wake me up when it's February 2009. |

Smoking and being overweight both reduce the probability of fertilized eggs implanting. Soon we will be able to slap attempted murder charges on any sexually active woman who is overweight or who smokes. You have to look for the silver lining in these things. |
Isn't it just as simple as apathy and ignorance? When most people simply care about their own lives and only perk up when something threatens their comfort, and when the media does them no help with 24 hour news cycles covering gaffes and perceptions instead of issues and policy details - and scandals last days unless they are 'sexy' - what else do you expect? If there's nobody watching the store, people will steal from it. |
|
Rowlfe, I think the problem is even more deeply engrained. These kooks were elected, which means that a constituency somewhere actively likes them, and supports their policy decisions. It's not just apathy, it's conscious choice, and that scares me way more. |
|
people don't understand issues. they side with someone the way they side with a cast away on survivor. they choose on minimal information, and rarely are minds changed once they are made. it doesn't matter if we uncorrupt our voting machines when the TV tells us what is important and who we should vote for. |
I suppose John Kerry was anti-woman and anti-black for running against Carol Mosely-Braun. Yep, while I can definitely admit there are many attracted to Obama based on personality politics, Hillary and for that matter McCain, certainly have their own core keeping them afloat with bullshit that has nothing to do with anything. I personally have friends who are simply mad that a black man could be president before a woman, and for that matter, I've seen on many message boards angry Jewish people mad that they will also have to wait. Tribal bullshit. |

i saw someone yesterday with a tee shirt on that said How bad does it have to get before YOU do something? granted, it was a Ron Paul in 09 tee shirt. but still. |

"It's pernicious," said Janet Crepps, an attorney with the Center for Reproductive Rights. |
Rowlfe- yes. It's complete laziness and apathy. |
|
|
you know, the more i think about this new draft regulation on birth control, the more i can't help but be completely flabbergasted by its sheer stupidity. |
first stop carolina last stop france seriously....this shit has gotten out of control. im pretty hopeless about this place. everyday theres something that happens that reaffirms this reducing my options to simply leaving this shit hole. fuckin a |

i second that, brotha. |

Since (Deng Xiaoping's) (GWB AND OUR WONDERFULLY INEPT CONGRESSIONAL ) economic reforms in the 1980's, the gap between (CCP)(CONSERVATIVE RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN RELIGOUS) ideology and reality has only been widening. The (CCP)(US GOVT) has evolved into a party of elite interest groups, confronting a crisis of legitimacy in the face of increasing social ills: corruption, lawlessness, economic disparity, unemployment, a floating population, lack of social welfare and healthcare, environmental disasters, and above all, a growing discontented population that is from almost all walks of life. SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE US UNDER GWB AND AN EQUALLY IDOTIC CONGRESS. |
..... Maybe tonight I'll sit by the river and The Lord will come and talk with me. Or maybe tonight some beasts from Mars will glory me away in a flying machine, Or maybe St. Peter in his craft will pluck me from this earth and fill me with Heaven. Then I will know The Lord has seen me all along, and sees me wandering now, Numb and gaping, body stopped and stranded, desperately looking to the skies. ....... Mark, you touch more lives than you will ever know,man. Keep it up. |
i also found that there's a legitimate reason to put an egg in your beer: eggs contain cysteine, a substance that can break down acetaldehyde in the liver and thus help prevent a hangover. some people put a raw egg in the beer, some a pickled one. i picked up two six packs of blue marble organic pilsner today. the guy selling it said that if i liked ipa (india pale ale), then i'd liked this. i do like ipa. and the blue marble was on sale. maybe i'll try putting an egg in one of them. danielssss, you touch more lives than you will ever know, man. keep it up. the real place i got the idea for putting eggshells in acidic liquids: a-1 pick-me-up 1 pint dark rum 1 lb rock candy 1 doz eggs 1 doz lemons squeeze the lemon juice into a crock pot; add the eggs broken in their shells. cover with a damp cloth and allow to stand for several days. the shells will dissolve. when ready, strain through a cheesecloth into another pot. combine the rum and rock candy in a saucepan; boil with a quart of water until smooth. combine with the egg mixture and bottle for future use. |
have you had dogfish head's 90 minute IPA, droop? |
|
in austin for the past few years there's a dogfish head festival. have you had the raison d'etre? it's better than cheesecake for dessert. or the shelton? damn. |
|
daniel, we're coming to st. louis for labor day weekend - so senor's mom can meet her granddaughter. will you be around? |
i have tried dogfish - in austin, as a matter of fact - but i don't remember what type it was. by the way, blue marble pilsner is only just ok. even without an egg in it. |
i'm not a fan of belgian-style yeasts or fruit in beer, as a general rule. there are some exceptions. russian river brewing co is now bottling pliny the elder. another fantastic IPA. |
i could do the recipe, i just don't understand what you get out of it. some sort of foul tasting but calcium rich tincture? it wouldn't have any alcohol in it, right? what's the point? |
Sarah, I will be here in the great midwaste, but there's an invitation to Evansville IN on the table for the weekend. I am strongly averse going anywhere driving on holiday weekends. SO likely will be here. And would surely like to catch up with you and yours, meet senor and your little one. lemme know. betnomore at gmail and the cell # is still the same |
