Games are at 1, 4, and 8:30 ET, though the late game is Lions/Packers, which could only be of interest to fantasy owners of the incomparable Samkon Gado.
The Redskins game is the main event for Washingtonians, but it starts at 4pm and is against the suck-ass Cardinals. Convening at 1pm to celebrate football in the abstract (go Team A!) probably makes more sense. But I'll happily show up at whatever time is decided upon.
And the breakfast taco offer still stands. If folks are interested in showing up at Yglesias and my place at around noon, we could eat and then walk over for the 1 o'clock game. (You're out by 6 or so, right Ogged?)
Out? Probably have to leave DC by 4-ish. I'm usually up at 6, but not when I'm on vacation. The breakfast tacos sound great, and I'll try to make it for those. Can't be sure, though.
Sorry to miss the emergence of Apostropher from the underground bunker. Enjoy.
My only suggestion would be that you miss the what promises to be an awful 4:00 game, and instead have Fontana bring a disk from the unfogged archives.
I added a new tomatillo sauce to go with the pico. It's storebought, though, so it's in part shame that motivates the secret. I'll figure out how to make this hot sauce, damnit.
Sausage is one of the few foods that can let us connect with our ancestors in that "use the whole animal" way. I can be (surprise) pretty finicky about food, but when it comes to sausage, when people tell me about the literal and figurative crap in it, I just think, "awesome, give me more."
Perhaps the best of Reagan's one-liners came after he attended his last ceremonial dinner, with the Knights of Malta in New York City on January 13, 1989. The evening's m.c., a prominent lay Catholic, was rendered so emotional by wine that he waved aside protocol and followed the President's speech with a rather slurry one of his own. It was to the effect that Ronald Reagan, a defender of the rights of the unborn, knew that all human beings begin life as "feces." The speaker cited Cardinal John O'Connor (sitting aghast nearby) as "a fece" who had gone on to greater things. "You, too, Mr. President—you were once a fece!"
En route back to Washington on Air Force One, Reagan twinklingly joined his aides in the main cabin. "Well," he said, "that's the first time I've flown to New York in formal attire to be told I was a piece of shit."
I would really like to witness Wehttam Saiselgy-mocking in person. Barring his going to NYC for mockery, I demand WDC silliness write-ups. Demand, I tell you.

Barring anything unforeseen, I'm there.
when is that, exactly, folks?

1mm is good. I have to head up to NY that afternoon, so can't stay too late.

I nominate the Panthers.

If anyone else wants breakfast tacos (potato, eggs, chorizo, homemade pico, and a Secret Ingredient), shout out now! I need a headcount.

I'm not sure you can call it a taco and still consider the tortilla a secret.
Posted by tom | Link to this comment | 11-28-05 12:06 PM
and a Secret Ingredient
Yum.
Posted by Standpipe Bridgeplate | Link to this comment | 11-28-05 12:07 PM
This is why you should always ask for a clarification when people say that the secret ingredient is love.
Posted by tom | Link to this comment | 11-28-05 12:08 PM
And if the secret ingredient is "dishonor," you really need to pass.

As long as it isn't battery acid.

the secret ingredient is love
To be fair, it is a very thin line that separates love and sun-dried feces.

And I can't say for sure what all goes into the chorizo.
Posted by Armsmasher | Link to this comment | 11-28-05 12:17 PM
I toured a sausage plant once, just to be able to say that I had, and I'd wager that the more pertinent question is what doesn't go into chorizo.

I'm in for breakfast tacos. Is your address online?

Michael, are you coming all the way from Louisiana or do you have a new base of operations?
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 11-28-05 12:51 PM
I'll pick up e-mail addresses from this thread and send out invitations. Hungry lurkers should either step forward or e-mail me.

freedom toast, par exemple

Chorizo is lymph nodes and salivary glands. There's a high-end lite chorizo which is free of those, but it isn't really chorizo.

Does anyone still use the spelling "faeces"?

Yes, a surprisingly large number of people.
Posted by washerdreyer | Link to this comment | 11-28-05 3:18 PM
Tidbit: the singular of "feces" is "fex". But see Edmund Morris, writing in the New Yorker:

I now have to figure out how to work that anecdote into an IRL conversation, because it's fantastic.
Posted by washerdreyer | Link to this comment | 11-28-05 3:43 PM
Based on my taco eating experience, the secret ingredient seems to be shredded cheese.

#44: We don't need pictures, but someone needs to take ogged's "Will Not Date" list and check it against the ex. I bet she's Russian.

Half-Russian, actually.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 11-28-05 11:47 PM
Am now googling to see if half-russian has some sort of sexual connotation of which I am not aware. Or did you previously meet her, Wolfson?
