@scout
Scout, male dolphins have been known to get very sexually aggressive with human females. They also have been observed practicing a sexual habit that Cuccinelli wouldn’t like but it was dolphin M2F dolphin foreplay.
I am a wealth of useless information. Sigh.
Just sittin’ here watching blues on youtube, waiting for the bacon candy to finish cooking for the party tomorrow.
Poor Westgate. Someone has a big red truck parked on the front yard lawn on Strasburg. How trashy looking.
They had better hope that Lafayette doesn’t catch them.
@Cargosquid
ehat is bacon candy?
That should have been WHAT is bacon candy.
Huge crowd in Manassas for the fireworks last night! Great show!
195,000 jobs added in June. That’s more than expected.
Huge traffic jams too I hear.
How were the fireworks?
Let’s put someones name in lights and I don’t mean a good way.
Randy with Washington Gas needs to be up in lights for being rude to Ms. Howler. Nothing pisses me off worse than someone talking over me rather than listening.
My gas bill for May 11- June 10th was $160.00. That is horrible. I have a heat pump which operates with electricity unless the temperature drops below 40 degrees.
The same time period for 2012 brought a bill of $62.
I simply could not get anyone to hear my concern. I kept saying something is wrong with my bill. I got bull snort as an answer. I also was not put on with the person’s supervisor as I requested. I was given another number.
Bad monopoly here. I know WGS is the best of the gas companies but geeez. I think they are now outsourcing btw. Talking over the customer seems to be a familiar bad behavior of outsourcing.
@Moon-howler
Dredge bacon in brown sugar, and whatever seasonings you like.
I use ginger, cumin (a little goes a long way) nutmeg, cinnamon, and sometimes black pepper.
Bake a 350 until done.
Use thin cut…. it cooks before the sugar is burned and is crispier. Thick cut is good too, but you get “chewier” bacon…not so done.
Or you can broil the thin cut…BUT you have to watch it every second.
Also known as “pig candy.”
many recipes online. I like to bring it as a dish to parties….. I offer them a “free sample.” Its usually treated like “bacon crack.” People have to restrain themselves from “pigging out.”
when you bake it, do you put it on a rack or rumpled up foil or what? How do you keep it out of the fat?
how much do you cook to bring to parties?
@Cargosquid
Can one use the microwave?
I put it on on a rack on a baking pan. Some people put it on crumpled tin foil….but when I make it, I’m usually making too much for that to work.
Microwave….I don’t think so… you have to caramelize the sugar.
The trollies over in the forest are shrieking about incompetence and waste and see nothing wrong with blogging on county time. Their rationalization is that it’s their lunch hour. That’s fairly ballsy. I wonder how many have read the county acceptable use policy?
Wifi, electricity, equipment, time, all ultimately belong to the taxpayer if we follow the trolly line of thinking, except when it comes to them.
That puts an arrow right through my heart! Imagine not being able to poach time and equipment from the kingdom. How bloody unfair.
How will the trollies and bestiaries survive without feeding the nottingham critter?
Mistress Moon and Mistress Elena are being pitied because they haven’t told the merry men to behave. They have also been called the awful L word.
Woe is I. I have been called by other’s names.
They’ve become the Nottingham Nabobs of Negativism…
Much speculation over Friar Tuck. Well, look beyond the Gainesgsters. And there are many besides the leopard woman – who is clearly a weakness caused by emotional anger. Be careful of weakness – it causes blind spots.
I thought campaign workers weren’t allowed to work for supervisors.
A county employee clearly works for the Murray campaign.
What exactly does the rule say? (one of the new resolutions last year brought up by John Jenkins.)
I wonder if Mayor Bloomberg will issue an edict banning bacon candy along with the other verboten NYC eats and drinks. No doubt he will also lodge a complaint with the Feds about how Virginians are smuggling illegal and deadly bacon candy into his city in a blatant clogging attack on the arteries of his citizens. I can see it now: Mayors Against Illegal Bacon Candy.
@Wolverine
do you make bacon candy also?
I am wondering if it makes a mess?
Great Britain finally got a winner at Wimbledon! It´s been a while.
Andy Murray won. A great game!
