He's talking to our president like a teacher would talk to a student. He's a complete douche. That's Jon Stewart's problem is that he legitimizes this ego-maniacal "how does the moon work?","If you answer me, even if it's true: You're a pinhead".

That is the person interviewing the president. His science is as complicated as a second-grade class requiring no critical thinking, him offering opinionated options and blanket statements mean nothing to me; he can't logically think himself to the library or a book store.

(That's right Bill some of the questions you think are reducible to a simmering comical pun like, "pinheads" shows that you don't know that people older than your great grandfather could have answered you. Now, you make yourself look like an ignorant ass, unless you have a Nielsen Family™ watching--a rating system that has been shown to have a bias; their selection process is, very, selective.)

I can't upvote this for the shear fact someone doesn't feel a disgrace for doing what Bill'O does. The questions asked were all slanted; even though a laid back night was in store. Also, and I really hate to say this: if Jone Stewart keeps acting as though O'Reilly is different somehow than the rest of Fox, I may stop watching him (and I know others who feel the same, since we're pinheads, and Bill'O lacks the ability to actually fend off an answer "that is wrong" in the right way, proof of deniability, facts countering the afore-mentioned answer, etc... He answers within his realm of knowledge: nothing. Then he must resort to ignorance, because the great Bill'O knows all.

P.S. Can we get him on a episode of BS?

So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Head strong like a horse

When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of secrets
In the world of sound

It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
See for yourself you have been sitting on a time bomb
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new about you and your inner song
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down

Break it down again

So those are my schemes
And these are my plans
Hot tips for the boys
Fresh news from the force

When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of silence
In the world of sound

" No sleep for dreaming" say the architects of life
Big bouncing babies, bread and butter can I have a slice
They make no mention of the beauty of decay
Blue, yellow, pink umbrella save it for a rainy day
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down

Horsin' around
Pray to power
Play to the crowd with your big hit sound
And they won't simmer won't simmer, won't simmer down
Play to the crowd
Pay to the crowd
Play yeah yeah

It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
Fast off to heaven just like Moses on a motorbike
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new to help
With the ups and downs
I want to break it down
Break it down again

Break it down again
No more sleepy dreaming
No more building up
It is time to dissolve
Break it down it again
No more sleepy dreaming

@kronosposeidon
Sure, fair enough. From a "player" standpoint the old one would be the dupe, but as far as the videosift rules work - as in what can be done without interference from the admins - the newest posted one is the dupe and can be dupeoffed to the old one. My point being that it's just an issue which inherently causes trouble.

The times that it has happened, we've fixed it so no dick moves were completed (actually, @lucky760 had to go in and undupe the post and kill the old one if my memory serves - lots of work for the poor chap).

As long as people are careful about it, I'm not too concerned, I just don't *like* having a powderkeg of potential problems simmering under our feet. I'd love to see all currently discarded posts converted to kills and clear out any potential problems.

2 large carrots, diced
2 medium onions, diced
3 sticks celery, chopped
2 sprigs thyme
3 sprigs rosemary
1 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
2 pints Guinness stout
3 cups "Bea" stock (can substitute cow-stock if Bea stock is unavailable)
1 small "Bea", cut into bite-sized cubes

Salt and Pepper to taste

Dredge "Bea" chunks in flour, sautee in hot pan until brown on all sides.
Add onion, carrots and celery, sautee until onions start to clarify.
Add hot "Bea" stock, Guiness and herbs to pan, heat to a high simmer.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer until "Bea" is fork tender- approx. 1 to 1.5 hours.
Uncover and simmer until thick.

Serve with mashed potatoes and plenty of Guinness.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I just don't "get" Letterman, I guess.
I'm going to use a "pot of funny" analogy here and see how far it works.
So, you've got these laugh-a-minute guys that are constantly over the top - they're chucking rocks into the pot of funny. Eventually, all the funny's splashed out and the noise is getting annoying.
Then you've got these simmer-splash guys that take a while to set up a joke and knock it down. That's usually alright because there tends to be some informative bits as they're building the tension.
Then you've got the "low boil" folks that just rumble along with a subtle delivery, rarely going for the big laugh, but keeping those smaller jibes and ironic statements flowing. Maybe you have to lean in a little closer and pay attention to catch it. I dig low-boil humor.
To me, Letterman is just...sitting there. Like - where's the entertainment? Where's the funny? I hear the audience laughing - I know it's supposed to be funny. People laugh, and I look at the motionless pot of funny going, "did I miss something?"

