GravatarI killed it, ha


GravatarDid anyone remember to bring the bacon up here?

(Checking pockets)

No, but I've got some ham hocks.


GravatarFull disclosure--not a big scifi fan. That said, I very much enjoyed Serenity. (Just got back.The best part was sitting next to an 8 year old kid whose eyes practically bugged out of his head.)


GravatarWait. What the hell are you all watching that has gigolos AND chupacabras?


GravatarThe best part was sitting next to an 8 year old kid whose eyes practically bugged out of his head.

Why, was it his first "adult situation?"


Gravatar I've never met a chupacabra I didn't like.

"Chupacabra is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful chupacabra I've ever known in my life."


GravatarNo, but I've got some ham hocks. Central Scrutinizer

GravatarI remember the movie about the razorback pigs. It was really bad. Russell Mulcahy directed it--he was responsible for many of Duran Duran's early videos.

Ah. A whole weather cycle, then.


GravatarChupacabra is a Republican.

He won't go down.

GravatarWait. What the hell are you all watching that has gigolos AND chupacabras?

I'm getting conflicting advice on whether or not its worth watching later...


GravatarI find that randomly flinging hand grenades is the best strategy in many situations.

GravatarThis is what happens when people try to domesticate wild animals.

Sad, really. Same ol' story, every time.


Gravataryeah i had a feeling razorback was bad, but it was the only bacon related horror flick i could think of.


GravatarThe captain's daughter is hot. She's got freckles and nice tits.


Gravatar" I find that randomly flinging hand grenades is the best strategy in many situations." -- Thers

That's pretty much how I got through college.

GravatarSpork - Chupacabra Seattle: Partly Cloudy with Sunbreaks!


GravatarJay C--No, it was in the scene where they're holding off the revers (orks/deatheaters.) He brought to life the expression, sitting on the edge of your seat. He clearly had no trouble suspending his disbelief.

I hope there will be a sequel.


Gravatar yeah i had a feeling razorback was bad, but it was the only bacon related horror flick i could think of.

What about "Bacon Away"?


GravatarChupacabra: It's Not the Heat, It's the Humidity (4 stars)


GravatarSo I guess liveblogging Two Weeks' Notice is out?


GravatarWhat was that really old really really bad movie about giant shrews that went out of control? (THEY EAT THEIR OWN WEIGHT IN HUMAN FLESH EVERY HOUR! or something)


GravatarThe captain's daughter is hot. She's got freckles and nice tits.

I'm a sucker for freckles.

And nice tits.


GravatarWilliam Blake to counter the letting loose of the dogs of war.

O for a voice like thunder, and a tongue
To drown the throat of war! - When the senses
Are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness
Who can stand? When the souls of the oppressed
Fight in the troubled air that rages, who can stand?
When the whirlwind of fury comes from the
Throne of God, when the frowns of his countenance
Drive the nations together, who can stand?
When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle,
And sails rejoicing in the flood of Death;
When souls are torn to everlasting fire,
And fiends of Hell rejoice upon the stain.
O who can stand? O who hath caused this?
O who can answer at the throne of God?
The Kings and Nobles of the Land have done it!
Hear it not, Heaven, thy Ministers have done it!


Gravatar So I guess liveblogging Two Weeks' Notice is out?

Not without two weeks' notice.


GravatarWhat I wish for is a revival of Mystery Science Theatre.


GravatarChupacabra: It's The Tits.

Good stuff. I remember seeing one of the Lord of the Rings with a few little kids diving for cover whenever the riders came on screen. Takes me back to seeing Return of the Jedi when I was young and freaking the fuck out.

Gravatardammit i saw an ad for that giant shrew flick, can't remember. (it's the important stuff you forget)
pretzelattack

I saw a shrew back down a cat once.
This cat wasn't an outdoor cat, so maybe she was puzzled at the resistance this thing put up. It stood it's ground, got up on it's hind legs and kinna hissed in her face. She walked away.

GravatarWell that was a fine movie.

