Aha. A lot of flatulence can be hazardous to your health. Good thing nobody was smoking then, or everyone will be blown to sky high. Which funny thing, last night the television is showing the best of mad TV and in it, this guy can control the smell of his fart. Be it from lavender, to steak to rocky road ice cream. Or course when they wanted him to do the nastiest "fart" the whole house exploded. Anyway, coming from an accident is no excuse to do inconsiderate things. People may forgive you when you fail to do things, but people will not tolerate you when it is intentional.

Ah, then I just have the right alternative for you. Get the eggs (the yolk including the white) and beat them to consistency. You could add some chopped vegetables or meat (sometimes ground meat and sliced century eggs would be tasty) add some salt and then steam. Now you have steamed egg. Serve with soy sauce or seasoning.

I'm guessing that this series is now licensed? I seem to be having difficulty finding avi's that I have to contend with mp4's and MKV's.

What? Why would you feel ill? Is it because you see it as protein? I'm not suggesting that you eat that in one sitting. Also, when you steam it, it no longer has the properties as a raw egg would have. Hmm.... searched a wiki and I saw that this is what you guys would call a caramel custard or Creme Caramel. link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flan Apparently, they didn't mention that the custard base comes from egg and milk. Of course alternatives are available.

Those two look interesting. I'll have a closer look at these when I have the time. There is one series that I'm curious about. Linebarrel something. It's supposed to be a new show that's currently airing. Lots of Mecha. Anybody heard of it before?

Well, I'm really not sure about how debates go on in the other thread in this sub forum, but I sure would like to remind everyone about something that is posted right at the top of this page. And to quote: What I think Zeo was pointing out was marriage in terms of it's natural origin. I mean to have a union, you need a man and a woman. Yes, history does show us there have been gay union as far back as the Roman Empire. But at the begining wasn't there only Adam and Eve? (Let's not throw in Charles Darwin's theory of Evolution as we need another thread for that). Well, I have to admit, the references Zeo made are something I see as "too much information to process", which sometimes deviate from the original intent of the message. Based on the discussion that I can comprehend, everyone is traveling in the same direction, except on a different path. Can't we all just... get along?

Here's some simple sweet desert that you can easily prepare. This is some sort of pudding. You mix half a dozen egg yolks (yes, the yellow stuff, and remove the egg whites), mix it with sweetened milk (about 50/50 portion), and batter until the texture is very fine. And then heat some sugar and water in a pastry pan until the sugar turns golden brown. This will be used as a lining so the batter would not stick to the pan. Then pour the battered egg yolk into the pan, but make sure that there are no more bubbles in the mix. Then steam in moderate flame for 20 minutes. And you've got yourself a Milk Flan. This is one of my favorite deserts.

Sorta off topic, but I think what bobby wants is not having views but somebody else besides him posting something, and commenting. Now back to topic. I'm not sure if this was posted already, but I'm sure I mentioned this fan made video during the release of The Dark Knight. So here goes. This is actually one of the best fan made video of Batman:

Well, after some searching and researching, I've stumbled upon the Nokia E66. Specification here: http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_e66-2426.php Well, mostly covers most of my basic requirements, and also have the GPRS. Form factor looks okay, as the keypad is covered. Although I wonder about the navigational keys if I might accidentally call someone using the redial key. Would you guys recommend this phone? Or do you guys have some other units. Also not all units are available in our region. for example, the 6650 which I see a lot online does not exist where I at.

the Nokia 6085 looks nice, all the basic features I need. I'll take a look at it. For the Sony Ericsson W890i, took a look at it, but the design is kinda iffy. I don't know, it doesn't look appealing to me. Perhaps because its designed to be a walkman phone and not a business phone. The reason I like the flip phones because I carry my phone in my pant pockets and I would like the keypad to be covered to prevent accidental dialing, either by flip, slide or twist. Initially I liked the slide phone, as my last phone the Nokia 7110 was a slider. But watching the series 24 made me want to get the flip type. I'm currently using a Nokia 6260. I seem to have this habit of choosing phones that gets discontinued rather quickly.

Perhaps you might be interested in obtaining a double degree? You know, I feel like this is an extension of the 1000th post thread. You guys really hooked up in that thread. Something like Laurel and Hardy?

Well, it's not my place to comment on the negativity of the aesthetics. I'm not much of a fan of sentai anyway. The blue thingy looks like a grapple or some sorts.

Well, that's actually one of the difficulty I'm having. In terms of looks I favor the 6600, but when it comes to functionality, the 6267 proves to be the better one. And yes, I do like the flip phones, or clam type as we call them. Mostly the basic feature I want is being able to call and send text messages. Also a few perks wouldn't hurt, like MP3 player, a built in camera, hot swap memory would be nice. I would also want to be able to customize my ring tone. Bluetooth and GPRS that doesn't use googlemaps would be optional. I'm not really particular about the price range as I'm very practical. As long as the phone meets my requirements then I'm sold. Also, it needs to last a number of years. the longest I had was my Nokia 7110 which lasted me 6 years. Recommendations are also welcome. Thanks.

I told myself not to buy another phone until next year, but my phone is starting to die on me. I had it for like 4 years now and I normally wouldn't change phones unless necessary. But dropping a call when I'm right in the middle of a conversation is just not right anymore. Anyways, I've narrowed down my choices for two phones. And it is still Nokia phones. I do understand that there are better phone manufacturers out there with more complete features, but I don't want to have to adopt to another system again. So I was wondering if any of you guys have any idea about the Nokia 6600 fold and the Nokia 6267. I've been thinking about which of these two I'm getting and I'm really not sure which is better. I actually want to know what are the bad features of these phones so I can compare, as every review site I've been to doesn't really tell me what I want to know. So what would you guys recommend. Any help would be highly appreciated.

