For anyone who didn't watch the NY Marathon yesterday, you missed one of the greatest finishes ever with Paul Tergat just beating Hendrick Ramaala by one step.
But the reason for this post was Jelena Prokopcuka's (the Women's Division winner) quote of what inspired her to win. Referring to a competitor she said:
"I got confident and I knew I could win when I saw her vomiting"It inspired me, too...to get lunch.
There are all kinds of people in the world and they are into all kinds of "interesting" behaviors but for this women's lawyer to indicate that gluing a man's genitals to his abdomen was part of "adventurous, consensual sex" is a bit beyond comprehension.
Been watching Firefly on DVD (just finished Disc 2). I almost hurt my self on these lines:
Saffron (naked in Mal's room): I do know my Bible, Sir. "On the night of their betrothal the wife shall open to the man as the furrow to the plow and he shall work in her, in and again, till she bring him to his full and rest him then upon the sweat of her breast."
Mal (in a daze): Oh. Good Bible.
Saffron: I'm not skilled, sir, nor a pleasure to look upon.
Mal: Saffron.
Then I fell off the couch, injuring my knee but my, uh, plow was undamaged.
I made a couple of adjustments from the recipe. I used cocoa powder/sugar/butter instead of bittersweet chocolate and baked this baby at 300 without a water bath for 1 hour and then another hour at 250 and another just sitting in the oven, the whole time with a big pan of water on the bottom rack.
And now it's in the fridge and I won't have piece until tomorrow. Oh, the humanity.
Please call first if you're coming over. ;)
I made one of these a couple years ago and it was sooo good. I think I'll make another this weekend. Drool, drool, drool.
If you happened to read today's Buckley column (and I don't recommend it) you will likely be stumped by the use of the word "tricoteuses".
After much research, it would appear that this is French for "knitter". If only I knew the French word for "pompous ass", I could perfectly describe further what I think of this.
Wow. Have you seen Sen. Frist going on about the Democrats forcing a closed session of the Senate?
"The United States Senate has been hijacked by the Democratic leadership," said Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee.Man, you'd think they shoved a hot poker up his ass or something. It's the freaking end of the world. How dare they! Didn't they get that Republican mandate memo!
"[the]move violated the Senate's tradition of courtesy and consent."But it'll be perfectly fine to change the Senate rules to not allow a filibuster of a judge nomination.
