I mean, I wouldn't even say Killinger is Kissinger. For one thing, Killinger is far more empathetic and analytical than Kissinger ever was.

“ Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”

Milosevic did not. That's why Milosevic is in The Hague and Kissinger is going to live to 100+.

pixaal posted:you mean has ever been, sadly he's still sucking air, he's going to make 100 Oh, I'm aware. I saw the dude speak at one of my business functions 4 years ago. He was quite unintelligible, and his handler was really loving weird. There was also a Lithuanian ambassador there who was very attractive, and we all got to see our third level supervisor eyeball the poo poo out of her while they were on stage.

Thatcher's dementia only came to official public light when her daughter wrote a book to fish for sympathy about having a parent with dementia. Her admittance, I think, puts the start of it in '00 but it's possible it was either early 1990's or maybe even late 80's while she was still in office. Presumably the monster's hopped up on drugs to mimic some sort of clarity, and the handlers ensure no one gets too close to confirm the sunsetting - if someone can do a good Ronald Reagan voice, they could probably get him to slip up.

But when I call his handler weird, I don’t mean in the overprotective, self-denial sort of way. The guy’s mannerisms and overall mode of speech were just off. Even when we were engaging him and nowhere near Kissinger, he just acted squirrely as hell.

qirex posted:As a food nerd I’m disappointed in Limb not knowing that serrated knives are also great for tomatoes. Plus the best line of that scene is clearly “And risk not having enough pickle forks? Never!” Yep. Pope Guilty posted:They're great for eating sausages since the teeth make it easier to get through the casing without the risk of a less-than-perfectly-sharp knife just sort of smushing the sausage instead. ... I never considered that. Usually I just impale a sausage on a fork, bite off one end, bite off the other end, and then eat the rest. This is for breakfast links, though. For anything bigger, I'm usually eating it on a bun if it isn't already sliced. But I'll keep this in mind. I'll also add that serrated knives are better for steak than non-serrated. I've tried both, and with the right serrations, you can slice through a steak efficiently and with no screeching if the blade hits the plate. Also, as a guy who takes care of and sharpens his knives, unless you're eating steak on a plastic or wooden cutting board, you're dulling that non-serrated blade every time it hits your ceramic (or glass or whatever) plate. And on that comment about tomatoes: yes, very sharp edges are great on tomatoes most of the time. But if you don't have the money and/or time to buy and/or maintain sharp blades, serrated blades do a really good job. In commercial kitchens where you use a tomato slicer to do whole tomatoes at a time, those blades are often serrated. And if you have a slightly over-ripe tomato and you need to either cut it up now or throw it away, a serrated blade can make that job a lot easier. Mr. Nice! posted:And suffer the embarrassment of not having enough pickle forks! One of my favorite Limb lines. Also, if you're ever working on your car's steering components, pickle forks are great for separating ball joints.

I frequently hear the serration line in my head when seeing a serrated knife, yes On occasion I've also said that young people will undoubtedly taunt us because our trousers are not in style any more Also one time when I was playing D&D I cast a sleep spell and did my best Dr. Orpheus impression while shouting "SLEEEEEEEEEEEP"

Hell, in this very forum, I routinely use the whole thing: "waylaid by jackassery." Love it. Sataere posted:If anyone ever says to me they can't hear something, I will say "because you are sane!" Yes, but only in Red Mantle's voice. This has come up in this thread before, but I'll repeat it because I know for a fact it's slowly catching on. When Dragoon discovers that Fudgie is made out of ice cream, he exclaims, "That is ICED CREAM!!!!!" I know the Simpsons technically did it first, but it wasn't this splendorous. And ever since then, my wife and I have been incorporating this into our vocabulary of multi-word foodstuffs. For one thing, we never say "ice cream." We're not animals. That is iced cream. Get it right, people. In fact, I was on a group ride today called "The I Scream for Ice Cream" ride, and I've only referred to it by the proper "Iced Cream" name the entire time. But it works for all other foods. Hammed burger. Heated dog. (We will also accept "hotted dog," and sometimes we prefer that.) Coled slaw. Ribbed eye steak. Gooeyed, buttered cake. A baconned, lettuced, and tomatoed sandwich. You get the idea. The great thing is that our adult autistic son has picked up on it and comes up with his own variations. He knows what's up. tarlibone fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Jul 10, 2022 |
