After the claim that http://friendfeed.com/rahshee... wouldn't start a meme, I had to at least give it a try. This is mildly better to look at than the original that the lickers came from (you know which image I'm talking about, I refuse to link to it).
I knew the "Remove It Permanently" Firefox addon would come in handy.

Bonnie, who has the talent? I hope you're not referring to me, this is the shittiest photoshopping (well, GIMPing), I've ever done. That being said, I spent way too much time on it when I did it.
- Andy Bakun
I will acknowledge I got it off friendfeed, but the assertion of who's it is is not legitimately authenticated. We're gonna have to see a Certificate of Authenticity for this chest.

People make me laugh. Yesterday, I posted a New Year’s photo of my family. Either this Jeremy (cropmarks) guy is culturally ignorant or a dick, but he had no problem showing his ass. - http://faboomama.tumblr.com/post...
It's not Taxi yellow, it's Baja Fish Taco Cantina Yellow... DUH!!
- Adrian
But seriously? Besides a few of the more pathetic trolls here, who leaves a comment like that on a New Year thread. That he's too stupid associate the yellow with the Spanish style just makes him look even more ignorant.
- Admiral Anika
Well, I don't know much about the Spanish style, and I do leave random or weird comments... =/
- Andrew C
Taxi Yellow? I have no idea.... but I do know that your family pic was great and a very original idea. I love the kid's expressions. :)
- Joe
I have probably said this before, but you guys have made a really cool family.
- Joe
I am jealous of anyone that can paint their walls anything other than white/off-white, and that includes your "taxi yellow". What I wouldn't give to be able to paint glossy black pinstripes on 2 of my daughter's stark white walls and big black glossy polka dots on the other 2, but the landlord would have heart failure if I did.
- April Russo (app103)
I had to go back and look at the photo again, because when I first looked at it the yellow wall didn't even register, I was looking at your gorgeous family!
- Mellissa
Hey, love your Tumblr ... you've got a follow! PS Did you wake the tribe before midnight?
- Kate Foy
Thanks, Kate. I woke the girl, but the boy wanted to stay asleep. So it was just us 3.
- Admiral Anika
I didn't even really "see" the color, just the great family pic -- I just thought the room was "warm" looking. I think I blocked that guy a couple of weeks ago (the first in a LONG time) for something similar, but more hostile on someone else's thread.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I just focused on you guys and the kid's expressions - I could not have told you what color the wall was either.
- Joe
Jennifer, he makes a LOT of rude comments to people all the time.
- Admiral Anika
Those walls were professionally painted by the way! It's got a sponge wash and everything! It is larger than life though.
- Adrian
And they're much brighter/darker in the photo than in reality. I love my walls.
- Admiral Anika
I wasn't being mean or rude or insensitive, I was just impressed with the brave color scheme. Didn't mean to offend. Didn't mean to drama up the thread.

Gandalf came back from the dead. All Magneto can do is manipulate magnetic fields. OOOHHHHH SCARY.
- Jon Ursenbach
+1 Jon. Gandalf could kick Magneto's ass. Magneto has no fighting skills. Gandalf took on a Balrog and won. No contest.
- Jason, Craving
From Wikipedia: "Gandalf pursued the Balrog for eight days until they climbed to the peak of Zirakzigil. Here they fought for two days and nights. In the end, the Balrog was cast down and broke the mountainside with its fall. Gandalf himself died during this ordeal, and his body lay on the peak while his spirit travelled outside of time." After which, he came back from the dead as Gandalf the White.
- Jason, Craving
Gandalf of course! The guy with the best hair ALWAYS wins.
- Adrian
Ah hah, so were you pleased? kidding, but funny..i loved this post! I remember looking for the best cheesecake treats.
- Myrna
I'm not a big chocolate fan, but I've tried a few cheesecakes with more exotic fruit that normal. Some were better than others. :-) In the end, I always come back to a really good cherry cheesecake.
- Jason, Craving
If you come to Brooklyn, you can go to Juniors, famous for cheesecakes for decades.
- Myrna
I lived in Brooklyn in the mid-90's. Been to Juniors. It's *sings* aaaaaamaaaazing!
- Jason, Craving
But in all seriousness, different lyricists do different things. I don't think a top 10 emcees list has any validity without Rakim, Nas, Eminem, and KRS-One in contention. I'd also add Ice Cube, Smooth B, and MF Doom to mine.
- Jason Toney
The End of Time == Awesome, thought there are a few slow parts. Now time for me to tell you something, I've never liked David Tennant in the role, his eye's were distracting.
I thought it rhymed too. Guess it is a slogan only for Texans.
- Yolanda
Okay, yeah, it'll rhyme for Texas because your "ten" sounds like "tin". :)
- Rochelle
It rhymes in my accent. :) Unless I specifically need to emphasize that I mean "ten" instead of "tin" or "pen" instead of "pin" those words all have the same vowel sound.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
It rhymes if you say it with a Kiwi accent.
- Mellissa
Christopher, some accents say "ten" like "tehn", with a distinctly short "e" sound instead if a short "i" one. Which is, after all, how it's spelled.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
from iPhone
so dialectness rhymes with feckless, right.
- Micah Wittman
I agree with Haggis, it's fascinating. It took me a minute to read all the comments and figure out why Rochelle thought ten didn't rhyme with win!
- Trish R
It seems to rhyme in Califoniaeese. I'm just hoping it be an acurate Motto.
- Brent - Loving Life
I don't think I've ever heard someone pronounce "ten" where it wasn't a homonym of "tin"
- Glen, Bespectacled Elder
Haggis it qualifies as a Slant Rhyme. In poetry as in bowling, close is ok. :) And Emily Dickenson thought it was ok, you qualify, too.
- Melanie Reed
All of the PNW? I've never heard anyone pronounce the two any differently.
- Christopher Harley
"Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all." - E D (soul/all are slant rhymed)

