    You know you're an azzhole when...

    even Don Cherry says you have no business playing in the NHL. Sean Avery, mature sage that he is, got a couple of stupid penalties last night that left even his coach shaking his head. But what I hadn't seen, until the highlights, was that at one point, when Ovechkin was down on the ice, Avery...

    Where did my Canada go???

    I looked around, and my Canada is gone. Sure, there's traces here and there, but somehow, it got lost. Why do I think so? Hi, I'm a youth jail guard. I want to make sure that you know that if you decide to strangle yourself, in a cry for help, that we'll stand at your cell door, watching...

    Blagojevich Bye Bye

    Well, I see the Hairy One has been given the unanimous boot.One thing I'm questioning, though: if I follow correctly (and there's no guarantee of that), he's being impeached and booted out of office simply because he's been charged by the FBI with corruption? Is that really why they've...

    WTF? All Hamas/Israel, All the Time?

    Okay, enough is enough. All Israel and Hamas, all the time? it seems like every thread is version 37 of the same pointless conversation. Give it a rest, already.

    Ham Anyone?

    We do pretty much the same thing, we don't tend to soak it for as long, but we stud it with cloves, and add maple syrup to the glaze.

    Liberal Platform

    I see that one part of the Liberal platform is to lower the tax on income trusts. That's a great idea, because one part of the 'green shift' is to 'accelerate and deepen' the cuts to corporate tax rates. I'm glad that the Liberals are of the opinion that corporations shouldn't pay any taxes...

    Recipe Screw Ups .... and fixes

    The only thing a microwave does, is excite (ie heat up) the water molecules. By vibrating them directly. As opposed to normal heating, where ALL of the food heats up by conduction / convection heat transfer. It doesn't 'change' the makeup of the food, or cause your lawnmower to eat gravel, or...

    Chemtrails

    I watched that one. It's awesome. I like the way Jesus appears at the start. That's quite comforting. What I really like are the shots at the end showing the chemtrails being generated....I wonder how they're able to release the chemicals directly into the exhaust streams of the engines...

    Chicken Recipes

    I have a great chicken pot pie recipe (from Fine Cooking about 5 or 6 years ago), but it takes pretty much all day - you start by roasting the chicken....I usually make a bunch of pies and then freeze them...I'll have to find it at home.

We've never used mixes, always use recipes in the manual or on the net....oatmeal brown bread is awesome, I like the 7 grain made with red river cereal, too....now i...
