I'm reposting this for the sake of Noxion because it was a reply to his post... if no one minds.



I usually serve tagliatelle with carbonara sauce. The strips of bacon/ham (depends on what I can afford, good ham is more expensive than bacon) stick nicely to the pasta with the sauce.


You can make these dishes however you like.... however....

Carbonara is "authentic" with linguine/spaghetti. Make the sauce liquid and prepare the pasta just every so slightly "before al dente". Do you have cubes of pancetta "pork belly"? Be careful, if the sauce is liquid then only use very fresh good quality eggs. Some people are worried about this so the sauce ends up more like scrambled eggs and pancetta- I like it runny but with "raw" eggs you need to be careful. A trick with carbonara is too let the spaghetti cool off a good bit before you add it to the sauce and mix at a low eat- this way you don't get the scrambled egg effect and the slightly "raw" pasta soaks up some of the sauce.

As for your bolognese, that's an interesting recipe but it's not the same as the ragù alla bolognese I know- here you are:

Ingredients (variable)



Extra virgin olive oil
400 grammes of lean beef mince and/or 400 grammes of lean pork mince. (I don't like the traditional beef/pork mix) and so I use about 500 grammes of lean beef. Some people also include a futher 200 grammes of pancetta- but again I prefer to leave that out. The ragù should not be too much meaty.
1 big carrot- grated- not too finely but not blocks either
1 big celery- chopped fairly finely
1 large onion (white)- chopped fairly finely
200 grammes of passata. If you don't have passata then use about 400 grammes of tinned plum tomatoes.
A glass of red wine (not too "dry" or acidic)
Salt and pepper
A tablespoon of sugar (cane)
I don't like oregano so much, and people here don't use it in this ragù but I do like to add some freshly chopped basil.
Tagliatelle (traditional)- I like spaghetti but this ragù is too thick for spaghetti.


Method

1. Chop the onion, carrot and celery so it's ready. Have the mince ready in a bowl, if you want to mix beef/pork then mix it before with your hands until it's "even".

2. Fill a large pan with the oil and heat at a low temperature. Add the passata and/or tomatoes first and keep stirring, the idea is NOT to fry everything. Then add the red wine and stir so the "alcohol" evaporates. Next add the carrot, celery and onion and when they are "cooked" add the meat/meat mix thoroughly and stir until everything is even. At this point add a tablespoon of sugare (cane) and stir.

It's quite simple, you start from the oil and tomatoes and slowly add the ingredients one by one. The seasoning comes last- if you want to add some garlic then add that (crushed) at the very end and stir.

The volume of the ragù should be about half carrot/celery/onion to meat.

Don't let it fry and sizzle though- let is simmer.

3. Once the ragù is prepared, turn off the heat. Boil the water for the pasta and when it's boiling add a tablespoon or so of salt. (sea-salt). Add the pasta and keep stirring until the pasta is even through the water and cook until it's al dente.

4. When the pasta is ready, drain it and put it back in the pot. Take the ragù you have prepared that should still be quite hot, if not heat it gently for a minute. Pour the ragù into the pot with the pasta and mix it all together thoroughly. Add a little olive oil if you want.

Serve mixed (not on top!) and add parmesan etc to taste.

PS- One thing I notice with Italian food outside of Italy is people use a lot of garlic and a lot of oregano- perhaps too much.

How to make your own pasta (and save money and impress )

For about 250 grammes of pasta you need
200 grammes of pasta flour (00) (it must be this flour!!!)
2 good fresh eggs
A pinch of fine table salt
One large wooden board

1. Beat the two eggs in a bowl
2. Sieve the flour onto the board and make a mound of flour- then in the middle of the mound make a crater like a volcano (think Vesuvio).
3. Pour the egg mix into the "crater".
4. With your hands you have to then mix this into an even dough adding the pinch of salt.
5. You need to work this dough for about 20 minutes, like making bread, until it's completely even. When it starts to form little "blisters" it should be ready.
6. Make the dough into a "ball".
7. Put the dough ball into a bowl or tray and leave it for about half-an-hour (this is very important- be patient!!!)
8. After about half-an-hour the dough should be ready:

Here it depends on you- if you have a pasta machine you can make the pasta you want according to the machine, if you don't-


roll it out thinly and use a knife to cut it into strips (tagliare hence tagliatelle ) .
or make little balls of pasta with your fingers and flatten them to make orrechiette.
or roll fine and cut into rectangles to make lasagne.
or roll by hind into short (2-4 cm) rolled strips as thick as a shoe-lace to make trofiette.