GravatarFlorida Law Lets Citizens 'Meet Force With Force'

MIAMI — Welcome to Florida, the Sunshine State. Please avoid unnecessary arguments with locals. Starting today, they may be more inclined to shoot you — at least that's essentially the message from a national gun-control organization as a Florida law goes into effect empowering people who feel threatened to use force, including firearms, to protect themselves.

... was Last spring, the legislation sailed through the Florida House on a 94-20 vote, was unopposed in signed by Gov. Jeb Bush...

Guess I'll have to pack some heat for the little ones on their next trip to Disneyworld. Don't want the kids to be defenseless if they sneak up behind and startle Micky or Donald who now have the right shoot the little buggers.

That is how I met my first cat. She was teaching a huge white shepard about territorial concepts. She had a bit of a reputation on the block. A few months later when I went to get the mail with her wrapped around my neck, the kids on the street freaked. She was quite a cat.

Gravatarrewatching Hitch Hickers Guide

.


GravatarHahah Geraldo!


GravatarI'm totally surprised that Nixon didn't have Douglas killed off along with the Kennedys...

Douglas was probably below his radar screen. Actually, I would imagine that if he could have gotten away with it, he'd have taken out Pierre Trudeau, who was Prime Minister during Nixon's presidency...

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ Articl...718632_20305918

To Canadians, Pierre Trudeau is a beloved hero. To former president Richard Nixon, he was a scheming "son of a bitch" who evoked a deep hatred within Nixon's administration.

Newly released audio tapes secretly recorded during Nixon's rein reveal a loathing for Trudeau that extended to the former prime minister's staff and even to Canada.

The tapes -- more than 500 hours worth and screened by The Canadian Press -- were made public recently by the U.S. National Archives, based in Maryland.

Although the 30-year-old tapes are scratchy and difficult to make out at times, Nixon's apparent dislike for Trudeau comes through crystal clear.

"That Trudeau, he's a clever son of a bitch. You see, he's on that side of that Canada liberation movement," Nixon is heard telling his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman on April 18, 1972.

"He's trying to play both sides so he has them out there and he sort of tries to give us a little colour guard. But after the way we treated the son of a bitch. . .," Nixon says, he words cut off by cross-talk.

The next three minutes of the tape are blanked out for national security reasons, but it's clear Nixon didn't think much of Trudeau or his staff as the conversation with Haldeman progressed.

Calling him an "ugly bastard," Nixon slams Trudeau aide Timothy Porteous, who had refused to allow Haldeman to open an elaborate set of sculptured doors at the National Arts Centre so Nixon could make a quick getaway from a dinner he and his wife were attending with Trudeau.

Outraged at the incident, Nixon orders Haldeman to launch a smear campaign against Porteous by planting a fake story in the news media.

"Play it hard, find a way goddammit. Give it to somebody around here," Nixon is heard telling Haldeman.

"You've got to put it to these people for kicking the U.S. around after what we did for that lousy son of bitch (Trudeau)."

With Lynndie England's conviction earlier this week, seven US soldiers have now been sentenced for their role in the Abu Ghraib torture scandal. But is it enough? DER SPIEGEL looks at two lives destroyed by Abu Ghraib. One, an Iraqi community leader -- the other, his American guard...

GravatarGo to dinner, and the thread goes wild!

The "Threads Gone Wild" videos are the best!


Gravatarok, SNL back to normal with boring fighting couple sketch


Gravatarjello--thank you, I did. I appreciate it. It was a difficult program to get off the ground, but we had good results with it, and some schools are using it.

The problems I had were not so much with the parents, but with the administration.


GravatarI have to wait another 2 1/2 hours before I can appreciate any of your commentaries, 'til then I will just sit back and enjoy your updates


GravatarMena--sorry you're ailing. What can I cook to make you feel better?

Trust me, were I local, I'd run it over to you.


Gravatarwell, kidz...

i'm a gonna give this chupacalabasas thingy a try.

so i'll be moseying on back to the last thread for the liveblog.

later


GravatarMarcia--how do you get through the day without your Keith fix? Enquiring minds want to know.

