Long list of possible uses for spoiled rhubarb. Segue into hard boiled eggs, their presentation, variations and uses in religious settings, followed by an in-depth analysis of the laws of kashrut and a passing mention of WMDs (making an unintentional but funny joke).
Requisite "You never know when they'll turn up."
Profuse apology. Lame excuse. False promise that will never do this again. One of the missing ingredients for recipe with incoherent measurement. Apology.
Re D.'s reference to "lunch", long, complicated but delicious sounding recipe (with only one or two ingredients omitted).
You're welcome, Teresa. Glad to hear about your link (although I'm enough of a Luddite that I had to think through what a "nofollow tag" was :-) )
A kind of meta-troll group?
I agree that they are probably not serious, but my guess is that they are organized trolls. Here's an entry from the blog of one of their members. I wouldn't be surprised if getting a blogger of any sort to respond to their blog is probably what they're looking for.
Best,
Alice
I read the post and it made me think of the old Doonesbury cartoon (in a different but similar context):
Guilty, guilty, guilty...
My mother claims that there is a department dedicated to discontinuing any style that actually fits--it's affiliated with the department dedicated to discontinuing useful tools. To my dismay, I've discovered that the department now discontinues any fashion that fits me as well.
Oh, and as a short woman, I also resort to hemming.
Well their behavior is distinctly trollish: as soon as the discussion flags, they come in and say something else that's either offensive or ridiculous, creating a rush of response.
Maybe they need a diet.
Best,
Alice
Yaron, I have to de-lurk for a second here.
"The magnitude of the two things (people you don't know going to a strip bar, murder) is so different that they shouldn't have been conflated in the first place."
Don't you get it? That's why people answering (and lurking) think you are behaving in a ridiculous way. Teresa and Patrick went/are going through a great deal of major yuckiness, and Theresa has used this forum to express some of it. So she made a snide comment, at the very end of two posts, about some of your friends. Give it a break. Deal with the issue that the posts are really about, and think a little about snide behaviour to people who have to deal with grief.
Re-lurking now.
