That flu is so funny. I mean, the deaths aren't, but it's called SWINE flu. Hilarious. And if you replace the "1"s in "H1N1" with the similarly shaped "I", then it spells hinny. Double hilarious!

Not kidding, 5 consecutive 30c (86f) has been like torture,
Come back when you have a week of solid 120f...no less than 100f at night...Then you can complain about weather torture.
Quote from dux »
I am like you man. I love the winter weather and atire. You can always put more on and get warm, you can only take so much off and still be hot.
I'm not much for winter. Winter activities are fun, camping, hiking, skiing and such, but days are just too short. I'd have to put up a tent by 5:00PM and have to spend the rest of the time inside reading a book or something. If it snows in the night it's a pain to wake up, water bottles are frozen, and snow gets into the tent as you roll it up, soaking it for a later date. Then there's the fact that weather plays a much more critical role in survival. I've nearly frozen to death a lot more than hallucinating from heat exhaustion. Thoughts of hiking for hours down a frozen mountain in a soggy snowstorm while soaking wet come to mind. Good times though. Snow caves are fun and there is an uncanny peace in a snowy wilderness.
BD, Swine flu is not kosher...so Israel wanted to rename it Mexican flu. I guess that's more politically correct?
Stay Strong Kpaca. Hopefully that's not a particularly strong variant of the flu. It'll be interesting to see how severe it is this year.
Cheers,

And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.
I'm making Eggrolls for dinner tonight for me and my roomate. She'd been asking bout it and I figure I can be nice. So I tell her to buy the ingredients...nothing fancy...no secret recipie...just the stuff on the back of the eggroll package.
Ingridients are:
ground beef, pork, or chicken
ginger
cabage
bean sprouts
shredded carrots
green onions
Oyster sauce
and Oil.
She comes back with:
Sausage. O_o
No Ginger ...Luckily I had some
Cabbage
No Bean Sprouts ...she doesn't like them
Baby carrots ....that I get to try to shred individually without grating my fingers.
No Green onions ... oops
Oyster Sauce
No oil... nother oops.
2 out of 9 ....guess that's what I should expect from a stoner. These are going to be some messed up eggrolls..thats for sure. I still have to go to the store anyway just for the oil...if I had known that before I made everything I could have gotten those missing ingredient.
I'll tell ya'll if it actually tastes good. I ran out of stuff so I filled the last two wraps with cheese.

That's a fantastic story Chris. Though I find it disconcerting that you don't have basic ingredients like meat of some sort or oil on hand already. But I suppose that's to be expected in the house of a stoner and a guy who thinks that ramen with grated carrot in it is fancy cuisine.

It gladdens my heart that you still consider "meat of some sort" as basic ingredients.
Just because I consider a trip to a fast food restaurant as a way to reward myself, and to possibly eat better, doesn't mean I'm fancy enough for shredded carrot in the Ramen. Those are for rare occasions of celebrations like Applebees or chillies. I always have an inner debate at those places whether or not the garnish is suppose to be edible.
The Eggrolls turned out surprisingly edible. Mostly sausage and cabbage with little of anything else, but edible. We ate the entire batch and my roomate kept complimenting on my cooking, touting how they were better than store bought. Guess she doesn't know what she's missing.
Last time I made them was probably in Arizona. Coworkers there loved it and were surprised I just used the recipie on the package. I even substituted tofu for the vegetarians. To add to an old heated debate we had a bit ago....Tofu is awesome alone or added to something, ya'll just weird :sweat:... Not sure Its edible for vegan though. I suspect there's egg somewhere in the eggroll. Plus I know Blod doesn't eat anything with animal in the name, like Eggplant or Salmon berries (like raspberry only salmon colored).

I only consider it a basic ingredient for those whose cooking style is such that it needs to be a basic ingredient. in the same way that wasabi would be a basic condiment for an asian, but mustard would be a basic condiment for an American.
As for the veg*nness of egg rolls, I'd be less concerned with the possible egg in the wrappings (you can get them without) as I would be about the oyster sauce (why do you think it's called that?).

Vegetarian oyster sauce prepared from mushrooms, often oyster mushrooms, is also popular and generally lower in price. It may contain more taste enhancers if less mushroom extract is used to reduce costs.
You could just use that.

Indeed so. They also make Caesar dressings and Worcestershire sauces without anchovies in them. But when omnis make food for veg*ns, it's not uncommon for them to have no idea that these things generally contain animal ingredients in them.

I swear to God, I cannot catch a break to save my life. Literally. Today I was driving around looking for my dogs(my daughter let them out accidentally) and one of the tires blew out on my car. I don't even really have money to feed my kids, nevermind trying to come up with money to replace a tire.
I don't even know how to express what I'm feeling right now. I'm supposed to start a new job in 3 days, but there is no bus route there, etc. I hate this.
Dang Nick, talk about another low blow. Do you have a spare tire you could temporarily drive on? Friend drove on his for a good 800 miles once when needed.
As for the veg*nness of egg rolls, I'd be less concerned with the possible egg in the wrappings (you can get them without) as I would be about the oyster sauce (why do you think it's called that?).
I wouldn't know why oyster sauce is called oyster sauce. Just like Rocky Mountain oysters, some edible things are better left unknown. Kind of a don't ask don't tell policy of food.
Watched a movie called "Zombie Stripper" today. Couldn't help it...I mean Not just Zombies and strippers, but Zombie strippers! Not a movie worth paying for...but I had a good laugh. Oooh, and super Zombie stripper powers apparently include spinning on the dancing pole so fast that the wind generated can knock people back, and shooting pool balls at high velocities from zombie ******.

