Sunday: Eh.

I spent a long time trying to figure out what I wanted for lunch today.  Like I do a lot of the time.  I did the "look at yelp," but no matter where I recentered the map, it always seemed to suggest "Crab Bucket."  Part of this likely has to do with the fact that it's pretty close to where I live.  Anyway, seafood sounded good, and it was rated pretty high.
The menu contains a helpful pointer on what different animals look like.
The main specialty seems to be whole, unpeeled animals cooked in various sauces.  They can be ordered by the pot or by the bag, which is just a plastic bag filled with sauce and food.  If that sounds super messy, you'd be right, especially since utensils are by request only.  They also have a large sink to wash up after eating.

I went with the less messy fried food route:
With corn to claim it was "healthy."
I wanted a variety of animals breaded and fried topping cajun fries, and that's what I got.  Two each of shrimp, oysters, calamari rings, scallops, and catfish strips.  Everything was pretty good, except for the oysters, which is entirely due to the fact that I do not seem to like oysters.  The bag of shrimp that the people a table over had smelled really good.  It might be worth the mess.

  • These people are offended because Obama made fun of them for saying that him being president is an indicator of the end of the world?  Should he just have directly called them racist scum for suggesting that not having a white president is the end of the world?  If you're a fucking lunatic, you don't get the right to be offended for people calling you a fucking lunatic.
  • Here's why this Suicide Squad movie is a horrible idea:
    • Who the fuck is Slipknot?  I have never heard of him, and looking at his wikipedia page, I can see why.  He's a Firestorm villain.  Do you know who Firestorm is?  Neither does the rest of the world.  And I like Firestorm.
    • Are you afraid of a guy named "Captain Boomerang"?  No, of course not, no one is.  Neither is the Flash, because his villains (including Boomer) had to form a collective to stand any chance.  Flash agrees to this because it's fun to let them think they can win, given that if he wanted to, he could just punch them infinity times a second until their faces explode.
    • Enchantress has some cool backstory, but no one knows any of that, so she's just going to be "random magic lady."
    • Katana is a fucking hero.  Why is she on the team of bad guys who do good guy stuff to be not in jail, maybe?
    • Rick Flagg.  He is a military guy with a gun.  Plus, he has two g's in his name, so you know he's not a ggeneric military gguy with a ggun.
    • Harley Quinn is only in this because people know her.
    • Will Smith as Deadshot.  He also has a gun, and can shoot people really well.
    • Hulk Killer Croc smash!
    • I have also never heard of El Diablo.  So, to summarize:
      • This movie has nine "main characters," only one of which is actually known to a non-zero segment of the population.  If this is as long as the new Avengers movie, each character gets about 15 minutes of development time.  The Avengers also had a lot of characters, but they've also had nearly a dozen other movies to handle exposition.  They also have a lot of characters that people could probably name before they started their movie series. 
  • Bunnies.
