Quick outs

the decemberists


  • "Do you have any white country gravy?" Brother Byrd will forever hold a special place in all our hearts. I think it is safe to say that no other building in Austin reminded us so much of him as the Marimont. In perhaps a strange twist of fate, they are leaving this world together. R.I.P. Bill.

  • Need a job? Try the oil industry. The age gap at oil companies right now is mindboggling. From what I've seen so far, for the most part professionals are just shuffled around between rival companies. There is very little "new blood," so to speak. They are desperate to hire recent college grads, but kids still aren't that interested in oil. What I would give to have stuck with engineering and be making twice as much as I do now... Stupid math.

  • Shit.

  • Double shit.

  • Finally, by and away the coolest news of the week. Saturn frickin' rules.

EDIT: For those of you too LAZY to register for free to the Statesman Online (see link #1), the article was about the Marimont closing down after 30 years of goodness.

Thems the rules, boys. Fry at home. Throw out the oil. And I don't feel like signing up for your first link. Who's the other half of "they?"

The Marimont is shutting its doors Richard.

Whenever I'm at home, we use the same oil for like a month at a time. Must be a Mexican thing.

i believe arfeo has proven that with the use of bacon a frier can go on with the same oil nearly forever. Long live fried bacon.
