Al on food

The chair where Al sits while he pens his pearls of wisdom.

 

It'll be in the Smithsonian one day.

 

 

 

That's a love seat.

Check in the folds.

For all you college girls out there, just remember.... there's no place like home, there's no place like home

Not surprised at all that pervert al has a hard time with self control

I'm shocked that Al is trying to lose weight through fad "diet" plans.  From the guy that preaches about personal accountability all the time, my ghast has been flabbered that he's now doing a schlocky no carb/shake diet instead of eating a balanced diet that simply consists of eating fewer overall calories and GASP adding some exercise of some sorts into this.

 

And by shocked, I mean I'm absolutely not shocked at all.  I anxiously await him criticizing "those people" for trying to do things the easy way and failing instead of doing hard work like a good patriotic MURICAN!

Sounds like Al took the family to their favorite spot the other night!

 

"a couple was arrested after falling asleep at a location of the buffet chain in Georgia. Local police offers were called to the restaurant late Wednesday on a "report of suspicious activity." Turns out that suspicious activity — or lack thereof —  was the couple deep asleep in the middle of the Golden Corral."

Too much turkey.

Considering I bought both chocolate and cinnamon sugar Pringles today, I'm not one to judge, but I think it sounds pretty good.  

 

What does Al think sounds pretty good?  Dorito's flavored Mountain Dew.

 

 

Time to change my plans for New Year's Day... Schofield, here I come...

 

I also wish Golden Corral was open for breakfast - it's like getting two huge meals in one sitting.

Rambling family made its New Year's plans tonight. We plan on playing a radio trivia contest the evening of the 31st (last year, we finished 11th out of about 45 teams, though we are at a huge disadvantage by listening online, the questions are delayed by a couple minutes) while enjoying homemade pizza; on the 1st, it's Golden Corral for lunch, and shrimp scampi for dinner.

A little disappointed GC is not open for breakfast on the holiday, as we like going for brunch and starting just as they start changing it over for lunch, about 10:30, but I understand, not many early risers on New Year's (and those that are up are off to the gym).

"Homemade pizza" has to be Digiorno. 

 

"Name a more depressing place to have lunch on New Years Day other than Golden Corral?" would be a good radio trivia question. 

 

 

"Off to the gym"

Four words you will never have to worry about Al actually following through

       
       
"We just ate lunch at Costco." "We just grabbed some dinner at Target."

There is a petition to keep Al away from his local gyms.

I think Costco is health food for Al.

 

Not enough load bearing walls to lean on.

I think Costco is the gym for al

 

Now that's a workout.  Besties.

Is getting off your scooter to load a family sized box of Sugar Smacks into your cart considered a squat rep?

It is.  But a little later in the day.

I can't read this anymore without freaking out.

 

A Radio Trivia Contest?  What the fukk does that even mean?  A trivia contest about radio?  A trivia contest where the questions are delivered via radio?  How does one submit answers?  Online?  Call a radio station?   How are they disadvantaged due to listening online?  Is it an in person contest yet they'll also take online?  I MUST KNOW.  I'm picturing the Bethke family all huddled around a computer listening to the tiny speakers.  Al looking like Cousin Eddie scratching himself while inhaling a plate of "nachos" which is really just little more than a bowl of ranch and liquid cheese.

 

Homemade pizza?  I think Digorno is a good initial thought, but this is the Bethke's we're talking about.  I think it's really English Muffins topped with canned pizza sauce and cheese and thrown in the oven.  Maybe the young Bethke offspring puts a Brown and Serve Sausage on top.  CLASSY.

 

Golden Corral.  It's not a stereotype if it happens every time.  I mean he even pulls the "I really wanted to pull the "arrive at 10AM and gorge on pancakes and bacon and hash browns but then stay through breakfast so we can score the lunch food as well!  ONLY THE FINEST FOR THE BETHKE'S!  The best part is that Golden Corral is like 30+ miles away for the Bethke's.  It's not just a "eff it, where do you want to go eat honey?  Meh, let's just go to GC its right on main street"  It's a goddamn trip for them.  That's amazing.  

 

And, then ending the night with Shrimp Scampi.  I'm just wondering why they don't hang at GC all day and end with one of the several shrimp dishes that GC offers like Buffalo Shrimp, Sweet and Sour Shrimp, Popcorn Shrimp, and their trademark Golden Delicious Shrimp.

 

I can't think of a finer way to ring in 2015 than this man's itinerary.  As JJSD said, I'm canceling my existing plans right now and following this plan. 

 

 

Jesus **** must be a bye week

Totino's & they added some canned mushrooms to make it "homemade"

This is priceless stuff. I thought me & the Wife having open bar for $60 was a good deal.

I can only help a bit with the radio trivia contest because I know of the one in Stevens Point, WI.  I think they get waaay more than 45 teams tho so I doubt that's Al's gig.

Totinos?

GREAT VIDEO!  Timely. 

Extra Kraft shredded mozz is another surefire way to achieve the "homemade" designation.

Any word on who won teh Trivia Contest?

Ask and ye shall receive.  Stupid contest, what with asking questions the answers to which you actually have to know instead of just being able to search for them.  He must have posted this much-appreciated update after his six hours at the corral.  Good to see he survived.

Finished 14th in our trivia contest, 11th last year. Too many local and non searchable answers hurt us. The fact we have to listen online, putting us about 15-20 seconds behind, takes away any chance we have of winning. We always figure a top ten finish is our ceiling.

 

The Corral has a sweet promo going right now.

 

In the off chance you didn't stuff your all you can eat face enough for the last couple hours were sending you home with a sack full of yeast rolls.  

Such B.S. that it was a trivia contest and not a "best googler" contest.

With an attitude like that, I'm sure that will always be their ceiling.

 

I don't know how this mindset could work in sales.

Al's got PLENTY of yeast rolls at home already.
