ENY, my Atlantic Antic comment was tongue in cheek. It was like joking that he loves animals so much that he insists his pillows are all stuffed with down.
I agree with what you said at 12:30. I didn’t just fall off the maple syrup truck.
Political correctness has to do w/ ideas, not people. Ideas, issues & individuals are what polarize, not entire groups who defy categorizing. To take an example, politically incorrect as I am, even I know some reasonable Republicans.
Snappy, it has to be someplace that will allow us to bring outside food in, yet also allow for the copious consumption of fermented beverages. Who’s going to volunteer their home?
I hear you, biff. I am similarly conflicted and don’t know what I will do. My big fear with Bloomberg? He’ll become even more of a little dictator than he already is. He runs roughshod over people he thinks can’t push back, or are too poor to have power. I’ve seen him do it- and he’s doing it in CHN.
This element of Chinese you are talking about is a very small minority. I know that it can seem large if one is talking about Ave U – I know that scene too. However, please remember that we Italians were long smeared in the same way (and it still happens on certain days on this very site). I grew up in Bensonhurst/Gravesend, and LONG bristled at the yuppie idiots who would casually assume that anyone from that environment was some type of gangster or racist. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Don’t make the same mistake here.
I work in engineering, and I can tell you that if it were not for Asians, the US’s engineering know-how would long be decimated. You seem like a good guy – don’t let the scene on Ave U spoil your view of an entire group of people.
Look guys, I don’t need any re-education or anything. The original remark was meant to be an attempt at humor. There is an element of truth to it and that was what I was defending… If we can’t speak honestly about what’s going on w/out fear of offending people we will never get anything done here. It’s pretty difficult to speak about anything related to any ethnic group w/out generalizing. I’ve heard many infalmatory (probably worse) references to Italians being criminals, etc. by many of you same mofos. If you guys shut the fuck up about this I will: case closed
CH – taht sounds delish b/c it makes it more hearty, right?
I usually use lamb neck in my stock and use a touch of canned tomato sauce in my stock as well and loads of thyme and bayleaf
what were the other ingredients

where’s this Avenue U with all the Asians??? I gotta get my ass over there.

“let’s nail down this potluck clambake!”
I’ll make baked clams.

“I met More 4 Less I think”
You sure it was him, Joe. Apparently they all look alike.
