I'm eating pickled jalapenos and I can breathe! Yay capsaicin!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Our wings are not tired.
Laga, your post makes me smile. The biotech I work for has developed a pretty nifty pain remedy (for neuropathic pain) from capsaicin. I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers, one of my dogs is named "Chile Pepper" and now my company is using chiles to get rid of pain. Yay.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
ND, is this you? [link]

The status is NOT quo.
Not ND, but nope, that's not a project he worked on. Wish it was!

Aww, I'll bet he does too, in that case -- it sounded so perfectly like his kind of gig.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Holiday was nice. The synagogue service was irritating -- there was an Israel bonds appeal, which I dislike to begin with, though I understand the logic of having them at High Holiday services, but this one was particularly irritating. The guy kept talking about how "we" have to get "our children and grandchildren" to connect with Israel, because of all the recent studies showing that "our children" don't feel a personal connection, and "we" have to remember how much "our generation" has contributed to Israel, etc. There was a definite normative "we" in that speech, and I was not part of it. The sermon was OK, but kind of boring -- do good things, and make sure that when you do then, you are doing them "as a Jew."
Family dinner first night, friends second night. The family one was OK, the friends one was fun. Finally found a readily available kosher wine that I actually like. (Previously, all the kosher wines I've liked have been the little tiny brands that practically nowhere in the States sells -- there are some drinkable ones from bigger brands, but nothing I'd think of as really good.) Also had a blush wine (non-kosher) from a vineyard out on Long Island, which was OK, if a little weird -- it had strawberry in it -- and a German white that was fabulous. Oh, and there was food too. Potato kugel and yams and asparagus and carrots and matzo ball soup and vegetarian chopped liver (made of lentils, walnuts, and onions, I think), and chicken and gefilte fish and brisket for the meat-eaters.
Just played Trivial Pursuit with my dad. He won.

I just realized I've had my underpants on inside out since this morning.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I am Laga. Except it's allergies not a code, and Spicy Chicken stir-fry from a grocery store deli instead of jalapenos.
