I saw that on the news this morning and it was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. That guy's probably an illegal who crossed over through Texas earlier in the year and was shipped to DC. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Hello, I am a 5000 year old wise sage, I am an old skinny man who is 5 '2' and eats only one meal a day while always smiling, and I smoke a pack of really terrible smelling Chinese cigarettes a day with old logos on the outside yes indeed.
We read in the chronicles of the Capuchin Fathers, that there lived in Venice a celebrated advocate, who, by fraud and evil practices, had become rich His whole life was very bad, and it appears that he had but one good habit, that of reciting every day a certain prayer to the holy Virgin. Yet, even this little devotion saved him from eternal death, through the mercy of Mary. It happened in this way: Happily for himself, he had a great esteem for Father Matthew da Basso, and urged him so much to come and dine at his house., that one day the Father gave him this pleasure. Having arrived, the advocate said to him? "Now, Father, I will show you something that you have never seen. I have a wonderful ape, who is my valet, washes my glasses, lays the table, and opens the door." "This may not be an ape," answered the Father: "it may be something more than an ape; order him to come here." The ape was called again and again, search was made for him everywhere, and he could not be found. At length, he was discovered hidden under a bed in the lower part of the house, but he would not come out. "Come, then," said the religious, "let us go and see him:" and he went with the advocate to his hiding-place. "Infernal beast," he said, "come forth, and in the name of God I command you to tell me what you are." And behold, the ape answered that he was the devil, and that he was waiting until that sinner should omit some day to recite his accustomed prayer to the mother of God; for the first time he should omit it, God had given him leave to strangle him? and take him to hell. At these words the advocate cast himself upon his knees to ask help of the servant of God, who encouraged him, and commanded the devil to depart from that house without committing any injury, only he gave him permission, as a sign that he had really gone, to break a piece of the wall. Scarcely had he finished speaking, when, with a great crash, a hole was made in the wall, which, although it was several times closed with stone and mortar, God willed that it should remain open for a long time; until, by the advice of the servant of God, it was filled up with a slab of marble, with an angel carved on it. The advocate was converted, and, it is to be hoped, persevered until death in his new course of life.
Thought: If I'm buying shincha and the product listing says "radiation-free," it makes me want to ignore that listing even if it's actually a good quality tea.
Not because I necessarily want cancer, but because it sounds like advertising to idiots.
Anyone got a nice source/suggestion? Also going to buy some sencha (non-first-harvest), but I'm a little less concerned about getting ripped off there.
Seemingly unobtainium in-person where I am. Though I have found 'meh' tier Japanese green teas as well.
Also will be getting genmaicha, but I'm very unconcerned there. I rarely have a genmaicha I don't like for what it is.
I think I'll try the saemidori cultivar, if it specifies, but up for trying anything you think is good.

If you don't already have gas burners, switching to a gas stove in your kitchen is a big deal. Your ventilation system will need to be more robust than what you had for your electric stove. That's because if you have an airtight house, your ventilation system will add in new air for the gas burners and have an exhaust hood to evacuate the rising smoke so that it doesn't redeposit on the walls, ceilings, or drift into other parts of the house. I am not a fan of kitchen island gas stove "hoodless" setups. They just don't suck down the bursts of smoke that rise up when you make abrupt cooking movements on the grill. I think it would save time and expense to add an outdoor grill. That grill no longer needs you to install a large ventilation system for the smoke.

If you already have gas burners, buy flat plate grill add-ons for your stove instead of adding another grill stove. Even Costco sold those flat plate add-ons for a short while. It was a rectangular plate that had risers to set it above your gas burners. You pull out the original supports above the burners for your cooking pots and replace them with this plate and its standoffs. The cooking surface is thus nearly the same height as your burners with the pots on top with maybe a inch more height.

Carlin was a hippidedippie activist liberal progressive though.
He was Joe Rogan's predecessor, talks a lot of shit but is afraid of getting punched or shot at.
He was a full on hippiedippie until early 90s, changed the writing style at 'Jammin' in NY '91' and honed that style until his death. My impression of him was he held a strong hate for people. Fair but cynical. I had to look up liberal progressive. All I know is everyone is crazy.
Rogen is gay as hell, can't shut up about hunting elk. Good dude. listened to him for the first time when all the hate for vaccine talk blew up on him
