As a recently (think, 4th of July) transplant from DC to St Louis, I must admit two things: I don’t know who DJ King is and Stefan Della Rovere is a really good pick up. He is strong and has heart, and from everything I know of the Blues’ history, that’s a good fit!

That "fattiest foods" article is the epitome of lazy pseudo-journalism.
Okay, we gotta fill out a list. First, let’s make sure all the fast-food chains get into our list, no matter that most of ‘em don’t have any deep-rooted connection to the state in question.
Then, let’s fill in a bunch of gaps with stuff that Adam Richman ate.
Crap, we still have some spots states left over. Okay, time to make up stuff. Texas? Ummm, how about a corn dog? Cow testicles are pretty gross, and the Rocky Mountains run through Montana – score! Shit, Idaho is still empty. You bastards are gonna get salad dressing, because I have a picture of a potato.
Allan Muir seems to have a man crush on Jack Campbell...
Yeah, Campbell’s a good goalie prospect… but predicting that he may be “the best goalie in franchise history” for a franchise that’s had Gump Worsley, Cesare Maniago, Ed Belfour and Turco?
Those are pretty big skates to fill, non?

Nice to see the garbage plate get something
At least it’s not anything from the City!
That thing’s the biggest, grossest, most delicious thing ever. It’s the kind of thing where someone says “hey, let’s go get some plates” and the first thing you do is wince. Then you eat devourer it.
And then you have a nice little brick in your stomach all day.
And you can get these things ANYWHERE

Are you
In CA? I just moved out here about a month ago. How do you want Blues games?
Its weird... half the year my blood is red... but then the other half... it's blue... hm...

Just because Jay McClement is the best defensive forward in the NHL doesn't mean he should win the Selke.
yeah, I'm in SoCal, the 909 as they call the Inland Empire
Where you at? I watch the Blues on DTV with the Center Ice package at home or down at the local Romano’s pizzeria in Redlands. We used to watch the games out back on the patio there until some cretin stole the damn plasma. Now they usually give us the back room all to ourselves for hockey games.

All of a sudden
I am craving Cuca’s again…
I wish I met you when I LIVED in Redlands.
PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
the Blues had depth in the categories of energy and attitude adjustment
That on tickled me. Which isn’t often when it comes to the Post.

I feel like MO & IL got ripped off.
“Oh, yeah, everyone knows Chicago’s deep dish pizza! Let’s do THAT.” Yeah, well, to that I say have a horseshoe:

For those who don’t know what the hell that thing is, sayth Wikipedia:
The horseshoe sandwich originated in Springfield, Illinois. This open-faced sandwich begins with thick-sliced toasted bread, and most often hamburger patties, or ham. Other meats used commonly are deep fried pork tenderloin, grilled or fried chicken breast, and fried fish filets. There is also a “breakfast” horseshoe that uses eggs and hash browns. The meat is topped with french fries and smothered with a “secret” cheese sauce. The cheese sauce varies from chef to chef, allowing each cook to create a signature dish, but common ingredients are eggs, beer, butter, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper.
That right there is a heart attack on a plate.

went to school in Jacksonville, IL
and there was an 24 hour diner that had awesome horseshoes.. i accredit my gaining of the freshman 25 to that dish right there.
Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.
Nom, nom, nom...
God, that looks good.
I’m only about 50 miles from Springfield…

Or you can go about 10 miles the other direction
and get one at R&B’s (or as some people still call it, Harold’s). I seriously think they put opium in the cheese when I get one.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
Forgot about New Douglas...
…which, as you know, is not hard to do.

It kinda just exists.
But no, R&B’s is in Staunton.

I fucking love horseshoes and pony shoes.
Two of the reasons why I was such a fatass in college. Those, plus hot wings, plus beer. OK, so I guess I’m normal.

If we actually had decent food like that down here, I would have put on weight instead of lost it.
College food sucked… too many Spaghetti-os. I think that I made up for it after I turned 21, graduated, and moved out.
Judging from the beer in my fridge, I more than made up for it.

Excellent.
My job just relocated to Madison County. I foresee an extended lunch hour in my future.

“I didn’t know that.”
Will be heading to Sgt. Pepper’s in the very near future.

Hamburger Horseshoe from the Barrel Head + Schlafly's Pilsner
Actually makes a decent combination. You just have to be in Springfield to get it.

Which Springfield?
The one in Missouri, or the real one?

No horseshoes in Springfield, MO.
Nor slingers.
What the non-state-capitolized Springfield does have, in relation to the food-invention theme, is title to the birthplace of cashew chicken.

Yum.

and today we'll pay tribute to Biz Nasty
I’ve always been fascinated by crazy people and homeless. For some odd reason I feel compelled to talk to them and take their pics.
Meet Joe and BobBo, they live by the water tanks in town here. They used to live in the local Jenny Davis Park but ESRI (GPS mapping software giant) is right next door and buying up all the land around there so the bums got evicted over to the tanks where there is no grass to sleep off the Smirnoff’s. Camp (home) is in the background. A group photo was NOT a good idea they said, I’m sure a few would kick out positive on a 28s and 29s NCIS search. BoBo is some kind of mutt cross, definitely some rat terrier in him. Joe took him to a gopher hole and said “sic em” and the little fucker started excavating half the hillside. I wanna borrow BoBo since my garden tiller is broke.