GravatarThe Story of Mouseland
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouseland

Mouseland, was a place where all the little mice lived and played, were born and died, and lived pretty much like you and I do. They even had a Parliament. And every 4 years they had an election. They used to walk to the polls and cast their ballots. Some of them even got a ride to the polls. And got a ride for the next four years afterwards too. Just like you and me. And every time on election day, all the little mice used to go to the ballot box and they used to elect a government. A government made up of Big Fat Black Cats.

Now if you think it's strange that mice would elect a government made up of cats, you just look at the history of Canada for the last 90 years, and maybe you'll see that they weren't any stupider than we are. Now I'm not saying anything against the cats. They were nice fellows, they conducted the government with dignity. They passed good laws, that is laws that were good for cats. But the laws that were good for cats, weren't very good for mice. One of the laws said, that mice holes had to be big enough, so the cats could get their paws in. Another law said, mice had to travel at certain speeds, so the cat could get his breakfast without too much physical effort. All the laws were good laws for cats. But oh they were hard on the mice, and life was getting harder and harder.

When the mice couldn't take it anymore, they decided that something had to be done about it. So they went en masse to the polls. They voted the Black cats out. They put in the White cats. The White cats had put up a terrific campaign. "All that Mouseland needs is more vision." They said, "The trouble with Mouseland is all those round mouse holes. If you put us in, we'll give you square mouse holes." And they did. But the problem was that the square mouse holes was twice as large as the round mouse holes, so now the cat could get both his paws in.

And life was tougher than ever. And when they couldn't take that anymore, they voted the White cats out and put the Black ones in again. Then they went back to the White cats, and back to the Black cats, they even tried half Black cats and half White cats. And called that coalition. They even got one government made up of cats with spots on them. They were cats that tried to make noise like a mouse, but ate like a cat.

The trouble wasn't the colour of the cats, but the fact that they were cats. And since they were cats, they naturally looked after the cats, instead of mice. Presently, there came along one little mouse, who had an idea.

My friends, watch out for a little fellow with an idea.

And he went to the other mice and said, "My friends, why do we keep on electing a government made up of cats, why don't we elect a government made up of mice?" "Oh!" They said, "He's a Bolshevik" So they put him in Jail.


GravatarThe "liberal media":

The War Against Tom DeLay
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/ 0...artner=homepage

It starts out kind of OK then this:

"Or from a different perspective: "The anti-DeLay groups are sore losers - or 'Soros losers' as we call them," said Barbara Comstock, a former spokeswoman at the Justice Department under President Bush who has been active in Mr. Delay's defense, referring to the billionaire George Soros, who contributes heavily to Democratic causes, including MoveOn."

Yes, George Soros. His name is mentioned 5 times in this 2 pager from the NYTs. Throw in move-on and CREW and you know the commy lefty leftist liberals are out to get delay.


GravatarFUcking Hilarious w. Mike Myers. oh DAMN !!


Gravatarcherry tarts?


GravatarMike Myers has not been fuunny in a long while before this, and is it me or he's too old to play Keith Moon in an upcoming movie?


GravatarHow is this Kanye West character supposed to be socially relevant if I can't understand what the fuck he's saying?


GravatarFuck off Toby.


GravatarDoug--are you making cherry tarts?


GravatarI hope that Kanye is paying Robert Palmer's estate for the orchestra...


GravatarThis is such a terrible period for popular music. Utterly forgettable garbage.


GravatarCherry tarts? Made them. Cooked and still warm, sitting on the side counter.

i was thinking the same exact thing!!!


Gravatar" This is such a terrible period for popular music. Utterly forgettable garbage."

Absolutely true, just like what they said about the stuff I listened to when I was 14 16 18 21 25 30 and so on.


Gravatarthe biggest problem I've had with the batch of cherries this year, was that I ordered them without sugar. I should have gotten them with the sugar, they are that sour. I marinated these cherries for 12 hours in sugar before cooking them into the tarts.


