Happy Holidays

Nothin' says lovin' like...

...Bakesale Betty's.

Depicted: the brisket sandwich. It's thick fingers of brisket with greens, onions, kettle chips, and horseradish. Hearty, tasty stuff.

Q: Better than the chicken? A: personally, no, but being a sucker for chicken sammiches, I'm probably the last person to ask.

Also on the menu, pumpkin pie. By Cthulhu, it's criminal how delicious it is! Mildly spiced -- I hate when pumpkin pie is too strongly spiced -- and great even down to the crust. It's flaky and buttery, and the edge -- which I'll often leave behind if too hard or burnt -- is like a cookie. Best of all is the whipped cream; it's more like ice cream, it's so thick and rich.

Just on revelation of my plans, I was told by a woman, "Yummmm!!! I think I just came."

Welcome to my world, babe.

With a little help, I'm rounding out my soundboard. Still missing from this list: "LOUD NOISES!" from Anchorman, "Hooray beer!" from Red Stripe, and "Surprise, cockfags!" from Team America. The Wilhelm scream is a must-have.

Rinse your eyes out, kids. Thursday is back. And by back I mean Coco Austin's big ass. Ice T is aft of her in the red print shirt and white pants, but don't mind him.

The new Mine handbook

As seen on Uncrate:

Cue old TV show intro: "In 1953, the Central Intelligence Agency contracted illusionist John Mulholland to create a secret dossier of stealth and misdirection to be used by operatives in the field. All copies of the document were believed to have been destroyed in 1973, but a single copy remained...." Believe it or not, that's the real story behind The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception ($17). Reproduced by intelligence historian H. Keith Melton and retired CIA officer Robert Wallace, this aging document — many of the "secrets" seem more mischievous than malicious in modern context — has been enhanced with improved illustrations and an extended introduction.

Make a wish

Sometimes it really is less about winning or losing than about how you play the game.

Ever notice how some people just aren't cut out for sports?

You won't hear her coming

Her name is Rachel, she's at an AAC event, and she's holding a silenced Arctic Warfare Magnum. I'm not a fan of the tats and tunneled ears, but personality counts for a whole helluva lot.

The Only NFL Review You Need for Week 12

The Niners won and the Raiders lost. Week 12 was many thanks.

This week's Chicken Dinner (in the form of a turkey sammich with cranberry) goes to Drew Brees for hucking 5 touches at 371 yds to filet the Pats. This week's Goat goes to the Miami Dolphins for losing to the Buffalo Bills; seriously, Fins, that's not a good look.

At least you can still gamble...

LAS VEGAS – A Binion's Gambling Hall & Hotel spokeswoman says the downtown Las Vegas property that used to host the World Series of Poker will mothball its 365 hotel rooms in a cost-cutting move.

TLC Casino Enterprises spokeswoman Lisa Robinson said Monday that Binion's casino will remain open, along with the poker room, sports book and well-known Binion's Ranch Steakhouse.

Robinson says about 100 of Binion's 800 workers have been notified they'll be laid off when the Binion's hotel and former Mint tower close Dec. 14.

The Binion's Original Coffee Shop will also shut down, and keno operations will cease.

Robinson calls the decision a result of the economic downturn and a decrease in room rates and hotel occupancy at Las Vegas-area hotels.

Cream in your coffee

I haven't had coffee in a while. Creamy boobs would get me back on it.

As Mining re-opens in earnest post-Thanksgiving, we reflect on things we're thankful for, such as Slavegirl Leia cosplay pillowfights.
