timing is everything& I'm blowing the joke. I'm probably only 1/4 done but by now either you get it or you don't. And no, it's not particularly funny when someone shits themselves to death.

Spending the long weekend in Canada ... not that i don't like roller derby & beer, but I could really use a couple of days to myself. Next week is going to be insayayayne - (e:dragonlady) will be going to Illinois next Saturday to buy a car from her sister, then I'm going to Baltimore all week for a conference, then we're meeting back up in Queens for a Friday wedding, then to Troy for a wedding shower on Saturday, and back to BUF by Monday for another week of the rat race. Woof.
I'm trying out the twitters for anyone who's interested

I went there recently with Lana and was seriously unimpressed. The service was good, as (e:uncutsaniflush) mentions, but the food was ew. I got poblano peppers stuffed with cheese, red sauce, beans & rice and it was all just ew. Bland and cardboardy with just the wrong flavor. There's a tex-mex place in Horseheads, NY, that I've been to several times - about the same grade of place but the same food was much better, with deeper and more attractive flavors. Lana liked her food more than I liked mine. She thought the lime margarita wasn't very good - I had a sip and the tequila was super strong - like (e:uncut) says it was slushy bad limeade.

I agree with (e:uncutsaniflush) I liked the carnitas. The margaritas tasted like paint to me.

(e:leetee) and I have eaten at el palenque lots of times since it opened. I'm not inmpressed by the margaritas. I'm old school enough to think that tequila and bad limeade and slush don't equal a good margarita.
The food is decent Tex-Mex. In Knoxville, TN, it wouldn't even come close to being the best Tex-Mex restaurant. My theory is that Tex-Mex gets better the closer it gets to the border.
The service is usually good. Victor and his crew are hard workers.

fuck this shit, specifically
What is this and how do I kill it? [In reverse order of importance.] It is a subterranean vine, woody and tough but flexible. I've been trying to get rid of it for two years since it started menacing my garage. It has a tendency to mingle with my herbs [although it does not choke them] and by the time it's finally visible the base is already woody and thick enough to be difficult to cut.
It does not seem to be a common weed, per se. I place the blame squarely on my idiotic neighbors who I hate.

I believe you need to hammer a bunch of copper nails into it. Someone told me that after we got rid of our.

No, not sumac, although we've had that before too. Yeah you can't really see it from these pictures but the leaves are pointy and red-tinged. The woodiness is more like a grapevine than a tree.
I think I'm going to have to remove most or all of the herb garden, which has been heavily colonized by all kinds of other weeds and sheaves of dead sweet peas, and start over again. Hopefully I could save the raspberries that volunteered from my idiot neighbors' yard and the Alpine strawberries, everything else is hearty or easily replaced.

hard to tell from the pics, but looks like it may be a sumac. if so, it will come back until you have eradicated it down to the tiniest root nubbin. They have a tendency to break instead of allowing themselves to be pulled out, which makes them very difficult to remove. Often you'll need a shovel and need to dig down at least a foot. I have managed to get them almost out of my yard, but thanks to empty lots and others who don't recognize this menace, new saplings are a continual problem. Once you learn to recognize them, they should be pulled at once!

Montserrat Garcia-Closas is a really prolific genetic epidemiologist, btw. I am constantly in awe of all the things she manages to publish in any given month. :::link:::
