Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

better than the burger I had

but, it was a good burger

sea scallops are a staple on the coast here... i'm a fan.  i don't like bay scallops, though- they are like taking a bite out of the ocean they're so salty.  and tiny.  

one thing that is funny in that subject, though- you've got to be careful where you source your sea scallops... some unscrupulous folks catch skate (a tiny manta ray looking fish) and shove a sharpened pipe through them rendering somewhat round chunks of white flesh that appear to be scallops- and sell them as such. 

sea scallops take on whatever flavor is adjacent them easily.  because of that they ought not be prepared with dominant flavors unless that is your intent.  I absolutely love them saute'd in real butter and touch of olive oil, and place ATOP pasta and alfredo.  perhaps with a little bit of crispy bacon crushed and sprinkled over.  some chives.  some cracked black pepper.  simple and really good.  damnnnnit... guess what i'll be having for dinner now?

fundamental misunderstanding of their own existence
Suggesting a certain topic is impolite to discuss is a great way to avoid progress in the topic.  And as such, those topics MUST be discussed.

On a college football note, Florida is finally turning over a new leaf and has agreed to another h&h:  Colorado and now Texas.  Paradigm shift in the scheduling policies of the Gators.

I am 100% certain that openly discussing religion on this internet message board will result in absolutely no change in the viewpoints of the posters on this message board.  Consequently, zero "progress" (whatever the heck THAT means to you) would be made on the topic, in this particular forum.

There are other, better places to discuss these things-- specifically in-person and face-to-face, where the anonymity of the internet is removed and people are forced to interact with one another in completely personal and far more meaningful ways, rather than the memes, tropes, and generalizations invariably associated with internet-based discussions, from the inception of internet communication, to this very moment.

But on a college football note, I'm delighted to have Florida and Texas schedule a home-and-home, should be a great series even if it is somewhat distant in the future.

is this where we discuss recent movies and issues we have with them, or is there a cinema thread?

or, you could push some traffic to the Big 12 board

Ok then...I was surprisingly happy with Avengers End Game. Sure, there are things to quibble with, but I thought it was very well done, hitting a lot of great character arc and philosophical points.

Captain Marvel was a fine movie. Not especially good, not especially bad, just ok. It had some nice points, but wasn't especially compelling. Having said that, the people without Y chromosomes in my house liked it a lot more, which--to me--is as much a commentary on the dearth of quality women hero movies, as it is on the movie itself.

I love the comic book movies. And Star Wars movies.  And Lord of the Rings movies.  And Harry Potter movies. Those are the kinds I really enjoy seeing on the big screen.

I also really enjoy a lot of indie and art films, but those I tend to watch at home. Usually alone, because my i s c & a aggie wife would honestly rather watch a Michael Bay explosion movie, than any indie or art film.
