Is that really snow in your avatar?
There was a time when we had snows in our avatars but I can't recall who made them for us.
Yeah, I knew about the problem with the Liberty ships. Many of them were made just 75 miles from where I live. There is Liberty ship kept at San Francisco's Fishermans Wharf.Quote:

I'm getting 150Mbps off of my extender in my room, which is where I work out of, and roughly 300Mbps in the living room, which is where the modem is.
Compared to what I had, my internet is blazing fast!
I'm supposed to be getting "up to" 400mbps but in reality it's usually less than half that unless it's 3-4am. Still beats the 20-25 mbps I was paying $10/month more than I am now. It's that "up to" phrase that gives them the excuse.Quote:

I'd show you my long fiber optic, but then i would get banned again :bigyello:Quote:

Anybody who talks in micrometers...well, that just seems like it is too petty to be banned over.
If time arouses Bonker, I wonder what Jacob whipping out his long fiber optic will do to him.
You guys really know how to twist long things around into really thin pensi's. Think we use to call them pensi's to avoid ban hammers back in the ol' vbforum days.Quote:

What you wrote is the textual equivalent of superman putting on those stupid glasses: As if that would fool ANYONE.
Now that I think about it, which I admit I haven't before, if what Superman was doing would work, then anytime I put on my sunglasses, everybody would think I was a stranger.
Not that they don't think I'm strange, just not stranger.
That's an odd post to start a page...
Saw a hedgehog last night crossing the 'lawn' (an area of moss, clover and weeds that gets cut and looks green). Are they getting ready to hibernate already if they know that a bad winter is coming?
Perhaps it was just hedging it's bet?
Or hogging more land.
Whether hedging or hogging, it was out there.
Well it was going towards a hedge

Let's not go there.
Perhaps you can't call Hastur by saying his name three times....but why try?
I already dealed with hastur...
That looks more like octopotamus rather than Hastur.
My trolling is on point today. Much pats on back.
Yep, I confound with Cthulhu but not a problem as long as I can accommodate it :cool::DQuote:

Nice pun :thumb: Frankly, I prefer small squid to octopus. I think octopus is too ruberry, so if I eat the whole dish, I'd rather be Mister Fantastic ;)
My views on squid are mixed. I tend to like calamari, but when it comes to sashimi, squid is one of the few I dislike, while I'm a sucker for octopus. I'm not sure what part of the squid is offered up, but it tastes...odd, to me. It seems like I SHOULD like it, but I just don't.
Does it taste fishy?
that's strange because squid and calamari are the same (at least in France).
usually you eat the body either stuffed or in fried round slice. in France you can also eat the tentacles either in salad or fried.
I like them stuffed (with rice and spice but you need a good recipe) but I usually eat them fried. I am not very fond of the tentacles but it really depends of the recipe.
The best calamari I've ever had was in St. Thomas at a Marriott. They were literally catching it at the dock off the main kitchen. It was phenomenal.
Yeah, squid and calamari are the same thing in the US, as well, but what you get as sashimi...I'm just not sure what part of the animal that is. For that matter, though it is called squid, since I can't recognize what part of the animal it is...I suppose it might not really be squid at all. There is no law about common names for seafood.
Another possibility is that it is like "tuna". Yeah, it's a fish, but it's actually an order of fish with many species under that umbrella term. Some tuna can be farm raised, others can't. Some are prized delicacies...others are farm raised. Perhaps the "squid" sashimi isn't the same squid used in calamari.
And then there's pig bung...
I've watched too many episodes of Fear Factor of people eating that. It looks disgusting and their reactions seem to confirm that it is.Quote:

The former, unfortunately. There was a podcast where people were trying to figure out whether calamari was really calamari because they had heard of pig bung being passed off as calamari.
I suspect that if you were told you were eating pig bung, that would result in a stronger reaction than if you were told you were eating calamari.
This post is only here because I seem to be posting in threes.
