Time Travel

 



Do you remember the days when we were able to afford meat? Yes, actual meat which we cooked on carbon footprint grills. Perhaps you recall that halcyon time and here at Dallas HQ we dialed back the clock last night to relive them.

After a brief dimensional shudder, a rip in the fabric of space and time, there it was, a grill with two New York strips sizzling above the charcoal.




Quick! Grill those bad boys before the Rainbow Time Cops bust down your door like so many SWAT teams ransacking Mar-a-Lago. Then let those steaks rest as you consider the future you've just escaped, a crazy timeline where America's run by a power mad gerontocracy, the Uniparty.

Can the future be changed by going back in time? And if so, where do we start? Perhaps with General Lee winning the War or Archduke Ferdinand's assassin apprehended before he took the fatal shot which set the end of Western civ in motion. But why stop there.




Portal through to the 11th C, stop the Eastern Schism, perhaps a saint speaks sense, turn the 1st Crusade into an allied operation against the Moslem horde and... Asia Minor would still be Christian, to say nothing of the Bosphorus.

"Gee, Grandpa...what was it like to eat real meat?"....

God bless and watch over our Farmers and Ranchers who are under attack by the powers of darkness.

There's so much talk about "Impossible meat" made from non-meat sources. Why? Is it supposed to be better for you?

Well I'm working on something I call "Impossible kale." It looks like kale, tastes like kale, but it's made from 100 percent red meat.

I just need a few investors to make my dream come true.

Yes, exactly which points would be the ones and what ripple effects would be created?
Great looking steaks, Parson. Been wanting a little grill like that. Those are pretty expensive now, too.

You all be safe and God bless.

Looks a lot like my grill. The proper term for those steaks is Kansas City strips. New York has attempted to hijack the good beef.

I'll take mine medium-rare please.


Bruce Catton (Stillness at Appomattox) describes how General Grant could not eat any meat with the slightest bit of pink in it. Had to be extra well done.

Living in Texas, you are probably safe now, and in the future, grilling meat. Being able to buy meat may become a problem.

Time to fire up all the charcoal grills, really mess with the loons who think we're wrecking the planet when the Icelandic volcano (LL's Red Mist operating?) spewed a 100 years worth of grilling smoke (and worse) into the atmosphere. If it's okay for Gaia it's okay for us.

Nice steaks. Living in ranch country does help with procurement.

LSP said...

That they are, drjim, and most especially in Holland and, errr, Canada. I'm no expert, but I think the plan is shut them down because save the planet, buy up their land for pennies on the Reichsmark and get even more fantastically WEF wealthy than's presently the case.

LSP said...

The steaks were medium rare perfection, Linda. And good little grills, that one's a little fancy (Ma LSP's) but I like the side table thing, handy.

LSP said...

Thanks for that, Jim, I stand happily corrected! They were right tasty.

LSP said...

Right with you, DOS, medium rare's the way to go.

So Grant ruined steaks? Go figure. Now I'm picturing him and Sherman cutting into an inedible, overcooked, dry, destroyed meal. Not a pleasant picture.

LSP said...

WSF, it was good to go back in time. The future's increasingly scary.

Smart people, with large freezers, know ranchers and lay in supplies. I might go down that route. Electricity better keep working...

LSP said...

Definitely helps, Paul. Did you notice China telling its aged satrap that it wouldn't be taking part in Climate Change talks for the foreseeable furture? Hahahahahha. And Europe's firing up its coal power stations. But, but, but won't that flood New York and Martha's Vineyard and kill all the Polar Bears?

I say fire up the grills.

LSP said...

Infidel, I pledge the Compound's not inconsiderable wealth to your new endeavor. Impossible Kale in every pot.

And glad you're back. Nice one.

Ferdinand’s killer was a tool, mostly. Taking a knife away doesn’t not stop a man intent on killing. But if we’re looking for some event circa WWI then I vote for just a few years earlier: go back and put a round of .45 into Jacob Schiff’s earhole. Puts paid to the Russo-Japanese War and major support for the Bolsheviks.
