Breeding for derived traits that define a breed is always delicate work, and reputable breeders try to balance that. Puppy mills are shitholes that are responsible for a lot of ongoing misery and genetic disease affecting breeds, but they are persona non grata at pet shows.

Cat breeding mirrors that, more or less.
There aren't really any legs to stand on when brachycephalic cat and dog breeds are enshrined in show criteria. The goal is to cripple the offspring, in a cute way.

Buncha dad's asking "how did they get a Nike sponsorship?"

There's a bunch of Nike Parks across the country, I assume the sites were really easy to clean up while leaving the buildings for park maintenance storage and workshops, or even small museums at some of them.

That's not what raw means. Peanuts as most people know them are always roasted.

You'll know when you've found raw peanuts when the bulk sign has "fer burlin" posted on it.

The UP Michigan mines were salted with Cornish immigrants who had worked in similar mines in England and a pasty is basically a perfect mine lunch so they caught on with the whole population. You can find pasties basically anywhere UP Michiganders might have wandered, so all of Michigan and most Michigan border states.

I went to a meat shoot at the Elk’s club where you had to shoot a target with a rifle and the best score got the best meat.
At least that's somewhat skill based. Back home we had "turkey shoots" which was paper target shooting with shotguns and whoever had the most pellets hit bullseye won a turkey or a ham. Being a shotgun it's all chance (there was a limit on how tight your choke could be) after pointing it in the vicinity of the target.

I want the go to a crawfish boil. Do people eat the corn and potatoes or is that just for show and to soak up some of the juices?
All the vegetables are for eating including the ones that shouldn't be for eating. Because people like different vegetables this usually turns into a big round robin where you go around getting the veggies others didn't eat because they think they aren't for eating.

There were a lot more restaurants back in the day that wouldn't sit you if you weren't in a coat.

Dress codes barely exist today outside of ridiculous dinner clubs. The place you gotta wear a blazer to are like the gimmicky exceptions instead of half your night life choices. Plenty of places the maitre'd gonna give you the stink eye but they gonna sit you and sell you 10x margin drinks anyway.

I'll bet that was mostly so they could have a list of arbitrary reasons to refuse service to certain people.
That's certainly what it's turned into now (in extremely obvious dog whistle ways like "no white tank tops" instead of anything so complicated as a dinner jacket) but I'm pretty sure they just had a sign out front saying "no n*" in the time period I'm thinking of.

This makes me think, given Niagra Falls straddles the border between the US and Canada, which side's authorities have to deal with corpse clean up?
IIRC there's a cove sort of inlet carved out by the drowning machine whirlpool and it's on the canadian side. It tends to be where it will spit up large things that have fallen in like your barrel or your arm attached to a piece of barrel.

E. Being where you want your barrel to come out it's also where the cops set up to arrest you.

I'd rather have a nice country wine than the pineapple catpiss that comes out of non-traditional wine climates.

Sometimes the stars align in the great lakes or east coast and there's a vintage that rises to the very most average of wine the likes of that coming from climates made for it.

My favorite wine americana is a north american wine pest so thoroughly decimated european wine production in the 19th century that just about every old world wine had to be grafted onto resistant north american roots causing a crisis of identity for appellation obsessed french and italians that exists to this day. Its only champagne when it is champagnese grapes grafted onto american roots planted in champagnese soil, everything else is sparkling wine.

in Louisiana we have Natchitoches meat pies which are empanadas but they changed the name so they could market them better i guess. good stuff though.
In my experience nachitoches meat pies are so named as a warning that they aren't gonna be as good as an empanada. A good empanada and you might only need a dash or two of hot sauce as you go, often optional. Never had a nachitoches meat pie I didn't need to bite the end off and pour the hot sauce bottle in.

But good news you can get crawfish pies in hand pie format so you can double fist a kolache and a crawfish pie at street festivals and Jazz Fest.

The perfect chicken is an orb containing all the requisite mammal parts to just grow, surrounded by as many wings, thighs, and legs as geometrically possible. The body being a minimized orb would probably meet your noise making requirement while we were at it.
