Fumble Fingered Food Porn

Damn. I hit the damn post button instead of draft.

My attempt at Food Porn

Marinade for Top Flight Steaks
This is a rough estimate of the spices required for a 8-10oz steak (scale accordingly)
1/8 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Tbl Spoon of Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 dash of Ginger or 2 dashes of Chinese Five Spice mixture
1 oz of Gin (or 2 ozs for tougher cuts of meat)
2 Tbl Spoons of Olive Oil (or Canola, but I prefer Olive)

Mix oil, booze, sugar, spices thoroughly.
Rub mix deeply into the meat.
I find it easiest to put the steaks in a big freezer sized ziplock bag and let sit for 24 hours. Best is 48 hours. Pour excess marinade into the bag.
Cook on BBQ

I prefer Gin, but you can use any hard grain alcohol. For those who don't like certain flavors, the flavor isn't going to last once the meat starts cooking.

Money for Nothing

Now look at them brokers thats the way you do it
You play derivatives on the securities
That ain't workin thats the way you do it
Money for nothin and chicks for free
Now that ain't workin thats the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys aint dumb
Maybe get a paper cut on your little finger
Maybe get a staple in your thumb

We gotta install brand new kitchens
Custom stereo deliveries
We gotta move those Ferarris
We gotta move those plasma tvs

See the little maggot with the loafers and the top end suit
Yeah buddy thats all Propecia
That little maggot got his own jet airplane
That little maggot hes a millionaire

We gotta install brand new kitchens
Custom stereo deliveries
We gotta move those Ferarris
We gotta move those plasma tvs

I shoulda learned to do some calculus
I shoulda learned to cook them books
Look at that model, she got it stickin in the camera
Man we could have some fun
And hes up there, whats that? Margins Called?
Yelling on the cellphone 'bout panicking
That ain't workin thats the way you do it
Get your money for nothin get your chicks for free

We gotta rip out brand new kitchens
Custom stereo repocessions
We gotta take those Ferarris
We gotta remove those plasma tvs

Now that ain't workin thats the way you do it
You play derivatives on the securities
That aint workin thats the way you do it
Money for nothin and your chicks for free
Money for nothin and economic ruin for free

The Mind of McCain

It's been observed by many others that McCain is probably the closest we will ever see anyone be Gollum in real life. Sadly I suspect that when McCain is asleep, the conversations in his head go a lot like this:

McCain 08
: We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They will help us win it! Sneaky little Rovians. Wicked, tricksy, true!
McCain 00 : No. Not Rove and Dobson!
McCain 08 Yes, precious, true! They will cheat, hurt, LIE FOR US!
McCain 00: Rove is your enemy!
McCain 08: NO! YOU don't have any friends; nobody Repub likes YOU!
McCain 00: I'm not listening... I'm not listening...
McCain 08: You're not a Maverick, but a coward.
McCain 00: No!
McCain 08: *BLACK BABY*.
McCain 00: Go away!
McCain 08: "Go away?"
[McCain 08 laughs as McCain 00 begins crying]
McCain 00: I hate you, I hate you.
McCain 08: Where would you be without me, McCain 08 the pander I saved us! It was me! We survived because of me!

Of course, the basis for this dialogue is from the Two Towers.
