Sure is a lot of animosity here lately

OK, enough about San Francisco. Talk about the geek/nerd world in the burbs of Phoenix.

This is an electronics discussion group. I don't introduce sexual themes, straight or gay. You and Jim do, mostly male/gay.

You two have a lot in common.

A personal recommendation made from experience, no doubt.

Sometimes, Mr. Larkin, a cigar is merely a cigar.

Why???

There you go again.

I met Craig a couple of times, when were were out on Judah Street and Craigslist was headquartered around the corner on 9th Avenue. He was only netting about $100K a month at the time. The sex ads were free and numerous, and he made his money off employment ads. He once tied to buy the Art Deco building that we were in, but it didn't work out.

Yeah, here it is:

I'm sure similar things happen in the burbs of Phoenix all the time.

Hadn't noticed Phil Everly's death, minor item in my collection. I must have some 400 CDs and some 300 LPs and a bit more. Classic rock, jazz, pop, Americana, and other stuff. Maybe 15,000 tracks in all. Some nice rarities in there as well.

A one liner sends you "speechifying", over the top. Flogging gratuitous ten-star words always impress me, Slowman. The pretend modesty of admitting you are not perfect is amusing. Why do you try so hard and so often to self stimulate your ego?

Couldn't you - just once - post a one-liner that made some kind of sense?

What's gratuitous about tendentious, obnoxious, aggressions and theraputic? They are polysyllabic, like lots of other useful words. Do you find it difficult to sound them out when you are trying to read them?

Nothing pretended there. If I was a little more nearly perfect I wouldn't bother responding to your dim trolling - there's definitely room for self-improvement there.

Interacting with creeps like you is more like self-flagellation. This sort of interaction definitely damages my image as any kind of sensible adult, not that that would mean anything to you.

You really are a legend in your own mind, Slowman.

Happily, I've got a mind of my own. Yours seems to be cobbled together out of random snippets you've found on the web, and have failed to assemble into anything like a coherent structure.

"If you are a "legend in your own mind", you strongly believe that you are great or awesome at something or everything, when in reality you are the only one who has that same opinion ( everyone else thinks you suck at it)."

I don't think that thinking "I'm better than Greegor - or krw" corresponds to "great or awesome". I'd place it at something closer to "doesn't stumble over his own feet".

| 1962 | I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I have watched shrimpers peel and eat shrimp freshly caught and I have a lot of customers that make ceviche (I consider that raw) but I don't eat shrimp raw. I don't eat oysters raw either, but I love them on the half shell with shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese, microwaved

4 minutes, then add lemon juice, and hot sauce. That is really good!!! One of our customers is an oyster bar, my wife often get's a half bag of oysters and we eat about 3 dozen oysters several evenings during the next week. We have had a shortage of oysters this year, Appalachacola had a die off. For a while the price tripled, it's now down to twice the price it was last year. They were $3.99 a dozen now they're $7.99.

But, thanks for thinking about my lunch. :-) Mikek

I like Ceviche but, like you, I don't like raw oysters, I like them Rockefeller or grilled.

Now my wife will go with me to a seafood place, I'll have fish of some sort, she'll have a dozen oysters on-the-half-shell as her entree... adding a baked potato and a salad to make it a complete meal. ...Jim Thompson

Raw oysters

Oysters Mosca

Fried oysters

Fried oyster po-boy

I think the Gulf oysters are the best, but then those are the ones I grew up eating.

There's a tacky pseudo-British pub in Pacifica that has fish-and-chips, with an option of fried oysters. Excellent.

The Feds are at war with the California oyster industry. Makes no sense.
