son of the isolated blurts thread!

Haribo Gold-Bears were the brand I first tried over 35 years ago. A friend mailed them with some Swiss chocolate from Germany. They are still far better than the gummy-bear pretenders.
 
minxy: the mrs reserved the fat for roasting the potatoes. they were delightfully crispy but the duck flavor was a bit subtle. but yes, a caravan to ppl's sounds like an excellent idea!



blurt: the fucking night before/morning of my interview is so not the time for fucking insomnia. damn it!

We did that last time too. Yum yum on duck fat roasted potatoes. My son was given carte blanche for what he wanted for his and his best friend's birthday party dinner, tomorrow night. He wants potato soup. Just potato soup. Um. Easy but really? I'm at least going to bake bread bowls. I have standards ya know.

Go get 'em Ed. :rose:
 
I wonder what the message toll has been to Eilan's inbox since producing her accessorized AV.

I also wonder, in the short time it has been up, if a new breed of asshateous animal has been uncloaked, and unable to control itself, has typed the Dorito stains clear off their fingertips, sending out repeated PMs requesting she share pics of her 'cock', in flagrante delicto.

It's been surprisingly quiet.
 
Fingerpicking on banjo-mandolin is not easy.

Huh. You learn something new everyday. I was unaware that a banjo-mandolin existed. I had to go look it up. I have friends who play both of them, but not the combined version.
 
you know you've got a standing invite, doncha? :>

ed

Aw, yes! *fist pump*

Pick me up on the way, I will bring dessert.
Then we can pick up Ed and caravan over to ppl's house.

Since Ed's on board, when do we get started? ;)

Ed, did you guys save the fat for french fries? Mmmmm duck fat french fries

minxy: the mrs reserved the fat for roasting the potatoes. they were delightfully crispy but the duck flavor was a bit subtle.

Damn, ya'll! Now I'm salivating. I've never had duck, but now I want to try it, if only for the fat it will render!

That bites! I hope the interview went well!

Blurt: there's got to be an easier way to grate ginger. This effin microplane damn near took my skin with it.

Right? It wouldn't happen! (Psst, Em. Would you go back in and correct my typo so we can pretend that didn't happen either? K, thx! :eek:)

Sure, sure.

'Cause as ol' Bob Burns would say:

"the best laid plans o' mice an' men,
even micro ones,
gang aft agley."

I also have a banjo-uke, as well as wood-bodied mandolins and ukes. Was a banjo craze in the 1890s and onward and banjo heads were grafted onto all sorts of necks. And the Turkish Cümbüş company makes many banjo-lutes and even a banjo-dulcimer (altho that's not what they call it) (and I want one, to compete with my other dulcimers).

Still, probably easier than picking up a banjo after cutting off your fingers with one of those food mandolins, yes?
I removed a bit of fingerprints the first time I used one of those infernal devices.

Anyway, fingerpicking my banjo-mandolin is difficult is because mine, inherited from a progenitor, is short, heavy, and the string tension is painful. I know, I know -- use lighter strings. Yeah, one of these days. And watch for sharp blades.

you could try wearing gloves of some kind...



the interview morphed into interviews as one became 3 culminating in an interview with their COO. it was pretty fucking cool, to be honest. truth be told, i've always interviewed well. doing what i've been doing the past few years however has made me even better at it.

what's cooler: there's one more interview to be scheduled. and if you've already interviewed with the COO, that leaves only one person.

keep your fingers crossed for me, those so inclined!

I'll prepare the goat sacrifice.
 
Heads up, do NOT ask GBers to do this, including Miles or Pmann. It leads to bad things...

I think some are just too busy, with all the alt declarations, alt accusations, alts of alts, insult flinging, pissing in each other's ashtrays, lighting paper sacs of dogshit on poster's welcome mats, and the task of reducing most threads into a flame war.

There are some good folks there, and some decent, fun threads, but they get lost in all the noise and growing piles of shite some days.
