The Black Star album also came out on that day. I bought them both and skipped the rest of my classes for the day.

Anybody who lived in the DC area during the sniper saga got that drilled into them by every local news anchor. I was definitely yelling at him to zig-zag, duck-and-dodge, etc.

Here’s a posse cut I love. Bahamadia kills it as always. They all do, really. Now to go listen to some Heather B.

I can't speak to whether or not a cheese isn't technically feta unless it's Greek, but I can say that some of the best feta-like cheese I've had has been non-Greek. Specifically Bulgarian as kiisseli mentioned, as well as Hungarian and Lebanese.

MSG or tamari.

I believe the paste brand that Melba_Toast is speaking of is Cento, which has no ingredients other than anchovies, oil, and salt. I love anchovies as they are, but keep some of that paste on hand for when I only want a little and don't want to open an entire tin. If you try the paste in your cooking and find it…

Cento is the brand you're speaking of, yes? I like it a lot too.

From an old onion horoscope:

That's the part I wasn't sure about, and don't know enough about baseball to estimate with any confidence. If there are 10 billion possible ways a game can go, the probability of a match is 99%. If the number is 100 billion, the probability drops to 36%. At 1 trillion, it's 4%. So I guess that's the crucial question.

I think it is a near certainty that two baseball games have ended with the same structure of outs. It's like the birthday probability game in introductory statistics: the probability that any two people in a small population have the same (non-specified) birthday is much higher than that of any person in the same…

This is my understanding of the modern Coors beef:

Hello, fellow Mt. Pleasant native!

Thanks, I'll look into those.

That makes sense.. a little lemon with anchovies never did any harm. But yeah, it's precisely the "mustardy" flavor that Albert describes of the capers that just doesn't do it it for me.

I've tried to like capers, but I just can't make myself do it (I swear, as an anonymous internet guy, that I'm really not a weenie in most aspects of food-dom). I know you're a big fan of anchovies (as am I); how would you feel about replacing the capers with some chopped anchovies or anchovy paste as a source of…

Yeah.. had to give him his props on that one. I remember trying to get to the point where I could recite the whole song and gave up rather quickly. Also, I was glad (and not surprised) to see how he handled the "N" portion of the song.

Apparently shot in Mumbai? Dude at 0:32 is pissing directly on a "Delhi Metro" construction barrier. Also: I've spent a fair amount of time in both Delhi and Hyderabad recently, and this is most certainly a big problem in both of these places as well.

"Come holla at your folks if your test say non-reactive."

Well, Wittman seems to be a pretty good defensive coach, which is supported here by the percentage of late-clock shots forced in the above chart, and the fact that they rank 9th in the league in defensive efficiency. It also helps that Wall and Ariza are two of the better defenders for their positions, and Gortat is…

Often they have a set going and are mixing specifically chosen songs depending on the time of the night, BPM, crowd, etc. If you want music on demand and are going to get out of line when denied, don't go where a DJ is spinning vinyl records and doing a show.
