lol I love the ears nose and tail on the thought-piggybacker...not that this kind of thing is funny. Ever.

Indeed. Also, wow. Pat may be just as neurotic as Roast Beef sometimes. Also, the bit with Ray and the Torch/flash light is class. Poor Ray. Not his fault he got a sense of humour on, dawg.

i think your life could do with a little more Paying Attention.

Change shoes twice, so they won't recognize you by your shoes.

Footprints have been accepted as good evidence in English criminal proceedings since the middle ages, I am reliably informed. There is a special section in the police manuals on how to handle them. I am not making this up.

Juan Carlos Juan's IMDB entry is woefully incomplete.

Two words "Fake Hat"

i love the detached box about the vegan cornish got-game hens

Not just hens, heñs. Although to pronounce it you need to be some sort of Spanish black belt.

And do clawed swan-dives off the ring netting onto some unsuspecting shoto-clone?

I've always read it as hen-yays {the squiggly n is called an enyay (that's spelled phonetically, of course)}, and with that pronunciation, it's actually quite a clever name for a dish.

with that pronunciation, it's actually quite a clever name for a dish.

How so?

Hen? Yay!

The closest way I could write out how that looks to me would be hen-y's, since there's no vowel between the tilde-n and the s.

i think it actually sounds like a pretty great recipe, how do i get in touch with this pat fella? ? ?

Screw pat, he is a dick to all people. Instead, try this:

-Two dozen (possibly more) jalapeno peppers
-A whole onion (white)
-A boneless breast of chicken (marinated and grilled)
-Mustard (of your choice)
-1-2 Tablespoons of hot sauce (of your choice)
-Coarse salt
-Olive Oil
-Scallions

De-stem and split the peppers, scoop out all veins and seeds. Salt the insides a little, and set aside while you do the rest- 30 minutes tops.
Take the onion and cut it into quarters, and then slice those into thin wedges. The result should be large paranthetical (like these) arcs of onion.
Using a saute or grill pan, grill the onion-pieces until they gain some translucency and color- But not too deep, or they will burn easily. Take the onions off of the heat, allow them to cool, and then chop into small pieces.
Take the cooked chicken and shred with two forks until you have a large pile of shredded meat.
Mix the mustard and hot sauce until you reach a good consistency, and toss with the onions and the shredded chicken- This is the filling.

Using a paper towel, soak any liquid off of the jalapeno halves (it will be pulled out by salt).
Brush a grilling pan (or similar) with oil, and grill the jalapenos until they darken just a little- Feel free to fiddle with temperature, but the if you use a grill pan, medium-high / 6 is effective.
Take the pan off of the heat WITHOUT removing the jalapenos. Stuff each half with the filling, and then use diced scallions to top. Put the pan on a hot plate directly on to the table, so the residual heat warms the filling.

Can be topped with shredded sharp chedder if you wish.
Back-to-vegan: Thinly slice crimini mushrooms to replace the chicken, skip the cheese.

Lemme know if it turns out well!

Ray is an asinine man

Best part.

This narrowly edges out Vlad as my favorite flowchart for two reasons: the "Hot Busboy Nights" exchange, and Ray.

I love how Pat's moral dilemmas are so complicated that he needs to connect his thoughts on protesting balloon stores and renting documentaries via a Warp Zone.

and i personally am a fan of the k-tech multi what balancer. that alone says more about pat's thought process than hours of expository dialogue could accomplish

what about bus-boy-on-hostess?

I think you're missing the point of gay porn.

I used to be a waiter at El Chico, which pretty much sucked, but we had this one hostess there who was just all kinds of crazy hot. What I wouldn't have given to have bent her over that hostess podium and just gone to town...

i knew an attractive female co-worker who i wanted to have sexual intercourse in multiple positions once as well! small world!

why only once?

Yeah, I'm not really sure why I posted that. It really does little to enrich anyone's life.

That girl was really hot, though.

Why does he need an octopus costume?

To symbolize the horrible tentacles of big business, I suppose. You used to see that kind of imagery in harsh political woodcuts of the 19th century.

To emphasize how delightfully phallic the tentacles are.

DAMN it! DAMMIT! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! FUCK THE WORLD!

hugs?

I think I know a lot of people who have that thought piggybacker permanently turned on. Pretty insightful of Onstad to accurately depict it as stemming from a general assholish desire for superiority rather than some kind of social benevolence.

Today's Blogs

Ray: That chump.
Roast Beef: I was all hoi polloi and low
Lyle: alright so whatev er
Onstad: Bacon No. 1: First Taste
Nice Pete: I have been on a Book Tour.

Beef's blog is one that comes to mind frequently when i'm in a high-falutin' "restaurant".

Pat has the most confusing flowchart.

I hate Pat

The k-tech multi what balancer is like the BOSCH K-TRONIC fuel injection system. The delorean had one of these.

i thought that was just a Mr. Presto or some jazz.

A man should be able to rent a video for another man fucking yet another man. Pat, you should not feel such dread, you stupid asshole.

Yeah and Roast Beef should stop being depressed, the lazy bastard!

Shut up, or I'll look at you.

Boo!

you cant do shit to those guys, jumping, fireballs nothin

Stars, Hammers, Power Button.

It's so complicated.

Ha! Pa had a coda.

it needs to read the same backwards and forwards to be a palindrome. But 'a doc a dah a pah' is kinda fun to say. Maybe Polynesian cursing. "Your mom's snatch smells like a shell a dead hermit crab has rotted in for a month." (Most Polynesian languages have at least 43 words for "a dead hermit crab" and "your mom's snatch." No offense to my Samoan and Tongan bros.)
