Can’t you guys go ruin a thread like Cricket or car racing with your gross condiment talk?

Do you not like any condiments? And honestly, aren't condiment discussions best done like actual condiments? Added to other things and not meant to be consumed by themselves?

This is fun
 
Re: Guns For Everyone!: Another Mass Shooting!

Hot sauce is the best condiment ever. Tabasco sucks (unless it's the chipotle version, and even then, it's only okay). Cholula is solid, probably my "go-to" sauce.
Sriracha, while good, is a bit overrated. If I'm feeling really saucy, I go for El Yucateco Salsa Picante de Chile Habanero Green. Thankfully, there's a family-owned Mexican place that has it...good God it is delicious. And it'll make ya cry a little (up to 250K scoville).

And I've also had the following, and this is some serious hot sh*: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&sou...aw0cIPqWztrdjbbgQ_tswifJ&ust=1556853130838707

Made it 3 minutes without drinking anything. It was like eating an oven.
 
Re: Guns For Everyone!: Another Mass Shooting!

Sri racha is only overrated for those that discovered it after it became trendy. If you've been using it for over 20 years before most people had a clue about it you know its brilliance and versatility.

Cholula is fine but there's at least a dozen more out there in prefer. Locally we've found a garlic pepper aioli made with capsicum. Oh my.

The versatility is what makes it good, I agree. It's a different kind of hot, that goes with just about anything. There's almost a sweetness to it, along with the heat.

What would you even drink? Anything with water content would just make it worse. I'd probably try to eat pure baking soda* if I did that.
* I have no idea if this would work, I just liked the image. Would vinegar work?

Dairy. You drink dairy. There was a group of us that did the chip challenge, and we had a couple gallons of whole milk on hand for those who needed it.
 
Re: Guns For Everyone!: Another Mass Shooting!

Full fat yogurt or even sour cream would be better. Actually, heavy cream would be good because it is still liquid. Clarified butter is probably best but probably just as a sort of Deep South mouthwash.

Whiskey would also work. Barrel strength is best. 151 is probably the best readily available.

Even whole milk is about as effective as beer. Too much water. Capsaicin isn’t water soluble.

This makes sense. In my younger days when I ate insanely hot wings sour cream would counter that very nicely. Same principle I assume.

Now I'm reduced to Buffalo Wild Wings' mild. But... it tastes the best. This is a monstrous betrayal of principles but there is no arguing with your own tastes.

THis could be a fun game. Add a condiment to a thread and see how we can make it on topic. :D

No Liberty Meadows today. Khan the cow is front and center today. But, Tara Ross over on FB posts daily history stories. Monday is Medal of Honor Monday, Friday is usually an on this date.

Presented for your enjoyment:

On this day in 1775, Patrick Henry faces off against Virginia’s Royal Governor. The Gunpowder Incident was afoot! Naturally, the conflict was created by guns, ammunition . . . and a British attempt to confiscate them.

How unsurprising that our ancestors wrote the 2nd Amendment, with incidents such as these inspiring them. :)

King George III had been limiting the inflow of guns and ammunition into the American colonies for months. His Governors were to “take the most Effectual Measures for Arresting, detaining and securing any Gunpowder or any sort of Arms or Ammunition,” unless a royal license could be produced.

It was basically an 18th-century version of gun control, wasn’t it? The American colonists were furious!

You already know that the shots at Lexington and Concord were sparked by British General Thomas Gage’s attempt to seize ammunition stores. But you may not know what was happening in Williamsburg that same week. Colonists there were patrolling their own town. They’d heard a rumor that the Royal Governor, Lord Dunmore, was preparing to seize their gunpowder.

The rumor was true! Patrick Henry had just delivered his “Liberty or Death” speech, and Dunmore was worried. “[T]heir having come to a resolution,” he would write, “of raising a body of armed men . . . made me think it prudent to remove some gunpowder which was in a magazine . . . .”

Dunmore secretly brought in 20 marines and sailors under the command of Lt. Henry Collins. When the citizens of Williamsburg began to relax their patrols, Collins would take advantage of the opportunity.

He didn’t have to wait long. On the night of April 20-21, the guards who were watching the magazine left early. At about 3 a.m., Collins and his men quietly seized about 15 half-barrels of gunpowder, while Williamsburg was fast asleep. An alarm was raised, but it was too late.

The colonists were livid! The magazine had been “erected at the public expence . . . for the protection and security of the country . . . in cases of invasions and insurrections.” Lord Dunmore had no right to seize the public’s gunpowder.

Indeed, a mob might have assaulted Dunmore but for the intervention of Peyton Randolph, the speaker of the Virginia House of Burgesses. Randolph convinced the townspeople to seek a peaceful resolution.

Dunmore was wily, though. He tried to use the people’s fears against them, making the (untruthful) argument that he’d seized the ammunition because he was worried about a slave uprising! He argued the gunpowder was more “secure” with him, but he promised to return it, if needed.

Randolph was inclined to believe this falsehood. Patrick Henry was not.

By May 3, Henry was outside Williamsburg and in command of a detachment of men from his home county of Hanover. He demanded the stolen gunpowder—or restitution for it.

In the meantime, Williamsburg had finally learned of the “shot heard ‘round the world” at Lexington Green. Perhaps some people were getting worried?

The next day, the colony’s receiver general gave Henry 330 pounds. Henry called off his men, but he was only temporarily appeased. He would soon leave to attend the Second Continental Congress.

Dunmore hated being outdone by Henry. On May 6, he issued a proclamation denouncing “a certain Patrick Henry” and his “deluded Followers,” for unlawfully taking up arms and exciting rebellion.

Don’t you bet they wore that proclamation like a badge of pride? ;)

P.S. The painting is of Lord Dunmore escaping to HMS Fowey. He was forced to flee Virginia after these events.

That certainly justifies our country allowing people to have guns that are capable of murdering over 50 people in just a few min, or murder a class of kids, or break into a place of worship and murder people trying to do their First Amendment rights.

Thank goodness for people like you who remind us that all of that is well justified.

Attempted Workplace Shooting Stopped by Aurora PD.
MAN THREATENS CO-WORKER, ARRESTED WITH WEAPON

(AURORA, IL) May 1, 2019: A Dolton man was arrested Thursday after threatening to pull a handgun on a co-worker. A loaded weapon and extra magazines were discovered in his work locker.

On May 1, 2019, at around noon, Aurora Police Officers responded to Glanbia Performance Nutrition, 600 Commerce Av, to investigate a report of an employee with a weapon who had threatened another worker. Upon arrival, police met with plant managers who explained that earlier in the week, Cox told a co-worker that he was going to "Pull a [pistol] on you." Later in the day, another employee reportedly observed Cox wearing a fanny pack which he believed contained a weapon. The employees eventually notified management, who immediately called police.

A search of Cox’s work locker revealed this described fanny pack, which contained a 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun loaded with 14 rounds, and two additional loaded magazines with 27 additional rounds. Cox does not have a valid FOID card.

*Edit*
Dolton, IL is located two and a half miles from the Indiana border and most likely where the handgun and ammunition were purchased. Dolton is located 63 miles from Aurora, IL.