GravatarSlides one tart towards Sallyh.


Gravatarooo Weekend Update should be good...


GravatarHey Sallyh! I'm fine, really, just stuffed up. After two hot toddies, I'm not feeling so bad. And I don't know what you mean about Keith - I watch him almost every day.


Gravatarzut! Tina Fey gave birth and is not there


GravatarNo Tina! bummer. (she had a babay)


GravatarDamn.


GravatarDoug--better too sour than too sweet.


Gravatargot another bag of apples today for the next set of pies.


GravatarThe tarts still are such.

Ah well, I couldn't taste them anyway.


GravatarAlso I've got some fresh squeezed Apple cider from this valley. Will have to drink it before it ferments too much and explodes the jug in my refrigerator.


Gravatardoug,

Cool enough to bake there, eh?

I'll have to wait a few weeks....


GravatarWow. I just watched the Firefly premiere. How in the world did that show get canned?


Gravatartoby needs people to talk s-l-o-w-l-y


GravatarCool enough to bake? It's been drizzely for a few days, and today it only got up to maybe 50F.


Gravatardelay going on fox. Who'd a thunk it.

at 9am, will he be drunk?


GravatarDoug - after much trial and error, I have determined that Gavenstein apples make the best pies. They soften up right away in the oven so they cook more thoroughly. Unfortunately, they're only in season for abot a month, September.


GravatarDoug--I didn't bake dessert tonight. Blue Bunny ice cream instead.


GravatarHow in the world did that show get canned?

Because FOX is run by twits.


GravatarThanks for the Kos link, Richard. It's good to see that they publish more than just suicide letters over there.


Gravatarmena

The best apples to cook with first have to be the freshest ones you can get your hands on. Picked that day is best.


Gravatarand today it only got up to maybe 50F.

89 forecast for tomorrow, but upper 60's later in the week.

I'm looking forward to it.

I don't know myself. I didn't watch but a bit when it aired but when I was home sick this week SciFi aired them back to back. I am hooked. Far better than I imagined.


Gravatarmena, i always do my pies with cortlands apple, and it's delicious


GravatarWell. I'm not sure where that little blast of communicativeness came from, but it's a sure sign of something amiss. Maybe I should just go to bed.


GravatarFrom that wapo link:
"The grand jury is scheduled to expire Oct. 28, and lawyers in the case expect Fitzgerald to signal his intentions as early as this week."

Next week could be better than last week.


GravatarMy son and some of his friends are sitting in the next room munching on roasted Hutterite duck from the Milford colony.


GravatarPlum - I can't remember if I've seen Cortland apples around here, but I'll keep that in mind. I bought my father a Honeycrisp sapling for his birthday last April. We have one, and we can't bear to pick it. Have any of you tasted these?

Doug - agreed on freshness, with apples as with so many other things.


GravatarI miss Tena Faye.

Yup. Not a human in the bunch.


GravatarToby is fat, ugly, and nobody likes him.

GravatarGravensteins are great for pies. For munching, my newest favorite is the Pink Lady. Almost as tasty as Granny Smiths.


GravatarJust a drive-by to say hello and that GWPDA may just be the nicest person on earth.


GravatarAnd he's got a big problem.

I'm thinking the cancer in his head would get him first.


GravatarMena, sadly in Quebec, we just have 4 or 5 apples that are grown, cortland, macintosh, lobo and a couple more. The apple trees need to be resistant to our cold winters and not all apple tree can . The cortland is good because when baked, it still keeps it shape and doesn't become all mushy


GravatarSNL's got nothin'.


GravatarI don't remember SNL ever being that funny during my lifetime, so even when it has the occasional spark, it's like parody or meta or something.
.


GravatarIf you've got macintosh apples to work with try an oven temp 25 to 50 degrees higher, if you've got mushy apple problems. If your crust has sugar in it. (mine does not), you may need to remove that from the mixture.


GravatarI mean since I've ever seen it.

"During my lifetime" sounds like I'm posting from beyond the grave.

