The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Memes that made me laugh 231
Gathered from around the Internet over the past week. Click any image for a larger view.
Apparently the Mt Etna thing is untrue, but climate "science" is still concentrated essence of bullshit. Pardon my french. CO2 levels have been orders of magnitude higher in the past, and life thrived.
Unusual reaction to number one. The problem with Crisco vs butter isn't the large number of steps to purify the oil they process out of those soybeans, the problem is the oil they're getting. Purification is good, and all those steps are purifying the oil. The problem is that polyunsaturated fats, by definition, have several unsaturated chemical bonds in each molecule, and those are easy places for other chemicals to attack the fat and make it poisonous.
And all that goes back to the myth that saturated fats, like in butter, or some of the fats in beef, are dangerous. The beef, butter or, yes, bacon drippings are far less likely to be made poisonous than the soybean oil.
I put between 20K and 30K miles on my car, commuting in mixed freeway, country, and city driving but somehow my wife, who puts about 1500 miles on her car in town knows more about how I should be driving than I do...
...There ARE flying pigs... They're called "CHICKENS." And yes, their wings ARE delicious...
There's a thing called Pig wings, the shank portion of the lower legs & slowly smoked with apple makes them most delicious. Kinda hard to find & rather expensive but worth it. Pioneer meat I think.
God saw his creation was lonely. So he went to Adam and said. I shall provide you with the perfect mate. Loving , caring and will care for your needs. Adam said. That sounds nice. How much will that cost? God replied , An arm and a leg. Adam then asked what he could get for a rib instead. And now we know the rest of the story.
I recently rolled out from under my truck (on jack stands) after FINALLY getting the transmission up, engaged, and bolted into place (in gravel, and with only a floor jack), only to see the throw-out bearing sitting all nice in clean in the bag on top of it's box next to the front wheel.
Did that with a seal in the back side of the bell housing on an Opel once back in the 70’s. The shop rules were you could drink on the job, but you had to bring it. You could smoke dope if you shared with the boss. Bring your own tools and do not borrow . Never ever eat anyone else’s lunch or you will be fired.
Mmmmmmm . . . Haggis . . .
ReplyDeleteBeethoven put cannon in "Wellington's Victory".
ReplyDelete#1 should have bacon drippings and lard next to the butter, heh.

ReplyDeleteLook up Hunga Tonga’s 2022 eruption. That was orders of magnitude bigger than Mt Etna’s little burp.

Food oils:
DeleteIf the oil is derived from Pressing something, it's good. If it's derived from HEATING something, it's bad. PERIOD...
