Where's the debate? 8" chef's knife, well sharpened, for chopping. 4" parer for a lengthwise cut, which is the one that matters for mixing up a bloody mary. Which, I have to observe, is often mixed around here with a detestable amount of Old Bay. Please, folks, Old Bay goes great on crabs, but let's keep the bloodies pure.

Agreed. The Old Bay bloody is a sacrilege.

Stoli 100
V8 spicy
Durkee red hot sauce ot tobasco
lemon wedge
pepper to taste (fressh - large cracked kernels)

That's it - no funky shit.

I hate these bars that try to fuck with classics. If I want a twist with my bourbon, I'd have asked for it. Don't put a wedge of anything near the glass unless its requested or part of the conservative recipe for the drink.

They don't give a shit about accidents because it's not their car and they couldn't care less about it. They never blink first because they know you do care about their car. Fender benders are part of their job and they don't even get upset by them unless whoever gets out of their car is carrying a bat.

Note that this means you can knock their glasses off, so long as you are not carrying a bat.

OK, Sebby, I am gonna roll the dice on yuour recs with Jet, Jayhawks, the Eagles of Death Metal, and My Morning Jacket. Now tell me (anyone),m was Jane's Strays worth getting? and does anyone know A Perfect Circle? I am reading that Mer something is an amazing album.

Going with Sebastian on new music over me, PLF, Atticus, Aloha or any number of other people shows Kwame-esque judgment on your part. My Morning Jacket? Come on. Wait for a few others to weigh in or you'll wind up owning a whole bunch of mediocre Libertines CDs.

Interesting new music: Harder stuff -- Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, The Darkness(?), the Von Bondies. Mellower stuff: The Decemberists, Busted (if you like very catchy poppy "I think my girl is sleeping around on me" high school type songs), The Kills. But if you don't have them yet, get Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco, and Ok Computer, Kid A and Amnesiac by Radiohead. That's the foundation of music's modern era.

Kwame is an idiot for not taking her duties away completely. But their playing up his mistakes, so he will probably win so that we are all surprised.

I agree with this. I haven't watched the show a lot, but it's all seems to be in the editing. Mark Burnett produces this one too, and he uses the same technique in Survivor.

I also agree that Omarosa and Nick are plants to cause trouble so that Trump can see how Bill and Kwame handle it. Kwame is making a big mistake by not firing her - - that's a huge responsibility to just drop the ball on. That said, the previews seem to indicate that Bill will face his own troubles next week.

I have a question for someone who has watched more regularly than me. Does Bill always come across as such a prick? I mean seriously, I found it odd that the first thing he did was seek out the advice of the woman who ran the club and then got all indignant and complained when he said that she treated him like he didn't know anything. Again, I understand that this could have been editing, but why seek her advice, if you aren't interested in taking it. It made no sense to me.

I want to watch golf with you. The hushed voices and green grass make me want to go to sleep. I can't even imagine getting frustrated.

Actually, golf is very exciting in a close match. I would never have thought so ten years ago when I thought it was boring as hell. But I've seen some pretty amazing and exciting things on the course since then.

But that's not what I'm talking about. The frustrating thing is watching Tiger in interviews being so pig headed.

He didn't bend a fender. He almost dislocated my knee.

It's not really a Bloody Mary without a dash or two of worcestershire sauce and a good dollop of horseradish in it.

Oh, and people who take out doggy bags . . . should be beaten with heavy chains. . . . As to doggy bags, don't be such a cheap bastard. You probably aren't going to eat that cold shit when you get it home anyway, so give the poor waiter a break. He doesn't want to wrap your one sq. inch of glass noodles.

Reign it in, Sebby. I happen to have dogs, and they love my little treats from the restaurant (although I limit my doggie bags to leftover meat and/or bones).

The reason I am going with Sebby is that he and I tend to have almost the exact same taste in music. Here is a test- Sebby, what do you think of SOundgarden, Offspring and Kid Rock? What of Offspring's newest album?

The bands you list, str8 are all the hot darlings of the indie world that I read about on a lot of websites. I dont always go for that, especially if its all hyped- its all so Frankie, though I admittedly jhavent heard most of it. I only heard the Radiohead album with Creep on it and I returned the album bc I thought it boring. I would need to hear some of these bands you mention before buying them. Is ther a channel for this on my satellite music cable thing?

If Radiohead is the foundation of music's modern era I think I'm going to have to kill myself. Better yet, I can hunt down and kill Radiohead. Just put them out of the world's misery. It's a bunch of whiny self-indulgent derivative crap.

Your taste is in your fuckin mouth. If that list is the best you've got, you won't be in the entertainment business too long...

Bondies SUCK. They sound like Glenn Danzig or the Cult sped up. Don't agree? Find me a good review anywhere. They blew ass at SXSW - embarrassing crap.

Yankee Foxtrot? Yeh, its good. Its also very old news. Did you stop buying cds three years ago?

Franz Ferdinand is allright, but its gimicky new wave punk. The Libertines kick the shit out of it.

The Darkness?? You can't be fucking serious. Why not buy Tencious D? "What's wrong with being sexy?" If you take that band as anything more than product, you're too high to be posting. That cd will be a coaster in three months. They're a record insudtry pump and dump scam.

Oh, and as to Radiohead, do you assume Paigow has been in a cave on Mars for the last four years? I don't think I know anyone who doesn't own the three discs you list.

Were you with my brother last night? I got a drunken call at two in the morning from him, because at some point in the evening he lost his keys and couldn't get back into his apartment after he walked a mile and a half home. He ended up on my couch. Bastard didn't have to work today.

...and does anyone know A Perfect Circle? I am reading that Mer something is an amazing album.

It's the side project of Tool's lead singer Maynard, meaning I love them and Seb probably hates them. Mer de Noms is their first album. 13th Step is the newer one.

As for Courtney, just buy the Distillers "Coral Fang".

And now you do. Apparently, I dont listen to the radio much, everytime I go to a club, which is like never, I hear technocrap, and I dont hang out in bars that play this music apparently. As for Radiohead, that creep album was slow and boring as I recall it. are the rest of these albums like that bc if they are, no. I like to rock out. YOu know I love my Crowes, my RHCP (though not as much recently), Janes, Soundgarden, and the Dead. I have never been into euroey, new wave shit, and I eschew anything that sounds like it was made with synthesizers. Guitars and drums. Like that Dave Chappelle skit- White People Dancing.
