Eat like a Zimmern

Wouldn’t Rachael Ray be a better pick for 30 minute meals? I mean, that her gig, right?

Rachel Ray’s excrement is already branded.
You can only rely on perky for so long, RR is the new Emeril.
Can’t really cook, little to go on other than a catch phrase and fawning garlic lovers. It’s only a matter of time before she is cleaning toilets.

Hater. Just because you haven’t been offered a talk show…

I kind of like Zimmern (and his blog), but his Travel Channel show is starting to get on my nerves…but I’ve already talked about that.

I’m just in a bad mood. Scalia goes on 60 minutes and pledges that he is supporting precedent and that his personal feelings have nothing to do with how he votes then goes ahead and ignores a 41 year old precedent with regard to voter registration. It’s time for action. If you vote republican in the next election forget about a civil word from me ever again. With one maybe two Supreme court justices potentially stepping down we could install a republican supreme court for the next 35 years.

Say goodbye to property rights, legal and safe abortion, equal protection under the law. The list goes on and on.

Did I miss something? Oh, sweet Christ, don’t tell me Zimmern is going to eat an aborted fetus on his show! BLAARRRGH!!!!

We went from 0 to baby eating in about 1 hour and 20 minutes. We’re losing it people. Let’s pick up the pace now!

Laughing at the thought of a Target-branded aborted fetus. Where do you suppose they put the bullseye?

hahahahahahahaha

I’m going to hell.

“Wouldn’t Rachael Ray be a better pick for 30 minute meals? I mean, that her gig, right?”

I find that a 30 minute meal usually takes me one to two hours to complete. Things like washing, chopping, dicing, etc., are not accounted for in the 30 minutes.

i hate zimmern, that talentless douche.

I’m going to hell.

Was there any doubt?

See you there, brother.

Yeah, I heard the Scalia interview yesterday or something. I also saw Bizarre Foods. I’m just not clear on how the two are linked. So very, very unclear.

I’m going to rule the Scalia comment non-germane on the grounds that it greatly expands the scope of the thread.

(gavel)

Try an undercooked, unproperly stored hot dog from the Target snack bar. There’s a meal adventure that will keep you busy for more than 30 minutes.

Hot dogs and abortions. My kind of thread.

I was attempting to explain why I was grumpy in an attempt to counter the “hater” comment. Did not wish it to derail the thread.

Also where are the props? I posted this link yesterday in this thread.

AbortionDogs”

That was a TM that was destroyed by MNSpeak.
My joke has been ruined.

I noticed that, Simpleton. I’m sure you know that on this site, “hater” is a term of endearment.

To make a ™ you type ‘& t r a d e ;’ and voila!

Mmmmm … AbortionDogs™

Sometimes we make a big pot a chili, buy some Hebrew Nationals (or Heebs as we call em at home), and then make Chili AbortionDogs.

I don’t mind Zimmern. I can see where he wouldn’t be some people’s cup of tea.

Hot dogs can’t get you pregnant.

I call ‘em HebNats. There’se a big Hebrew National plant near my Mom’s house in Indianapolis.

I doubt it was strictly kosher, but I had a darned good chilidog at Connie’s Creamy Cone yesterday for lunch. Hmmmm.

Hot dogs can’t get you pregnant.

No, but they can make you feel like your having an abortion.

Dammit, mb, it’s AbortionDogs&trade!

They’re the responsible choice.

I say let’s bring back the Dog ‘n Suds!

practice™

AbortionBurger” in paradise.

testing™ Wonderful™ I’m lovin’ it!™

I’m glad I’ve started a trend on MNSpeak. I feel like I’ve left my mark on society and can quit trying now.

A few things that must now be trademarked.

AbortionDogs&trade
OMGWTFBBQGOP08&trade
The AZ3&trade
Any Other Ongoing Inside Joke&trade

Bix: don’t forget to put the semicolon after the “e” in trade.

What does the semicolon do?

Jeremy, I was going to link to your AbortionBurger™ but I’m pretty sure I would be fired instantly for looking at your blog from work.

How about this one instead?

In addition to dividing up sentences into equal but related clauses and separating items on a list, the humble semicolon book-ends a special symbol call in HTML, the other bookend being the ampersand.

Ergo, &trade = &trade, but ™ = ™

Yeah, it looks exactly the same to me when I type &trade and ™

Different browsers react to html differently; some are a little more lenient. My browser, in the meanwhile, is unable to figure out &trade without the semicolon.

I see what you mean. I just looked at the same page in Firefox.

supposedly Zimmern is an a-hole who has a superior mentality when he’s in non-western countries… something about being a diva if his hotel room isn’t perfert.

oops, that’s perfect. :)

Your semicolon flushes your system after you have your cup of Zimmern tea and RR as a 30 min meal.