At this point the pasta can already be cooked, if it's fresh it cooks very, very quickly- a minute or two at the most- hardly anything! If not, you can leave it on the board under some kitchen tissue to dry- or you can leave it on your balcony under the sun to dry.

Just a warning, this is one of those things that seems easy and simple, but may take a little more practice. The first time I tried to make pasta it was like eating rubber! LOL!!!

Once you get the idea of making the pasta you can start to experiment by adding things to the dough- always chopped finely such as spinach to make green pasta or--- cuttlefish "ink"- to make black pasta (good with seafood).

[hatzel]

So I'll be resurrecting the whole tagliatelle and white sauce combo tonight. I'll be making what I call a pastitsio-kugel. That is to say, it would be a pastitsio, but I don't have any tubular pasta. So I'll just replace that with lokshen and hope it turns out basically okay :thumbup:

Recipe to follow after I've come up with it...

You can use that to make a pasta in forno... just layer it and use lots of besciamella. What else is in your recipe?

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

I'm reposting this for the sake of Noxion because it was a reply to his post... if no one minds.

Thanks for the recipes, I'll see if I can give them a go sometime.

As for my own recipe, no of course it's not traditional. However, it was taught to me by my mother, among other recipes which I'm proud to have acquired from her. Especially since it seems that all too many people of my generation have no ability to cook anything more complicated than a pot noodle.

I will also admit that I have a fondness for fried and/or strong flavours that may not gel well with the more delicate approach of some regional cuisines. Perhaps that's why Indian foods are another firm favourite of mine, with it's ghee and array of powerful spices.

At first i was thinking you might be refering to a disgusting horror flick i heard about recently.

[PhoenixAsh]

Have one of mine...



Ok. So you now have the fish meat.....pike-perch (there were pictures)


You then poach (pocheren) the fish in strong flavored white wine and water in which you also put three lemon slices and three broken laurel leaves (laurier blaadjes). You poach it for about four minutes. Take out the fish and you let it cool!

You take two avocado's. Cut them in two nice even pieces. Scoup out the meat. And sprinkle the halves with a few drops of lemon. Not too much.

You then put the avocado meat in a sieve. Put in tabasco (few drops), salt and pepper, two or three spoons of mayonaise, one pressed garlic toe. You then press everything through the sieve. Stir what you have captured to a nice even mouse.

You then take one table spoon of lemon juice. 2 table spoons of oil. One knife point of mustard. Salt and peper. Put it on a small bottle and shake. This is the vinegrette.

Cut the cooled Pike-perch in tiny pieces. remove any bones you encounter. Cut six black olives in small pieces.

Stir the Pike-perch, olive and vinegrette. Scoop this into the avocado shells.

Put the avocado mouse in a bag. Cut the point and make pour it over the filled avocado's in a nice little form.

Finish by garnishing it with one half of a black olive.

Done!

Pike-perch is slightly expensive...since you buy the fish whole...but depending on the fish size...this is enough four four person.

You can also substitue pike-perch for similar fish...like Cod or Seawolf. or you can mix these fishes....to get even more flavor

[PhoenixAsh]

Today the world was fucking cruel to me and conspired against me!

I am however not allowed to explain in detail.

Suffices to say that somebody previously had pleaded for my help with a university project and I promissed to help them this morning...a promise which I intended to keep (simply because I didn't have their number and couldn't cancel!!!!) but didn't count on something....a very, very surpising and unexpected (which I can't explain why) turn of events this morning which grew out of a situation which transpired last night. So after a huge interal struggle....I decided that I could not negate on a promise. (again...because I had no fucking phone number to cancel)....

