| Posted by: Dekka00 | | This morning (well, 1pm) I was groggy and my brain wasn't working so I made myself a couple of cups of really strong coffee. I overcompensated. A half hour later I was so wired that my hands were twitching as I typed and I couldn't do anything because I kept getting sidetracked by every little thing.

I did that a few weeks ago. I was talking so fast my husband could not understand me. I get very creative when I am that wired. I did an outline for my Gandalf window. Put some music on and just go with it. No more coffee for me- for a while at least.

Not really. But it is an interesting way to look at them. BTW, do you think the dinosaurs thought of the trees as broccoli?

No, but sometimes when I walk in the yard, I pretend I am a giant and the blades of grass are trees. That's kind of close.....

| Posted by: Whidden | | There are fields, endless fields where Broccoli is grown. For the longest time, I wouldn't believe it.
But then I saw the fields with my own eyes, spreading in every direction for miles.
I watched them harvest the broccoli so that it could be fed to the living, and standing there, facing the efficiency, the pure, horrifying precision, I came to realize the obviousness of the truth......
Broccoli sucks.

Good theory maxwell. Do you want to write a paper with me on this theory? |
"Per capita consumption of broccoli in this country reached 6 pounds last
year, compared to only l.5 pounds in 1970. U.S. growers met this increased
demand by producing 1.3 million pounds last year--four times the 325,000
pounds grown in 1970. Broccoli is high in vitamins and dietary fiber.
Another plus: Broccoli is rich in sulforaphane, a compound associated with
reduced risk of breast cancer."
Breast Cancer. Another possible reason why the dinosaurs became extinct? Could we use this as a supporting evidence?

It is called 'gobhi-aloo' or sometimes 'aloo-gobhi'. 'Gobhi' means cauliflower and 'aloo' means potato. It is cooked with a lot of oil and spices, mostly with onions and green chillies too. If you like spicy food, you will love it!!!
And I know a little fat is good for my body, but not the kind offered by french fries. Eating a lot of fat makes me more sleepy too, and it isn't very desirable for me.

| Posted by: Sean Kelly | | Driving home from work this evening, I saw a car rudely invade the space of a motorcyclist to where the bike had to bail out of his lane and back off. So the biker puts on his high beam, pulls along side the car IN the car's lane, put's it in neutral, and rev's at the motorist 10-15 times.
While I could understand the biker's frustration and certainly the peril that oblivious motorists put motorcyclists in:
1) Motorcyclists know and accept this element of danger EVERY time they get on their bike, and thus his little emotional outburst was unwarranted
2) He placed himself BACK in danger by pulling along side the car and flipping out - he had NO way to know how the motorist would react to his antagonization and could easily have been killed by an abrupt motion of the vehicles - whether or not such motion was intended.
Overall, the interaction ranked a 7 of 10 on my scale of stupid things not to do. | | Reply To this Message

It is called 'matar-aloo' or sometimes 'aloo-matar', 'matar' meaning peas. There is also a stew which has peas and tofu made from cow's milk in it. It is called 'matar-paneer', 'paneer' meaning the milk-tofu. I love both. Have you tried 'matar-paneer'?

Anger can make you do some stupid things. There was a road rage incident here in Tulsa. Two cars were duking it out, and they both pulled to the side of the road and stopped.
A guy got out of the first car and ran to the second car which was driven by a woman. She hit the gas and put him on the hood. She headed out onto the highway and did speeds over 100mph while Homer was hanging on to the windshield wipers for dear life.
The cops pulled them over and put them both in jail, though the woman got the full force of the law brought down on her for actually trying to kill the guy.
It came out later that she was laughing in his face through the windshield as she swerved back and forth at over 100 mph.
Anger can make you stupid!

I haven't tried that. It sounds great. I am vegetarian so it really appeals to me. Have you ever had it with soy milk or coconut milk, or does the cow's milk give it it's flavor.

The tofu used is made from cow's or buffalo's milk. We don't usually use soy or coconut tofu.

We rediscovered them and do them quite often but we "tweak" them to make them even better.
For example, when it asks for a noun, we give a descriptive noun. (Instead of "3-toed sloth" for a noun, we will put down "prepubescent 3-toed sloth".) We tend to make them more *cough* adult as well.

I used to do madlibs when I was in grade school. We'd put in words like "stinky" and "butt" and "fart" and "poop." We thought it was the funniest freaking thing ever. It had us laughing until we cried. And for adjectives we'd say "brown" and "yellow" since poop is brown and pee is yellow.
hmm... now that I think about it, my humor really hasn't matured much since then, the words I use have just gotten longer.
