You can have them if you have all the ingredients and please send some over here then.
I'll also have a World Wide Stout to go with it, that's something I can't get here in Belgium.

Sending you an image of a Shrimp Po Boy

and another of some tasty exotic stouts from around the place..

That's the best I could do on short notice.

Can you see the difference before and after Jared's speech telling the states to **** off and fend for themselves?

Next week the website will just read "Stockpile? What stockpile?"

I first read Orwell's 1984 back in /82. My take then was this falls in the scifi dystopian genre. Turns out it was very accurate predictive social fiction.

How could you have read it in 1982?

Hint: The clue is in the title, genius.


Too easy.

The sad truth is there will be some that agree. It is just too easy.

We are living in Brave New Worl countries where knowledge reason is often buried under piles of rubbish and where many people are unable to distinguish the one from the other. It's China that is more like an Orwell state.

I know I've cited "Amusing ourselves to death" previously; really need to read the actual work instead of just the cartoon.

Why not both?

 

[In The Name of Zod]

Why not both?

I say that about a lot of things I consume. Like this tasty chocolate cake and beer.

Best thing you can do in a Dystopian society where you are always being watched to eat and drink like a king at all times.

At least you can be sure you won't have to suffer for an extended period of time.

Speaking of being "showy", I read an interesting piece on Chinese culture somewhere, discussing the original Chinese mentality in contrast with what the nation is doing now.

Original Chinese social behavior was to keep your dwellings' exterior nondescript & even a bit on the shabby side, while making the interior opulent & clean.

Modern China applies the opposite thinking, much as New York does, with being flashy & investing heavily in appearances, while letting the innards rot. As an easy example, China experts estimate that it's overstated its GDP by about 20%... forever.

I think there are 8 parts to the series. Be sure to watch them all.

Thanks Zod. I don't like shrimp though, neither do I like Blonde beers. I do enjoy stouts though. So the stout and the chocolat cake for me.

Boris Johnson has been moved to the ICU. I hope he doesn't suffer long.

 

[In The Name of Zod]

I'm going to call this one, I said it now here's the follow up. The ccp are just scoping up people remains and sticking them in urns. I have to laugh at this point, maybe they should just give people an empty urn and pour all the ashes out into an 'all you can eat buffet' rotating table tops and let the relatives get the best scoops for themselves.
