Man, this would be a great replacement for Artist of the Month... user of the week--as many questions as you can stand.

So I'm gonna go visit everybody's and see what's up.

If you were me and I were you, What question would you ask me?

O jeez... well... I think if I were you I'd open with a joke.

I'd probably close with one, too

What was your favorite date?

What's your favourite Cajun joke?

whats your favorite band or artist?

and

What would you do in the event of a zombie attack?

Ooh, I know just the one. Jake and I had only been together for about a month, and we didn't have a lot of money to go out. So most of our dates consisted of playing video games, watching movies, and talking. He used to have this shitty old truck that was probably the FIRST love of his life, hehe. One night, he drove me home and we just started talking about everything we were interested in and didn't want to stop. I put my head in his lap, and he laughed and listened to music and went on and on until the sun came up. Important, because that was when I really started to take note of the things I love about him to this day.

Can you play the kazoo?

How long have you been playing and singing? Ever play with a group?

Hmmm... I can't think of many at the moment, but this one's pretty cute. I'm gonna probably have to explain it though...

So Boudreaux comes home, and his wife is in a bad mood.

"I need you ta go to da sto' an' get me some tampons."

So he goes and stares at the feminine products section until a grocer comes up to him.

"How can I help you, sir?"

"Mais, I need some tampons for my wife."

"Well what kind of flow does she have?"

"Linoleum."

Tom Waits and a bunch of Jazz artists... my top 3 vocalists right now are Shirley Horn, Billie Holiday, and Johnny Hartman. But that changes around sometimes.

Hmm, I'd probably rely on someone much stronger. Or I'd die really really early in the attack.

I've been singing almost as long as I could speak in sentences. Musical family. We all HAD to play piano for at least 5 years in order to gain a musical background. I learned theory performed at recitals. We can all carry a tune well, but I kind of had the best knack for it. That was my niche. My brother's the bass/flute guy, and my sister would probably rock the drums. My dad is a really wonderful flutist who helped get the Acadiana Symphony Association founded.

Then when I was 9 I joined a Children's Choir and performed in churches, nursing homes, and some venues in New Orleans. I've also performed in a local musical revue called "Basically Broadway" at age 14 and 2 high school musicals, _South Pacific_ and _Godspell_. I also sang "More than you Know" with my high school's jazz combo. I spent one year of college in voice, performing classic arias and things like that, mostly, plus some broadway stuff. We even did a madrigal. I stepped away from that and am performing in public again for the first time in a week. I'll try and get a video.

As for the uke? I'm a total novice. I started in June for fun, and I'm really enjoying it. I just wanted something portable that I could sing along with. I'll be playing it at the gig next week.

What Star Trek captain is your favorite?

Never watched much of it, but if I had to guess who I would like the most, I think it would be Picard. The air of that show suits me more than the old one, I think, and Patrick Stewart is just great.

Linoleum... Heee heee heee heee ^^

What is the most unusual animal/dish that you have eaten?

Would you eat head cheese?

Hmmm....unusual dishes...

On my senior trip to New York, we visited this gorgeous hole-in-the-wall restaurant where I had seared scallops with a sauce made of dark chocolate and squid ink. Unusual and delicious, strangely bittersweet.

I ate blood pudding on my trip in the UK last year. It was good.

There's gotta be something else too.. I'll think about it.

I mean, I've dunked 20 pounds of live, writhing crustaceans into a boiling pot filled with spicy seasonings and potatoes... maybe I don't know what's unusual.

Hylian, I have no desire to eat head cheese.

A glass of whisky. On the rocks or straight up?

Would you eat a seafood salad if it was made from the flesh off of Zoidberg?

Down the sink. Blech....

No, scratch that... I'd put ice in it and give it to my grandpa or sister. That's their drink.

Does it bother you that the most public perception of Cajuns is a poorly written cartoon character? Who would you consider the BEST popular conception of a Cajun?

Ohhhh man. Good question. Hang on, I'll get back to you!

