[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think back-in-the-day bacon kept pretty well.

Now I'm off to Wikipedia...

OK, I don't actually know much about bacon. But it seems like the sort of thing that could spoil.

In Little House on the Prairie, they had some barrels of salt pork that seemed to last forever. Preserved in salt and then packed in fat.

Laga, I thought the video was pretty good. The MS gal talking how the pot helped her extreme queeziness. I think stories like that in the mainstream would help the cause a lot. Also, maybe some medical mumbo jumbo of why it works.

Old-time dry smoked bacon keeps more or less forever, like country ham.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

The video was very cool. I like things that are based on logic. It is experiential , but if you can't do experiments under controlled circumstances, you can't get empirical

Where's Plie? and ND? and other scotch drinkers? I love this guy's take on Laphroaig. Which I am drinking now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Note that "subdued" is not what one actually wants Laphroaig to be. (Although if you're drinking the $500 special bottling bullshit he's talking about and not the normal stuff, pls to send through intertubes. Just for research purposes, of course.)

Just got an email from my advisor which included this:

You need to get a lot done in the next couple of months - basically work on math all the time (not just a 40 hour week) - if you want to have a chance of finishing by the end of the next year. It would be a shame if you didn't, since what you have done so far is very good. If you want to do this, it must now become your top priority.

I should not freak out at all the "if"s in that email, right? Because I am freaking out all all the "if"s.

just drinking the normal stuff, amych.

Hil, this is the same advisor that didn't understand that health issues might have to come first? Of course you will be doing more hours as you get closer to the deadline ...that is the way most people finish... racing the deadline.

Who thinks Hil's advisor is a jerk?
