egullet
I love winding the people up on egullet, egullet for those who dont know is a worldwide cooking/restaurant/foodie forum, they are by far the cutest bunch of nieve pricks that i have ever encountered.
I very occasionl post in the vancouver forum, and recently i had a post deleted from a thread intitled " Truth be told: Where've you eaten lately? ",
as i contained the following line " hmmmmmmmm i love eating out eh "
the following is a message from some bald guy who gets very wound up about those very words
" Transfattyacid,
I've just deleted your re-post.
The issue with your post is the "eating out" line - I think that's pretty obvious by now. Had this recent post been your first post, I may have let it go. But as this is your second post, with the same message I asked you to remove the first time, the end result is the same.
I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here. I may not have explained myself well last PM. The choice is yours.
Please PM me if you need any clarification.
Thanks,
Arne

me and the missis had dinner here last week , after loads of hype from my work mates and seeing that you lot kinda like the place too , i thought we`d give it a go .
i think i must be missing the point . i found it pretty pedestrian . maybe we didn`t order the right stuff , if thats the case then whats it doing on the menu. and the service , well gee i thought we must have insulted them somehow to achieve the level that we recieved .
but having said that we did order a plate of anchovy beef on my work mates instructions, which i would discribe as a medium light to the meal .
the anchovy beef did end up providing the nights entertainment tho` . after the server tried to put us off ordering it . but it proved too much for wifee as she kinda stopped eating after a few tastes. i inquired as to why? as i was enjoying the raw beef that had been rendered a pale pink from lime juice and pounded with anchovy fillets. and cut to flat and fleshy strips. " i`ll tell you later " she replied .

The Marijuana Conspiracy
The words "Marijuana" & "Conspiracy" go hand in hand.
Smoke some marijuana and pretty soon you end up talking about some conspiracy theory maaan.
but aside from that stereotypical analogy there does seem to be a worthy story behind this, read from the page linked below, to find out about the reasons behind marijuana`s illegality

RingTones
In the good ol`days, the reason for phone`s "ringing" was so you could here the damn thing from any where in the house. i`ve never really understood why cell / mobile phones should also have to ring. as they are by definition always close to you and, with all the noise pollution in the world these days why add more to the cacophony ?. In the light of what humankind is capable of, can`t we figure out some thing less annoying than the RINGTONE!.
how did this happen ?
why as an evolved civilization do why need the ringtone ?
if you share my views on this matter you will find this link very special indeed. if you dont then fuck you, you need to know how annoying they are to millions of people

Pot Noodle makes you impotent
No. It`s the lager ! .
Pot Noodle, for those of you who remain blissfully unaware of this English delicacy, is probably the single most disgusting thing you can ever dream of having to eat. It`s normally consumed by lager fuelled students and those who simply don`t know any better.
British tv adverts, for those of you who arn`t bombarded with them daily, are very funny.

Really Crap Joke
Count Dracula is out "on the pull" in Glasgow.
He spends the night drinking Bloody Marys in various clubs and biting on
unsuspecting women's necks.
He is heading for home, wandering along Argyle street sometime before
sunrise.
Suddenly he is hit on the back of the head. He looks round and sees
nothing. He looks down and sees a small sausage roll. Mmm, he thinks.
What's going on here.
A few yards further on and ........Bang ! He's smacked on the back of the
head again! He whirls round as quick as he can - nothing. Again he looks
down and there is a small triangular sandwich lying on the ground. How
odd!
A few yards further along the street and........Crash! He's smacked on the
back of the head again!! He whirls round as quick as he can - nothing.
He's getting really angry now. Again he looks down and there is a cocktail
sausage lying on the ground.
He stands and peers into the darkness of the night. Nothing.
He walks a few yards further on when he gets a tap on the shoulder.
With a swirl of his cape and a cloud of mist he turns as fast as he can.
He feels a sharp pain in his heart. He falls to the ground clutching his
chest, which is punctured by a small cocktail stick laden with a chunk of
cheese and a pickled onion.
On the ground dying, he looks up and sees an attractive young female. With
his dying breath he gasps, "Who the hell are you ?"
"Hi, I'm BUFFET, the vampire slayer !"

Japanese robo-cat
Remember the rubbish animatronic cat in
Sabrina the Teenage Witch? Well, the one in
this advert is from Japan, even less life-

Creepy Pet Video
you will need quicktime for this one
Squirrel nutter
Demented Dolly Parton-lookalike Kelly Foxton
has an unhealthy relationship
with her pet squirrel "Sugar Bush". She dresses
him up in all kinds of stupid outfits - like
Beatrix Potter for white trash. What makes
this site especially disturbing is the stab
at topicality, with tributes to 911, the
war in Iraq and Tsunami victims.

Election Results
Its kinda weird living abroad when there is a general election back home. Not that it makes me feel disenfranchised, i leave that to important stuff like Muller fruit corners and Marks and Spencer underwear.
The smart people amongst you could be able to tell that i`m not that bothered about politics. I couldn`t even tell you the name of Tony Blair`s opponent, this time or 2000-and-whatevers.
Who ever it was try again next time. ( like they need me for encouragement )
btw, 62% turn out in my home towns constituency, maybe there`s more of us that have *$#@ed off than i thought, or equally as blasé about which utterly dull guy ru(i)ns the country.
What is cool about elections is the graphics and stuff that let you know which areas have all the toffs, fence sitters and lefties.
like this one
Not that i let colours rule my life but, i used to work in the blue and live in the red, purely by chance ( and economics ).

Music Videos
i am always left kinda confused about music vid`s , i`ve never been a big one for watching telly too much and, err well music is for listening right ?
Ok, so there has to be a few exceptions to the rule here UNCLE`S - "Rabbit in your Headlights", and some of the SQUAREPUSHER / APHEX TWIN videos have added more to the experience than some canny visuals, and i ve just seen the GORILLAS - " Clint Eastwood" vid and that was kinda cool .
But to be honest i`m sure most vids are a vehicle for shifting product as opposed to art embellishments in their own right.
anyway i found this Blog and if your into your vids then its worth checking out.

Crap joke
I was in a pub yesterday and the cigarette machine
said "You smell and you're ugly"
Then I heard a voice coming from a nearby plate
of peanuts saying "You're a very handsome young man"
Turns out the cigarette machine was out of order
and the nuts were complimentary.

The Corporation
Before i say more , or indeed to much on this one, i feel the need for a mindlessly dull disclaimer , for i`m no hippy people , not in the slightest, i will go on record as having never hugged a tree, ever.
As some of you may be familiar with a past trait of mine as being a label whore ( yes past trait, good people as i have been finding it all tirelessly pointless in my married 30 something incarnation ), a wandering billboard for others has been getting very `92 for me in recent years.
But , having said that the pursuit of profit, both personal and professional has had a strong hold on my work ethic for the last 17 years. I must also say that after watching "The Corporation", i`m kinda envious of my lovely wife as she has a blossoming career within the non-profit sector.
I`m also struggling with my ideals of ambition and prosperity for the wife and i, as "The Corporation" turns the high street on its head, and about time too.
does wanting a new flat screen monitor make me a bad guy ?
and i find myself wishing that i didn`t crave starbuck`s lattes so damn much , and there was a convenient alternative but hey thats another issue .
but i`m just a cook , right ? . one that has been favouring independent business as an employer.
anyway enough of my hang ups go watch the damn film for your selves, and a big thank you to the great fava bean philosopher himself for recommending this as essential viewing , cheers GB