8 hours a week? That's like working almost one and a half hour a day, or just one day for the whole week. It'll definitely pick up after thanksgiving as the -ber months are the peak in terms of sales especially November and December.

Well, at least this is better than hijacking someone else blog. I don't think this will get old, as it depends on the topic starter if he/she wants to update everyone of what's happening to him/her. You won't see me join the bandwagon for this. Props to you toku for sharing your life with everyone. I'm curious about your job at KB toys. What do you do there? do you have perks like free toys or something like that. I've always wanted to work for a toy store. Heck, the office of Toys R Us are just a few steps away.

Ah, cooking. Nobody actually taught me how to cook. When I was small I always helped out in the kitchen and that's how I managed to learn how to prepare meals. You don't actually need new ingredients to come up with new recipe. You just use whatever you get and improvise. French toast for example. Just beat up some eggs, put some milk and sugar, dip some bread in it and fry it. Or beat some eggs, mix some vegetables, a little salt and a pinch of pepper and some cheese and then fry, now you have an omelette. Change the vegetables to ham or something similar and you will have a different kind of omelette. Looking at the cookbook will be very expensive because they will ask you to buy this and buy that. What they don't usually tell you is that you can substitute some ingredients and still taste the same. For example, apples are expensive in our area, so to make apple pie, we substitute apple for gourd, and you won't know the difference. (Of course how you prepare this plays an important part) Also, if you have left over rice, pop in your frying pan some eggs, salts and chop some left over hotdog and you get fried rice.

Some people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You need lots of energy to start out your day, and one way of getting energy is to eat a healthy breakfast. Normally it is recommended that you eat the most breakfast, average amount for lunch, and a little for dinner. The logic here is that at night, you don't spend much energy because you are going to be sleeping, thus you won't be burning much calories. I usually take my breakfast at around 7 am. I used to wake up at 10-11 in the morning and eat brunch instead, but it makes me feel sluggish for the rest of the day. My favorite breakfast so far is a Hungarian Sausage. They taste way much better than regular hotdogs.

Based on thefirst pictures shown in this thread, their visors looks like the kanji for the element they represent. Yellow - Earth (土) Pink - Can't see clearly but I can make out Heaven (天) Green - Tree (木) Red - Fire (火) I've no idea what the blue one is but is sure has a vague resemblance to water (水)

Well for grits here a wiki for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grits As for oatmeal, it's composition is mostly oats. So when you cook it, it has a porridge like substance. For comparison, when you eat it, it tastes like a tiny cornflake soaked in chocolate. And an added comment on BK's post. If you eat Banana's, won't you be resorting to cannibalism? Additionally, sometimes I eat sausages and salami. Also Ryuki, if you are going to live in a foreign country living alone, you will need to learn to cook, as this will help save on food expenses. You also might want to take note that in asian countries, there is a high percentage of Men who knows how to cook. Besides, cooking is a plus factor for the ladies.

OMG! You guys actually made a blog. Now this will be interesting.

If you don't want to try the powdered miso base, then why not make your own? I'm sure there are tons of site that tell you how to make a wide variation of Miso Soup. Also for breakfast, I don't have a staple food. Sometimes I eat cereal, sometime I eat rice, there are times when I eat sandwiches. Porridge also can be served as breakfast. Right now, I'm eating chocolate oatmeal.

5 Minute Management Course. Lesson 1: A Man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.' After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs . When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?' 'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies . 'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?' Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. Lesson 2: A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.' Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.' Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity . Lesson 3 A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.' 'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas' driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.' Puff!: She's gone. 'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.' Puff! He's gone. 'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.' Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say. Lesson 4 An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.' So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up. Lesson 5 A turkey was chatting with a bull. 'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.' 'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.' The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree. Moral of the story: Bull $#!t might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there... Lesson 6 A little bird was flying south for the winter.. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him. Moral of the story: (1) Not everyone who $#!ts on you is your enemy. (2) Not everyone who gets you out of $#!t is your friend.. (3) And when you are in deep $#!t, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Really? In our area, married couples pay lesser tax, and having dependents will grant you tax exemptions. While having children will give you more exemptions. Based on the tax process in our region, one would conclude that the government is pro-life. Meaning that the more you have children (up to four), the more benefits you will have. Perhaps the main reason why proposition 8 was passed was because of the limitation on procreation. I'm not saying that gay couples can't have a family. That would depend on what kind of society they have. If the goal of gay marriage is simply to live together basing on love to for another, I fail to see the point why a marriage should occur. However, if the gay couples wants to take up the responsibility to take care of one another and make a family, like adopting a child, then I can say that a marriage would work. Laws governing gay marriage is just a paper and simply represents a physical manifestation of that union. In olden times, marriage contract does not exists.

Wow, "it's getting hot in here. (So take off all your clothes)" Ok, before this discussion gets any hotter, I would like to get something straight. I'm actually confused as to which stand you guys are on. Because as far as I understand it, what we are debating here is whether you are anti gay marriage or pro gay marriage. Obviously Kenji is pro gay marriage because of how he showed his distaste to proposition 8. Of course there is the grey area, meaning remaining neutral. But if you are neutral, then there is really nothing to debate about. And from the way I understand the posts above, Zeo is in the grey area explaining the principles of marriage while Ryuki misconstrued Zeo's post as anit-gay marriage. Is this correct?
