Do you think Frank Zappa was a kibologist?
Kibologists have always understood the importance and mandatory irrelevence
of Conceptual Continuity.

This is an Urban Myth. Everyone knows the InterNET is far too big for
anyone to appear all over it at once. There's SO MUCH INTERNET ITS ALL

I've heard a lovely theory about Gilligan's Island. Now, we all
know that were it a "real" situation, the Professor would have built a
raft and gotten them all off the island. So there has to be a reason why
he doesn't do that. The reason is, they want to STAY. They're running a
drug-smuggling and production ring from this island. You've got the
Professor who does chemical production and refining, Mary Ann in charge
of the botanical end, the Howells for money laundering, the Skipper for
navigation when it's necessary to make a trip to the mainland, and Ginger
for contacts. Now, Gilligan is oblivious. When strange people show up on
the island, like natives, or movie producers, or the Harlem
Globetrotters, they're there in disguise to make a delivery or pick up a
shipment. When weird things start happening, like Gilligan's teeth start
picking up radio stations, then the Professor has slipped a new,
experimental drug into Gilligan's system to see what it does to a
person. While it is certainly not what the creators had in mind when
they devised the show, keeping this theory as a framework for watching
the show makes it much more enjoyable and considerably deeper.

I think you're confusing Kibo with Serdar Argic. Lots of people knew where
Kibo came from (RPI) and who he was (the late Adm. James Perry).

No, HE wants to stay. He was performing a psychological experiment on the
other castaways.
And had it really been happening, the Professor and Skipper would have
names.

Gilligan's first name was Willie, and I think the Skipper's name was
Jonas Quimby. I just recently read the Professor's name somewhere,
but I can't remember it. Mrs. Howell did not have a first name (unless
it was "Lovey").

Better yet, let's start a thread arguing about it *now*, make occasional
side-references which semi-justify the crossposting of said thread to all
kinds of froups, until by mid-1999 it is running in some form or another in

Hey everybody, I just realized why that car on "Team Knight Rider"

There was no Year 0, so Year 1 B.C. was the LAST year of the 1st Century B.C.,
and Year 1 A.D. was the FIRST year of the 1st Century A.D.
So the Year 2001 is the FIRST year of the 21st Century.
So the Second Millenium will begin the first day of January, 2001.

What about the Knight Rider episodes with Michael's evil twin brother,
Garthe, and the big black semi-truck, Golaith? Shouldn't they be

the best thing about those episodes? how you could tell Garth was the
evil twin because he had a mustache! and how, even though Garth was
supposedly a genius, he couldn't design a Goliath truck that didn't
have a nice weak spot.

Wait a minute - haven't we already had two millenia? Two thousand
years has to be two complete ones.
And what about all those funny years where they get counted backwards?
Are BC millenia positive or negative? If they're negative, we have a
long ways to go before the net sum is positive. If they're positive,
we have millenia coming out the yinyang.

Come to think of it, I always wondered why they named cured pork after
an English dramatist. Also I feel there just isn't enough discussion
about pork products in these newsgroups. When, I ask you, did we last
have a really good thread about, say, prosciutto or pigs-foot jelly?
And the whole question of the relevance of spam fritters to the early
orchestral works of Frank Zappa has been largely overlooked, in my
view.

swallow the hook and think it doesn't matter. That's just a year, give
or take four or five based on discrepancies between the Julian and
Gregorian calendars, leap years, gerbil pizzas, anno dominoes,
Hollywood Squares, Wednesday, and an occasional day the earth stood
still because of alien invaders or Old Testament guys who hold their
hands in the air or blow trumpets and make X-Files sorta things happen
we can't understand.
So it's all kinda fucked and arbitrary from the outset - why the hell
should we get anal now just because we have Casio calculators that
plot nifty graphs that make us so self-assured that the empiral nature
of numbers is unquestionable?
Okay, if there was no zero year, then there was no zero millienium. In
the first case, we can write off just 365 days (and who amongst us
haven't done _that_ in just the course of a simple lifetime, whether
or not we intended it?), but writing off an entire millenium is some
bloody serious shit, Charlemagne, Holy Roman Empires, Batman, etc.
So, just for the hell of it, let's say zero counts - fuck the
mathematicians, it's what the people want anyway! They don't want a
resurrected Carl Sagan spoiling their Millenium Eve with
prognostications about nuclear winter and dingleberry distinctions
regarding beginning and endings of intervals.
No sir-REE!
They wanna fuckin' PARTY!
And what better excuse to party than having the Most Significant Digit
of our annual counting system roll over! Hot Damn! It's bigger than
The Turtles! I be gettin' a Woody just thinkin' 'bout it and it's
still over two years away! Holy Fuck! The BIG ONE way over on the left
is gonna become a BIG TWO! Oh, please, somebody fuck me right now,
it's totally fucking AWESOME!

