How's it going kid?
You are in a position to guess the mystery ass.
I thought I'd warn you!

Now that sounds like a fun topic to study. Chillin' at bars observing people, that can't be for school? The part about guys rating themselves higher than women on a whole is interesting. To me it reflects the focus on beauty when related to women and what women feel they have to compete with. For example, beauty magazines, boob jobs and how men lean heavily towards looks when liking a girl. Dudes always think their don juan rico suave anyway.

You have to CHOOSE one (or more) before I send it to you!

Yeah, Bar -B - Q sauce is my second fave on fries.
I make my own.
It's very easy!
And waaaay good!
I can give you a semblance of a recipe if you want.
We had some of mine, ran out, and had some store-bought from the fridge -
What a difference!
The store-bought is so chemical-tasting.

Scared or scarred?
Probably both!

Ok, so I don't have a recipe but -

You start with a whole small can of tomato paste and put it in a pan on the stove.
Then you add the following:

Cider or white vinegar (crucial) - 1/4 cup or so

Maple Syrup and/or

Molasses (highly recommended - use at least some)and/or

Brown Sugar and/or

Honey

Worcester Sauce (I use a couple of dashes)

Salt (I don't know how much - a lot)

Mustard (I use dijon, but I've read recipes with dried mustard) (a tablespoon or 2)

Chopped clove of garlic (when I remember)

Cayenne pepper (teaspoon? 1/2 a teaspoon?)

And some water to thin it out a little bit

Simmer for like an hour or so

Voila!

I read the label on a bottle of natural bbq sauce and realized "hey, I could make this!", so I had no recipe or anything.
I just threw a buch of stuff in a pot an cooked it and it turned out great!
So, I like mine sweet, so I put both maple syrup and molasses.
Molasses is strong-tasting, so it's easy to use too much, but it's also a really common flavor in bbq sauce, so I always use it - like maybe 2 tablespoons.
Just relax and go nuts and put whatever you want in there!

sounds you are living a hockeydelightful life

a toast to sweet Canadian/Romanian young men - enjoy yourself young lady, life is short

Are you a MOD or a ROCKER?

2 choices.
2.

And they get along very well.
He has pulled her tail, but not very hard, and she didn't mind.
She's absolutely tolerant.

The shelter we got her from, North Country Animal League, is no-kill and totally cool.
They take transfers from kill shelters (where Stella came from), so...
Yeah they're great.
We're going to volunteer for them when we move up there.
Now I must read about your pain....

Hockey dude has good taste.

i can't believe how well you guys handled that, i would have smacked both of them. but then i despise drunk people, i could/would never work in or even near a bar!
all the best to you xox

I'm in love with this poem by Ted Hughes

Fragment From An Ancient Tablet

Above - the well-known lips, delicately downed.
Below - beard between thighs.

Above - her brow, the notable casket of gems.
Below - the belly with its blood-knot.

Above - many a painful frown.
Below - the ticking bomb of the future.

Above - a word and a sigh.
Below - gouts of blood and babies.

Above - the face, shaped like a perfect heart.
Below - the heart's torn face.

Thanks for the advice. I enjoyed your paper. I feel that there is plenty of genius or creativity in the working class. Funny how the artsy rich can have such stuck up views. To that I laugh!

Your paper made for interesting reading especially when viewed from the standpoint of someone living in the 21st Century.

Marx was very concerned that a capitalist socio-economic system would alienate the working class from the product of their labour and from the means of production. Looking back, I have to wonder whether the working classes care about this provided they (or perhaps I should say "we", since I own neither the means of production nor the fruits of my labour and hence I am working class according to a Marxist definition) can pick up a pay packet and spend it on beer or DVDs.

That may seem a harsh judgement but suffrage was extended to the working class in the UK a long time ago and if the working class cared about the same things that Marx cared about, you would have thought that voting patterns would have reflected this and that Britain would have almost a century of Socialist governments. (Ok I am restricting this to a discussion of the UK as I myself am from the UK but ask yourself if my comments could equally well be applied to the USA).

In truth, in the UK, the Conservative Party has been elected just as often as Labour. The UK has not had a Socialist government since 1979 (for the sake of argument, I will class Callaghan's Labour government as Socialist). In 1979, the Conservative Party under Thatcher ousted the Labour Party. Thatcher held the reins of power for three terms of office. Her successor John Major then held power for one term of office.

The next Government, although it was formed by the Labour Party could hardly be regarded as Socialist on account of the fact that, Tony Blair had 'modernised' the party making it electable by, among other things, removing Clause 4 of the Labour Party's constitution (the commitment to the common ownership of the means of production). Hence, the Labour Party is basically a capitalist party just like the Conservative Party. Between them, Thatcher, Major and Blair have won 7 General Elections. That's 7 occasions on which the British public voted not to have a Socialist government. The last time there was a Socialist party in government in Britain, I was 5 years old and you had not yet been born.

In Marx's day most of the working classes were uneducated peasants eking out a subsistence living from the fruit so the soil. In the UK today, the working classes are provided with state education up until the age of 16 with many being able to continue in education until the age of 18 taking A-Levels or even continuing their studies at university level. The whole concept of being working class has changed. Yes, the workers are still alienated from the fruits of their labour but they now have a state education system, a state healthcare system, employment rights including an entitlement to paid annual leave etc

So what does this say about Marx. Does this mean that he is no longer relevant, that he doesn't reflect the priorities of the 21st Century working classes?

Ok I am not trying to discredit Socialism. Socialism point of view with which I have a great deal of sympathy and I often despair of the extent to which (right wing) Liberal ideas seem to have infected the minds of most people I speak to, be it Tory or Labour supporters (honestly, the way some of these people speak, you'd think they would like it if we lived in an anarcho-capitalist society). However, it is hard to get away from the fact that most working class people couldn't care less about Socialism and that Socialism is only really given serious consideration by academics or extremists.

PS I absolutely love your new hair!!