AND THEN THEY HAD THE FUCKING GUTS TO CANCEL ON ME WHEN I WAS ALREADY HALF WAY ON MY WAY TO KEEP MY PROMISE AND APPOINTMENT...

AAAAAAAAARGH

:mad::mad::mad:

[hatzel]

So I've renamed my recipe. It's now officially called "hasidic pastitsio," so named because, although many of the basic ingredients suggest it should be somewhat Eastern Mediterranean, the slight modifications mean it still retains a remarkably European feeling. And if you get that joke, then you're coolio. Anyway, this is what we're talking about here...

http://i56.tinypic.com/2hp1zpy.jpg

So pretty much just cooked tagliatelle at the bottom with either a couple of eggs or your preferred replacement as binding at the bottom, and then the meaty filling on top of that, and then more tagliatelle, and then either the normal white sauce or the white sauce with cheese in to top it off. I mean, béchamel or mornay. As I assume three of the four layers are pretty self-explanatory (whaddaya mean you don't know the mother sauces?! :blink:), I'll just do the middle one...

Get a frying pan. Put some olive oil in it. Slice an onion and put it in it. And as many cloves of garlic as you want. Fry that with salt, pepper, cinnamon, allspice and cumin (of course I'm very specific with the amounts here...but don't go easy on the spices...). When it's softened up, put in some minced lamb, or your preferred substitute. Add Worcestershire sauce or that thing Germans eat or whatever else you want, or in fact nothing of the sort. When the meat is fried, add a few roughly diced tomatoes. Or tomato purée. Or just chuck a can/carton in, see if I care. Then just layer them up, slap it in a moderate oven, 45 minutes. Take out. Eat. Job done.

Git shobbes, peeps!

[ComradeMan]

When the meat is fried, add a few roughly diced tomatoes..

It would probably be nicer if you simmered it rather than fry it. You should put the tomatoes first, then the meat- but apart from that, yeah- it sounds like a great recipe.

That reminds me, it often seems to be the case that "wholefoods" are more expensive than their processed counterparts. But why? Surely such foods should be cheaper because they undergo far less processing?

[ComradeMan]

That reminds me, it often seems to be the case that "wholefoods" are more expensive than their processed counterparts. But why? Surely such foods should be cheaper because they undergo far less processing?

The rationale given is for a number of reasons. Lack of pesticides and herbicides = reduced crops, then the lack of processing by machine means it's done by hand = increased cost, and the amount that can be sold on a market dominated by processed foods from the big companies = increased expense.

It depends though, I buy a lot of stuff from the market and it's not so expensive and most of it is fairly "whole".

I forgot about mechanical vs manual labour, which is generally more expensive even if you're paying someone halfway across the world a few pennies a week to do it.

Economies of scale are another factor, I would imagine - industrialisation and the mechanisation of labour lends itself well to the production of very large quantities.

Although this was mainly prompted by the prices of different kinds of bread in my local supermarket - wholemeal is usually more expensive than white, even though I would have thought that, all other things being equal, less processing was involved and therefore it should in fact be cheaper.


It depends though, I buy a lot of stuff from the market and it's not so expensive and most of it is fairly "whole".

Fruits and vegetables aren't that expensive (or at least the onions and garlic I buy aren't), but I crave deep-fried Mars bars more than bananas. :D

I'll be honest...I don't know what cooking words actually mean, but I assume that anything done in a frying pan is automatically frying...but then I fry everything, so...or maybe I don't...maybe I sauté stuff...what the hell's that when it's at home? :confused:


You should put the tomatoes first, then the meat
I don't know about meat, I don't eat it so I'm not 100% certain on what you're supposed to do with it...so if we rewrite it as "rehydrate your dehydrated soya mince in a pan with vegetable stock, and then throw it and the tomatoes in the thing and stir it for about a minute and then it's finished" then it would be closer to what I actually did :thumbup1: I'm just trying to cater to you people having to seal your meat or whatever it is you do so that it's not pink any more and you won't die of food poisoning...