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

To answer the first part, it doesn't really bother me. I'm sure other people feel this way too--when they see their cultural/ethnic group depicted, they get kind of picky and don't think anyone can capture the true essence of their people. You really have to come here to a festival or a local restaurant or a family's house for dinner to really feel it.

in b4 creeeeeeepy questions

Part 2, Adammon, I REALLY can't think of anything truly good and not just a funny/silly stereotype. Maybe the Cajun inmate from The Green Mile. The accent was spot-on, and he had the weird, playful warmth that a lot of old people down here have. (I forget what crime he committed... I only saw the movie. But I connected with him right away.) I especially love the line, "I thank you, Mr. Jingles thanks you, my mamma'd thank you but she daid."

What was the creepiest stalker moment you've experienced (as stalker or stalked)?

What is best in life?

Can I call you crazy, since I surely cannot call you guilty with millions of hands on the blade?

Sad story, actually, Gruebeard

Years ago, my sister starting dating this guy who we didn't know was a complete monster, and she kept it from us. <Many awful details left out>

Months after the breakup, he still drove by our home, left her screaming messages about bombing bars (die-hard anti-alcohol "Christian"), and followed her to night classes. My father and brother finally approached him one day when he was waiting for her outside of school. He never bothered her after that. He's the one person I don't think I'll ever forgive.

Months later, my mom say him with a girl and she asked her: "Has he hit you yet?" He pulled her away and they walked off.

Call me anything but the C-word... unless I really, really deserve it.

If you could talk to anyone past or present who would you talk to?

Hmmm....... tough one.

Top of my head?....probably Igor Stravinsky or Ralph Waldo Emerson.

other than Charles Mingus, what jazzy type people would you recommend listening to?

If you're in a good mood, check out John Ellis' album Dance Like There's No Tomorrow. It captures a lot of different moods, genres, and parts of our lives. I highly recommend it.

Miles Davis is a must. I've been listening to Kind of Blue. My brother's the authority on him, really.

I like Coltrane a lot, and if you're into mellow vocals, his album of love songs with Johnny Hartman is gorgeous.

Shirley Horn's tribute album to Ray Charles and You Won't Forget Me are great. You can also find her gorgeous rendition of "A Time for Love" on youtube. It's better to watch her face when you hear her music.

Count Basie's always enjoyable, and he did good work with Sinatra.

I love Ella and Billie of course. People always ask me if I like Louis Armstrong, and I absolutely do, but he isn't my favorite. Still, I never thought of him the same when I heard "Black and Blue."

After seeing them live, I'd recommend Wynton Marsalis (and his whole family, really) and Ron Carter's solo work.

There are so many.. and I'm not really familiar with them all. I've heard a lot of Herbie Hancock, Dave Brubeck, and Wayne Shorter too, although again, my brother knows more about jazz than me.

But yes, any of those.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

I also think that Jane Monheit is a beautiful newer female vocalist. I saw her live as an assignment back when I majored in music. She's tremendously talented... does a lot of great Portuguese numbers that made me feel connected to my family down there.

If you had to pick your last meal what would you choose?

I'd request to cook my own leg of lamb with a spring green salad and potatoes.

Hmm... well... there was this one time that two people were in a fight (way past just debating) and one of them made it super personal. I don't remember who, I just remember how angry the comment made me. If I had gone with the snap decision I wanted to make based on the insult, I probably would have banned that person for a week. But in the end I don't think that would have been right, because like always, the air was cleared. People are going to fight and say things they maybe they regret or don't think about; it doesn't mean they don't have a right to be here.

Other than that, I've sometimes wanted to screw with people's posts/avatars just to be goofy.

Ohhh, crawfish. Always crawfish. I like shrimp in etouffee or fried in a poboy, but I could live without it. I MUST have my crawfish boils every season. It's a fun day; you even play with the poor little crawfish before boiling them... put them against each other in cage (cooler) matches and watch them try to escape in the grass. Sadistic, delectable fun for the whole family.