Simmer.......DICKWAD!1111

"...go to the back...half men half women...what's the problem?"

Man. Where to begin?

As long as she does as he tells her to do, there is no problem. And he honest-to-god believes that.

I wish that by now we could have figured out the mindset of people like that: the dogmatic, fundamental "exactists" who will not live and let live.

There has to be a psychological profile explaining their motivation, and as such there has to be a strategy for making them simmer down and shut up long enough for the rest of us to enjoy our lives.

That type of person exists in almost every culture in the world. It's easy to see their counterparts in other religions such as Christianity and Islam.

For some reason they are absolutely convinced that their way is the one and only way, period.

What kind of argument could we have to stop them dead in their tracks?

Don't tell my girlfriend, but I love Felicia Day.


Felicia Day is like Christopher Walken.

...if Christopher Walken was younger, female, cute, funny in a ditzy way, and had no simmering depths of pure focused evil.

Too soon! It was simmering in my pqueue for a couple of weeks now.

Thanks though

Simmer down, boiling water. So again. If the point was a vagina, et cetera.

Simmer down, boiling water. No reason to make it personal. This is dispassionate discourse. I have lived in NC for the better part of my life, and we have seen many hurricanes. It's anecdotal and irrelevant.

I think boiling water needs to simmer down. Sorry if again the UsesProsac thing bothers you, but come on, calm down. It's all in good fun, no? You are not ugly, your breath doesn't smell like assholes, and your face does not look like Stephen Hawking's testicles. I don't even know what you look like, and even if I did that would be a ridiculous comparison, no?

Needs prosciutto. And pancetta. And Pecorino Romano. And garlic. .. some red pepper flake.
Besides that .. awesome. I'd use fettucini though. And peas are traditionally served.

ugh .. (lol) The right way (imo) to do this is:
put pancetta (or bacon) in pan
cook .. when it's almost done .. add prosciutto
keep cooking a little bit .. then add garlic
don't let the garlic brown .. add cream .. add cheese .. lower heat .. scrape pan .. let sit at almost simmer
put the egg yolks in a bowl and beat them slightly
add some of the cream mixture from the pan to the bowl while mixing
this tempers the yolks so they don't harden ..
when you have about a third of the cream mixture incorporated with the yolks in the bowl .. pour the contents of the bowl into the cream in the pan while stirring .. raise heat slightly .. cook until thickened .. finish with parsley (or don't) ..

pour over pasta ..

you'll wind up with a much richer and creamier texture ..

Ingredients

4 tbsp Olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
8 large garlicky Sausages
200g wild boar bacon or pancetta, diced
1/2 fennel bulb, finely chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 celery stick, chopped
1 tsp Thyme, chopped
1 tsp redcurrant jelly
1 tsp Balsamic vinegar
450ml chicken stock
410g tinned green lentils
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
2 tbsp crème fraiche


Method

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a saucepan and add the onions and garlic. Fry gently over a medium heat.

2. While the onions and garlic are cooking, heat the rest of the oil in a frying pan and fry the sausages for 5-10 minutes, until browned on all sides. Cut into bite-sized chunks and pile into a casserole dish. Set aside.

3. Add the pancetta, fennel, carrot, and celery into the saucepan with the onion and garlic and cook until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the thyme, then add to the casserole with the sausages.

4. Stir the redcurrant jelly and balsamic vinegar into the chicken stock and pour into the casserole with the sausages. Bring to the boil and then add the lentils. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the lentils are tender.

5. Mix the crème fraîche and wholegrain mustard together in a small bowl.

6. To serve, spoon the casserole into a large serving dish and drizzle over the mustard crème fraîche.