Frankenhooker sounds dumb...Zombie Strippers does too I guess. Wasn't X rated or nuthin...but ya gotta give it a try with zombies. Probably disturbing once you realize that the crowd of horny men knew they were zombies but still hooted and hollered.

Maybe I will give the movie a try; can't be any worse than some of the other stuff I've watched.
I pretty much watch any zombie movie I come across. Right now I'm about 30 minutes into the Night of the Comet from 1984 (I think, judging by the hair). It's corny as hell, I love the zombie apocalypse

Tsk tsk....if only those scientists were smart enough to hide out in a non-ventilated projector booth or metal box as opposed to some secret underground non-sense.
That movie is better than Zombie strippers hands down. Most zombie movies are. Though the standard tends to be a pocket of survivors trying to stay survivors...and none too successfully. I wonder how many varieties they can make of that...
I did love the corny intro for Zombie Strippers. Bush was the president and disbanded congress. He started wars with Iraq, Afganistan, Iran, Syria, Venesuelia, North Korea, and anyone else we are hostile to. There's a people shortage for fighting all the wars so Bush and his cronies funded a reanimating virus ala resident evil.
I did have a good laugh at the none-too subtle anti-bush political references in those first five minutes of the movie. Movie's not quite worth seeking out...but if you catch it randomly and don't have anything better to do....:p

Man, I scored 4x Steam Vents for US$7.50ea - they're like $20ea here @_@
Anybody dressing up for Halloween? It's not quite a thing here yet, but there are a few Halloween ads around ( ) I'm gonna get some candy to hand out + carve a Jack O'lantern - just in time for the Big Heat, he gonna rot
eds - hrm, will I ever play those old Ice Age / Apocalypse painlands again?
Anyway! Good news - I landed that library casual position! Going for a medical (go go government job!) + all that exciting job stuff
Halloween is an American holiday, it has virtually no following here, although every year there is more support (thankfully from the kids-who-want-to-dress-up more than the hallmark people).
Magic is horribly overpriced here - the new fetches are nearly AUS$30!
But luxury items in general are at least 50% more here, even before you figure out the exchange rate. Some other stuff gets hit too; pair of blue jeans? At least $100 for a decent brand. Has to be some balance for all the positives
Wow..that's a pretty ridiculous price for a pair of blue jeans. I mean, I know people here that spend that price on jeans, but I just attest that to them being idiots. I'm disgruntled if I have to spend more than $35 on jeans. Of course, I don't really like jeans, so I'm sure that's part of it.
I never knew that Halloween was just an American holiday, that seems weird. Good for you guys, though. Halloween is an obnoxious holiday.
Wow..that's a pretty ridiculous price for a pair of blue jeans. I mean, I know people here that spend that price on jeans, but I just attest that to them being idiots. I'm disgruntled if I have to spend more than $35 on jeans. Of course, I don't really like jeans, so I'm sure that's part of it.
Oh come now. There is very little better than a nice fitting pair of jeans. They're sturdy, strong, and provide solid protection from most parasites and biting insects. I even opt to wear my jeans while hiking in the tropics, desert, and snow despite the drawbacks...though some call me crazy for that. I went all out for school, bought name brand jeans...carhartts...paid over $30 bucks I did. Only bought one cause I couldn't afford more, went to walmart for my other clothes needs....but the carhartts are awesome.
I do find it confusing how less functional jeans...cut up and sold at hot topic for instance...can cost over a hundred dollars. I wear these jeans into the ground, hell I even have stories for most the rips and tears in them. Like the hole in the right shin of one pair of jeans where I slid down a soaking slickrock mountain in an attempt to avoid tumbling down the traction-less cliff...then a few months later in the tropics a blasted leech found that one hole in my defenses...got me good...had a scar for over a year. Ah the memories...that was a good pair of jeans.
Now that was a good pair of jeans.
My university is going through some tough financial times. Lots of things have been debated, classes removed, and new regulations that I think restrict learning. One thing that is going on is the Rangeland Department, the one I am in, is being combined with the forestry department. My degree which is "Masters of Rangeland Ecology and Management," Will now be considered "Masters of natural resources"...Since this is after I am in the program I can keep the old name if I want... I like the original name better than the new one anyway.
The newly merged department needs a new name too and there has been loads of debate. I liked, "The Department of Forestry and Rangeland Ecology and Management" or something along those lines. Word on the street is that the one getting looked at most seriously is, "The department of ecology and Biogeosciences." Anyone know what the heck biogeosciences even is? I mean I am in the supposed department and I don't know. O_O Blod with the list of deffinitions...I'm looking at you. Seems the guy who really likes the name is creating a fact sheet to assist others in trying to figure out that word. :-p
