Everyone say hi to my good friend Red Rum

[Moonbear]

You people should be strapped into a cinema and forced to look at all the good movies out there. And yes, I'd pour a truck load of pop-corn on you, too.

I'll take the popcorn, but it wouldn't take long to watch all the good movies out since there are so few of them anymore.

Yay! Free popcorn! Of course, I would be drowning in it.
What year was The Shining anyway?

Probably before you were born. 1980. (I don't know how old you are, but based on you having never heard of the movie, I'm assuming that was before you were born.)

 

[Red Rum]

Hi everyone

Hi everyone. Sorry I missed the party, cause I could have used a few of those margaritas. Thanks for all the fish. When Evo thought me up she gave me some excellent , fascinating and slightly quirky personality traits. If anyone ever wants to know anything about anything fermented, including stinky cheeses, but excluding cadavers, I'm your man.

 

[Danger]

I've known who Phil Spector was since the Beattles era, and I have a VHS movie staring Lana Clarkson (or, more accurately, parts of her ). I never realized, until the above-posted photo appeared, how much he resembles a dandilion gone to seed.
I will readily admit that I've never seen any of the movies in question, and have no desire to. 'The Godfather' parts I-III came on TV last weekend, in a marathon. I switched to Discovery Channel. Sorry, just not my sort of entertainment. (On the other hand, I absolutely loved the new FF movie.)

Wow, I didn't realize Evo had such an active imagination that she could even make it post!

Welcome to PF, at long last!

As for fermentation, I prefer sticking with those of the beer and wine variety.

Me too. Evo made me a brewer. It probably fulfills some fundamental need.

You're here!

I hope to see you around here. You'd be a plus in biology, although your specialty only rarely comes up.

 

[Evo]

Yes, I thought a brewer would come in handy.

Hey, didn't you tend cattle at one time? Moonbear does sheep.

 

[Moonbear]

Moonbear does sheep.

Care to rephrase that?

If he's studied cattle fermentation, he'll have something in common with Iansmith too. (Um, fermentation BY cattle, not OF cattle. )

 

[radou]

Welcome, Red Rum!

(Btw, if Evo's mind can really "make it write", I wonder how many users here on PF are actually real people? )

 

[Red Rum]

Moonbear does sheep.

He "does" sheep? I have practiced AI, but I can never say I have done a cow or any other beast. Even during those long lonely nights in the saudi desert I was never tempted. Even though the camels were hobbled.

 

[Red Rum]

Evo

Thanks, Radou. And yes, she really is very talented.

 

[Lisa!]

Wow! So he's real not imaginary!

 

[Moonbear]

He "does" sheep?

See, now that comment even has you confused on my gender. I'm a "she." All of Evo's chocolate deliveries will be forwarded to my mailbox for that.

I have practiced AI,

That's okay, keep practicing and you'll eventually get good at it.

As for my involvement with sheep, I guess you could say I take their brains apart to figure out how AI works (or more importantly, what goes wrong when it doesn't work).

 

[Evo]

Moonbear is a she. She lures sheep into thinking they're about to get some nooky, then she cuts their brains open.

 

[Red Rum]

And well done whoever googled Red Rum, identified the horse and also made the link with murder. This link first came to public prominence when the IRA bombed Ascot during what I think was Red Rum's third victory. The British press had a field day.

 

[Evo]

(Btw, if Evo's mind can really "make it write", I wonder how many users here on PF are actually real people? )

It's just you and me.

 

[radou]

Not even tempted? Now, that's an iron will.

Thanks, Radou. And yes, she really is very talented.

And she obviously likes to flatter to herself in different ways.

 

[Red Rum]

Moonbear

Indeed I guessed she was a she and was inclined to take that into account in my reply, but decided to throw caution to the wind. Evo, why are you making me say these things. They'll think I'm insane.

 

[Red Rum]

Flatter, flagellate, what's the difference?

 

[Evo]

He was almost a priest. All of my imaginary friends have very intersting life stories.

And she obviously likes to flatter to herself in different ways.

You betcha.

 

[Red Rum]

An iron will. No, I've never resorted to one of those either.

 

[radou]

He was almost a priest.

Yup, *almost* -

An iron will. No, I've never resorted to one of those either.

- so, what's the story?

 

[Evo]

It's really nice having you on the fourm, although I know you are so super busy.

 

[Red Rum]

All of my imaginary friends have very intersting life stories.

Soon you'll see her imaginary friends will start talking to one another and will start getting their stories confused. Luckily, Evo has equipped me with a very extensive memory and enough life experiences to have completeed several lives over numerous centuries and even across diverse universes.

Right, this could become very interesting.

You're my masterpiece.

 

[Red Rum]

You're my masterpiece.

