Friday Open Thread [1.16.15]

Sorry for my absence this week with the open threads. I was sent deep down south on business (and then my superiors complained about me not being in the office). But this time I didn’t see any horrible evil signs or cross burnings, so maybe the region is improving, or maybe there is not a black President during an election anymore. I can’t wait to see the white conservative reaction to Hillary Clinton, specifically whether it will be sexist on the part of self hating white conservative women.

Here are some fun maps. Is Irish food really the preferred cuisine of Delaware? What is Irish cuisine? Steak and potatoes? Corned beef and cabbage?

    Poor West Virginia. “Hot Dog”

    Man, nothing says “awesome vacation” like a 4-hour flight out to Salt Lake City, a guided tour of the Mormon Tabernacle, genuflecting at the altar of Mitt Romney, and…

    eating Hawaiian food? WTF is up with that?

    Check the methodology: The rankings are based on (to use Delaware as an example) how many of its restaurants have “Irish” in the name compared with the rate of such restaurants in the US overall. You might have noticed that Delaware has many “Irish pubs,” most of which don’t actually serve anything more Irish than beer.

    I’ve been through Ohio, but I don’t remember any “soup” restaurants.

    Hey France, sorry we didn’t show up for your rally. Here, listen to James Taylor sing “You’ve Got a Friend”, and I’ll speak French to you………All they have to do is call, right?

    Once you have over a certain amount of money, I think it may make you insane.
    That’s the only excuse I can come up with for John Terry.

    “Poor West Virginia. “Hot Dog”. I would suggest possum as an alternative, perhaps a holiday meal.

    Another hilarious set of reviews from Amazon, this time for Dashboard Jesus:

    Disappeared after three days
    By Eric Van Horn on January 10, 2015
    I would definitely not buy this again. The figure itself was fine when it first arrived, but three days after I put him on my dashboard he mysteriously disappeared. The car was locked at the time. Has not been seen since.
