Nah, you’re just falling for silly stereotypes! When we hardy Canucks make Caesars at home while watching hockey, we usually don’t bother with the celery stalk.
Well, this hardy Canuck makes do with a Bloody Mary. Mainly because a Caesar makes him heave his guts. Something about the clam juice.
Hell, I organize the over/under at the local racetrack on race days, as to Bloody Caesars made at the bar. Usually, my book balances, and I make a slight profit besides.
They have a fine, rich taste (Caesars, I mean ) and when made to one’s personal preference they have just the right degree of endorphin-releasing spiciness. Plus there’s no end of ingredients you can add to this iconic drink, like horseradish or various hot sauces, or, as The Keg does, a skewer of hot peppers. The tomato juice and the clam juice both contribute essential nourishment and vitamins. Indeed, one thing I’ve learned is not to order a Caesar at a restaurant before dinner, because it fills you up with its goodness and reduces the ol’ appetite!
Thus Caesars are more appropriate at non-meal times, as illustrated by Jesus in the picture above. The Creator of the Universe is obviously watching a typical after-dinner evening game. The bowl beside the glass of Caesar might contain popcorn, potato chips, fries (not poutine!) or, since He is the Son of God, maybe roast cashews with sea salt.
He’s just wise and all-knowing. He knows in his wisdom that President’s Choice cashews roasted with sea salt are literally half the cost of Planter’s, even less when you buy two tins on sale. Praise Jesus!
I was going to link to a YT clip of the epic Caesar-making contest on an episode of Letterkenny a couple seasons ago, but shockingly, a clip does not seem to exist. The ep is worth a lookup if you have streaming access.
Now, back to the schadenfreude. Apparently trump recently accused Nikki Haley of a bunch of lies that are normally attributed to Nancy Pelosi. I guess it’s hard to tell whether trump is suffering from incipient Alzheimer’s or whether he’s just dusting off a stock set of false allegations and using them against Haley, because the truth just doesn’t matter. One can only hope it’s the former.
Don’t get me wrong, I would not normally feel schadenfreude at the possibility of someone having dementia, not even someone as awful as trump. But I have a theory that, assuming that he may be coming down with incipient dementia, he’s at least partially responsible for doing it to himself- he has such an absolute disregard for the truth that I think it may have affected his very grasp on reality. Not a scientific or medical diagnosis of course, but willfully and repeatedly denying reality to others can’t help your own grip on it.
From the previous link, said by a former Obama adviser:
“If Joe Biden has done this [mistaken Haley for Pelosi in a speech], it would lead every newscast in the country.”
Yes, because that would be news. Biden habitually doesn’t make these kinds of mistakes, quite the opposite. Unfortunately, when the Great Ass Trumpet garbles something it’s not news because it happens many times every day. What’s hypocritical is that the behavioral trend itself is not more in the news.
This was posted in a P&E thread, but the judge in the E. Jean Carroll trial asked if any of the prospective jurors thought that Trump was being unfairly targeted.
I’m not recalling the names of any of those three – Powell, yes – but since Trump goes through lawyers like Kleenexes this is not surprising to me. I’ll have to dig up Legal Eagle’s grading-the-lawyers video to see if any show up there.
