Bobservations

A new Mexican restaurant opened in town and Carlos I decided to give it a go even though there are already three Mexican restaurants nearby that we love. But … the Reposado Margarita, made with a splash of Tamarind Juice was spectacular—so good that I will be stocking the juice at Casa Bob y Carlos permanently—and the food was also delicioso. Better still, our server Marcus was a hot nugget with an ass you could bounce a quarter off of … though I didn’t try.

Best part of the evening? Dessert; Carlos has a major sweet tooth—I told Marcus he was a dessert head—and usually orders dessert and I take a bite and then I’m done. But a mistake was made in the kitchen and we ended up with two different desserts and I took a bite of each and watched as Carlos polished them both off. Marcus came back to the table, where both desserts were finished off, the dirty plates sitting in front of Carlos, and said:

“Wow. You really are a dessert head.”

And that’s Carlos’ reputation in Camden continues to spread. And he’s good with that.

This week’s Tuxedo Memory comes from February 2012

“Tennessee Tuesday: Tuxedo Is Not At All Pleased With You

He loves 'Modern Family'. He has two daddies, too.”

For the record, back in 2012, Modern Family was dragged into Tennessee’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill when GOP asshat state Senator Stacey Campbell declared the TV comedy a bad influence for kids because it featured two gay dads.

And that sent Tuxedo into politics.

Goddess I adore Pink, and now I have another reason for doing so.

She has teamed with free-speech advocates PEN America and Books & Books, a bookseller founded in 1982 , to distribute 2,000 copies of four books that have been banned by various public schools.

Read the banned books.

Roof EZ, a Florida roofing company, owned by Jason Pollym has started the 'Roof and Gobble' promotion, giving away a turkey and an AR-15 to anyone who buys a roof. Gun nut Jason Polly says:

“Everybody should have an AR-15. Everybody should have the means to protect their homes and their family. It’s not really catered to anybody, any state, any political view, anything like that. It’s all about safety.”

Sure, asshat. It’s strictly catered to Gun Nuts, Republicans and MAGAts.

After Lauren Boebert helped get Marjorie Taylor Greene kicked out of the House Freedom Caucus, Greene started channeling her inner mean girl to pay back her frenemy by calling her a whore after Bobo’s crotch-groping night at the theater.

Yes, the woman whose husband divorced her after she had an affair with a gym owner, and maybe the gym owner’s friend and may even another guy, is tossing around the word “whore.”

Look in the mirror, Marge, if you dare.

Thirty-five years after Tracy Chapman’s iconic track 'Fast Car' was released, the singer-songwriter became the first Black artist to win Song of the Year at the Country Music Awards; Luke Combs also won the CMA for Single of the Year for his cover of the song. While Chapman wasn’t present at the CMAs, presenter Sara Evans read a prepared statement from the musician:

“There is this genuineness and pure authenticity in folk music. I’m sorry I couldn’t join you all tonight. It’s truly an honor for my song to be newly recognized after 35 years after its debut. Thank you to the CMAs and a special thanks to Luke and all of the fans of ‘Fast Car.’”

Congrats to Tracy on this honor.

PS I like her version better.

Last week the Final Jeopardy category one night was “The Catholic Church” and as I like to do I began shouting the answers before even hearing the question:

"Who are Nazi sympathizers? Who cares more about money than the poor and the unfed? Who are pedophile priests? Who denied eyewitness reports of mass executions during the Holocaust? Who did the church burn at the cross for dressing like a man? Who absolved sins for cash payments, including sins that hadn’t yet been committed?"

The answer was: 

"The 1456 posthumous annulments of this woman’s sentence by the church was witnessed by her mother Isabelle?"

And the answer was: 

"Joan of Arc."

I was close.

This is Spanish model Sergi Salamanca who looks good in jeans and briefs and jocks and suds and especially without pants, but … Would You Hit It?
