I seem to be getting into many heated internet conversations lately (white knighting for P-Chopistan, and defining "Upstate", in the comments of both). Reading both the threads afterwards I had to chuckle at my sort of uncharacteristically harsh and irrational ranting. Must be the change of seasons, I don't fancy myself much of an internet ranter. Perhaps I am experiencing my male lunar period, who knows... Anyways, I guess it could be due to my own adolescent urge to act contrary and engage in count/counterpoint discussions for their own sake.
In any event, I am out in the Midwest for a week (again). So I thought I would share a couple of fall projects that I have started. Pictured above is a nice hunk of pig belly that I have curing away (raw honey, brown sugar, salt). I also just shaved down 4 pounds of organic parsnips with an onion peeler and set them away to lacto-ferment... Hopeful that both projects will be glorious.
Mr. Dave,
ReplyDeleteMy wife often points out that I too am a needlessly argumentative smart-ass to the good people of the Internet. I can't help it. All the nonsense out there makes me crazy. It's my nature. I just got on someone's case for posting a retarded quaote and attributing it to the Dalai Lama. C'mon people, think a little.
Anytime you seek a worthy a-hole with whom to squabble, we should internet debate each other.
On what topic shall we disagree? Nothing comes to mind. Lemme see. I hated the book "Unbroken" that everyone is raving about. You read it?
No, I haven't read "Unbroken" yet... But I am going to have to go out on a limb and say that I would probably hate it too...
ReplyDeleteI mean, come on, a WWII book written by a woman? What is there to like about that? <--------(If we can't disagree on something, mayhaps we can bait others into arguing with controversial statements. We can then form a cranky combined front and rant at people from multiple directions)
Agreed! On all counts. Don't even get me going on "Unbroken" we're having dinner with the friends (of my wife) who recommended it-- so they're in for an earful tonight. I'm going to keep quiet about it until I'm good an' drunk so as to spare no vitriol.