[ComradeMan]

Asiago is my favorite kind of cheese.

I've never tried it, it comes from the Veneto area. What's it like?

[ComradeMan]

...

What I mean is, use more oil and cook at a lower temperature in general, that's all- not like frying chips.

Just a tip, start with the base of any sauce and work your way up, so if it's a tomato based ragù or sauce, start with tomatoes first.

I don't get how my shirt today has everybody, and yes I mean everybody, looking at it and complementing and smiling and laughing... and the fucking girl I wore it for to make her laugh didn't even fucking notice me today. I'm done with this shit, I'm not going to be a flirt whenever the fuck she feels like it and be shot down the next time I see her. I fucking hate these games... I'm gonna go drop the fucking barbell on my face. :mad:

[Robert]

Maybe she saw it and just didn't like it. And if she didn't, maybe she's not your type.

I don't care anymore. This shit always goes on this way, she's flirty one day and then the next she's cold as ice. Fuck that, I'm not a toy.

I don't think she is using you like a "toy". Even if it may feel like that, I doubt that is really what is going on. I don't think her attitude has anything to do with you, at least that is what I think looking in from the outside. If I had to guess I would say something is going on in her personal life. Maybe she's having family issues?

I wouldn't take her attitude personal. Give her a little more time and try and find out what's really going on. That is if you think she's worth it.

But as far as I can see, with the information provided, there is something else going on making her act distant on some days...

See I can understand her having personal problems, I'm loaded with them too. But I don't act all cold to her one day and all cute the next, I'm always vying for her attention and she knows it. Having personable problems isn't an excuse for messing with other people's emotions if you ask me. There are times where I want to be solitary and lash out, but I put on a nice smile and act as if everything is ok.

I agree, just because you have problems doesn't mean it's an excuse to act like a ***** to people. I understand. I doubt she understands what kind of affect her "coldness" is having on you. If she really knew you were seeing it like this I'm sure she would explain herself. Like I said, I don't think it's intentional, and I don't think she understands how you're intrepreting it. Plus, who knows what kind of personal problems she may be dealing with... it could be some heavy stuff.

I really think that she probably has no idea that she's messing with your emotions though. Sometimes when something is really bothering me I'm distant, quiet, and I'm completely absorbed in thought... thinking of nothing around me, just me and my thoughts. I bet she probably reacts a similiar way...

Obviously I don't know her so I am only speculating... I'm just trying to give you another view point, from a 3rd party. Maybe give you something to consider or think about... just trying to help :)

[Robert]

This [email protected]#$%^&* always goes on this way, she's flirty one day and then the next she's cold as ice. !

No, not "always." Otherwise you wouldn't have liked her in the first place.

I think you've got this whole thing over-analyzed to the point that you should stop trying to impress her and just be friendly. Wait for a really good vibe and smile. If she smiles back, ask her out.

If she doesn't, let her go. There are about 232 mega zillion other girls in the world, you know.

And besides, this one's a b---h, right?

I appreciate your viewpoint :] She does at time seem to daydream during lectures, but who doesn't. Maybe she doesn't care about anything further than just a friendship at best and acts that way because she doesn't really have anything to lose? I seriously hate fucking emotions, to the gulags with them :mad:

I'm not really trying to impress her, at least I don't feel like I am. Sure I dress better for her, but that's more of me just being more well kept in general. Leave it up to me to over analyze things, you do have a point there.

I think I'm just done with this back and forth shit though, time to bottle up whatever I feel and leave it at that. What doesn't help is that every time I seem to move on, she drags me back by showing something even if it is just a tiny sliver of something.

Who knows, she could be going through some things and doesn't have the "emotional energy" to think or consider a serious relationship right now. I didn't think about guys for over a year, a couple years back, after something bad happened to me. Of course I would talk to them, etc. but in terms of relationships, it didn't even occur to me.

