One of our favorite things is beer can chicken wings from our local market. They're sold loose by he pound, mixed flat and drums. We got home last night and realized all of them were flats this time, very bizarre.

This is gonna sound like solicitation, because it totally is, so feel free to remove it or ignore it if you want. I don't mean to be spammy but I think it's worthwhile. As some of you may know, I do biomedical research with nonhuman primates. I literally train monkeys. I realize that it can be a kind of controversial topic with lots of polarizing opinions. Even for people that understand the necessity and benefits of monkey research and fully support its ethical application, one of the biggest issues in the field is end of experiment and end of life decisions. Not all experiments and procedures are terminal, but the resources required to house, feed, and care for monkeys often leaves researchers with little choice but euthenasia. For a bit of perspective, my advisor pays more each year to care for a single monkey than he does for my salary, tuition, and health insurance. There are sanctuaries for primates after their lab life, but often researchers must pay up front for the cost of caring for that animal for life. Additionally, sanctuaries are often limited by the number of animals they can house, the vet facilities on hand, issues with integrating new monkeys into the colonies, and a host of other difficulties. Most research funding does not include provisions for many end of life options; it can often be financially infeasible to place a monkey into a sanctuary. From my personal perspective, I think these issues should be budgeted for when applying for NIH or NSF or other grants (and often leftover money in these grants is used) but in a continually shrinking pool of science research funding, these sorts of provisions are often the first things to go. Well, the research coordinator of my lab and her bff (my wife, who also has primate experience) started a non-profit to raise money for research animal retirement. Rather than being tied to a specific sanctuary or rescue organization, the Research Animal Retirement Foundation hopes to facilitate finding a good fit and providing financial resources to investigators looking for other ootions besides euthenasia at the end of their animals' laboratory life. In addition to providing financial resources, they advocate on behalf of animals to change attitudes about life after the lab. They just secured their 501(C) and got a seed funding grant from ASU's Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics. They are currently working to raise money and are selling some shirts, if anyone is interested in buying them.
Do you guys eat chicken wings like this? It blew my mind when I first saw this.
as a former professional chicken wing eating champion, I only half disagree with this method. Pull one bone out as shown, but then stuff the wing in your mouth, and pull the meat off completely in your mouth is the correct way to eat wings.
And flats are the best, tho I've never heard of them being called that.

This is how I eat flats. Pull one bone out, use second bone as an anker to pull the rest off in your mouth. I do this twist thing to drums to get all the meat off in one fell swoop as well. I love wings. I have never heard them called flats either.

I hadn't either, but I'm going to start using it to sound all fancy and shit.

I took French for 2 years in high school. Just do it, take my word for it. Trust me bro.
Coming out of a long depressive funk a little. Spent a bunch of time today editing photos I took in 2015 and I'm finally through them all. 585 worth keeping, either to print/share or mull over at a later date. Feels good to have them out of the way.
Hoping to get through 2016's soon too. There are a lot fewer, owing in large part to previously mentioned depressive funk, so hopefully I'll be through them soon. Maybe as soon as tomorrow, but I'm trying not to push myself.
The upshot of all this is that there are, between this year and last, almost 200 Bonnaroo photos that I'll be sharing my favorites of soonish.

At a party with mostly couples. 1 dude 2 chicks finally show up. Logic says find out which one is taken and chat up the other. Well, just met my first MFF couple, fyi the dude looks drained of all his life force.

This seems like a really weird party.
Quick update. Molly is involved as all 3 of them crawled around in puddles in my driveway. Then M and F1 passed out snuggling. F2 is wide awake and squeezed right in between. The dynamic is amazing to watch. The guy can give two shits but either of em. He passed out in the driveway puddle before we got him in.

I take it back. This sounds like an amazing party.
I honestly didn't think saying things we're gonna be "lit fam," was something people actually say. It sounds like everyone is far cooler and way more ridiculous sounding than I am.
Also, this dude tried to float me a 20 to move his name up on the list. I've never had a job that was regularly offered tips, so when he came up to me, he said his name was "Joe, or Andrew Jackson," I laughed and honest to god wrote down 'Andrew Jackson' in parentheses next to Joe. He was trying to show me some shit next to his coat while he was doing this. I had no idea this mother fucker was trying to bribe me. One of my co-workers encountered him a few minutes later and must've handled it like a pro, because I benefitted from it. If I hadn't been told, I shit you not, I was about to say "Andrew Jackson?" out loud when it was actually his turn for a table. We had a dude who insisted we call out for Megatron, so I figured this dude was just fucking with me. Man, writing this down and explaining it to my co-workers who were training me hahah I must've seemed like such a rube, oh goddamn that's funny.
edit. Also a dude gave my $3 to hand him his keys. And my boss fist bumped me.
