This thread is stupid. I am actually a Catholic theologian who's a thesis shy of my MA in Sacred Scripture and since I don't come to this forum to discuss, let alone debate, religion, I don't have anything to say to people who want to gripe about religion or religious people. But as a Catholic theol...

I can handle gazelles being taken down by hungry hyenas, cows being strung up by their innards, even monkeys having their brains exposed but there's something about watching dogs (cats even) getting treated badly that is too much. Fucking kills me. It "fucking kills" me too. We bred these animals t...

Full fat, because I really just use it for cooking, and even then I usually use cream or half-n-half. You just can't make a decent quiche (my standard breakfast) without the fat. I never drank milk when I was a kid because I was allergic to it. I think drinking milk, eating cereal with it or putting...

I think its hilarious to see the video of Rock the Casbah with all the camo and especially Mick's "face cloth" thing, That's one of the few rock videos I have ever liked - most are just painful to watch. I'm rather proud to say I've been to the exact place that video was shot. It was on NASA Road i...

One of my favorite cooked veggie side dishes to make is braised leeks and raddachio. They are splendid indeed, and incredibly versatile. They're a bitch to clean though, like not-pre-washed spinach. That does get annoying. Alton Brown (I think it was him) did a show with leeks where he used them to ...

no way . mushy peas are horrible. Thank you. I am the Brit. Mushy peas are excellent with Fish & Chips. In fact, if we were not famous for our dish of Fish & Chips, we would be famous for our dish of Fish & Chips & Mushy Peas. Yep, uh huh, see? Peas aren't excellant with anything, i...

I love that guy, and I think he's kind of hot. Wry, snarky wit + knows how to enjoy food + a great five o'clock shadow = a serious turn-on. But I don't catch his show regularly. I can't even keep straight which channel it's on - either the Food Network or the Travel channel. I usually just catch it ...

Shit. I voted Not Crap, but sincerely meant to vote Crap. I do like fish, and so I hate LJS. It's that simple.

Being another "wee bit crazy" female musician, I can't bash her. A lot of her odd behavior actually makes a scary lot of sense to me, and I doubt I'd behave any better in the same situations. I'm just not as cute, so I wouldn't be able to get away with it like she has. I like her music OK, although ...

I like this album, although it was never a favorite. When I was a kid I really into Reckoning and Chronic Town. I was a huge REM fan back then, and some of the first stuff I learned on guitar were those early REM songs. I admit that with Fables I started to think REM was slipping, or at least becomi...
