Example:

Curry is always a nice touch (I've been doing that since the 80's). Also, frying any additional spices in a little bit of oil really brings out the flavour (I should have been doing that all along as well, but only discovered how much of a difference it makes last year, and was reminded of it on Thanksgiving). Although you probably knew that.

Happy (belated?) birthday! (party favour noise)

Veggies. Doctor yelled at me last week, said I was prediabetic, so time to get back on the diet horse.

Killing Joke. I just hit play on Spotify, so whatever comes up. Currently: Love Like Blood. Egad, what a huge sound. And he tuned a whole step down! My man!

Aw, man, what a seminal sound. I still want an ES-295. That was always one of the things that turned me off about the common wisdom of hollowbody guitars -- he taught people that it wasn't just for jazz.

Hello fellow old people. Just to dogpile: It is a trick question, they are all ways to connect to a printer. In college, we used to play games with commands to make that printer scream, suffer, soil paper, jam, and eventually die.

Started watching the first episode of Squid Game: The Challenge (weird show) and I noticed they were playing this (just the two-note motif) during the Red Light/Green Light scene towards the end of the game, so of course now it's stuck there (in my mind, wherever it is). Would've been funnier if it was "Monkey's Gone to Heaven".

I totally agree with the points you're making -- everyone wants to see an end to this madness, cease-fire on both sides, living in peace and harmony, but no-one can envision how to get there from here. Especially when something like October 7 happens, which cannot be ignored. I applied for a job for a company in Israel right before October 7. I would like to ping them again, but I don't know how to even broach the subject of, "hey, are you all alright?" I'm afraid I might be turned into an anti-Hamas extremist, myself.

Google just suggested to me "hamburger soup" recipe on Preppy Kitchen, and there were links to "lasagna soup", "chicken pot pie soup", and "taco soup" -- is that what inspired you to try that?

Thank you so much for looking that up for me.

Re: John Oliver -- he's not entirely unbiased. He still does the same thing the rest of the liberal media (and Roger Waters) does to Israel in terms of expressing outrage over their actions. Oh, and I definitely disagree with him about children. I FUCKING HATE CHILDREN. I have had that protective instinct completely taught out of me BY CHILDREN who tried to drop things on my head while I was moving back in March and April. I hope those kids die, and soon.

Same. I stand with Israel, and that's all I'll say about it. We're going to have enough problems of our own if Trump wins the primaries. And different ones if he doesn't. over the next year.

Happy belated! (party favour noise)

Wait, the lyrics to "Danger Zone" were written by Giorgio Moroder?!?!?

Fingers and toes crossed for Iceland and Birgir and Björk and Sólstafir and Árstíðir and...well, just everyone.

Happy birthday, ryeman! Thank you for being part of my inspiration in my quest to the deliciousness of rye. (party favour noise)

Happy birthday, fisherman! (party favour noise) If a fish farts and there aren't any sonar technicians to hear it, does it make a sound?

I approve of the bean:everything else ratio.

Last night, the guy next to me texted a picture of dessert to his wife, and his wife texted back (and I quote): F U Just Stop. The offending picture was one of one of these:

"Three fifty and a biscuit" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

What about Savatage?

"Dream" == "goal" == "aim"
