Friday Herb From Hell Open Comments

I don’t remember exactly when it happened (it must be hidden by my subconcious), but I remember the taste it left in my mouth. The metallic taste that reminds of the can enclosing the green beans, the foil that somehow remained attached to your leftovers and contacted your fillings while you were chewing on tomatoes, the battery one of your “friends” in grade school convinced you to touch with your tongue.
Coriander, the spice, adds a wonderful flavor to certain dishes. In its herbal form, it is the herb that Satan himself uses to torture souls in the lower levels of Hell.
I am speaking, of course, of cilantro. It lures you in by disguising itself in a parsley suit until it’s too late.

You think to yourself, “How bad can this be? It’s just a decoration, a garnish.”
That is how vile this herb is. It knows that if you were to know what it is beforehand that you would throw it in the nearest fireplace and kill it with fire.

Please, I’ve only discovered 367 so I don’t need you guys exaggerating my faults and weaknesses.

‘Fast and Furious’ Flashback: Big Sis Brags About Weapons Tracing Program In 2009
Napoletano emphasized how the DOJ will prosecute thwe arms dealers wh were selling the arms to los traficantes. First off, is it the dealers that are arming the narco lords? Nope. Eric Holder, however, seemed content to do so. So prosecute him.

#76; how the night turns out is yet to be seen. Rest assured he won’t be drunk. I found the following paragraph to be pretty funny. In 2012, I will be writing breathlessly about how America will be engulfed in flames should Mitt Romney not be elected president. I will write endlessly about his infallibility and his impeccable conservative credentials.… Read more »

Well, he is mortal but I picked that number simply to emphasize my point. But not only is a lack of reading NOT one of them, neither is him posting on a topic without a sound understanding as to what he’s talking about.

Good afternoon Hamsters. Doing the Snoopy Happy Dance again today in this glorious weather. Bright full Moon and 52 at 6, almost could be described as crisp. Clear blue sky, gentle breeze, absurdly low humidity (20%) and windows wide open at 1 pm makes this a perfect Fall day. Thank you, Lord.
