Yesterday, I had dinner at an upscale place on the Huntington Beach Pier called "Duke's".
The fish was very good and being politically correct, I couldn't hardly order beef so went with the macadamia encrusted halibut.
But, that's not what this is about. First of all, I had to ask for salt and pepper. Second, actually first in annoyance was that I had to ask the waiter how much to purchase a straw? He came back with two of the fanciest paper straws I have ever seen! And, it got soggy and bent in half, halfway through my first fill up; couldn't stir with it any more.
This phony bullshit is getting out of hand! First, they came for my plastic bag and I had to stuff my apples in my pockets. Next, they have criminalized plastic straws!
I'm so damned tired of being manipulated by CONTROL FREAKS ! Ninety bucks for fish, no salt and pepper and no straws!
Tell me that I'm not alone, here? Somebody? HELLO?
Good hunting. El Bee

Hello.....went out to eat awhile back, got a salad with my steak, asked for A-1 and thousand island the waiter looked at me like I was from another planet. Now I was in Missouri when this happen, might have been to Far East, I don't no, never had it happen to me any where else.

HA,HA,HA,HA, Sure glad I don't live in or near your utopian paradise.HA,HA,HA. I think they should outlaw farm animals next so as to not pollute the skies with methane. Thinking of emailing one of your state politicos to urge that very important legislation be passed to save our planet. Unreal.
What kind of medication is in your water that you don't know about ?

They have legislation on cow farts already in Sacramento but it will do nothing about it but tax the farmers it is never about the environment its always about money !

Walt remember Al Gore and the carbon credits its always about getting in your pocket they could give a shit about the environment ! They are insane vermin and need to be eradicated !

Hey! What about my straw? The damned thing was slightly fuzzy to begin with, I thought it had a wrapper and tried to peel it. Then it got soggy, wasn't a match for those ice cubes. Ultimately, I only needed two, and I was too ashamed to ask for a third. (they looked expensive)
Yeah, paper straws. )WTF A politically correct solution to a NON fucking PROBLEM!

I'm cooking a rib roast tonight. Need to stop on the way home and pick up some fixings. I think I'll buy a big box of plastic straws and then throw them all away as soon as I get home.

That halibut was a disappointment in that it wasn't steaked crossways as I prefer. It was filleted and I felt cheated. Then too, my date got a combo, shrimp and Chilean bass and it was mostly shrimp and bok choy. I wasn't that impressed with any of it.
edit: BTW this is Sally w/bok choy

Let's see? Littering straws, (plastic) presently, is not any worse than throwing lighted cigarettes from a vehicle in fire season; so if you're going to do it, do it now before it's upgraded to a class 3 felony. Also, you may be too late? They might have all been pulled from the shelves? Remember when some monster filled Tylenol capsules with rat poison to kill total strangers. Granted, that wasn't nearly as serious, but they had removed all Tylenol in a matter of weeks. <sarc> We can't just close our eyes to turtle deaths; or any of God's creatures. People? Not so much.
It really pisses me off that control freaks get away with so much! Damn, I would hate to be a friggin' Liberal! What's it like, Paul? And, where is ko ko?

PS just imagine, #884 and #885. So close together!

Don't see much in the way of straw debris, offshore...LOL
But, them dang party balloons are friggin' floatin' EVERYWHERE!
Posted by Kokopelli (Member # 633) on August 30, 2018, 05:32 PM:
I can foresee the day when people carry their own upscale straws into a restaurant like some do with their own chop-sticks.
I notice that WD-40 has 'Not for sale in Calif.' on the label.
I may finance my next trip to Calif. by selling WD-40 out of the back of my truck.
And business cards !!!!

Posted by knockemdown (Member # 3588) on August 31, 2018, 04:52 AM:
WD-40 is made from: FISH OIL
I've had otherwise 'finicky' fish gobble up a bait after spraying some WD-40 on it. No bullshit...
Posted by Paul Melching (Member # 885) on August 31, 2018, 05:32 AM:
I have used WD- 40 on plastic baits it works!
The wd stands for water dispersant ! its not really a lubricant .
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on August 31, 2018, 09:06 AM:
Yes, not much, in the way of a "personal lubricant"....so I'm told? About like spit.
But, it is effective, especially sprayed on a soft lure. I once hooked a little blue belly that stalked a small jelly grub. He fought with it, subdued it and ran off. I hope he spit it out?
It's (WD40) outlawed here? That figures! Liberals are so fucked up, it's disgusting! Eddie, quit picking on me! I know what I need to do.

I called the 800 # to ask WTF ????
Something to do with V.O.C.s
Volatile Organic Compounds. Sounds like something your Gov. Moonbeam would smoke to get over Linda Ronstat dumping him but whatever it is somebody is protecting me from it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go out into the shop and strip down some arrow shaft rebuilds with M.E.K.
Posted by Eddie (Member # 4324) on August 31, 2018, 01:17 PM:
OK LB...I was taught to respect my elders.
We use hot dogs with WD-40 sprayed on it for catfish bait on our Juglines and it works.

So lets Ban,banning!.We really are living the movie Idiocracy. This would be totally laughable if it wasn't true. And that is beyond scarey if you get what they really are doing. What's next?
Maybe banning stupidity would be a good start. Oh, I guess banning Democraps wouldn't work. They are just trying to kill America.

Coincidence, or....???

I'm really glad I'm as old as I am and wont be around during the final days of this moronic shit !
Is a civil war necessary to stop the madness , I think it would only last three days one day of war and two days of cleanup and diaper changes !
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on September 04, 2018, 07:03 AM:
I heard a good one the other day. Liberals aren't against everything; but whatever it is, so long as it's mandatory.
FRIGGIN' CONTROL FREAKS, they are!
In N Out donates $25,000 to the Republican Party and some Limp Dick California Democrat demands a boycott. Never mind that In N Out also donated to the Democrats.
That's what INTOLERANCE has come to. And, the assholes don't even get it. Where's the irony? DUH!
