This game doesn't matter though because RED, BLUE, AND YELLOW ON VIRTUAL CONSOLE, FEMALE LINK IN HYRULE WARRIORS, AND CLOUD IN SMASH AAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS IS A GOOD DAY
Apparently, Rex Ryan has a habit of trolling the opposing team by naming former players from that team as the Jets' captains for that game. I wonder who he'll choose for tonight's game, OJ Simpson?
FUCK farmers’ markets. Farmers’ markets are the single biggest ongoing scam in America today. They’re crowded and expensive and populated exclusively by yuppie ladies who cross eight lanes of traffic the second they spot a farmers’ market and are far too eager to pay $5 for two peaches.
So are farmers' markets there different than the ones here? They're not like this here…
Our farmers markets out here are awesome. I live for the farmers market each week. Even in the little towns here, they are not like that at all. Maybe Drew needs to get out of the metro area now and then.
Oh yeah, my town got one like three years ago and it's amazing. People coming in from like 5-10 miles out to bring really fresh stuff for half the year and it's really not that expensive at all. Sometimes there's people bringing honey from their farm about 25 miles south of here, which is the best.
When you get to the East Coast (Drew lives outside DC), they tend to not have so many farmers as hipsters overcharging for "artisanal" crap they probably bought at Whole Foods two hours ago.
What I found in NJ is that you're better off just patronizing the individual farm stands that the actual famers set up on the roadsides (though even there, the big operations often supplement their goods with shit they buy from the big produce wholesalers) The Amish stands you can find in some flea market-type setups tend to be decent, too. But Farmer's Markets out here tend to have very few actual farmers in attendance. (No doubt because setting up a stand roadside costs them virtually nothing, vs $200/weekend for a table at the market.)
$200/weekend? That explains a lot. Very few people are going to pay that kind of money to sell there. We have some good roadside stands too, but having the farmer's market has actually managed to bring people in I've seen running those stands so I feel pretty good about it. Either way, it's nice to have tomatoes that weren't sprayed with a "ripening agent"
Also any Amish stands are usually cool, we have some north of here.
Edit: The farmer's market has a website, it's so badly put together rofl
An Amish stand sounds so cool to go to.
The people manning the booths are usually Mennonite, but they get the stuff from Amish farmers. Good produce, but the meats and cheeses are the real highlights. If you're ever in Philadelphia, there's one in the Reading Market that's renowned.
You have no idea how exotic and cool that sounds.
We have one just a few blocks away that is good. They are pretty careful it is local produce or processed, like cheese, that also enlists local hands in their creation.
True. I went to one in DC on Capitol Hill once, it was meh. A few tables set up with some tired vegetables. Same with one I went to in Alexandria once. Maybe it was just the wrong time of year. Also too it was a long time ago.
I fucking love farmer's markets: some are better than others, but I'd much rather give a few bucks to a local farmer than get all of my produce from a soulless supermarket FFS…
Madison' Dane County Farmer's Market was awesome. It ran on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The only thing was, you had to get to the Saturday one by 9 or 10 in the morning, otherwise it was so crowded you could barely walk around the square.
Hey FM,you probably saw that whole BAND concert from Asbury is there on YT. Sweet stuff, but funny……….. when they get to Garth's 5 minute improv solo intro to Chest Fever [RIP Carol ] I guess they figure they should film him, but of course he's on a platform and surrounded by keyboards , amps and stuff, so they just get as close as they can and all they film is Garth's large white forehead
Looks like I'm not missing anything due to having to work tonight. Have there been any good Thursday Night Football games lately?
ETA: OTOH, it looks like Rex Ryan might be having an amusing night after all. Oh well–I hope SportsCenter has a clip with a big grin on his face, assuming the Bills hold on…
When I was a scenic painter in college, we had an official name for that hue: babyshit brown. (No, really, that was the official color of the deck of the HMS Pinafore.)
So after the Illini trounced the Boilermakers, do the Wonket Sportzbawlers think the Illinois-Ohio State game will be close(r)?
/ note to self, spray lacquer in the spay booth, huffing all those fumes can't be good.
No.
ROFL, highly unlikely
So we're on this weekend Zip. Lost Wages has you up by three tenths.
it'll be close- assuming my team doesn't spontaneously combust like last week
you have a spay booth?
That's where he watches The Price is Right.
He can fix it!
Is Brady deflating the balls again?
Sigh. Too much huffing of fumes I guess.
And hey, we beat the Buckeyes in 2007 to take home the esteemed Illibuck turtle (no relation to Cecil).

So I have a player in every single time slot this week. This could be fun.

Rumor was that it would be the guy who broke Geno Smith's jaw.
because Andy Reid is not their coach
BWAHAHAHA it's funny because it's true
Emmit Smith: I know the Pay Treats can be intimating, and are motorbated for vent shits…
I swear, it took me a while to figure out what the hell "vent shits" meant.

Same here. Inexpensive, amazing variety, mostly organic, and a nice sense of community.
When you get to the East Coast (Drew lives outside DC), they tend to not have so many farmers as hipsters overcharging for "artisanal" crap they probably bought at Whole Foods two hours ago.
Oh, might have something to do with the coasts. Here in Ohio I'm used to it being actual farmers, at least.

Forever wishing they had cheese at ours.
|Here's a few websites for the ones around here.| And |this| and |this| and there's a |huge one in LA twice a week|
I miss that from growing up in Illinois- we could get absolutely phenomenal fruits and veggies from roadside stands- cheap, also too

I've heard about that one from my cheesehead friends
With these heinous uniforms, having this in the tiny PIP makes it look like the old electric tabletop football, or maybe foosball.
I'm not sure what's worse: The quality of play or the uniforms.
yes
The perfect reply to the double interrogative. Or so they said in spy skool.
Did anyone else scroll down in the Deadspin article as far as "Great Moments in Poop History"? Because — just because.
"Aquaduece" There is no praise high enough to do justice to that story.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is having a game that makes Tim Tebow look good.
Damning with ever so faint praise?
He looks terrible…
Oh, FFS.
He's suddenly up to 19.8, I think I spoke a bit too soon!
that late TD sure helped- also making me feel better about benching the Bills D
and another chance!
And they blew it. I guess these are still the Jets.
yeah, that was weak..
nevermind…
He sort of pulled an Andrew Luck there. Fall behind early and just start chucking it late in the 2nd half.
Now I'm pissed I didn't play my Bills D- who knew they'd be kicking the shit out of the Jets this way?

Okay, so we have a problem here. Nike made the Jaguars new uniforms and apparently colored them with dog poop.

I hope they saved their receipt
I never thought I would say this, but the Steelers' bumblebee atrocities look good compared to this gawdawful garb…

If Gilbert and Sullivan were alive today they'd probably send up the NFL, and put their cast in exactly this barf gold uniform.

Totally worth it. Farmstand corn and tomatoes are worth every detour.
