Too much guava paste and cheese. :eek:

Guava Pie

INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
Pastry for a 9-inch 2-crust pie
4 cups Florida guava, peeled, seeded and sliced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut in small pieces

PREPARATION:
Mix together the flour, sugar, and salt; set aside. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry; fill with sliced guava, slightly mounding in the center. Sprinkle the flour and sugar mixture evenly over the guavas.

Sprinkle with the lemon juice and dot with butter. Cover with the top pastry and flute edge. Cut several vents into top crust to let steam escape. Bake in a preheated 450° oven for 10 minutes, then reduce to 350° and bake 30 to 40 minutes longer.

People who think Pi = 3 are all Nazis and/or Hitler.
Whenever my Mum bakes pie, she always makes 3. Are you calling my Mum Hitler?

dude, if you bring up the nazis in an argument, you automaticly lose the argument, its one of the internet stone carved rules,

anyways, pie is 3.14, and anyone one who disagrees, well, good luck educating your kids, im sure they will do well on the work market,

No stone in cyberspace ... just ... um ... cyber and space. Lots of space. (A rather large amount of Cyber, too, now that I come to think of it.)

So by the above accusations, maybe you're just a fascist or a Mussolini apologist or something, since you don't think it's 3, but it's not yet, you know, pi.

Is there a Godwin lite rule? Bringing up or accusations of fascists means the argument goes to a draw?

In the spirit of our new title, I suppose someone should post a recipe... so here goes-- this recipe should cleanse the body wholly, even going so far as to remove all cravings, and possibly signs of life.


1 cup Gasoline
1 cup bleach
2 tbls Borax
3 tsp Starbucks coffee
1/2 cup antifreeze for colour (Adjust to your tastes)
2 green olives, pitted.

Strain above ingredients through used jock-strap into bedpan. Place pan in microwave and heat on high for 2 minutes while staring intently. Repeat all steps until you don't survive the blast.

Ok, it's obviously time to start a story-o-round. Here's the basic idea, I'll start a story, and stop in the middle of a sentence. The next guy picks up in the middle of that sentence and continues for a while, again, ending in the middle of a sentence. Let's see what happens to our protagonist:


Mercilessly, the sun splintered through the cracked mini-blinds peircing the thin eyelids of Jasper Milton as he lay waking from a half-night's slumber, if you could really call it that. He hadn't had a decent night's sleep in weeks. He slowly rolled out of the bed, and headed for the bathroom. Wincing as the light from above the mirror tried to blind him, he began his morning rituals. Having finished answering nature's call, he quickly washed his hands and brushed his teeth, remembering the voice of his dental hygenist lecturing him about proper mouth-care.

Jasper stared at the haggard face of the man in the mirror. This was a man who obviously needed a shave. He tested his hypothesis by stroking his own cheek and listening to the scratching noises made when he went against the grain. His face brightened, "Ahhh, this will be a good shave," he thought to himself as he reached for his weapons of choice. He looked at his arsenal, and decided that today he would perform his de-fleecing with the rather unorthodox method of shaving with

his 10 inch Bowie knife which he liked to hone to a razor's edge on his 8,000 grit Norton. Honing the knife was a well enjoyed outlet for his obsessive compulsive disorder which seemed to have gotten worse after his honorable discharge from 20 years of service with the Navy Seals. "Man, this is a far cry from the mountains of Afghanistan," thought Jasper as he whipped up a nice creamy lather of 1805 with his SR 3124. Even though he was now able to enjoy some of the finer things in life, Jasper missed the excitement of covert ops with the Seals. Perhaps thats why he liked shaving with the Bowie knife on occassion. It offered a little excitement over the usual DE or straight. Mid-stroke on the final AGT pass, Jasper hears a window break........

after posting, I went to check my post count...ahhhh, 160....what the hey? 1694?!?!?!

so I did a search, and Waldo wondered home...we knew he was at the Olympics watching beach volleyball, so it took him awhile to get back

the whole point of this post is the fact that, originally started to make 1600, 6 posts later I'm making 1700....only on B&B can math be irrational, and illogical :biggrin1:

Anybody else noticing the topics and conversations are waning here as we start the new school and fiscal year? Man, just a few weeks ago every 10 mins. or so there was a whole round of new threads and posts to enjoy. I guess everybody is busy now and the lazy days of summer are over.

