Several months ago, someone used an AI program to generate some music in the style of Oasis. IMHO, it got their overall tone correct. The vocals could have been done by the Gallaghers. But unless it was supposed to be an experimental concept album, the mix was all wrong. I don’t know if that...

Oh-Ho-Ho-Hooooo Oh-Ho-Ho-Hooooo Oh-Ho-Ho-Hooooo Oh-Ho-Ho-Hooooo I was doing my Yule Tree lighting My cats were fast as lightning In fact, it was a little bit frightening But they climbed with expert timing. There were shiny Christmas balls from funky Christmas Town I was putting them up, they...

I was in Sam’s the other day and the young lady at our register was singing & dancing along with the Christmas tunes that were playing as she worked. I commented on how well she was doing with the lyrics; she responded that it was a repeated playlist. So I said she was surprisingly upbeat...

Generally speaking, raw potatoes shouldn’t be eaten. They contain certain compounds that can be nauseating or can interfere with normal digestion.

I’ve definitely eaten some unusual critters or unusual parts of the more common livestock, but I’ve never had horsemeat…that I know of. (Sometimes, you eat things without knowing all of the ingredients.)

Elden Campbell has died. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/articles/nba-champion-elden-campbells-cause-222247655.html

I’ve lost people I’ve played off, but not to mortality, just to time & tides. I’ve still got my parents, who created this particular monster. I take what I can get online.

I used to do stuff like that back in the mid-1980s. I still do, but I used to, too. Plus all kinds of similar humor forms, like 1 word additions/substitutions; name the porno knockoff of a famous IP; listing products sold by bands that are total sellouts; fake first names of bands before they...

I was listening to a documentary about JCM’s career, and apparently, Jack was originally supposed to be a black dude- they were an interracial couple. Record execs thought that would be trouble, so any references to their race were scrapped.

STEALIN’ MAH JOKES!

Today at lunch, I had some fantastic mashed potatoes topped with fried onion strings, surrounded by grilled veggies & shrooms and a piece of filet mignon served with a blue cheese gravy. They were too firm to be au Robuchon- given more, I probably could have reenacted the dinner scene from...

Mod Note: That’s…kinda rude, there. And instead of telling another poster to “don’t post to” you anymore, better practice would be to disengage and simply not respond to them or (privately) put them on your ignore list.

Than there’s Joël Robuchon's Pommes Purée. At least a couple of celebrity chefs have said they routinely hit certain restaurants that make Robuchon potatoes for the potatoes. (Considering they’re about 1/3 butter, I’m not surprised.) I’ve not knowingly had the opportunity myself. But...
