Hell, just a random walk through mine send me to bed where I get to explore foreign depths unplumbed. There are things in there that I completely forgot; some that have no connections to anything like "why did I shit my pants in 1st grade instead of raising my hand and telling the nun I needed to go" Was I scared of…

I bought a C64 sometime in 1984, an Amiga 1000 in 1987, an Amiga 1500 in 1989 and my first pc in 1999.

I have 2 boxes in my pantry - is it okay if I hate-eat them and not buy any more?

Your comment implies that you have read and researched the Koran - have you read the Koran? If you haven't then you would be better off to shut the fuck up; and if you have, you could link to the appropriate texts.

'Burt' I don't know what that thing is but it scares me.

Ooh, ooh - someone needs to spend 13 years researching the researchers background; I am sure something could be dug up that might make the story of his 13 years of research more complex (than I want a shot at a FOX paycheck) but probably not.

I prefer Greek Gods yogurt but then I'm a guy.

Back in the day, the best Dim Sum restaurant in Seattle had no English speakers so our local food critic had a bunch of cards printed up in Cantonese and Mandarin that essentially said "I would like what that older gentleman is having". I have not been there recently (it the King Cafe) so they might even have English…

A classmate did that back in the 60s - he accidentally shot a hole in his mattress (er, Montana) so he put it to good use.

You beat me to it - I bought this when I was 55 because how could I not.

Oooh - is this the next tinfoil-hat theory? Maybe this is the test market before they introduce them nation-wide. Almost viral marketing.

Back in days of UseNet New - alt.folklore.urban - the argument was always "shouldn't that be 'frequently ANSWERED questions'?" After 8 years, there was no definitive answer so it defaulted to 'asked' - mostly because no one cared about that particular question (and it was included in the FAQ).

I saw it too - from both sides, I was a rapper sword dancer and a tap dancer. She did not smile; that immediately works against tap and for clogging + she seldom moved her arms this is clogging; she did have some tap moves thrown in with arm moves and she even smiled during her tap moves (well, as close to a smile as…

I so love Mr. Gunn - I remember when he was on TV's Craig Ferguson almost every night - what a wonderful man and all around beautiful human.

Sidelong Glances of a Pigeon Kicker (I liked the book but love the title)! You wanna hear something even worse? Too bad, here it is: some idiot is thinking of bringing the passenger pigeon back from extinction! If you think city pigeons (rats with wings) are bad, think about a sky full of pigeons so numerous that they…

Freezing slows the growth of bacteria which is why they recommend not freezing for more than 6 months. Botulism is the 'feces' of the organism not the organism so something slowly producing a neurotoxin is still producing a neurotoxin. Food must be boiled for 10 minutes to kill botulism producing organisms; but that…

Not exactly. Any raw food that is stored in oil creates an anaerobic environment and that is where botulism is created. Since the garlic is raw, it has not been sterilized; it is the raw part that is worrisome. You won't necessarily die but you are more likely to die if you create such an environment. I lived with a…

Yeah, I know - 'people support me in email' - the term 'redskin' is racist; being anti-racist is not political correctness; other people holding onto similar racist ideation of what is or is not PC, does not mean what you think it means.

Thanks - that is what I was hoping for - maybe you will learn to stop using useless ideological

The term 'political correctness' is a corollary Godwin's Law - it is brought up whenever you are too stupid to add content to a conversation.
