Ah.  How nice.  Thanks for the info. How nice of the city to make all that happen.   Still more questions than answers though.

Presumably folks actually had residences in that area before the secession.   So are there property taxes pro-rated from Jan 1 up until independence day?
Can they get their vehicles in and out on this 1 way thoroughfare?   I also assume there were little shops and stores so does the city give them a subsidy to make up for the loss of revenue?  Or is that not really an issue.  Based on Gut Guy, Old Guy, Narc Guy and Senda Chili Dog guy it looks like there is plenty of foot traffic from the outside.

It has become an attraction more than anything, probably more people going through the area now than normal.  Not sure if the businesses are seeing any benefits since bars and restaurants aren't really open yet here, but it's possible in the future that they will.  I am hoping for a Soul Kitchen or two but that is just my neocolonial social-justice-tourist privilege speaking.

The tax question isn't an issue any more protest no longer sees itself as autonomous -- that was the effort of a bunch of professional agitators now dismissed as "white saviors" who tried to turn it into their personal political crusade, diluting the original aim -- and understands that its continued presence depends on the support of the residents and businesses in the area.  So, yes, they have access.

Sounds like at this point the best we can hope for entertainment out of there would be for the Big Chicken and his crew to go rolling through there with a handful of Rattle Snakes and a jug of Strychnine to put the CHOPpers to the ultimate test.

Ha!  With McGarrett rolling in to shut them down on the street, as an example of law-and-order in the land of Raz.

They have really potentialized little revolutionaries by providing all of us with masks and mini molotov cocktails in our pockets, as well as widely distributed in common areas.  The recommended 140-proof will burn with a nice comparatively low-risk blue flame, suitable for flaming Mexican coffees and Christmas puddings.

Hilarious! You’re now LARPing as an “activist?” I hope they come after your property next. If you’re not 100% down with that your’re a 100% hypocrite.

Of course he is 100% down for it.  He's already coughed up all his shirts - right off his damn back.   Now *that* is commitment when winter rolls around.

Bastard.  All we got was a Slack @channel about it.

The question that is really important is who and what was the recording was on the cassette tape arson attempt. And, secondly, what kind of office still is using same? And why still using cassette tapes- in place supposedly of high-tech like Seattle or CHAZ/CHOP? What do they do know about modern data retention formats that we don't?

Yes, and there was that one Christmas Eve I spent with my arm in an ice bath hahaha

I almost don't want to ask, considering. But I will assume the ice bath due to swelling from rolling too much lefse or maybe some really spirited organ (musical instrument) playing, nothing more sordid.

Is that SDM? Out from FCI Big Springs? Cape and ensemble was stolen by other inmates or seized under forfeiture laws?

No, it’s Randy from Trailer Park Boys. The dude never once had a shirt on for the entire series.

Since you're too pussy to go there, it was a charity wankathon that caused his RSI. Specifically a 24-hour circle jerk in aid of disabled Kenyan peter-puffers. It was touch-and-go by the 18-hour mark and he hit the 'gay wall', but he battled on through like a trouper. To give him credit, he's taken in scores of young homeless boys over the years, even if they're rarely seen again.

No I was a little enthusiastic with the flaming rum and got napalmed doing my best Mrs. Cratchit, big old gnarly thing down to the elbow.  I am only sorry the scar has faded; it's amazing what kind of street cred something like that gets you in certain circles.

If you get some sun the scar might show itself. It also, apparently, helps with Corona-Chan. I was witness to an event once with Flaming Dr.Pepper shots. Was funny because nobody got hurt but bartender got chewed out by boss. It could've been more ugly because the Everclear bottle was in close proximity. I also wonder why/how the unique shot was discovered. Some bored bartender, "let's see if I mix this stuff with grain alcohol and set alight it will taste like Dr. Pepper (which is not an ingredient in the shot?)

This is how the scar thing is done boys.  Not in some bar but with blood and iron!

I posted about the Schmitte before. It ended up being a planned event and so as not to damage too much. A fraternity gag, basically. Like a brand, hazing, paddling, whatever.

I laugh how some take a shot at a shirt but still don't make it. Often see on cancel culture cancelled shows like COPS and Live PD. Or in the UK or place like rivers and public parks.

The Toronto that is my favorite winter cocktail calls for burnt orange peel -- you just singe it with a lighter -- that has a distinctive flavor, and of course there are the ones that call for burnt sugar cubes for that caramel flavor like certain Czech absinthes, but I can't imagine burning a drink changes it all that much, probably just for show.  Pimms tastes sort of like Dr. Pepper to me, add Everclear to make it a shot?

One of the NYC fire bombers was caught because she wore a t-shirt bought on Etsy.

I never considered Pimm's and Dr.Pepper. The Flaming Dr. Pepper shot is Armaretto and Everclear. My guess is that the fire is for fun and just the cherry flavor of Amaretto and folks being drunk and hearing the name makes it taste like Dr. Pepper. It is a novelty shot. College bars, etc. It has been awhile since I had one. Pimm's I never liked and considered a bit weak. If summer and Britain I'll just do a G&T, large. Though I was pleasantly surprised to find, of all things, "Bitter Lemon" at my local store. I love that stuff but never seen here. I haven't looked for it though and serendipitous that I found.  And good for summer time. And, maybe, fights Corona-Chan since some quinine?

Please don’t force your inadequacies about size on us too, we already know how you feel about fatties.
