Just Paintballs? Wusses ;-)

SpeedLimit-400x300

*heh*

A group of Durham (N.C.) residents taking aim at speeders with the threat of a paintball gun said Tuesday that they are “amazed and gratified at the reaction.”

The group, Angry Neighbors With Paintball Guns, posted signs at strategic locations throughout the city, warning motorists to slow down or risk being shot at with a paintball gun.

But, of course, the local cop shop which is apparently NOT ameliorating the problem thinks it’s a bad idea all around. Can’t have citizens doing what they’re unwilling and/or unable to do:

[Kammie] Michael (Durham, N.C. police spokes”person”) said it is a crime to shoot a paintball at a vehicle and that the signs could be a distraction for some drivers and make the problem worse.

Yeh, the sign’s a problem. Could be “a distraction”. *throws the bullshit flag* How will it be any more distracting than the speed limit signs that are being ignored, eh? Now, that’s a stupid cop. *sigh*

Have You Been SPAMmed by Barry Soetoro?

Like many SPAMmers, Barry Soetoro claimed recently that he doesn’t know how people he SPAMmed got on his email list–maybe some mythical, “reality-based fantasy” third-party group put them there (ya think his fishy@whitehouse.gov site had anything to do with collecting addresses to SPAM? Say it ain’t so, Joe).

"Uh, uh, uh, I dunno, a-huh, a-huh... "

If you were SPAMMED by Barry Soetoro, why not report his ass to spam@uce.gov? Heck, if he’s convicted, maybe the fedgov will even pay you a bounty… (Fat chance)

N.B., the fedgov so narrowly defines SPAM that A CHANCE OF getting Barry’s ass spanked by the FTC is vanishingly small.

N.B. #2: Barry’s also implementing measures–he admits in public, with spin of course–that will block online petitions. “We don’t want The People petitioning the government ‘for a redress of grievances’,” he admitted. Well, he might as well have said that, since his orifice, urm office, DID say, “The White House indicated its Web site managers are going to seek out and block online petitions… “

Lil Kitchen Tip

While I have a wealth of cutting boards now, for quite some time we made do with a “practice” cutting board of mahogany that I’d made when I was in seventh grade (as a gift for my grandmother).

(Click to enbiggen the pic 🙂 )

While using it exclusively for all our kitchen cutting n chopping, I devised a simple method that made things go a bit faster in the kitchen. When the pig’s facing right, cut veggies. When it’s facing left, cut meats. Sure, I still had to clean the pig–and the counter it was on–after use, but I didn’t have to clean it WHILE in use. No matter which I started cutting frirst, the veggies/meats were kept to different surfaces, as long as I cut all of either veggies or meats at once.

Later, our collection grew, of course (including the walnut/maple cutting board the mahogany one was practice for, as my mom had decided her “new”, smaller kitchen needed utensil/tools downsizing), but the habit’s remained and has continued to be a useful streamlining habit.

BTW, that’s my two fav chef’s knives shown. An older Chicago cutlery knife that’s still in very good condition and a newer (only about 20 years old, now) Sabatier-before-Sabatier-was-devalued-by-WallyWorld that was an anniversary present from my Wonder Woman to me. (Last year, when Sabatier was still seliling directly online, this model was priced at $107, but I’m sure she didn’t pay that much 20 years ago.) She knows I loves me knives. *arrgh!* 🙂

Greenie Sheeple

Greenie self-lobotomized dumbasses=~90% of the “movement” IMO.

Then again, perhaps I’m being too generous. Surely there can’t be 10% of greenies who are wittingly deceiving folks?

Look for the Union Label

If you run into thugs attempting to stifle free speech at a townhall meeting, just look for the union label:

look-for-the-union-label


Just check YouTube for “SEIU ACORN violence (or thugs) at townhall” for slews of videos.

Or, if you want some easy-greasy-sleazy money and can buff up your physique while dumbing down your intellect to the level of slime mold, you could apply to be an “SEIU organizer” and go around playing thug at townhall meetings, yourself!

Green Pork Stew

N.B. This is a variation on a recipe whose name shall go unmentioned, because I’m pissed off at Mexico (and Mexican nationals) in general for encouraging and actively aiding an invasion of this country, so, as much as is possible, I’m deleting my knowledge and use of Spanish in general and any remotely positive Mexican references in particular from my vocabulary.

Ingredients:

28oz can of green sauce (avoiding the “e” word) or an equal amount of pureed green chiles.
8oz can of green chiles
1.5 pound pork roast, fully cooked and cubed
1 chopped yellow onion
16oz (or thereabouts) can of cannelini beans, rinsed and drained
16oz (or thereabouts) can of either white hominey or plain white corn–with liquid
1/2 cup rice
1 cup water

Prep:

Sautee the onions and brown the cubed, pre-cooked pork roast. Add everything to a slow cooker and let it come together for a while; use your best judgement. Eat with gusto. (Make your own gusto to taste.)

Next time, I plan on making this with beer substituted for the liquids–the plain water and water from the corn or hominey cans. A nice light ale to start, I think, though the recipe as is goes well with a medium amber ale with just a touch of hopsiness.