@Moon-howler
If the drippings stay in the pan…. washing with hot water and soap immediately, while everything is still soft….. cleans up easily.
Since there are few Cuccinelli supporters here, I give you this:

And the fact that McAuliffe made about 1.5 million bucks of that little fiasco known as Global Crossing.
Bacon candy?!! Are you kidding, Moon? I live with this skinny woman who has me eating like a rabbit to cut down on a post-retirement girth. I can’t even eat the rabbit, much less bacon candy. I get a lot of water in this place but not much bread. Even my beard hairs are getting thinner. Bless her heart. She’s trying to make a new old man out of me.
Wolverine, you sound like you are being tortured. Are we going to have to spring you for an afternoon of bacon? Fatten you up before you get taken home?
Cargo is just the guy for the job…him and that bacon candy.
Cargo, how long do you cook it? I would just get a disposable broiler pan. No fuss no muss.
@Cargosquid
Are you suggesting he did something illegal? If not, then so what? If he did, then I am sure his political opponents have had plenty of time to expose him.
@Cargosquid
In 1998, former U.S. president George H. W. Bush gave a speech in Tokyo on behalf of Global Crossing, for which he was compensated with $50,000 of Global Crossing stock. He sold the stock in 1999 and 2000 for more than $4.5 million.
Nice work. I guess lots of people made money with Global Crossing. I guess they sold at the right time or got wind that the company had financial problems.
I see nothing scandalous.
@Moon-howler
No..nothing illegal. Just that thee was a whole lot of insiders that made money. Including Bush.
@Moon-howler
For the bacon candy…. for the thick cut…about 30 minutes are so and thin cut…about 15-20 minutes.
I’d definitely keep an eye one it and judge by color, crispness, amount of billowing smoke….
Insider trading is illegal. I dont think we want to imply that either did something illegal.
Of course, members of congress do what Martha Stewart did every day and THEY don’t go to prison.
Band of Merry Men!!! You are pissing off the Nottinghamites! They think you sound like Ann Coulter. EWWWWWWWW!
Remember, you mustn’t make unkind remarks about people, in particular never mention tutus, or people being on the take, incompetence or dictators. It just isn’t a nice thing to do!
Got it, princes of thieves?
Lost A/C on Saturday.
Learned that the company called has many bad reviews and is overpriced.
Cancelled repair call.
melting……sooooooo hot…..
New people coming tomorrow for estimates.
Going to a hotel or something tonight.
Maybe they have a pool… 🙂
Bringing Scotch with me…..
Melting………….
Take the computer!!!
My house is freezing. My daughter went home and I have a sofa bed and an air mattress.
Come on up….just don’t mention politics….Cargo…I have a gun.
My refrigerator is screwed up. I probably should have warned you.
Thanks for the offer. Politics? Who me? 😉
The hotel was nice. Forgot the Scotch, but went to bed immediately.
We’re getting estimates today…. probably using this company. They are bringing two window units for free.
Seems like a good faith effort. Hope it works out – I’m imagining the scene at Howlers House.
It seems that the Sheriff is not letting comments that defend the county through. I guess that increases support for his notions.
I expect that overtime for the police department is in part because of the death of Officer Yung. Too bad the powers that be couldn’t tragedy ahead of time.
Sheriff I know you follow me…why name call not once but twice. I have to ask, who is the real horse’s ass?
He thinks anyone that disagrees is “Donna”. Lately it’s been Donna or “Jason”. You’re right, it helps him actually believe what he writes.
@Friar
You certainly are speaking the King’s truth. I just posted and doubt if I will ever see it. I suppose if they don’t let the opposition through then that means everyone is in agreement? More sleazy politics.
This is all a build up to challenge the current chairman. Knock out Marty and Corey and the CXO and smooth sailing. I am willing to bet the cxo doesn’t even read local politics.
Here’s me post FWIW:
“Maybe the overtime is to citizen benefit. You know, more cops on the beat.
Why would the cxo and bocs benefit? “
Does anyone else see the irony in old Sheriff calling someone else a political bully?
Thought I would laugh my ass off at that one.
Remember that kid expression–takes one to know one?
Has Vegas posted any odds on this fight?