She says that now, but either she developes a new and improved model or I take over. I will dominate. Remarkable, even when she's offlline I carry on communicating. And a veritable carry on it is.

 

[Red Rum]

And now, good friends and true, i will take my leave of you with a view to investigating this erittrean restaurant where you eat your food without cutlery. The microbiologist inside me recoils, but it's worth it for the local beer served in a dried fruit (that's what it says in the review, I assume it's a hollowed out pineapple or something. I'll tell y'all about it later).

Thanks again for the party and the fish. Hope I haven't disappointed anyone.

Tot ziens

 

[Danger]

He said 'will', not 'maiden'. And I bet you have.

 

[Red Rum]

Iron will...
Iron Willie..
Willie of iron...
Rod of steel...

No, definitely not one of those either

 

[Evo]

Oh, I'm invisible, so you will never know when I am online.

 

[NoTime]

If we start getting posts from drunken sock puppets...

Welcome to PF.
The beer sounds interesting.
You'll have to give a TR on that.

 

[radou]

I bet this was your master plan all from the beginning. You knew exactly when your constant invisibility would come in handy.

Sounds interesting. Hopefully we'll get the full report on your return. I'm curious what sort of dried fruit works well for serving beer. And, hopefully only you and those close to you are dipping their fingers into the finger food. You have to have very good friends to join you for a meal at a place like that.

Hi Red Rum,

Glad you showed up! I was really beginning to worry about Evo!

Indeed. I instigated a hygiene inspection before entering the establishment in question. The food was interesting. Very hot and spicey and served on a very large and spongy pancake. The chicken breast was still attached to the bones, which made for interesting eating. The beer was a diappointment because while it's supposed to be Angolan (Monzonga, I believe) it is in fact brewed in Belgium and tastes like a typical strong, top-fermented Belgian beer. There was a second organic and fair trade beer that tasted the same but weaker. The company for whom I work still has a brewery in Angola (I believe we're the only one that stayed open during the civil war) and knowing the conditions prevalent there, I wouldn't recommend Angolan beer anyway...no offence intended to any Angolans on the forum. Mine was poured into a coconut shell.

I assume everyone is familiar with the fact that when you eat in such establishments, you only use your right hand (and your teeth, of course), the left one being reserved for sanitary activities. This puts an extra dimension on the old punishment for theft which entailed the removal of the right hand. Since this is the hand used for eating, the perpetrator is forever disbarred from eating or smoking socially and in countries where alcohol is illegal, this severely restricts opportunities for social intercourse.

I once worked in a dairy plant where the employees piled their food on just such a pancake and all chowed down together at lunchtime. Everything went smoothely until some of the brothers realized that there was an extra mouth participating at the feast who hadn't contributed anything. I'm guessing that it wasn't the first occasion that this indiidual has perpetrated such an activity because after the ensuing melee one guy was left dead on the canteen floor. Now that made for an interesting afterdinner conversation. Had to hire another forklift driver as well.

Just felt a need to share that experience.

Oh, I will be going back there, but next time I'll stick with the pilsener. I sampled the lamb and beef dishes (sounds wrong when you eat off a pancake) as well and both were excellent. And it's difficult to get really good lamb in Holland (in my experience) so that's saying quite a lot.

Sounds pretty good. I wouldn't mind a typical Belgian beer either, though am wondering if it tastes and better or worse in a coconut shell? I've only had frozen, tropical drinks in coconut shells (the sort that get served with cute little paper umbrellas in them).

What type of cuisine was it supposed to be? I ate at an Ethiopian restaurant where the food was similarly served. That was years ago, but I recall my thought when the restaurant was recommended was just what sort of cuisine would be considered Ethiopian, since at the time, all you heard about in the news was the famine in Ethiopia.

I once worked in a dairy plant where the employees piled their food on just such a pancake and all chowed down together at lunchtime. Everything went smoothely until some of the brothers realized that there was an extra mouth participating at the feast who hadn't contributed anything.

I was kind of hoping it would be one of the dairy cattle who was helping herself to the food and killed, not the forklift driver!

OK, I don't which of you got assigned to monitor Evo's meds this week, but you need to make sure she's actually swallowing the pill, and not just hiding it under her tongue and then spitting it out later.

Sorry. I'll try hiding it in a piece of chocolate next time.

MB, I was thinking the same thing about how the meal sounded like Ethiopian cuisine. I had it years ago, but I remember that instead of stuff getting piled onto the spongey pancake, we tore off portions of the pancake and used it to pick up the food. I found it very challenging, because most of the entrees were the consistency of soupy lentils! I have heard we have a Little Ethiopia area somewhere in L.A. so I am hoping to go try the food again.

 

[Evo]

The food was Eritrean..

Meds, I'm on meds now? What about my friends, they'll still be here, right?