I'm not too hardcore about it, though. You're supposed to suck the fat out of the head after you peel off the tail, but it looks too nasty. I stick with the meat.

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

As for Les Miles, I just don't care at all about football. Part of it is that watching sports bothers me, and part of it is a little bitterness from living in a place where it's so revered. Up until high school you could get extra points in class for going to a game to cheer. I thought it was so stupid. Plus, I never had much say in what schools I went to before college, so I never really had school spirit.

I was a little annoyed at how he left people dangling like that. "Oh, I'm going to leave probably..." Days and days later: "I'm staying with LSU, have a nice day." And then they worshiped him, as if a football coach down here needs an excuse for people to kiss his ass.

...Sorry. Like I said... so not a sports fan.

Hehe, the linoleum joke really made me laugh. But I had to think it through a couple of times.

Now... What makes me really wonder, after reading through the posts in this thread... I've been pondering about this question for quite some time now. Like, really thinking about it. Even thinking so hard about it, that I forget to ask google... I always wanted to know:

Andi--Cajun is short for Acadian. Long story short, Acadians were French settlers in Eastern Canada who were exiled. Some remained there, hiding around Quebec. I have many distant cousins there, actually. I met some of them at the Leblanc family reunion in Erath, LA many years ago.

Funny you should ask that. When I tell out-of-towners where I'm from, they ask me what happened to my accent. You don't get a lot of Cajuny accents in my hometown. Being a Cajun has more to do with volume. There are many different accents, but when we're together, we're all really loud, always laughing, and someone probably brought an instrument and food.

Numbered for convenience.

1. My obsession with clarifying things. People already get it, but I'm not done explaining something in as many ways as I can. Juuuust like my father.

3. I don't know enough about you to know what I'd want to change. As it stands right now, I like you the way you are. You generally keep things light like many of the other users in here that I enjoy talking with.

4. Honestly?... probably that really beautiful redhead from the cosplay thread... the one with the insane curves. To me, that's a truly striking woman.

5. Absolutely! I'm so curious! So many things I wanna do---pee standing up, see what sex feels like from that perspective, experience all the different thoughts and feelings of a guy. Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't wanna live there.

6. Probably Gusto. He and I are the closest. But there are so many of you who just look so damn huggable I think it's a shame you're not here.

7. two: dark purple and red

8. I love a bluesy sound, because it's not always sad. It often sounds more like someone looking sadness in the face and saying 'I'm going to get through this', and that inspires me.

9. Argh, too many... Writing, cooking, playin my uke . Those are the top 3.

I complained about him before, but I have to say it's not TOTALLY wrong. It's just... not quite right. There are a lot of "cher's" thrown around. Hell, I say that every day. Most Cajuns my age spell it "sha," and that makes me sad.

Anyway... no. The main thing that bugs me is that he spoke in 3rd person sometimes, and I have no idea where they picked that up.

On the sixth day, in Eden... God had been handing out abilities to the animals, and Adam was feeling pissed off since it seemed all the cool abilities were being taken. He would have no prehensile tail, he could not climb up walls, he could not fly. And as God was giving more and more abilities away, he grew even more pissed.

Finally, God asked Adam and Eve to come to Him.

"I have two abilities left", God said. "First, I have the ability to pee standing up..."

"Ooh! Memememe! I want that! I want that!", Adam started yelling, jumping up and down to make sure he'd get the ability before Eve did.

"Fine", God said. "Adam, you get to pee standing up. Eve, you get multiple orgasms."

Not really familiar with either of those things.... but in a post-apocalyptic world I'd probably be a crazy pack rat or something. That's my guess.

In a Tolkeiny world, I'd probably be a Hobbit. They seem to enjoy eating and singing and being outdoors. Seems like a good life as long as you're not entrusted with some evil piece of jewelry.

