Timmah!

Just gonna betray Pokemon like that...

Two I bought last refresh arrived. One I had to buy after 'making sure it was good' for a friend before I mailed it to her: Jardin. Heady, obviously going to richly develop in breadth & complexity. Can already detect the the two Jasmine notes; the fresh, musky, earthy sense & vibe is there, too. Does remind me of walking through woods after a nice summer's warm-afternoon shower... where all the plants & base organic matter release their fragrances in a humid mist. Motivates me to be outdoors asap. The River Fougere has a nice, classic vibe. Relaxing, rich, fresh, creamy, soapy/shaving cream, spicy thing. Reminds me of my Dad, & especially when I visit the shop where he took me as a child. Anyone familiar with a barbershop & it's scents naturally associates them with relaxation of a/the barbershop.

Man, fuck those potatoes! Not literally Rob, leave those spuds alone.

Lost in translation was that he meant like sucking on a pacifier.

I know: He got beat-up, then robbed by one of the h00kers on the waterfront.

Why?

One of my favorite channels:

These guys are too funny, seriously should watch this, if you're reading this.

Well, there you have it. Since Warpog thinks it's silly, ban it!

Oh, I know; all my rigs, save 1, have been built by yours personally. First one was actually an assignment in Jr. High computer lab. Actually like tweaking the cpu, memory voltage settings & timings when a rig gets older & I'm not so worried about stressing it. Overclocking is cake nowadays. But I digress.

I remember back in the '80s, when I was in high school, DOS is what all the computers ran in the computer lab... no Windows yet.

Don't need any help, I'm a master baiter.

Hey Fella, that's not very nice!

I knew some months back, after having experienced the 1st scent I bought, that it would be a rabbit hole of sorts. The breadth of notes & accords, the range & mix of scents, is truly astounding. Ambergris, Oudh, Petrichor, Fougeres, Chypres, florals, freshies with Bergamot...Cardamom. Quality frags are leagues beyond designer fragrances. Truly amazing.

I would, but I'm playing a game called: "Work 80 - 100 hrs./wk. Will when time permits.

Thought you were playing Conan or something?

No, just read it like the pretty kitty wasn't my ass; I was like: 'Huh?'. Why do you ask if we're related? I was thinking it was a strange & obvious non sequitur (the cat not being my ass).

I had to read that a 2nd time.

Pig-lo's pet.

Post pics of your pets!

Meh, got 'grown' people feeling pissy, so they bring it, in one form or another, to the internet. Then one usually finds another. Then admins have to play babysitter for the attention whore(s). Waaah.

The oven part is totally not needed & something one can do maybe 3 or 4 times a year, but as much baking as I do, might as well crank 'er up to 500 & do a deep seasoning while I'm at it.

I've made about every style of pizza. Chicago deep dish, Chicago thin crust, normal crust, Detroit Style, Ny Style, Sicilian styles, Neapolitan style (can't make an actual Neapolitan yet, because I don't have an oven hot enough...yet) I've made literally 10's of thousands of pies in my years...having worked at a couple pizza joints over the years....& at home. I even have several yeast cultures I maintain in my refrigerator to add particular flavor profiles to accommodate & enhance whatever I'm particularly making. Even grow heirloom tomatoes & make my own sauce from them now and again. Recently added a couple new cultures to the gustatory lineup:

Lol, you say that as I'm about to post an 1 1/2 hour long video of making the dough, the hoagie rolls & the sammich. Too lazy to edit. Cooking's really as simple as following instructions & paying attention to detail. Thanks for the compliment.
