Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier
"Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas
"Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex
Yeah, I saw this too. Combine it with the story of Keith Sampson’s battle with the campus thought police at Indiana University and you’ve got a real double left-wing whammy:

Heading home from the office … have a great night!
Nothing like Thai’ing them to a social label for sailing to Curry favour with the foriegn dishes. It would be simply falafel if they failed to appreciate the lessons their bitter, er, betters were trying to serve up.
Of course, considering the respect with which British Culinary practices are held, adding a little tobasco might not be such a bad thing.
Beats swirling it altogether in a bucket with the eggs on top, eh?
i, for one, welcome our new Spice Overlords…
My wife has recently experimented with Tofu and vegetables. Another health food “friend” also convinced her to serve juiced carrots and spinach for a quick snack . I say kids have a right to say yuk to food that is “foreign” to them.
I’m not only *intolerant* but seeking government intervention before my boys storm the kitchen with pitchforks and torches.
AW1: Funny stuff. Blandest food week of my life was leave in England (Newquay ’81). Thank God for fish & chips, and lots of beer (which is – by the way, food; I’ve seen the t-shirt proclaiming it so).
On topic: scary spice from the country that brought us the sp…..oh, never mind.
bs,
Jej… I find it amazing that these sorts of idiocies are eminating from the same country that developed the deep-fried chocolate bar.
Seriously. You take a bar like a Milky Way, and pusj a popsicle stick or other such item into one end, then freeze. When ready, the bar’s wrapper is removed, the whole thing swirled in beer batter, then into the deep fryer, ala the Corn Dog. The bar is thawed by the heat, and the result is several hundred grams of artery-clogging ambrosia.
Well, sure, They’re all disarmed. Now they can be toyed with like a cat plays with a mouse. Doesn’t matter what they think or what they do, they no longer have the means to rise up and overthrow their masters.
Will they leave room for one wafer thin mint?
AW1 Tim-
Traditionally it’s a Mars Bar.
Fox News just reported that Brown enjoyed a six-course lunch and an eight-course dinner upon his arrival in Japan for the G8.
And then there’s this for the sin of gluttony: http://www.nathansfamous.com/PageFetch/getpage.php?pgid=38
So long as their remain Brussel Sprouts there will remain discrimination within the food groups.
The solution here is to force traditional British foods upon all students. Once they see “Toad in a Hole” or haggis they’ll run screaming back to Algeria or wherever it is they came from.
And if that doesn’t stop them? Lutefisk.
If they ever make it to America I’m armed with both tater-t0t casserole and carrots-in-jello salad.
You can have my biscuits and gravy when you pry them from my cold, dead skillet.
Ya know, it seems sort of funny, until you realize some are sort of serious about it.

How does that joke go? Hell is a place where the police are German, the Administrators are French, and the food is prepared by the British.
Max – Would you share your tater-tot recipe with us?