Honestly? A really bad smell. And I have a specific one in mind too. Back when I was in culinary school, I frequented this Cafe/Antique shop that was a very quaint and relaxing spot.

One night on my way to the back (towards the bathrooms), I smelled something coming from the owner's office. It was some mixture of rotten meat and really awful-smelling spunk. I had to go home so I could use the restroom.

Click to expand...

1. Moral decay or all relative? I'm tempted to say decay sometimes, but when I think about it, I honestly believe there's a bit of both going on. This might take me a bit to explain, so bear with me.

I'm glad that I meet so many people who want to move away from archaic, seemingly moral beliefs about some things and black-and-white thinking. But on the other hand, I think that it's dangerous to declare that there is no real right and wrong. I think that it can make people avoid taking responsibility. They didn't do wrong; they're just doing what's best 'the them' and taking part in their own personal value system. I was raised in a family that didn't pressure me to religious, but I was urged to remember that nothing we do is in a vacuum. We affect people with our decisions, no matter how careful we are, and no matter what it is. I think that "it's between me and God" or "me and __whoever else" is misleading, because the truth is we never know who we're affecting.

So, if anything is wrong, I'd say that people wrongly believe that much of what they do has consequences that affect only them, and that is bad.

2. Fast food? I love the Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich with a small Frosty. Or better yet Popeye's fried chicken. Really, most of my protein comes from eggs, beans, tuna, and insanely lean turkey, so a good piece of dark meat that's spicy and fried is a little piece of heaven that I treat myself to about once a year or once every 6 months.

3. I actually do, with all my heart. I don't have any proof, but something in me tells me that they're real. I'm a smart person, generally. I can come to rational, logical conclusions. But I can't shake the feeling that there are a lot more strange, supernatural things going on in our world that we really think. I WISH I had proof. But I do believe that there are people out there who have died and, for some reason or other, are living through a "snapshot" of their lives over and over... in other words, I don't believe in ghosts that can communicate with us or come into contact with us, for good or for evil. But I believe in the soul, and I believe it can get lost or "stuck."

4. My eyes are dry. It took me about 5 minutes to reply. If I assume that I blinked about 8 times each minute (which seems close to the correct number), then I could estimate about 40 times.

Thank you, that was fun.

Could you share a tasty lentil recipe or two?

drawn_inward said:

Click to expand...

I only really make one.

Lentils and rice:

First you boil about a cup of rice... make sure the water's as it would be if you were making pasta: salty as the sea. No one likes bland rice! Keep the rice aside. It's ok to cook for a little less time, because it will be simmering with the lentils eventually.

Next, take about a cup and a half of lentils, rinse and sort, etc. Put the amount of water indicated on the bag to boil. Season the water with:

-about 2 tablespoons of salt
-black and cayenne pepper to taste. I like about 3-4 healthy dashes of each
-about a tablespoon of paprika
-a crapload of cumin. like, a lot of it. Like, it looks like too much but really it's not. (That's how I describe it.. I've never measured the cumin )
-a nice big handful of chopped parsley

When the water is seasoned, throw the lentils in. When it comes to a boil, lower it to medium heat, cover, and let simmer for at least 30 minutes. Stir occasionally. You can throw the rice in at about 20 minutes. When the lentils start to get soft, make sure it's seasoned enough for you. I usually let it simmer about an hour before eating.

This is my favorite dish. If I'm REALLY hungry or my brother's been out running all afternoon, I'll throw some chicken in there, too. Saute it in similar spices and just throw it in with the rice. Delicious.

***I almost forgot the crucial bay leaf! Throw that in the water!***

Excluding Mardi Gras, what is your favorite local festival in Louisiana? Any particular "street vendor" food that you love that you can only really get at festivals?

I'll be honest. I'd rather change my answer than read that book again. It was entertaining, but that's all. I always figured it was speaking to him through that orb or something. O well.

