Members Psycho_Angus Posted June 16, 2005 Members Share Posted June 16, 2005 Was on the bus in London with my girlfriend and met two guys from Colorado. They were 5 miles out of the centre and still radiating, but I overheard them wondering if they were on the right track to the centre. I butted in, told them they weren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members linusâ„¢ Posted June 16, 2005 Members Share Posted June 16, 2005 those {censored}ing nalgene bottle are everywhere. i hate them. everyone on a college campus has one hanging off their bags. that is a bit of an exaggeration. Black pudding is made w/ blood or something right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Psycho_Angus Posted June 16, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2005 Yeah after the pig has been stripped of anything thats good and healthy the blood and guts are minced into a sausage type thing. If you don't think about how its made it's quite tasty. The Greasy Spoon is a dirty cafe where we have breakfast. Trail mix was a new one, goes well with tea though Yeah they did say the bottles were more of a fashion statement these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thelonius Posted June 16, 2005 Members Share Posted June 16, 2005 I have doubts about the bacon. No offense. It's just that I came up on a few farms. I bet those people have never had the bacon I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thelonius Posted June 16, 2005 Members Share Posted June 16, 2005 My wife is a huge fan of soccer and has gotten me into it. I'm not usually a sports fan. I like boxing and some hockey. But we were in Hyde Park and I saw all the people playing and I said loudly "wow look at all the people playing soccer!!" She almost slapped me for using the 'S' word LOL! But yeah, we're usually pretty amazed. I mean over at Regent's park at lunchtime, we saw guys show up in ties and shed them and jump in a game and play for a bit. It's hilarious. I thought it was neat. My wife thought it was fantastic. As much as she loves soccer I thought I wasn't going to be able to pry her back to the states.

Yeah I reckon, they did "whoop" a lot, carry crates of beer on their shoulders and say "{censored}in' A" a lot. But they were really cool. Apparently they live near Aspen or something, last time I went skiing was in '98 in Lake Placid, so I reckon I'm going over in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of her playing was up in Tennessee. She used to play at the University here but only for about a year. I think the soccer scene has laxed a bit. Hockey is still the big thing around here.

How's that for staying on topic? Well, thats kind of like saying the best Italian food I've ever had is in italy. You are going to have great meat if you live on a farm. I've done scientific tests and our bacon is 1073 times better than canadian bacon, which is 3987 times better than american bacon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jbford1 Posted June 16, 2005 Members Share Posted June 16, 2005 To Americans, Canadian Bacon is just ham. Many people like it on Pizza with Pineapple.. yeah, I know they are nuts. Also, what do you use to test bacon? I have an old bacon tester from 1974, but that was right after GE bought the bacon testing company, and I'm not sure if it works as well as the pre-GE bacon testers. rock bford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old mechanical bacon tester - lots of brass and wrought iron. Sure, it needs a lot more care and practice than the electronic ones, but I think there's something special about testing bacon with a proper centrifuge, steam hammer and crimp-stresser. I think there's something about the magic of pork that can't be expressed on a dial or an LCD screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian Marshall Posted June 16, 2005 Members Share Posted June 16, 2005 i dont know what bacon is like in the UK, but when i lived in australia bacon was totally different... it was like it was made from a completely different part of the pig basically it was ham with lots of fat and gristle on it... and not the kind of fat you could chew up.
