Good beef is likely the only thing I don't like "spiced". Hamburger isn't really that good, but I still don't like it adulterated.

I don't remember, but ISTR that was my brother's (a veterinarian) point. He doesn't think much of it for humans, either.

Which "they"? ;-)

They won't go after the church. That looks bad. They'll go after the people.

That's only one of the problems. The main problem is the disconnect between the insurance policy owner, the insurance company, the service provider, and the patient. The free market can't work when the feedback is so opaque and convoluted.

I'd rather drink from the Fry-O-Lator than eat KFC food. OTOH, Chick-Fil-A isn't too bad. I rarely eat at fast food restaurants anymore though. If I'm going to go out to eat I'll pay the couple of extra bucks for the service, table cloth, and real food, too.

What's wrong with boiled potatoes, potatoes, and potatoes?

Italian is my favorite genre. Can't stand most Chinese, though did like it at a wedding reception we went to in Chinatown (NYC).

Here in the South everything has white gravy on it. Yuck! I found the Northeast had pretty much any sort of food you wanted. The South is much more limited than the NE (can't even get proper diner food here).

North Northeast. The North is famous for things like Lutefisk on a stick. ;-)

With steak I agree. But you probably haven't tasted a cajun style Johnsonville brat yet. So you guys never marinate anything?

I fully agree with your brother.

That'll be as bad because people will make sure of a good press coverage. In a village like this a lawyer might as well sell his home after that.

What feedback?

I don't like Brats. OTOH, SWMBO does. Sure, we marinate not so good steaks. We generally use what amounts to a heavy Italian dressing. Cooked with red bell peppers and onions.

OTOH, he's always worried more about animals than humans. He went into vet medicine, rather than the human sort, because it was easier dealing with the animals. All they can do is bite. He forgot that animals come with owners and they're too often worse with their animals than they are with their own children. He sold his practice and retired earlier this year. He's happy, though his wife isn't. ;-)

nationally.

The real shysters live in the Big city and make Snidley Whiplash look lovable.

Perzactly.

We use Chaka as the base and then spices. Whenever folks from the north or from Europe visit we have to tune it down, big time. Otherwise they'll begin to sweat profusely after a few bites.

Real dog people are like that. We've got three and when one has an injury that looks only a little bad we are at the vet right away. When I bust my arm real bad I just go "Aw, it'll heal. Somehow."

But we got tractors, guns and pitchforks :-)

We get Popeye's to go now and then... less overhead than going to a restaurant. We all work, so many nights nobody wants to cook.

Nothing, as long as it's with boiled chicken and boiled beef.

The Cantonese cornstarch+MSG flung-dung stuff is usually grim. Szechwan and mandarin can be very tasty.

There's lots of great Japanese food around. A recent combo that's appearing is Chinese and Japanese on the same menu, most of it pretty good so far.

My favorite Mexican sushi joint just closed. We are devastated.

All this is getting me hungry.

Late at night, by candle light, Jim Thompson penned this immortal opus:

Better give your newsreader a whack, it seems to have got stuck in the same groove.

- YD.

Are the Popeye's in your neck of woods Halal?

The senile old git has become a script kiddie. It is surely automated.

Impressed.

Curries are one of the few things that are better when reheated the second time - spices have a chance to equilibrate.

Yuck!

The one in Cornwall is very cute and a nice walk out to it at low tide. You will find the local roads very narrow - get a smaller car than you think you need! Sea food round there is very good though you want the N coast for Rick Steins. Don't bother visiting Lands End it's a dump...

I wonder if the S.O.G. is just scoring the posts based on the references header? Does that mean any unamerican leftie can nuke a thread - as far as Jims concerned - just by replying to it? Must do, since anything else risks exposing himself to a piece of the communist propaganda around here that might upset him.

A couple of years ago I tried to help him learn how to program in Basic, so he could do simple string operations on his sim files, but he couldn't manage it. Well, at least he's learned how to program in

What he's doing is juvenile vandalism.

Nope. Doesn't work that way. I may be a _cranky_ "old git", but I'm certainly not senile. I've yet to see any of you young bucks present a circuit schematic that was even mildly interesting ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Jim Thompson a écrit :

Well, certainly not to you. I don't do red neck design :-)

GFY, John, You're clueless and starting to act like Obama. Next you'll be blaming Fox News for your deficiencies. Is it vandalism if I choose to not see every one of your stupid ad nauseam responses to Slowman?

As for the "basic" string operations, that's been functional for over a year... ask my layout guy... even created a _very_ clever way to "bin" device sizes, so I can now use HSpice models straight up, unadulterated.

I'm too busy _doing_ things, to spend time touting my own "successes", like you.

Please take your Prissy and drive off into the sunset... you won't be missed ;-) ...Jim Thompson

The vandalism is the quantity of identical one line posts. It looked very much like you were going to do this to everyone you disagreed with

- which is everyone there is.

non-private

Do you mean to say that *everyone* here, except me, is a leftist weenie ?:-)

I already posted an apology for my "sins" ;-)

The one line posts were identical-in-number to the (mostly) one-line responses to Slowman's rants. Just call it "revenge-in-kind" ;-)

It's done now... no longer an issue.

Know the difference between lutefisk and snot?

Kids will eat snot. ;-)