Favorite Festival? Easy. Festival International de Louisiane. It's a 4-5 day celebration in Lafayette of international culture--music, clothing, jewelry, etc. There are all these awesome vendors from all over. One of my favorite things to do besides listen to the bands is watch people scoop fresh cocoa butter right into cans for sale.

Almost all of the food you can get there is available in Lafayette at any time; but it's fun to have it made fresh right there in front of you. My favorite foods at festival... There's a Greek booth with killer Moussaka and gyros, a great Alligator or Crawfish Poboy stand, and a jambalaya stand with a dutch oven full of it.... seriously, the size of a damn bathtub. So much good food...... it's hard to choose.

A tourist favorite is a creamy crawfish and spinach dish served inside of hollowed-out homemade bread. I actually think that's a festival exclusive.

Everyone should experience this at least once: http://www.festivalinternational.com/site.php

What do you do when you want to relax/soothe yourself?

-Adam

To calm myself down and put things into perspective, I make myself a cold drink (nonalcoholic) and stand outside and look around. I take a few deep breaths, count my blessings, and think about how lucky I am to even have the time to think about the problems I have. Some people are so burdened by basic needs that they'd never even think to acknowledge my problems like mine.

Then I'll usually go to my favorite coffee shop, order an au lait, and listen to Shirley Horn or John Ellis while I either read, write, or chat with you people.

I also exercise. I try to do this every day, because it really improves my disposition.

Full beard, trimmed beard, Vandyck, goatee, moustache, sideburns, other?

Sounds weird, maybe, but I love hairy dudes. ^_^

Beards that are neatly trimmed and goatees are my weakness. I love love love them. I just wanna scratch the guy's chin until he falls asleep. I'm not a fan of loooong sideburns or moustaches by themselves. It's a special sort of man who can pull off JUST a moustache.

Ban 3 people here? Jeez... I don't dislike anyone here enough for that. Well, almost no one.

I did not like the Messiah at all. I don't know if he's here anymore, but his pointless, childish arguments and constantly prodding people made me really upset. We'd be having our usual debates (sometimes heated) and in he'd come with YOU IDIOTS DON'T KNOW HOW THE GOVERNMENT WORKS! YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR BILLS!!!! ...as if we were all stupid.

I don't think he contributed anything meaningful in the least, and I think it would have felt pretty good to snap my fingers and make him disappear.

I've gotten angry at members before for things they've said, usually getting way too personal. But those kinds of moments clear pretty fast. The people I disagree with (or flat-out dislike) have something special to bring to this place.

You have been presented with an armadillo to cook. What kind of sauce do you use?

NO sauce. I get that diseased thing out of my house.

even if it has been properly prepared to avoid CROSS-CONTAMINATION?

Forget cross contamination. I'm worried about regular contamination. But yes... provided it was some manner of non-diseased armadillo I'd keep it away from any other meats and vegetables I was using.

Still, though. This is a gross scenario.

Click to expand...

Actually, yeah. Despite my culinary arts background, I really enjoy making simple yet nourishing food. That lentil recipe I've mentioned a couple of times? I pretty much live on that, fruits, veggies, eggs and sardines on bagels. Oh, and cereal and milk.

I love to cook more complicated things, but I just don't have the time or money lately. So I live in very simple things, and they usually taste the best and give me a lot of pep.

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

What was the coolest thing about culinary school?
The coolest thing was all that stuff I had free reign over. Any time there wasn't a class, I could just go in there with my knives and practice chopping or some cooking technique. The labs were really expensive, because they expect you to take advantage of all the resources. I could literally go in there several times a day and use all the carrots and potatoes I wanted to practice doing a julienne or a perfect dice. Plus, after every class, we had a big meal. Of course, that's part of how I gained 50 damn pounds . But most of it's gone now.

What was the worst?
Cooks can kind of be assholes. I mean, when I have to share a kitchen, I'm an asshole too. Most people there were kind of prima donnas, and everything had to be done their way. The expression "too many cooks spoil the broth" is so true, because we often did. Learning to cooperate with each other and get over out power trips was way harder than the actual dishes and techniques. I'm glad I'm out, honestly. I was there hoping for a community but we were all kind of at each other's throats all the time. I expected to start hearing people say, "I'm not here to make friends!"

