Of course this belongs here!

So how do you do Bangers and Mash? (With onion gravy).

Ingredients used by my brother:




true-bangers-and-mash-with-onion-gravy/

UK style? Irish style? Which of these worthless nations have the best and from which did Bangers and Mash originate? Good thing to fight over. Like “true” scones.

By the way, the Bangers and Mash turned out very good. Washed down by a good American Ale, of course.

Looks about right.

Anyone who puts cream in mashed potato should be shot, of course.

Is it traditional to use so little butter?

I had to milk the cow and churn the butter; wasn't quite finished when my brother did the photo shoot. Must have used at least a pound of butter.

I am in a bar, in Chicago. Hailstorm and Brickstone make beers that taste like beer.

I've had a sufficient number of these local beers that my barmates are now almost interesting. The bartender is cute and quick with quips, which is nice.

She mentioned that she likes ciders, and said so in a manner that suggested that she believes that this should be considered an acceptable opinion/preference, so it won't work out as a long-term thing.

But you ain't looken for a long term thang. Just some bangers, with a little mash.

For Brian:

That was good

Research update: A replication study has shown that that love is nothing like oxygen

There is no comfort more precious than sheepishly returning to a bar and being told that you are more than welcome to be there again

I am pretty sure that I am the black hat in most of my current life stories.

I am the white hat in a lot of current stories.

Nixon's The One!

You should be that guy that no one remembers wearing a hat. Or better yet; no one remembers at all.

Dean Martin is the best!

Nuke Europe first; then the whales!

Firebomb Brussels!

What about Canada?

What about nuking Putin and Trump during a summit? Of course my best solution would be to exile them in an asteroid with 15m/sec escape velocity and enough food and supplies to last decades. Now that is the scientific society solution. Let their irredeemable supporters with subpar IQ and tiny d1cks and dead hearts join forces to design a recovery mission.

Never heard of it. There is something north of the USA but its just a suburb of America with more nasty weather, much less people, and no culture of its own.

Why is there suburban, urban, suburbia, but not urbia?

Turn the question upside-down. Why is there suburbia?

Because someone invented it in 1876.

So why hasn't the word urbia been invented?

Let's take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight In Suburbia. You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight In Suburbia. Break the window by the town hall.



I only wanted something else to do but hang around ...my broken color monitor, smashed by the rage of a person immersed in this suburban hell of absolute cool that is the long ago promise to only sell for profit in all markets, crypto, derivatives whatever risky and volatile and will reject panic fluctuation Kelly disturbing sell ideas in exchange for thousands of vertical pixel deaths. Still standing still unwilling to yield to the only thing that is irreversible, the broken promise of long ago. Where's a policeman when you need one To blame the colour TV charts.

So Let's take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight until the new monitor arrives, until the ultimate joke is finally in place when you have your new monitor, unwilling now to replace the one with the scars of war because still alive, functioning, it is showing you the reason you lost coolness no longer exists, ridiculing your rage. Closed timelike geodesic anyone?

So do you replace the monitor that moreover the scars now broadcasts reversal of fortune and screams it loud and clear, you are not old enough pal, why did all this happen to begin with? The ego bruised warrior inside discards it , filing it in the cost of doing business category.

I only wanted something else to do but hang around my rage long enough to break the window to the short lived disturbing news.

Listen, the siren screams There in the distance, like a roll call Of all the suburban dreams being back in orbit.

You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight and learn to be wiser next time, a little cooler and stronger.


So new or bruised monitor provides the greatest lesson? One is the reminder, the other is the challenger. What to do???

Because there is already Urbania?