As of right now I wouldn't invest anything into her. Sure, continue to talk to her, etc. but don't expect anything out of it. And maybe in the future she'll be more "into you" but if that doesn't happen then no big deal, you weren't counting on it anyway...

Emotions. Girls have them. A lot of them. And they make decisions with them a lot more than men do... count on it. Adapt. :lol:

I have often wondered about that myself. With the pike-perch it is because you by the fish by the ounce....but can only buy an intact complete fish. And they measure the fish in total....bones and stuff and all.
The reason that I would think that they're more expensive is because you lose more in production when you don't process things. I would think that because using preservatives you can preserve a whole lot more and thus they sell it cheaper.

Went to my first ever protest today :D Really fun, met someone from Revleft on accident who was really cool. First person I've ever met irl from online.

You know...you never accepted my facebook friend request... :thumbdown:

[#FF0000]

Why aren't you guys facebook friends with me? :mellow:

[#FF0000]

Positive thing about working in a shitty warehouse job: physical exercise and the self-esteem boost from being "that guy" who they call to pick up heavy things.

#FF0000: big tuff mans

[Robert]

While you were throwing boxes for The Man, esteemed #FF, I was fomenting counter-revolution at Occupy Dallas.

I had a few lively debates, my companion even more, with the attendees. It was pretty tepid stuff. Mostly love hippies with bongos and guitars, some of them with some nice Eastern music vibes. No shirts, and I hope the fair skinned guys among them knew to use sunscreen. One of the event organizers we met, a poet in real life and a beautiful person, wanted more "sharing," as he said. My companion, who grew up in a communist country (not the Paris Commune) was wary but curious: "who's gonna share what with whom?"

"I want everyone in the whole WORLD to share!" he answered. I don't say that in derision. We dug the guy immensely because of his openness, sincerity, enthusiasm and evident goodwill toward all men. The thing is, I asked if he wanted to see this "sharing" policy implemented through existing institutions. "Oh yes," he said, "I LOVE this country!":mellow:

He was therefore something of a cross between my excellent friends, Revolution Starts with You and ... Bud Struggle. I told him he should consider politics. He said he would one day, and that he would write an oath in his own blood not to become corrupted by the system. He was utterly credible. Informed, firm, good hearted.

If there were any Marxists, they weren't conspicuous.

Almost everyone was smoking cigarettes. We talked to a cop who said "they're all against the tobacco companies and they all smoke." :lol:

The most unpleasant encounter was with two casually dressed -- casual in a "The Gap" kind of way -- 30-somethings on the street corner with signs condemning corporate greed. Their gripe was with "effective tax rates," "hedge fund managers" paying too little as compared to the "middle class." (Not "the working class," I congratulated myself for noting.)

They too wanted reform through existing institutions, so that the rich would pay "their fair share."

And all of a sudden I felt I understood why communists find liberals so disgusting.

[Ocean Seal]

And all of a sudden I felt I understood why communists find liberals so disgusting.
That's not why I personally despise them. I despise them because they believe that everything that the Democratic party is doing is good, even when its something which they would immediately condemn if it were the Republicans. I just can't stand this immense flaw in critical thinking.

Bush invades Iraq
Uses weapons of mass destruction and removing a dictator as his excuse
Liberals say that its clearly to steal the oil.
Obama bombs Libya
Uses removing a dictator as his excuse
Liberals believe him, hook, line, and sinker.

And of course the second reason why I hate them is because they think that I'm one of them...

[Bud Struggle]

They too wanted reform through existing institutions, so that the rich would pay "their fair share."

And all of a sudden I felt I understood why communists find liberals so disgusting.

That was a great report, Robert.

I must say as much as I think there Commies haven't got a snowball's chance in hell I definitely prefer them to "Liberals."

At least the Commies want to change the world to be better for everybody unlike the Liberals who seem to just want more for themselves.

[Robert]

It's amazing how commies give Liberals more grief than us, Bud, we with our breezy, cheery optimism.

