I'm kind of underwhelmed by the Taco Bell Cheeze It Crunchwrap Supreme. I just feel the Cheeze It doesn't really offer anything to improve the product. I wouldn't say that it is any better or worse than a regular Crunchwrap Supreme.

One of our neighbors has one and it seems to do a decent job, even in the rain. However, the funniest thing about it is that all the neighborhood dogs absolutely HATE it.

Maybe you could recoup some costs by loaning the thing out to your neighbors?

This comment is WAY funnier when I thought the topic was back on the catcher's cup.

MUCH weirder, but also funnier.

How much are they? Because I thought I saw some that actually weren't that expensive.

I've been married 17 years and my wife still doesn't seem to know when I'm joking.

Funny you mention that. My son and his friends spent a week in Toronto, and on their way back to school they drove a couple hours out of their way to go to Woodstock, NY where there was a pop-up Cheeze-It restaurant. Unfortunately even though they got there at 9pm and the diner was supposed to stay open till Midnight, they wouldn't let them get in line because it was already a 4 hour long wait. The place looked interesting, but I wouldn't have driven that far out of my way much less wait 4 hours for it.
In other food news, we stopped at a Buc-ees on the way home. Those brisket sandwiches are legit. Their praline cookies are addictive as well.

That's hilarious.

We've known about Bucc-ees for a while because my parents were in TX, but they opened one just south of Richmond on I-75 (about 50 minutes away from us, 5-10 minutes from my daughter's college) and now another one is opening near Bowling Green on I-65. Some decent food, honestly.

You hadn't hit Buc-ees previously? Oh man, you gotta get out more
(There's Calhoun to the north of you, Fort Valley to the south of you)

Pro tip? Their most basic cold case turkey sandwich is shockingly good for what it is, a good option for those times when the brisket is running low & the lines are getting long. Pair it with their onion ring (chips), those are a cross between Funyons & the old Golden Flake ones.

They are opening the world's biggest Bucc-ees on Monday in Luling, Texas. It is replacing their very first super-center they built. That one was 35,000 square feet. The new one is 75,000 square feet with 120 gas pumps.

Thanks for the tip. We don't travel much, and haven't been anywhere near where one was since they started popping up. I actually purposely took a route to go to the one Florence, South Carolina.

I had a customer offer me a door today. He is a set designer, and the door was from a barn he built on a sound stage for a movie starring Will Farrell and Resse Witherspoon. He just finished a movie that had Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson in it. I still wonder where these people are staying while they are filiming here.

Well, I know someone who worked on Beverly Hills Cop 4 in Detroit, who said Eddie never came on set, had his stunt double block all the shots, and then they would CGI his face over the top in post-production, so maybe nowhere?

Yes, but quite forgettable obviously. That one was once to far into the well, and now 30 years later they are trying again.

At least they aren't doing the typical modern chad thing and calling it "Beverly Hill Cop" like a reboot

For the 3rd time in my last 5 orders, UberEats gets to issue me a refund for missing/wrong items.

5 different restaurants involved.

And 1 of the 2 orders that managed to be right there was literally only one item in it, so unless they brought an empty bag that one seems a little hard for even the crackaddled frybrained folks around this shithole town to fuck up.

[cuervo72]

So, is that three restaurants fucking up or a couple of drivers figuring they can apply a tariff to your order, so to speak?

[CrimsonFox]

I agree the uiber drivers are taking a taco tax

5 diff restaurants, 5 diff drivers.

And hmm, one of the cases could have been that very easily ... though it feels more like the halfwit picked up one bag when there was most likely two (cold poke bowl & hot crab rangoons, from a place who tends to pack stuff like that)

I recommend getting off your lazy bum and get it yourself. Or even better cook food yourself.

The latter ain't happening. I cooked more for my wife during her illness than I cooked in the other 50+ years of my life combined. I associate cooking -- as well as any extensive grocery shopping -- with cancer & misery and I have no interest in revisiting that. I've never enjoyed it, I hate any cleanup associated with the kitchen beyond measure. I'd have to be the dumbest sumbitch on the planet to voluntarily engage in an activity that literally has zero positive association.

The other? I leave the house voluntarily when my cigarette supply runs low, and typically pick up a minimum of two meals worth when I'm out, three if I can manage it. And I often only eat once a day when I'm the only one home (like now) Those five orders I mentioned occurred over a span of 15 days, and 4 of the 5 were intended to cover multiple meals if not days.

And ultimately I spent my whole life working to be in a position of minimizing my own misery as best I can. Anybody that doesn't care for how I do that legally can kiss my ass, , go fuck themselves, and generally take a very long walk off a very short pier preferably with a large heavy object firmly attached to their neck and ankles.

LMFAO, you say that like you think I give the slightest shit about my miniscule contribution to that.

Otherwise, see reply above. Apply as needed.