What's the coolest thing about teaching?
The coolest thing about teaching is being bombarded with questions. I love children. Not because they're oh so cute, but because they're honest--sometimes to the point of callousness. And if they are genuinely curious about something, they will usually ask. That's how everyone should be, no matter what the age--constantly seeking. I love feeding that. It's more satisfying than any job I've ever done before.

What's the worst?
Probably all the administration stuff you have to deal with, followed closely by kids who come from low-income or abusive homes. In Louisiana, everything rides on our Grade-Level Expectations, and some schools are more strict about how you teach them than others. At some schools they require you to use a certain lesson plan. Plus there's so much emphasis on passing the LEAP test that sometimes I feel like the kids can't focus on learning.

If you had a choice between teaching at a private (parochial) school or a public school, which would you choose and why?

(as background on this, my wife graduated from LSU with an education degree, and worked in both sectors during her training, also worked on a military base which was better than either of the other choices)

Ya know it's funny. I went to Catholic school all my life, but I've only worked at public schools. That's actually fine with me, considering my experiences as a private school student.

Seriously, though, I could get paid more at a public school, and I like the diverse groups I've been working with. Some schools have been REALLY nice and well-equipped. Some have been awful. But they all share the need for good teachers.

I'll probably try to start someplace easier--a little nicer and in a less rough area than some in which I've worked--just to ease into it. Then, when I'm more experience, I can move on to a challenge if I want.

I could still see myself working in a private school someday, depending on my situation. I'm even experienced enough to teach religion if they need me to.

Given what I know about you, that you care more about your freedom than in giving in to your urges, I'd say so. Plus, you'll get to carve into a lot of red, dripping meat. That might make you feel a bit better. Maybe you can pretend it's screaming and begging for mercy.

Because I think it would be easier my way than to have to come up with a machine that tells humans what to dream. Plus I'd feel too much like I was ripping off the Matrix... only with more cats.

Or that. Either way, I like mine better.

If cats are in charge (and always have been) then maybe humanity doesn't suck so bad. It's just all the feline influence. We could give people a chance to run the world.

I have, and I loooooved it. I thought the actors and the action scenes were great. I never really watched Star Trek much, except when my Dad watched TNG when I was a kid, but this was really cool.

Why the change of avatar?

I've been feeling lonesome for Jake this week. I always miss him a little, but I was just kind of in a slump. He made/found... I'm not sure.... these avatars in pink and green. They match these necklaces we wear almost exactly.

Kind of a long story. He wore a green one like this when we were first going out, and he knew I loved it. One day he just gave it to me. I took really good care of it, because I knew he really liked and probably missed wearing it. Well... one day I accidentally broke it and felt horrible, so I went to the lady who made it and asked if she could make one like it.

I gave that one to him and apologized for not taking better care of the gift. That Christmas, he had one made for me. They're kind of a common thing that "links" us, if that makes sense... probably cheesy, but I'm kinda fond of the guy. Anyway, he sent me this to use as an AIM avatar when we chat, and he has his green one up. I thought I'd put one here too. It cheers me up to see it.

I'm great. I'm about to go have a picnic with Jake in the park. It's a beautiful day. Plus, I found my new favorite body lotion. It smells like coconut and lime and now I feel all tropical and fancy. ^_^

Are you packing egg salad?

There's no food in the house. I'm visiting my parents', and they're going out of town, so we're all cleaned out here, pretty much. I'll probably get us some Shchlotsky's (sp?) because that's one of his favorite places to eat.

what do they serve at Shchlotsky's (sp?)?

Tasty sandwiches and pizza.

Do they make a decent reuben?

Actually, no. It's hard to find a decent Reuben around here.

If you were German, would your reuben situation make you one sour kraut?

what is your favorite pick-up line?

It would. I love a good reuben. When I went to NY for the first time, I went to a deli every chance I got.


No one's ever really used one on me. I just hear a bunch of funny ones. I still love, "are those mirror pants, because I can see myself in them."

I used, "So you wanna get outta here?" on the first night we kinda decided we wanted to go out. Seemed to work pretty damn well.

favorite bands?

The Black Keys, Dirty Laundry, The Figs, They Might Be Giants, The Pillows, John Ellis and the Double Wide, Cowboy Mouth...

I also love Tom Waits and lots and lots of other jazz (besides John Ellis). But the double wide was the only actual band name I could think of besides the Count Basie Orchestra.

seej, how was your picnic?

So very nice. We had our sandwiches and then just sat back and watched people walk their dogs. Then we talked about what kinds of pets we wanted one day. I keep lobbying for a pig, and he keeps saying, 'no way in hell' but we both know it's happening.

Then we lay back and watched the clouds while I played a few songs. Then I started humming Sweeney Todd songs, and we both sang "Joanna" together. Then we sang TMBG's "She's an Angel." Then the sun started to go down, and we talked about how pretty the sky and clouds were that day.

Then we went back to get ready for mom's party, where we both looked quite smart and fancy. Pics later if I can get em from mom.

Maybe Home Movies. A lot of people thought they jumped the shark, and the earlier seasons were definitely better, but the later ones were really funny to me, too. Plus, Brendan always had a way of trying to make trends in film his own, like when he tried to copy Memento and did it really poorly. It's one of my favorite shows for the dry, witty dialogue.

1. I technically can't do anything to stop you, and those kinds of things don't bother me. Anything said like that in a place like this, I consider all in good fun.

2. He's had negative experiences with forums and online friends that I won't go into detail here. But those experiences have made him very wary. He never tells me what to do, but he would flat-out tell me (and this isn't even his place) not to let you stay. And, to be honest, I probably wouldn't feel comfortable right away.

3. To me, that's the kind of question that better-traveled people can answer. I think it's a pretty good country with many flaws, just like lots of other ones. I like living here, but I sometimes wonder what it would be like to live in Canada or somewhere in Europe... or maybe South America, since I have some family in Brazil. You never know til you try sometimes. I guess that's the best answer I can give.

describe to me this man with large nipples.

or, in question form:

would you mind describing to me this man with large nipples?

Gladly. I was walking to walmart to pick up some ground turkey and cumin, and I pass this short dude in an Under Armor shirt. He's sort of muscular, but he's also got some man-boobs going on at the same time. He looks about 50, and he's got spiky, salt-and-pepper hair.

So I just glance his way and realize that this dude's nipples are freakin huge. The pointy parts looked like damn pen caps. And I could see the outline of the rest of them, his shirt was so tight. Saucer nipples.

HE COULD CUT GLASS ON COLD DAYS!

what are you making with this ground turkey and cumin?

Well the ground turkey was for a meat sauce that I made tonight. The cumin's for tomorrow when I'm making lentils and rice again.

There is a spice fight. Who wins?

Hmm..... cayenne pepper wins, because it's good for all occasions... unless you come across a delicate little flower who can't handle it.

Followed closely by thyme, because it makes my chicken irresistible.

is your chicken always on thyme?

if yes, can I have your recipe for the punctual chicken?

No, sometimes it's late, because I don't cook very quickly. ;P

It's very easy.

1 whole chicken
a little vegetable oil
salt
black, white, and red pepper
chopped parsley and thyme
minced onion and garlic cloves

Heat the oven to 400 F and pat down the chicken with a paper towel before adding oil. Brush on a very thin layer of vegetable oil. Season the outside generously, and top with the onion and garlic. I also stick some onion and garlic under the loose part of the chicken skin.

Bake for about an hour, depending on the weight. C'est tout. (Btw, I also stuff some big chunks of garlic and onion into the cavity. Throw some herbs in there, too. )