Red Brother says: I despise [liberals] because they believe that everything that the Democratic party is doing is good, even when its something which they would immediately condemn if it were the Republicans.

Why doesn't he say why he hates conservatives first? I mean I'm sure he does, but why doesn't he make a point of saying so?

Hey, that's fine. I wub being wubbed by commies.:wub:

No, that does not mean I like being "rubbed".

IT DOES NOT EITHER!

[Revolution starts with U]

Ya, consider the recent murder of Al-zawhari (What was his name, can't remember, dont feel like looking it up?)
Liberals at one time were crying about how bad the patriot act was because it takes away due process. But, Obama uses it to murder someone, and its okay because Obama did it... wtf?

Like Skooma said in his sig at one point; people largely believe what they believe for social reasons, not because they really understand what they are talking about.

[Robert]

Quotin' Skooma now, are we Rev?

Inducting you into the Country Club will be the happiest of days. After we place the silk sash around your shoulders and toast your good health, we'll throw darts, drink gin tonics, and talk orchids all day.

As long as you don't take my incessantly re-explaining how we are all a bunch of assholes and tyrants as too much of a buzzkill :lol: . But save the gin-tonic. Give me a Caribou Lou; 151, Malibu Rum, and Pineapple Juice :Doublethumbs:

(And worry not about those hoodlums in the parking lot. That's just my posse. Stay good w me and you have nothing to worry about ;))

No, but seriously, I am far more interested in the truth spoken, than in who spoke (spake?) it?

You do the sash? We do the fez and the velvet smoking jackets. We do talk orchids, though. Unfurtunately there are some that grow wild in Florida so that the Proletarians walking through the forests can see them. We have a committee to spray them with a weed/orchid killer--so only those of the Bourgeoisese can enjoy them. :D

Here's the BEST Capitalist speach ever given. Really. It expalains everything you have to do to get rich. Everything. Follow Alic Baldwin's advice and you'll be a millionaire.

No question's asked--just do it. With a few caveats I did it and it worked for me. (I was able to trade a bit of charm for agressivness.)

And I personally do drive a Hundai.

Welp, looks like I'm getting paid late. Would be baller if people didn't walk into my room and lose my shit so this wouldn't happen. It'd also be baller if there wasn't this silly, convoluted system in place for me to get paid in the first place, thanks to my "customer" (the warehouse, as I'm a temp there) doesn't want to shell out the money for punch cards.

But mainly it'd be awesome if people didn't touch the things in my room and understood that my sort of organized is not the same as theirs.

Has anyone here lived in/visited modern day Russia? I am considering visiting Moscow over the summer due to the stories I have heard about their night life and women. I also think the history, architecture, and culture is interesting as well. The only thing that is dogging me on this is the fact that I have heard they hate Americans and the poverty is visible to a degree unimaginable by most Americans. Anyone know for sure?

Yeah Russia is fucking horrible actually. There was this kid who transferred from the University of Moscow at my school and all he had to saw was how horrific Russia is. Prostitution, poverty, and a drug epidemic that makes crack look like kids stealing sips from dad's liquor stash. Bring an extra pair of jeans, tho. People will offer you cash for jeans.

I don't know how you could stand being in a club there, though. Rich Muscovites are basically human garbage.

But this is all second-hand info from a student from Moscow, so.

Well Fallout 3 was one of my favorite video games ever and Russia kinda sounds like it. In fact if I move to Russia with one maxim "Do exactly as you would do in fallout 3 if this were a video game" then maybe I could be really successful.

As for clubs, idk if the people are trash. But the drug and poverty problems would probly get to me.

I am going there in November. Moscow is supposed to be a BIG party city. (I'm not that big of a party guy--but we'll see.) It probably is not have as bad as Commies say and not half as good as the Cappies say.

Anyway, I'll report back.

Yeah...he kind of does because he doesn't do the selling...you may have noticed. And we in fact have to assume that if he was ever good at selling he no longer provides his income by doing so but by making others sell....apparantly by bullying and ineffective management techniques.

