Interesting article on how Pat Tillman's family did his memorial service.

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/05/04/SPG5K6FD091.DTL

"Tillman's youngest brother, Rich, wore a rumpled white T-shirt, no jacket, no tie, no collar, and immediately swore into the microphone. He hadn't written anything, he said, and with the starkest honesty, he asked mourners to hold their spiritual bromides.

"Pat isn't with God,'' he said. "He's f -- ing dead. He wasn't religious. So thank you for your thoughts, but he's f -- ing dead.''

What? This didn't happen for God, as well as country? A professional athlete turned soldier, and we're supposed to believe that he'd have no use for piety? Robbed of a cliche, where does that leave us?

Challenge yourself."

The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Casserole

(Thanks to jfoxdavis for providing this to me.)

The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Casserole

To prepare for this ritual, clear a space for the circle in the center of the kitchen. Then don your ceremonial apron and hold your ceremonial spatula in your right hand. Stand in the center of the circle and face east. You are ready to begin:

With your spatula, draw a banishing pentagram to the East. Then, thrust your spatula through the pentagram and say,

"Microwave dinners, be gone!"

Move to the South. Again, draw a banishing pentagram and thrust your spatula through it.

"TV dinners, be gone!"

Move to the West. Draw the banishing pentagram and thrust your spatula through it.

"Ramen instant noodles, be gone!"

Move to the north. Draw the banishing pentagram and thrust your spatula through it,

"Mystery meat in a can, be gone!"

Move to the center of the circle and stand still. Chant the following:

Before me, Martha Stewart.
Behind me, Betty Crocker.
To my right side, Julia Child.
To my left side, Martha Stewart, AGAIN!
Visualize yourself standing in a giant casserole and proclaim,
"For about me bakes the casserole, and around me shines the 6-course meal."

Clap your hands three times and say, "It's a good thing." The rite is over.

If the ritual is not effective, please order take-out ASAP.

Iron Chef America - Ponderings.

Chatting about the recent "Iron Chef America" series, and I starting thinking about what I would like to see with future episodes.

Since the "torch", so to speak, was passed on to the US show, there's no reason to bring back the Japanese Iron Chefs. Which is good, because it allows the Food Network to bring on a host of challengers from the US, Canada, and Mexico. Though I *would* like to see a battle between Iron Chef Italian Masahiko Kobe, of the original series, and Iron Chef Mario Batali of the new series.

I would also *LOVE* to see them get rid of Bobby Flay. I utterly loath that smarmy, arrogant, twit. Plus, with the addition of Wolfgang Puck, he's redundant, as both of them do varients of neo-southwestern cusine. Now I realize, as the only one on the series that did battle in the original kitchen stadium, (and rather infamously at that), that having him back for the "battle of the masters" was needed. Fine, now dump him. Replace him with a pan-asian chef to serve as Iron Chef.

(On Edit), Also, Iron Chef Italian acted as an "auxilary" Iron Chef, only called out on special battles. The US version could do the same, except I would have two "auxilaries", one for French or neo-continental cusine, and one "Iron Chef Cajun" to show off specialties from that region.

Alton Brown did very good colour commentary for the series, but I have to admit I'd like to see him tag-team with one of the other iron chefs or a challenger. I don't think he'd do well on his own, but maybe in a tag-team situation.

Also, we already have the theme ingredient, but what if we did an occasional show where the chefs also had to *avoid* certain things. For instance, a no-dairy handicap, or a vegan-friendly qualification. (Though, let's be honest, there's no way that Iron Chef will ever appeal to the PETAphiles. However, as an additional challenge, it could be quite interesting to see.)

Just a few random thoughts.

What the hell????

I have to agree with rosefox, what the f**k??

The publisher of the Washington Times, BTW, is Sun Myung Moon, also head of the Unification Church, or "Moonies"

Ugly Wedding Dress of the Day

Some of the comments in the archives are hysterical. Like these ones from August of 2003:

"If you listen closely, you can hear the ghost of a 15th-century noblewoman scream"

"This dress is neither "true" nor "Renaissance" nor "beauty." Rather, it is an overly brocaded, pretentious piece of crap."

"This veil terrifies me. If I were a groom, and my bride came walking down the aisle in this (assuming that she can walk without tripping), I would run screaming into the night. "

"Why is this man standing in the background, naked except for some strategically placed tulle?"

"It's like she's giving birth to a strange creature via her head. Sort of like Zeus giving birth to Athena, only with a lot more tulle."
