I was finishing up my mug of coffee when I posted that. So of course I had oatmeal for breakfast.
@anniem , I have one of those mini crockpots but never had any real use for it. Can you give me particulars like cooking time, oatmeal to water ratio or anything else I should know? Thanks, darlin'

Old fashioned oats 1/8 cup
Water 3/8 cup
There are no settings on my little crock, so I just plug it in and put the lid on. I usually forget about it for about an hour, then it is perfect. Maybe it was quicker when I mixed it the night before, but I am not usually that organized.

@TigerLily the idea is to piss down the slope at the front but one can have all kinds of fun pissing at the backsplash! If you've got a strong enough stream going you can actually move the urinal pucks around!! Like hockey!!   Make peeing fun again! That's what I say!

I like old fashioned with some milk. I had trouble getting it how I liked it, then I found a minicrockpot that is supposed to be for sauce or dipping or something which is perfect for cooking the oatmeal. I wish it were breakfast time, I'd like some now.

You're an adult! That means it's breakfast time whenever you want it!

I see a lot of "overnight oats" on social media nowadays.

I had forgotten how horrid some of those late 70s baseball uniforms were.

It's more common than you might think. Or want to think.

We have the troughs here in SF - at ballparks and certain clubs.  You know, places that make their money on beer. 

First time I encountered such a thing was at Candlestick.

I used to work at a place that had one.  Metlox Potteries (long closed but the products are now sought after collectables) in Manhattan Beach, California.  I walked in and saw some newly arrived gentlemen from south of the border.  They were sitting in front of it, happy as clams, drinking and filling their cups with the water that flowed down the wall.

I fell asleep instead. Napped like a wee child.

The empire storm trooper unis lost the vote, they need camouflage so the aliens won't so easily see them.

In the style of @FISH

Quote
Why would clams be happy? It has been suggested that open clams give the appearance of smiling. The derivation is more likely to come from the fuller version of the phrase, now rarely heard - 'as happy as a clam at high water'. Hide tide is when clams are free from the attentions of predators; surely the happiest of times in the bivalve mollusc world.
