the Sept. 1 tailgate party is nearly here! Based on people who asked me to get tickets and RSVPs over at wacc’s facebook event page, I’m estimating that around 6,000 people will be at our tailgate party. Whoo hoo!

But there’s always room for one more (cf. Mr. Creosote). Everyone is welcome, unless you’re an outrageous jerk or are wearing a Red Sox hat. But I repeat myself. So come on down! I still have a couple extra tickets with us in the Value Deck for the first ones who ask, and “plenty of good seats are still available” at the box office.

We’ll be at the usual spot, north parking lot A, row 12, all the way at the end towards the train tracks and slough (nearest light pole has an “A6” sign on it). Call it a 2:00 start time, though we’ll most likely be set up before then.

Bring your own beverages, something to throw on one of the many fine grills, and something to share with the rest of us FKers. But mostly bring yourself…you’re delicious!

        bait.

        which totally reminded me… when i was first getting into jamaican music and all i had was the soundtrack to harder they come, i thought jimmy cliff’s anthem was a social message against going to hookers. but then i found out he said prosecution.

            If it’s not too much trouble, yeah, that would be helpful. At the April FK Day the capacity of me and wacc’s grills was starting to get taxed a bit until you pulled up. And I think we’re going to have more people this time.

                  Not in this crowd. I used to FK with my inlaws mercilessly when my wife and I started dating, but none of them needled/argued/fought back, so I realized I didn’t need to fight the battle for alpha dog because there was little to no competition.

                  So, I treat them sweetly and help cook at family gatherings and try to be a positive presence. I dress how I feel like dressing and talk about what I feel like talking about, and they usually smile and nod politely, just as I do when they talk about their mundanities.

        Its super fucking easy to make plus Im going to buy whole chickens and butcher them for the breasts for my dinner party on Sunday so that gives me 10 thighs plus a pack or two of costco thighs should get us to tailgate time (and then i can use the carcasses for stock)

        Essentially you salt and pepper thighs use a bunch of thyme, rosemary, and taragon, a couple of smashed garlic cloves, and the juice of 2 lemons with olive oil and let it marinade over night.

        Really healthy easy and super cheap at about $.99/lb for the chicken.

                  All pain is relative. You may believe someone else is in more pain than you and you may be absolutely right, but to believe it’s any less worthy of sympathy, discussion, or in any way less relevant is wrong. It can also be a good distraction and/or topic to bond over. It only becomes a faux pas when that person shows that they’re just too closed off in general (which is more a faux pas in itself).
