I don't know the brand -- if you're serious, I'll find out for you.


*His mother is also a die-hard, old-fashiond-method cook (and a good one at that!). We were staying at my in-laws vacation apartment, and the babysitter/housekeeper was looking for the coffee maker -- and when I showed her the "old sock" coffee drainer apparatus (that was all the rage 75 years ago...), she nearly fell over. She tried to hide her shock by saying, "Oh, that's the really ancient method" (bad translation -- it sounded less condescending in her native language).
dtb asking Grinch about his shit. Like he doesnt talk about it enough without being prompted. Just, no.

Just send me a PM with your picks by Sunday night. 9 of the picks can be any celebrity you like, the tenth has to meet the wild card rules (see the separate thread here for all of those). If you are picking a wild card that is questionable (might or might not be accepted due to "life experience"), you might want to send me an alternate choice as well just in case.

American Idol gossip
 
"American Idol" hopeful Donnie Williams was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Monday after he allegedly whizzed past a marked police car on Interstate 680 at 100 mph (in his Ford Taurus). The 20-year-old Livermore resident told police he was returning from a party his friends threw him in Pittsburg on Sunday, celebrating that he made the latest cut on the popular television show.


If you watched the Idol last night, you'll see that Donnie's face was not on the list of contestants for next week. He's already been replaced - but I can't remember group 4 well enough to know who is the new person.

Quote:

He was cooperative when he pulled over near the Bollinger Canyon Road exit, but after his arrest told officers, "You're ruining my life!" according to police. Police would not release William's blood alcohol level, but said it was over the legal limit although not enough for him to be jailed. In Danville, drunken driving suspects are booked into jail when their blood alcohol content measures at least twice the legal limit of .08.

In that case, have you heard that the current Governor of Texas (alas, not his predecessor) might or might not have been caught by his wife in bed with the current Secretary of State of Texas (male)?

Absolutely. And yet because I've been slammed not once, but twice, I have to respond.

I didn't buy the ten pound bag of Uncle Ben's, but I wasn't about to throw it out. Starving children in Africa and all that. It does taste a little weird. And it takes longer to cook. That being said, long grain rice is long grain rice.

And about the electric stove: sometimes, one has to make choices. Any way I look at it (and I've looked at it a lot, from installing a propane system and stove to moving to a different part of the city), me getting a gas range is going to cost me at least $15,000. Buying a house with gas instead of the one I picked would have put me back at least $80k (for multiple reasons not directly related to the availablity of gas lines). Sometimes, an electric stove and a heat pump just have to do.

There was an old man from Detroit
Japanese poetic forms he tried to exploit
He gave his lines an extra word
With results quite absurd
And it was all tired and unfunny anyway.

Rosie O'Donnell is fat
 
O'Donnell to get married in S.F.
Ex-talk host says Bush's call for same-sex ban prompted decision

So now we can blame W for bringing Rosie's fat ass into town.

SAN FRANCISCO - Rosie O’Donnell flew across the country Thursday to marry her longtime girlfriend in the city where more than 3,300 other same-sex couples have tied the knot since Feb. 12. The couple traveled to San Francisco from New York on Thursday morning. They have a 1 p.m. PT appointment to pick up a marriage license.

Earlier Thursday, O’Donnell announced her wedding plans on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” just two days after President Bush called for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
“I find this proposed amendment very, very, very, very shocking. And immoral.

Maybe just one too many verys in there. You can tell she's been talking to the kiddies a little too much recently.

The way I see it is that if you can't cook as good a meal on an electric stove as a gas stove, then you shouldn't be talking about cooking. It's heat. Cavemen got by for years without a Viking too.

Sounds nice sockie mcsock, but when I go to a so-called “ethnic store”, as a white-bread toast boy I find it tres intimidating. I look around and see stuff that looks like oyster sauce, but the words on the label look something like this:

http://www.pitt.edu/~kloman/chinesename3.jpg

Which for all I know could mean paigow spunk!!!

I.E, I no cannot read it so good. And the price of a full-time shopping translator is too rich for my blood. Not to mention that most of us busy lawyer type persons have no time after work to go carousing here or there to find one of these mythical “ethnic stores”.

Also, apropos of the original Uncle Ben reference, ethnic rice has a bad ass reputation. It can take a very long time to cook, and based on experience it’s quite e-z to wreck and then you end up with a pan of gloop.

I’m more partial just using plain old Uncle Ben’s or Minute Rice, the five-minute versions and flavoring them with some good old boy seasonings and spices and beans and stuff. BAM! Also, at Costcos or Uncle Sam’s Club, you can buy the stuff in bulky boxes, although not a five year supply of instant rice but maybe like 100 kilos. My mom always told me buy in bulk , especially all of the nonperishable stuff. Stock up from the cheapest source possible for a rainy day as those ethnic stores are a pain in the ass to get to when you really have a hunkering for some rice.

Anyway, that’s my .02. Opinions?

Delicious looking antitrust case as long as you can find a plaintiff. Maybe DOJ files, then it's easy to cut and paste into a complaint.

However, broadcast radio is about to become as irrelevant as broadcast TV. Now that subscription only/commercial free satellite is available in every car, Howard Stern is virtually guaranteed to jump to XM, broadcast radio will be as irrelevant as the CB radio.

Can't take it back
 
Poll:

How many people have left voice messages or e-mails for someone else that could potentially change the entire relationship? Was it a good idea in retrospect?

my answer: Yesterday, I laid out in e-mail what I couldn't articulate on Saturday night. Stomach clenched for the rest of the day until I got a reply, which helped things considerably. Six years ago, I drunkenly e-mailed the words "I love you" to someone. Big mistake, partially because that act led to a relationship, and partially because I didn't mean it.

Alternate poll question:

Does anyone know of a long distance relationship that's worked?

my answer: Several, but the key to each was that the long distance was understood by both parties to be a temporary thing. Two I know of right now are in the "prepare to move closer to one another but haven't done it yet" stage. (Immigration is a pain in the ass.) I've been in one, and it was a very bad idea.

Just curious....

Back to gossip
 
Courtney Love has been having some serious wardrobe malfunctions. The troubled rocker performed recently at the Viper Room in Los Angeles, and a source says she repeatedly flashed her breasts at the audience. “Her dress had all these holes cut in it and she exposed her boobs several times,” says a source, who adds that the Janet Jackson moments “certainly seemed to be on purpose.”
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4287278/

Someone should ask her how that custody case is coming along.