So this is the anything thread. Anything that amuses, strikes you, peeves you, inspires you, gets your motor running or not throw it out there. Anything under the sun is acceptable (keeping w/in B&B terms of course) except politics and the upcoming election. There are already like six threads on that, and I'm staying away from them all both for personal and professional reasons. Other than that please participate because I'm bored out of my skull and you's all are supposed to keep me entertained! So, to kick things off:

A rant :incazzato: I just got a call from my wife about how funny my daughters' car is driving today. Turns out she had two flats recently (a sub-rant w/in the overall rant as this car is less than one year old and already w/ the freakin' flats!). Apparently she went to a fly-by-night outfit and bought two different sized used tires to replace them. So she's driving around w/ three sized tires on the thing like some kind of funny car. I'll be lucky if the alignment is all that's hosed. AAARRRGGHHH!!!

A smile :001_smile: Every night when I get home it's a battle between the three year old and the dog who is happier to see me. Either way, I'm a winner.

Satisfaction :biggrin1:: A great shave this morning using TOBS Eton College (thanks Shawn). I've been faceturbating all day long.

Happiness :cornut:: Regular season NFL kicks off next week.

Sadness :crying:: No more HBO's Inside the NFL.

That's good for now. Next.

Football season
Waiting for football season

The Gods have helped me make it to football season. Every phone call and every conversation has gone to football.

I hate it when youre at the mall and you see clothes shops with a sale on - but instead of the actual clothes in the shop windows, there are shirts with 'SALE' on them. How the hell am I meant to know what clothes they have if they use all the window space telling me about the sale, and the manequins are wearing clothes that say 'SALE', rather than real products.

(Rant Mode ON.)

I'm really pissed at my boss.

I have to work 4 hours, half a shift, on Labor Day, plus I get 8 hours of Holiday Pay. I asked him if I could just take Monday off, and he said NO.

I have a really long drive to get to work. About 2.5 hours round-trip, plus it costs me around $10/day in gasoline, plus Starbucks coffee on the way, plus I need cigarettes to get me through the day, etc. On a 4-hour shift, I will probably be losing money, instead of making it ... plus I have to bust my ass working.

So I just wanted to stay home, get a 3-day weekend out of it, get my 8-hours of Holiday Pay, and draw a normal pay-check.

But, Nooooooo ... he insists that I drive 2.5 hours, just to work a 4-hour shift and fork out $10 for gas and lunch and so forth. .. he says he really needs me there. BULL!! There are around 8 of us on this crew, and if one person doesn't show up, the job still gets done.

On top of that, my favorite nightclub is throwing their biggest party of the year Sunday night, and I wanted to go out and have a good time drinking and dancing right up to closing time at 2am. BUT ... I have to leave for work at 3am. So not only am I getting screwed money-wise by having to work on Monday, it puts a damper on my whole weekend.

If that's not bad enough ... the company is sponsoring a Stress Management Class next Thursday, and I wanted to attend. The boss said NO. Nobody from our crew is allowed to go. (The company sponsors a lot of classes, and we get brownie points for attending, which count towards promotion.)

My boss is a mean, mean man. A very mean man. If I had magic powers like that creepy little kid (Billy Mumy) on Twilight Zone, I'd wish him into the cornfield right now.

Football in America is in-escapable. Period. It comes up in every conversation and when you're the antithesis of the average fan, well, it leaves many conversations lacking. It also doesn't help when your entire office freaks out because it's Football Season, BABY! :lol: To add to it, I live on the Cheddar Curtain's western perimeter and work just west of the official border in Minnesota. So now not only is every conversation in the office swirling around football, but toss in a little (read: a lot) Minnesota Vikings/Green Bay Packers rivalry. :rolleyes: It's exhausting! :lol:

Wanna hear something strange? Last week I bought a new Nalgene bottle with a flip top and as a result of really liking the bottle, I've been consistantly drinking between 60-80oz. of water a day. The strange part is that I feel noticeably dehydrated, but my mind feels sharper here at work.