The 360 version is awesome and they just dropped more DLC for it last week.
- Alex Scoble
I've added it to my rental list. Speaking of which, I'm off to play the PC version...
- Kol Tregaskes
Oatmeal finger gun! (hey someone had to say it)
- Alex Scoble
Alex, what level are you at now? I'm level 31 and currently going through all the missions top to bottom. I don't pick up anything less than 6k now. Thank goodness for the teleporter btw, makes life a whole lot easier. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I reached level 50 a long time ago with my soldier.
- Alex Scoble
I've got a long way to go, search found Tannis and about to get ECHO back up and running.
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm level 31 as well. Hey where the hell is Scooter at? I can't remember and it keeps reminding me he has a lil sumpnsumpn for me.
- Adrian
Is that the guy at New Haven sitting near the buggy car in the town?
- Kol Tregaskes
Level 50 on all 8 of my characters, really wish you could go higher. Thinking about starting again, love this game. Did you know there are 6 weapons crates in and around New Haven? :) (5 inside the town)
- Mo Kargas
Without trying to read anything of it I think I'm not far from the end of the single player from looking at the walkthrough.
- Kol Tregaskes
All 8? I've only played the game with one character, do I need to play the game from the start with different characters? Is there anything different for each?
- Kol Tregaskes
There's only 4 types of character, I've just played the game too much :)
- Mo Kargas
Hehe, Mo. So you've played through it 4 times!
- Kol Tregaskes
8 times, 2x with each character plus the DLC
- Mo Kargas
Mo, I'll take a look around New Haven town but I'm pretty sure I've found most. I tend to take a long ol' look around new areas. I've got weeks to go before I get from level 31 to 50! I guess I just wander around the maps to get up to 50 once I've finished the game. Oh well, gonna find out... ciao. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Fuuuuck... this game rules. Most fun I've had with single player in a long time. Elemental weapons FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Adrian
Old Haven was EVIL. It's like every 5 steps the place was repopulated with baddies. I liked fighting the soldiers with the shields and deployable turrets, and the super annoying guy on the rooftop with the electricity. Ah... finally a use for a shield that can absorb shock. :D
- Adrian
Old Haven is a little made. :-) You'll get more of those shield guys. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
And the respawns are getting REALLY pricey, but there's like money growing on trees in this game. And in lockers... lots of lockers. And toilets. In the middle of nowhere. And... laundry machines?
- Adrian
Yep, though I think the respawn is related to the amount you have? Either way you'll get lots of money eventually. Just pick up and sell a lot of pricey kit.
- Kol Tregaskes
And can I tell you how much I love those midget psychos? I want to adopt one. No, make that a dozen. In case I take a few out. Keep them out back on a leash and taunt them.
- Adrian
Pintos and Tofurky sausage and rice. I kind of wish I had went to Whole Foods and picked up some Field Roast apple & sage sausage, though.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I just might eat that. Love some long simmering beans.
- Derrick
It's how my father always did it, with pintos instead of reds.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Good to see a fellow pinto bean fan! I cook it meatless and with no oil or butter. Only onion, garlic, tomato and a variety of dry and fresh chili peppers, cumin, bay leaf, and salt. Slow cooked of course. I would do it up with pork but Anika is allergic to it so I don't. Mash it a bit near the end and it's golden.
- Adrian
Adrian, that's really close to how I do it.
- Akiva Moskovitz
... and it always tastes better on the second and third day!
- Adrian
Phase III — final seasoning and sausage addition. [COMPLETE]
- Akiva Moskovitz
Adrian, heck yeah. If I had thought ahead, I would have made this yesterday and let it sit overnight for today.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I'm not a huge fan of field roast's sandwich slices (and I don't even want to get involved with that loaf all bound up in twine) but their sausages are the best. They have a chipotle one that's killer.
- Akiva Moskovitz
May God bless you more with what is truly essential in life: Stronger spirit, brave heart, healthier body, endless love, and God’s grace in abundance this 2010. God Bless and a great 2010 year ahead. Happy New Year!”

Or take a shot to kill the taste buds and get any initial shiver out of the way. Then the drink will taste weak.
- Michael W. May
MWM, I admit I didn't think of that. I did think of drinking some of the top and cutting it with more iced tea. But I didn't do it. :)
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Aw, you'll just have to drink it and try again...

"Pernil lojano, also known as pernil de chancho, is a typical dish from my hometown of Loja, it is pork marinated in a sauce of bitter orange juice, onion, garlic, achiote, cloves, cinnamon, cumin and panela and slow roasted in the oven for several hours."
- Derrick
from Bookmarklet
besides the orange and achiote, pretty much how I do it
- Michael W. May
I insert lots of whole garlic cloves into small knife slits in the roast also.
