Here is Grandma Shumway’s world famous recipe.

And here is that song you never knew but longed to hear.

I remember that key lime pie from Publix.

My oh my that key lime pie twice as yummy as shoe fly pie.

I suspect more lives would be saved if everyone had a defibrillator with them than if everyone carried a gun.

Unseen I love this!

Thanks Reg!  We’ve had a bit of snow here so I’ve been digging out my car.

The pathetic apologetics of Islam is dismantled.

How many ways are we failing Muslims by coddling them? Whose interest do we serve in doing so? By making it anathema to criticize the precious ideas/beliefs that keep so many in ignorance and sustain a depraved morality? And this while women, LGBT and other less than equals are oppressed.

Reg,

Scrivener’s error as to your BP.

Either that or get to the hospital NOW!

Enco,

Conflation and confabulation to my consternation and indignation. Prove me wrong and i will belong to the bloodthirsty and the strong.

As it is nobody beats the whiz. Make it fizz. Let logic ring through all the land. Rational man knows he can. We ain’t rational though…MAN!

And i forgot to link the article. I also lost my glasses and keys today so that is major minor.

Speaking of Koreans…check out this bad boy of nutritional innovation. Fish gelatin sounds gefiltefishish.

Cow muscle and fat stem cells sounds like that vaunted fatty corned beef sandwich.

No need to order pork fried rice any longer. Where is the beef? It is IN THE RICE.

And aint that nice?

Before I comment on this, let me just say a-rat-is-not-a-pig-is-not-a-dog-is-not-a-boy. Man, The Rational Animal is not the same as a hooved, four-legged, four-stomached primitive-brained ruminant, raising livestock is not equivalent to child abuse, spouse abuse, chattel slavery, or the Holocaust. If anybody thinks otherwise, and thinks they are…[Read more]

“And yet, you seem to rely on a parallel—and equally nonsensical—construction when it comes to attitudes toward Jews.” If i was a robot or wokester i might have relied on it. Instead i questioned it.

I would not be so sure it tells nothing. Certainly in context if we know a person and their linguistic speech patterns it might betray bigotry or…[Read more]

@ Unseen

No idea why you continue to misconstrue/misunderstand.

Let me try again.

There is a common perception that when a person says something like the following it means they are a bigot…I can’t believe you are accusing me of hating Balhoonians! Some of my best friends are Balhoonians.

I have questioned the validity of that so called…[Read more]

Simon i don’t want to be associated with any political parties. I always considered myself far more liberal than conservative. But seeing the progressives in action sickens me.

I think minorities always need to be hip to racism. It seems like the conservatives at Fox like to have Blacks to show how fair minded they are. Racism from the left…[Read more]

Not enough fat on that corned beef sandwich. Man i am gonna love having lab meat although the plant based is getting better and better.

You misunderstood me i think. I am questioning the tell for bigotry. It seems to me that having friends of a particular ethnicity might well indicate no racial animus. It is certainly not dispositive of the issue…[Read more]

‘Some of my best friends are black.’

That is a tell for bigotry. But i am not sure it is typically the case. Seems to me genuine friendship is an indication of lack of bigotry against a particular ethnic group. I have however seen in college how White bigots dated Black girls because they thought them inferior and there was some weird sexual…[Read more]
