One of my friends bought a bag of potatoes with the plan to just eat them like apples. After one bite he realized that wasn't going to work. He doesn't cook often. Or ever.

I put cinnamon on my Pylly Nallen Pieru Puuro brand oatmeal but I have to admit it still tastes like oatmeal. Then again at 7 o'clock I don't really care.

Also Puerto Rico has voted in favor of statehood but let's not pretend the GOP is going to allow a 51st state that's filled with brown people who mostly speak Spanish.

That, too.

Puerto Rico's situation is complex because for a long time they enjoyed a nebulous sort of commonwealth status with the US where they didn't get government representation but don't have to pay American taxes, either. As far as most Puerto Ricans were concerned, this was fine - most of the advantages of being in the US, few of the drawbacks. The problem is, this arrangement was legally speaking nonsense and Obama during his term decided it was time for some hard truths about Puerto Rico's legal relationship with the US, effectively clarifying that they have two choices: independence or statehood.

Puerto Rico's referendums have been in favor of statehood, but the Republican party has no reason to want Puerto Rico to become a state and quite a lot of reasons to actively keep them from becoming a state.

I just put salt on my porridge and it's delicious. I've tried it with brown sugar as well just not the same, salt all the way. I also like eating boiled potatoes.

Well no wonder, your porridge gets plenty of flavor from being boiled in sheep's stomachs, obviously.

Eating raw potatoes is at best disgusting and at worst actively dangerous. Don't eat raw potatoes.

the account by two young Germans who shared student lodgings with Atta. They describe his utter indifference to creature comforts. For food, Atta would throw unpeeled potatoes into a pot and, when it boiled, mash them into a bowl. He would eat his fill, which was not much, then keep the bowl in the fridge, returning to it as his appetite demanded.

The image of Atta joylessly spooning cold mashed potato into his mouth, taken with everything else we know, strongly suggested a man for whom this world mattered little.

I had to look this one up and... Uh... Yowza. And apparently Trump retweeted this one. That's a hell of a thing.

So, what Dejawesp said, but also, from Wikipedia:

quote:

Despite his fame, Tillman did not want to be used for propaganda purposes. He spoke to friends about his opposition to President Bush and the Iraq war, and he had made an appointment with notable government critic Noam Chomsky for after his return from the military. The destruction of evidence linked to Tillman's death, including his personal journal, led his mother to speculate that he was murdered. General Wesley Clark agreed that it was "very possible".

Whoops!

Yup, they're called bungs, which i suppose sounds nicer than synthetic stomach, and made of cellulose now. Still 100% pluck inside them of course. Unless you're American in which case no lungs for you.

You can still get real stomachs but they're rarer, mainly because 1 sheep makes more than one haggis.
