Do Lawtalkers Dream of Electric Sheep?

OK, so no one was speaking about cheese today, but I thought of this yesterday during the raging cheese debate (and really, how can someone not like cheese? it's a perfect food!), but was too distracted by the deliciosity of the cheese I was eating to type it.

In this fancy-pants cheese store, I bought a variety of cheese (made in Utah, of all places?!?) that has coffee and lavender around the outside. I grant you that it sounds disgusting -- but it is heavenly, I tell you. HEAVENLY!!

I think it's called "Barely Buzzed" or some such nonsense.

In a delicious, starchy way. My mom makes something similar. I'll dig up the recipe for you.

You've already laughed twice today and complimented Hank. What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you okay?

Now that I am thinking about it, I feel guilty and confused and bad.

Thanks.

The word "raging" really only works well before "boner".

That is all.

If it helps, and if I had a y chromosome, eating really good cheese would give me a raging boner.

You assume that all prayers are made to some traditional form of deity. I pray, but not to any "God" as you know the word.

Is your "God" starchy or does he have innate flavor?

This is true. But as Flower noted, I am a victim here.

And I do think there is a general preference for protein and fruit over grain products. But I am also biased. Grain products and starches fuck up my stomach, so I'm discriminatory in my commentary. And no, Fringey, Prilosec doesn't cut it for me any more. But I'm not going for a fucking endoscopy.

I might just be mad the world can enjoy pizza I can't.

I have never heard of grains/starch as aggrevating reflux (having experienced some of it myself). The burbon and fatty foods (even your steak) sound like more likely suspects to me, at least based on my own experience, my father's experience (he has had the endoscopy) and what I have read.

And here i thought "raging hard-on" was the proper phrasiology.

It is. As is "raging erection" for the clinical folk.

Or, with respect to pizza at least, the tomato sauce. Bread/starch should not cause reflux (I generally associate more with acidity or spice). Not sure what the symptoms of wheat gluten sensitivity are, but I don't think they include reflux.

Yeah, pepperoni pizza is a killer for me. The tomato sauce combined with the fattiness of the cheese and the spiciness and greasiness of the pepperoni.

Anyway, thank Hank* for Prilosec.

Actually, Sebastian considers you to be a God. But remember . . . life goes on within you and without you.

In honor of Sebby, I had fettucine with wild boar ragout. Yum.

2 to Sebby. Indie darling Cat Power recorded her 2006 album "The Greatest" in Memphis, "pursuing this time the slinky Hi Records sound of the 70s, famed for its sensuous feel and beguiling rhythms. She got Al Green’s guitarist and songwriting partner Mabon 'Teenie' Hodges to play guitar on the whole album (Teenie co-wrote 'Love and Happiness' and 'Take Me to the River,' among other soul classics). With Teenie came his Hi Rhythm bandmate (and brother) Leroy 'Flick' Hodges, who plays on half of the album (Memphis A-team bassist Dave Smith supplements). Anchoring the band is Steve Potts, whose reputation on drums was solidified when the surviving members of Booker T. and the MG’s asked him to replace their late drummer, Al Jackson. Other top Memphis musicians guest on keyboards, horns and strings. Cat Power went right to the sources, and has created her own paean to the songs and styles she grew up on."

Granted, a lot of indie music today sounds like stuff that came out in the 80s or 90s. Bloc Party sounds like Gang of Four. Interpol sounds like Joy Division. Arctic Monkeys sound like Supergrass. But there's a wide variety of indie music out there.

Are you sure it was recorded in Memphis? I thought it was recorded in Nashville. I also happen to think it's one of the top ten discs recorded in the last five years.

As I noted previously, the exchange between PLF and I was basically the same "PLF is tragically hip, albeit in a discomfittingly androgynous way" and "Wonk is a decaying old fuck stuck in the 60s and borderline senile" schtick we've done many times before.

It's all good, Jackie Boy.

I do not eat things that walk on four legs, so I prefer pasta to steak.

Steak almost always comes from the dead cow's torso. It has no legs. And it's dead. So it doesn't walk.