When my ship would pull into France back during my Navy days there were several street vendors who sold what we called a smashed sandwich, both because how it was made and because we generally purchased them after a good drunk. Essentially they grilled up thin pieces of some kind of steak meat with onions, peppers and oil. At the same time they deep fried a batch of steak fries. The fries and steak were stuffed in a length of french bread with some fromage. Then the whole thing was smashed flat and cooked in a waffle iron until crispy. My God that was one good sandwich. No soup, but it's such a great memory thought I'd share.

If you think that's bad, you should go to "The last great president" thread. More of the usual suspects saying the usual things. It makes me wonder why they're even here.

Friday, June 27th 2008. One of the greatest days in American Legal history!

"The Supreme Court struck down the District of Columbia's ban on handgun possession yesterday and decided for the first time in the nation's history that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual's right to own a gun for self-defense." Quoted from the Washington Post.

The debate is officially over. It is not a collective right to own a firearm, it is an individual's right! What was the response of the media and all political parties to this ruling? A deafening silence! It is just so sad.

With the new Hellboy movie coming out soon, I decided to order up the first one from Netflix to give it a second look. I gotta say after watching it again, why did they make a part two? Part one was a pretty bad movie. In that same vane why are they making so many movies based on comic books? The new Batman aside, most of these movies are pretty horendous, no?

Just watched the first episode of Mad Men Season 1.

Another awesome TV series that sucked me in within the first 5 minutes!

Fairly obvious from your avatar and tagline you're a Seinfeld aficionado. Me too. All nine seasons on DVD were stolen from me during a burglary last year. Made me sick to lose them. That and Scrubs. I love those two series. At least they left me with MASH (first three seasons only-it went down hill after that IMO).

I think I'm going to hit Sprouts Market after work today. I hear they have KMF shave cream and a few other shave related products. Aubrey AS??? I want to try Whole Foods also based on a thread somewhere around here, but the nearest one is a bit of a drive. Someday I'll get there.

You have my most sincere sympathy. That really sucks.


On a brighter note,

"Kramer, Kramer, wait a minute. Do you still have that pricing gun?"

"Yeah..."

"Ok. I need you to help me put Puta Mayo out of business."

"Can do."

"Hi, uh...I'm A. G. Pennypacker. A wealthy American industrialist looking to open a silver mine in the mountains of Peru and before I invest millions in a lucrative mine I'd like to go a little native, ah, and get the feel of their condiments, their unmentionables, you know, the real ah, gritty gritty."

"Well...let me show you what we have."

"Oh no. I think I can just browse around on my own. Mmm. Machu Pichu. Are these free?"

:wink:

One of TV's classic comedic sidekick characters. Maybe the best ever. Too bad he went 'round the bend at a comedy club and got busted being a loony racist via cellphone camera. I still love watching him though. Giddeeyup!

EDIT: OMG it's hit four pages. I might have a best seller on my hands. Quick somebody notify Dom.

I'm done with summer. It's almost September and it's in the 80s here in Virginia. Come on autumn.

Definitely. I'm in Boston and we get some lovely humid days that are just awesome. I'll take it even further and say that I can't wait for winter to hit.

Good afternoon Shane, nice to see you today. Are you on the coast or inland? I was stationed in Norfolk back in the day. Va Beach-gotta love it. We've had monsoons here lately so that keeps the temps down a bit, but they're saying 115 for next week. I can only say ugghh to that.

I did Boston in winter one weekend. B-I-T-T-E-R cold B-B-B-a-b-y! That was one great city to visit though. I'll give you that.

I'm in Northern Virginia, 30 miles from Washington, D.C. I'm on the Potomac River.

As for Norfolk, that's quite a haul from me. Been there a few times. The Hampton Roads-Virginia Beach area has good people.

I've been to DC a handful of times both for business and tourism. It's a regal city. I like visiting. And No. Va. is beautiful as well.

Well folks. I'm about out of time. Think I'll go swimming with the little one and then hit Sprouts (as mentioned earlier). And remember Democrat or Republican, Liberal or Conservative, Soap guy or Cream guy, we're all in it together so let's do what we can to make it all a better place. Happy Sunday to one and all.

Agreed. I was there in April for a business trip. :thumbsup:
