Hey, I also believe that vodka is made from potatoes. Go figure.

Vodka was originally made from potatoes, but most of it is made from rye grain these days. Lukoksawa (sic) is a Polish vodka that is still made from potatoes. It has a nice rich, slightly oily quality and makes a terrific martini.

Once, as a young chef's apprentice, I had the disgusting task of sorting through a bushel of baby potatoes, seperating the bad from the good. When I got to the bottom, they were not just bad, they were melting. I went to the sous chef and and said: "Hey, come quick...I need to show you something..." He came running, and I showed him the bushel and asked "Did you ever know a potato could sneeze?" He nearly puked....heh heh....

Here's another stoopid question: (Ethiopian Jews have been in the news again recently thanks to Whitney Houston) Is a black Hebrew a Hebro? Is a Hebrew an Israeli beer? Man...it is so confusing being Jewish...not a Jew, just Jew-ish....

cav, ewwwwww!

Chopin is a widely available and very good potato vodka. Very smooth and just plain nice. Also Polish. Same company as Belvedere, a rye vodka that I enjoy. Or rather, I remember enjoying when I could afford it!

Hey marycat, I can make fun of my own people and Whitney, just cuz she crazy...oh wait...you are referring to the potato story...yeah, it was pretty gross, but in the resto biz you need to show you can hack it....that is one way Very Happy I have tried both Chopin and Belvedere...I thought they were both grain vodkas, wasn't aware that Chopin was potato. They are both very good, but quite frankly, at double the price of the average premium vodka, they are not worth it. We have a vodka here made in Newfoundland called Iceberg, around the same price as Stoli which is great....all the bells and whistles, triple distilled, smooth, and Canadian. I am close to giving up the Polish and Russian models, despite my Russian heritage...

Cool Once I was describing to a girlfriend how once a submerged car with a dead body was hauled up from the water in Seattle. The car and it's driver had disappeared 9 years before. My girlfriend asked me if the driver was still alive.

Setanta uses some editing to remove the word quote. Copy his post to a reply box and you can see the change in code.

Did you look close to see the green in my eyes?


Sorry Husker, your picture is very small so I can't see your eyes!


lemme get back to you but - yes


I just did this because i thought it was really cool the way the quotes within quotes were receding to the vanishing point . . . is that a vacuous response, Boss?


OOh I'm melting!

I've posted this elsewhere because it bears repeating:
The customer said to me: "Last week they told me that I only had seven days to bring this back and that it was too late to bring this back. Is it still too late to bring this back?"

Actually, it's made in California. He'brew's bills itself as The Chosen Beer. It's not very good, but the label is worth saving. Only comes in 22 oz. singles.

Is it brewed from manna?

Actually, Ethiopian Jews call themselves Bet ha Yisroel, which means House of Israel.

Whitney is black, and recently went to Israel to meet with black Jews. To my knowledge, she is Baptist, but black Jews still her peeps, apparently.

When Hewlett-Packard installed that retractable cup holder at the top of my computer, why did they make it so flimsy? The damned things cost over $50 for the cheap ones, and i can't put a full mug of coffee on there withoug riskin' the stupid cupholder breakin' -- yet again. What is up with that?

Why do fat bicyclists try to run me off the road when I ride my tricycle?


Should there be special tri- and unicycle lanes? "Don't drive in the circus lane"?

Why do azzholes drive me crazy???


Depends. Could be any number of reasons. By the fact that you're using the plural I infer that you are not talking of your own, so I'll skip the question about whether it itches. Does it have to do with sex? There's a thread around here somewhere about that, you know ...

Cyclists are the creatures of hell, and you should make every effort, consistent with staying out of jail, to run them down whenever possible . . .


Oy! Touch bicyclists and you touch our national tradition. And you don't wanna touch anything Dutch. Really.

cavfancier wrote:
Why do cyclists use the sidewalks? I thought the operative word there was 'walk'?


Because there's no proper fuckin bicycle lanes, thats why, and we prefer not being run over by the likes of Setanta ...

(I see there's a bit of a thematic thread goin' on around here, huh)

patiodog wrote:
Why do so many bicyclists refuse to yield to either cars or pedestrians? Shouldn't they be of a mindset that the mass with the greatest momentum either has the right of way or has the responsibility to yield it?


Cause we're the anarchists of the road, and consistency would be our death.

I agree on the spandex, though. That just looks ridiculous. People in spandex trousers'll be among the first to get shot when the revolution comes. Yeh, all of 'em. Same with bicyclists with helmets. I mean, come on. Only bicyclists here wearing helmets are the cops. 'Nuff said.
