The needle of this thread's compass refuses to point north; or, south, as the case may be. Could it be that BFMV exists at the metaphorical South Pole of music? A true nadir, from which any direction can only lead to improvement?

Speaking of which, where are those Thai curry recipes you were going to post? I'm sick again, could use a kick-ass spicy curry.

Rare New York steak and a twice baked potato. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty good on the grill, delicious. [ATTACH]904[/ATTACH] Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

If I learn your songs on drums, will you feed me?

Old Rasputin Imperial Stout, totally solid and tasty standby: [ATTACH]905[/ATTACH] Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

A stout guy, eh? I just had Dupont's "Monk's Stout" - a refreshingly dry and effervescent, coffee-like Belgian stout. And some other delicious things I can't recall off the top of my head. If you can get Sierra Nevada's "DeveStateTion" black IPA (sp?), you've got to try it - it replaces their 2013/14 estate harvest ale, because their barley crop was ruined. And the Ruthless Rye this year is good as always.

Trust a mom to ruin her teenager's dream of world domination through battle jacket mastery. Does it fit? Does it look good?

Deftones - Koi No Yokan

I once had some World Wide Stout from Dogfish Head. That stuff was around 21%, and amazingly still delicious. Do you get their beers out in UT?

Bespectacled? Sure. Introspective? Absolutely. But this whole "fun" thing seems out of character...

I do my best with what I've got.

And once again the colossal quotation marks descend.

Nope, my dad was a beer judge and I learned a lot from talking with him. There's a good bit to it. Inadvertent snobbery resulted.

You should get that checked out, bladder control is essential for advanced beer sampling.

Nah, if they read this thread during their due diligence they'll charge way too much. Screw 'em anyway. My son gets my guitar collection and my wife gets all my paintings. Maybe I should take out wife insurance, though...

Wow, at 12% it basically is wet bread! You don't really need food, if you're drinking that.

Corona, man, that stuff will kill you before your time. Do you get Pacifico over there? That's my favorite Mexican pilsner. Same brewery as Corona, and they also make Negra Modelo - a nice, drinkable dark lager. Don't know why, but corona always gives me the worst headache.

Billie Holiday - When Your Lover Has Gone

Heaven calls; they want their bread back. Desperate at the thought that you might be denied entry over something so trivial, you race after Shaggy and Scooby, all thoughts of the hill evaporating from your mind. I find a coal oven dating to the early 1900s in a basement underneath the hill, and open a successful Italian restaurant and bakery on the spot. My restaurant.

Yeah, we never had them on special occasions... they were everyday food. Kind of hard to look forward to that special Christmas meal of ground beef and boiled cabbage. When he says kielbasa is "the bomb", the expression means it's really good. Not a gut bomb like Indian food can be (love some Indian food, too, though). edit - Oh cool, I didn't know how to pronounce that "a" - and I can't find a code for the character either. Thanks!

Re: Whatcha Eatin'?

@Atrocity is sarma a traditional croatian dish? Because we have a very similar one here in Poland, called 'gołąbki'. And by the way, many polish people goes to Croatia on holiday, and they always say that croatian are the best hehe. So eating a balcan food would be a nice try I guess.

Hah, I grew up eating those. Almost always with ground beef, although my mom used turkey instead sometimes. My maternal grandmother is Polish. But the family always pronounced it "ga-lump-kee", so I'm surprised to see it spelled that way. The "l" with a slash through it is more like an English "w", right?

Hi, welcome!

I'll check out Disaffected if I can. I never liked Cynic. Most of the drummers I know, and plenty of other people, get a real hard on for Focus (and Human, a real drummer favorite). I've heard it a bunch, it just never really did anything for me. It's been five or six years since the last time I listened to it, and I'm sure I'll play it again at some point. I don't hate Human, Death was a great project and they've been a big influence on my writing. I listen to everything from Spiritual Healing on. But I almost always play Sound Of Perseverance or Symbolic first. SOP in particular has Chuck's best vocals and IMO his most personal lyrics. The feeling in that album is gut-wrenching at times. That's his legacy, for me. Reading some of his other lyrics, you can almost get the sense that he knew what was coming, but on that album it's totally apparent.

Prince Humperdinck's horse has a cheetah print saddle! Fucking cheetah print! How did I never notice that? Ha!

I'm watching The Princess Bride. Oh fuck yes.

The Negation, I didn't get down with their later stuff. Columbo or Poirot?

Of course we'd all have to be drunk xD

I'll get cracking on that right away.