In fact his management style would get him fired in the most selfrespecting capitalist organisation since he is basically burning assets and wasting recruitment money and investment...not to mention potential income. But hey...lets not talk about those costs and losses.

[Lobotomy]

So you'd actually sell jeans to poor people in a desperate situation for cash? Hmmmm.... how capitalistic. Why not take some extra stuff to give to people who are needy? :unsure:

That was sorta tongue-in-cheek but I don't know if that is exactly the situation. I think that people who buy the jeans are more or less hustlers who will pay ridiculous amounts to sell resell them for ridiculous amounts. I don't think it is people desperate for clothes.

The point wasn't his technique. It's his drive. He makes things happen and he makes other people make things happen. Money, even fairly large amounts of it are easy to obtain if you find a way for even larger amount of money change hands. And I think while Alec Baldwin's speech is over the top in what he actually says--it's not that far off in what it implies i.e. sales guys that don't produce get fired and the ones that do produce makes lots of money. Personally I think a sales person, no matter where he works, that can't make at least $100,000 should change professions.

The other things is that at least personally I think its harder to make money--real money--in corporations. There are only a few spots at the top. The best way to make money if to do it for yourself.

Damn you corporate types... you're ruining the atmosphere in here....

This is true, but the hard part I think is getting started. I assume you are referring to starting your own business, but the problem is finding one that can really take off and also acquiring the necessary start up funds. I think if you do your homework and the necessary market research, you can operate a successful business as long as you are willing to put in a lot of work. But that is just going to just provide you with a decent standard of living. I for one don't want a decent standard of living, I want to get rich.

He is now about 8 months old and 80 pounds of muscle.

[PhoenixAsh]

that will be...lets see...

0.25 ct per click. with 10% for tax. $200 for benefits and pretaxt expenses. $300 dollars for unexpected repeat costs and overhead expenses. $10 for this bill and administrative costs.

But I will give you a slight discount because you are my first client.

So we will total the amount you owe me at a nice $500...cash please. :)

The bueraucrats in the Mutual Rep society represent a growing oligarchy in the field of rep. In the opposition to the rep status quo they represented a light unto the world for brotherhood and progress!
Now they talk of "no naps" "cornering markets" and "milking it for what it is worth." They are even praising the exploits of known tyrant Bud Struggle!

Well, it's an historical event I suppose.... Perhaps it age, but I still remember when there was no end in sight to the Cold War, the Berlin Wall, apartheid, Ghaddaffi was in power and Saddam was on "our" side.... so... all things come to pass... :ohmy:... of and of course there was the seemingly "perennial" Ghaddaffi.

I just hope the Libyan people don't turn on each other given the different factions, the power vacuum and the doubtless settling of scores that accompany these kinds of events.... I'm not too optimistic to be honest, but let's hope.

I heard an old story, I don't how true it is, that hotdogs are so named because of a bad translation from Italian.

Welcome to OI! So you are not a "perfect RevLeft Commie" which is good--it means you can think for yourself--at least a bit. Now hand around with me and Rovert and a couple of the other regular Cappies around here and lean the OTHER SIDE of what is actually going on and you'll little by little understand the realities of the world and become a good Capitalsit yourself--you'll no doubt make a couple of million bucks and have a good life for yourself.

I don't know how many hundreds of "Commies sent to OI for some meaningless infraction" we've comverted to Capitalism, but it's been a lot. That's our job here. So you just sit back and listen and learn and in no time at all you'll be listening to Rush Limbaugh riding down the highway in your Bentley GT Continental with your fashion model wife heading to your 10 million dollar house.

Alec Baldwin defends capitalism, banks at Occupy Wall Street protest

Alec Baldwin visited the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City this week, where he found himself defending the very institutions the demonstrators are protesting: Banks, capitalism and the rich.

"You have to have capital markets in this country," Baldwin said. "You can't not have strong capital markets in this country or this country is going to go down the tubes. ... Capitalism is worthwhile and capitalism demands the flow of money. ... You want the banks to do what the banks do."
