Rule .303 posted:

Wow, what country was enslaving children and gunning down labor organizers in the 50’s and 60's? Oh, right, Albania, sorry. I’m going to have to call foul on a third offense of a strawman argument: Only a sociopath or a narcissistic dictator with dreams of world conquest would be in favor of that.

Also please don’t attribute i shoot friendlies’s posts to me.

And if you really want to talk about my fantasies, they tend to include more Indonesian women than compliance with zoning ordinances, but it is a matter of taste, like the lady said when she kissed a cow.

Working conditions are always worth discussing, but I have yet to see passing laws, regulations and policy statements actually make things better. They are more likely to drive companies out of business and, “shrink the universe of available jobs” (as I believe the Department of Commerce so carefully puts it).
Actually, I thought I said that I thought that Mother Jones thought it was worthy of discussing because it was a non-union shop, and any stick works to beat that dog.

Do we want to continue this here? I’d rather make fun of Happy Hat and his struggles with the English Language


Hey, We like you. You don't have to troll to be cool. What's your favorite recipe for stew? I like to make chicken stew from the pre-roasted chickens that go on sale around 2AM.

I buy those and cook the carcass down with a pressure cooker, but I add in a tablespoon of vinegar to cook out the marrow and the collagen from the bones. I run it through a strainer and pick out the meat to add back in later. It sounds goulish, but when you do this you wind up with stock that wobbles like jello in the fridge.

I add celery and carrots and onions as a sort of garni that gets strained out with the bones, and add more veggies when I add the meat back in with potatoes. It is a great use for the back, wings, and the ever famous "chicken butt".

I'll be doing this next month with a friend who wants help learning to use her pressure cooker. (last month we made gedamptefleish with apricots in a pressure cooker 'cause her gramma used to make it)

I overheard a conversation this weekend between a morbidly obese woman and her friend who literally looked like she fell off the set of trailer park boys (which isn't even that bad really) where the obese woman was wowing her friend by saying something along the lines of 'yeah, me and my husband are REALLY adventurous with our food, we like the spicy things like mexican food, and we try a lot of cold appetizers, and lots of HERBS!! oh but things like duck... EWWWWwwwwWWw its so oily and tastes off' and I was suddenly reminded that most people don't actually care about food at all and are completely ridiculous and that gently caress this gay earth shoot self blguhhhh

Tanzan and Ekido were once travelling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was still falling.

Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection.

"Come on, girl," said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.

Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he no longer could restrain himself. "We monks don't do near females," he told Tanzan, "especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?"

"I left the girl there," said Tanzan. "Are you still carrying her?"

That's the way I was leaning, but hey, maybe I'm just missing something. On the one hand I see that laws and regulations have ended slavery, ended child labour, prevented violence against labour organisers, and so on. On the other hand we have Rule .303's fantasy scenario in which it turns out laws and regulations can be kinda inconvenient.

I must be missing something. Being opposed to slavery is probably a strawman or something.

A friend of mine in Bavaria gave me a cookbook from the Palatine region and it's of that style. Basically boil half a rasher of skin-on bacon, cube, grind with onions and garlic, add salt, nutmeg, white pepper, coriander, allspice, etc. Combine with a few pints of pigs blood. Stuff, boil, store.

Being my first sausage endeavor, some of mine were overfilled and popped, but 75% of them remained intact. Got some dark rye bread in the oven right now and will try with that for breakfast tomorrow.

rice is if you're making boudin noir, IIRC. Blood will congeal when heated either way so its moot. The ground pork belly with the onions and blood makes for a mostly solid stuffing material anyway.

Ground oats is what we use to add structure to the blood sausage. I hear barley, either flour or pearl, works too.

Soondae uses noodles. I don't think I've seen any blood sausage without some kind of grain product included. I like blood pudding but not chunks of straight-up congealed blood, and I imagine that's fairly common given the nigh-universality of grain-bound blood sausage and the rarity of pure blood chunks in world cuisine.

I think my nan used rolled oats for her blood saussage, I remember the taste, it was good, irony, sweet - and I hated it after the second bite.. but the first bite, oh that loving first bite was heaven!

Curdled blood is big in South-East Asia and China ("red tofu"), so by total volume eaten I'd say it's a big chunk (heh) of the total world consumption.

Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.
Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

Yeah, I don't give a poo poo about debating in here, but your use of Zen koans in response is loving irritating.

Mostly because I was raised Buddhist by my grandma when I was a kid, and using these stories as meta-debate commentary instead of making a legitimate point is stupid.

The cup argument is clearly invalid....

A cup cannot be full of opinions and speculations, it is a cup! It can be filled with air, and then it can be filled with a cup shaped liquid. I think what you're doing is an antropomorphisism. Next thing is that the cutesy cup will dance around and assist in the marriage of perfectly fine young women to hairy beasts.

I see your confusion; let me clear things up. Japan has a long history of talking, intelligent, living cups. For most of Japan's history, the cup race, or Koppu people, have been enslaved and forced to work in gruelling conditions, risking their lips and handles every day. But then came America and the atom bomb; radioactive particles killed off the entire Koppu race, and overnight Japan had to retool their economy. While most of Japan has forgotten this sordid past, Zen koans refer to the truth, although most people dismiss it as fantasy.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

I had to go to a Ducks Unlimited banquet this past Saturday for work. The booze was free, and the steak was actually really good. I sat across from my old boss at the grocery store I worked at in high school. S.O.B. actually put ketchup. On. His. Steak. I have heard people bitching about it in GWS forever, I just never encountered it in the wild.

On the bright side, my boss and I entered our free raffle tickets. We put his auction bid number on all of them to save me writing my name on 20 tickets, and wouldn't you know it, he was the first one called. He had his choice of six guns. Long story short, while he was filling out his NICS paperwork, his number was called again! He went home with a Mossberg lever action 30-30 and I took home a Remington 870. Aside from watching a man eat a well-done steak with ketchup, an excellent night.