GravatarYork (York Imperial)
Use sauce, pies, baking
York was discovered near York, Pennsylvania around 1830, and is still widely grown in south central Pennsylvania and southward along the Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge mountains. It keeps extremely well and is popular as a culinary variety. It is probably a little too tame for most people when eaten fresh, but it does have its adherents. It earned the appelation "Imperial" for its keeping quality, not its flavor.


GravatarExactamente, El Gato! Head cancer explains everything! We shouldn't be hating on these guys, we should be, ahem, helpingthem!


GravatarKallisti.


GravatarOh, and Fuck the Trolls with a York Imperial apple...

A Charleston Gray watermelon would be more appropriate, IMO.


Gravatarwhole wheat flour just does not work for me in baking. The crust are too heavy, gets like cardboard. And when you're eating pie, you should not worry about being it good to your health, it's pie!


GravatarThis seems like a better one for Toby.

Wolf River apple
Harvest September
Season September into October
Quality subacid, moderately tart, tender and juicy
Use baking, sauce, drying
Once in a while you'll see a gigantic apple the size of a small pumpkin in the fruit market. More than likely, you are looking at Wolf River, a variety from Wisconsin. It is more than a novelty, as it excels in the kitchen, especially for making apple butter and for drying. It can be a good fresh-eater, too, under the right conditions. For eating fresh, look for the ones with more color, and get them early in the season.

Bush and Cheney Aides' Testimony Contradicts Earlier White House Statement

By Jim VandeHei and Walter Pincus Washington Post Staff Writers Sunday, October 2, 2005; Page A05

...

[A] new theory about Fitzgerald's aim has emerged in recent weeks from two lawyers who have had extensive conversations with the prosecutor while representing witnesses in the case. They surmise that Fitzgerald is considering whether he can bring charges of a criminal conspiracy perpetrated by a group of senior Bush administration officials. Under this legal tactic, Fitzgerald would attempt to establish that at least two or more officials agreed to take affirmative steps to discredit and retaliate against Wilson and leak sensitive government information about his wife. To prove a criminal conspiracy, the actions need not have been criminal, but conspirators must have had a criminal purpose.

Yeah. Speaking of apples, I read a book that listed the varieties of apples, potatoes, and tomatoes we had before the advent of industrial agriculture...it was shocking. In some cases, we went from over a hundred distinct varieties to a dozen or so. And many of 'em are lost for good. Chalk about another triumph for the Invisible Hand.


Gravatar"The grand jury is scheduled to expire Oct. 28, and lawyers in the case expect Fitzgerald to signal his intentions as early as this week."


Well, if there is a Santa Claus, Fitzgerald will indict Bush and Cheney along with Libby and Rove, and for good measure, throw in Judith Miller as a co-conspirator. If I've been real good this year, Santa will arrange for the "stand by her principles" WMD bullshit artist to cop a plea and rat out her Whitehouse pals.


GravatarPhila

There are many of these varieties growing somewhere (apple trees are very long lived if not cut down) so they may not be lost at all.


GravatarYeah, I watched a special (a frigging special?) on the rise of the Red Delicious apple. I never liked them when I was younger, thought they were waxy and gross. Turns out that's one of the reasons they occupied so much of the market- more indestructable than other varieties, I guess.

.


GravatarHeirloom fruits and veggies - trying to save the genetic stock as mass produced produce (no pun intended) becomes more and more monocultured. They offer some unusual stuff- colored potatoes, melons and squash you've never heard of. Very tempting- IF I didn't have a black thumb.

Talk of apple varieties brought it to mind


GravatarAnd many of 'em are lost for good. Chalk about another triumph for the Invisible Hand.

GravatarTomato seeds also survive the sewage treatment process. There was a park in Seattle that used treated sewage -uh- solids for landfill that gat a great crop of tomatoes with their more conventional landscaping.

Maybe they're hoping Wilma will fix things for them. If that don't work, we'll be hiting Syria...then onto Iran. Gotta keep the sheep looking toward conquest and away from the enemy within.