Have you ever had really good head cheese? One of my uncles used to make
the stuff and may still as far as I know. Sure you can buy it, but does
some nameless manufacturer include ALL of the snout? ALL of the brain?
Just ALL of the whole hog's head goodness that goes into a really fine head
cheese? My guess would be that not only do they not maximize the use of
the hog, they probably just toss out a lot of fine material that could do a
head cheese proud but instead wends it's way into our hot dog industry. So
when you ask for head cheese, ask whether it's 100% head cheese.
And don't forget the blood sausage!
P.S. The first question of mine was a trick question. There is no such
thing as good head cheese.

Yesterday. I invited a vegetarian friend to the Chinese Restaurant down
the street as soon as I read that Kibo had declared pork to be a vegestable.
Yay!
But that still leaves the problem of Altoids, which (sorry, Jenn)
is not vegetarian because it's has cattle geletain. (Fun fact:
Altoids started advertising heavily in the USA when their
sales plumeted in Europe over the scare on British products
possibly carrying Mad Cow Disease.) ALTOIDS MUST BE REORBITED

I haven't ever made prosciutto - you gotta keep the stuff at 60
degrees and 70% relative humidity for 6 months as it slowly dries out.
It tends to get moldy, but you just wash that off. But, here's a nice
recipe for a BBQ rub (ay, here's the rub...):
SOUTHERN BBQ RUB
2 Tablespoons kosher salt
2 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons ground cumin
2 Tablespoons chile powder
2 Tablespoons freshly-cracked black pepper
1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper
4 Tablespoons paprika
Simply mix together thorougly. Use liberally on meats to be
slow-cooked barbecued. There is some contention amongst purists as to
whether a "rub" is really rubbed into the meat or just sprinkled on.
Either way, wrap up the brisket or pork butt after you've coated it
and let it sit in the fridge overnight - or, if you're gonna cook it
in the night, overday.

With turpentine and acetone. Did you ever notice that if you
spell "acetone" backwards you get "erotica"? But it only works
if you're smelling it.

Don't use that other salt that's made by distilling bacon.

For REAL spicy BBQ, take your chili and cumin and cilantro and coriander
and put it in a pile and sprinkle the meat on it.

Spot tried to cook it at night in his Easy-Bake Oven but it's never night
inside an Easy-Bake thanks to that glamorous General Electric hunnerd-watter.
So his Easy-Bake oven just made the meat rawer and rawer. Poor Spot!
He got trichinosis just from looking at it!

Head cheese does not include the snout or jowls (these are used to
make a pancetta-like bacon). It does include the ears and tongue - but
not the brains (these are cooked separately, most excellent with eggs,
but nearly prohibitively high in cholesterol) - and usually the pork
liver as well. If you are interested in snout-like things, I have a
recipe for jellied moose nose I'll be happy to post. Seems there is a
"light" and a "dark" meat to a moose's nose, and proper serving means
alternating them in the mold before pouring in the cooking broth
(which becomes an aspic, of sorts).
>And don't forget the blood sausage!
aka, "black pudding". A little less disgusting is what the original
German andouille was - a casing stuffed with more casings!

Wrong by my account - there is a sausage shop north of Delaware, OH on
route 23 called Mom Wilson's that makes an excellent head cheese
(though they call it "puddin'"). You boil in down in water, let it fry
slightly, then add some cooked barley. I can't get the good stuff down
here in NC, so every time I go back home to Columbus, OH, I drive up
to Mom Wilson's and buy a few pounds for my freezer. It's best
accompanied by crepe-thin buttermilk pancakes topped with homemade
brown sugar syrup, washed down with a dopplebock.

..oh, and BTW, no - the USDA does not allow these things in hot dogs.
They are made mostly from pork shoulder and are more likely to be
"extended" with vegetable proteins (like soy powder) than offal. The
emulsifying process used to make them (meat alone in a gigantic food
processor is chopped fine near the freezing point. this gradually
raises the temperature to around 40 degrees, where the fat is added -
it won't properly emulsify without it - then it is processed to about
45 degrees and the fillers are added - they'd be kinda limp without
'em). Things like gristle and such simply cannot be emulsified - they
would stay in large inedible chunks and there would be no way to hide
them. Better to sell the ears for $4 a pound to yuppies for their dogs
to chew on while they make burnt weenie sandwiches out of Hebrew
Nationals. In general, there are ethnic markets for all offal that are
too lucrative to use them inappropriately in sausages. For example, on
the retail level you can expect to find pork shoulder (primo hot dog
stuff) for under a buck-fifty a pound while something like tripe or
beef tongue costs closer to four. IOW, it simply is not legal, not
possible, and very commercially unfeasible to put those things in
weenies.
