It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Whoa, the TV blowing up may have been a lucky thing - if he hadn't noticed the gas he might have asphyxiated.

to watch his favorite quiz show, he had no idea his life would be in jeopardy.

Is that supposed to be a joke? Also, who uses the term "quiz show" anymore?

To add thickness, I puree some of the beans and will add in corn starch if needed

In white chilis, I like to dice up potatoes and boil them with the chili. They can be pureed, also, along with the beans.

I use potatoes too (or hominy) but I'll grant you a pass for the protein...

I'll take "Silver Linings Actually Made of Tinfoil" for $200, Alex.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Isolatr launches

Since the internets were invented we've all been trying to figure out what they can be best used for, how that can improved our lives, and how we can monitize the fuck out of that. Who ever could have guessed that I'd be the one to figure it out? Well, it's been a long three days since this was conceived in the back channel at etech, but the minutes of hard work, semi-dedication and near sacrifices have finally paid off. I'm proud to introduce the world to isolatr. No need to thank me, just pass it on.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I could have used potatoes, just didn't think of it. I'm not a hominy fan and don't keep it in the house.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Huh. Just yesterday I said "Do you smell that?" And upon discovering a burner had been turned on but unlit, we had to open up the doors and windows for a couple hours.

Good thing we didn't turn on the TV.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You know, to have enough gas in your apartment to blow it up from a random spark, it must have stunk to high heaven. His sense of smell must be very impaired.

Also...am I the only one who wondered at "giant lobster researcher"? I mean, is the guy like 7 feet tall and the lobster only average-sized?
