Comments:
<0> D-side: do you like steaks?
<1> his cooking has improved *a lot* since then
<2> Liandrin: I've been brought up to only use cast iron grill pans for meet
<1> D-side, I'm not talking about blue, I'm talking about Cajun-style *blackened* on the outside
<2> s/meet/meat/
<3> Liandrin: Becky would pay good money for a pan like that. almost everything she cooks comes with onion and garlic :)
<0> my old man had a cast iron skillet that he had to sandblast
<1> wlfshmn, my kitchen is underequipped
<2> Liandrin: mine is horribly overequipped when compared to what I actually use it for
<2> Liandrin: I have like two clay pots, and I could serve a prty of 24 drinks of any sort, pretty much
<1> I used to have a nicely equipped kitchen, but I lost a lot of stuff when we moved out of crazy-bitch-psycho-roommate's place last year
<3> iron skillets dont' work well unless you have a gas stove. I cook electric
<0> I wish I had a gas range, the electric flat-top range I have ****s
<1> I seemed to end up with most of her good knives, though, so it didn't entirely work against me
<0> gas range and electric ovens. thats the way to go
<1> but I'm still pissed about losing my pasta pot
<3> in a rented place, so don't want to invest in a decent kitchen
<4> TenBaseT: medium rare
<2> Liandrin: Hell, my delicate porcelin is from the turn of the century, and I have a mathcing set of silerware in real silver..
<3> if I ever settle long enough to buy, I will fit a good stainless-steel kitchen - gas hob, gas/electric oven etc
<2> Liandrin: my grandmother seems to have collected stuff like thts, because my mother has piles of it
<4> TenBaseT: i was raised in a household that despises the use of electricity for cooking.
<2> I don't trust myself near gas ;)
<0> the ****? did you have a hibachi in the kitchen?
<1> wlfshmn, my grandparents have stuff like that, but they're still alive, so...
<4> Liandrin: nothing wrong with eating blackend.
<4> TenBaseT: no, just gas stove/oven
<2> Liandrin: oh my mother kept the -good- stuff
<2> Liandrin: this is the -spare- stuff, and my brother has something akin to it
<2> Liandrin: the kit we were outfitted with when we moved into our appartments was rather extensive
<1> wlfshmn, although my great-grandmother (originally Danish) is the reason I collect Royal Copenhagen Christmas plates ;)
<2> I dont' really collect anything..
<2> well.. thats not true
<0> when we moved into this house there wasnt a gas hookup in the kitchen so we bought an electric stove against my better judgement
<4> i'm sorry
<2> for some reason, I'm collecting current canadian militaria ;)
<5> Liandrin: She's the reason you collect plates? I always thought it was because you weren't a hetero***ual :) *runs!*
<1> I've not cooked much on gas, so I don't really have much experience
<4> TenBaseT: move the stove into the laundry room and the dryer in the kitchen. :D
<1> Falchion, well, she had every plate until the year of her death
<1> Falchion, and I always loved the collection
<3> in the uk its illegal to do anything with the gas for yourself - even plug a cooker into a endcapped pipe
<5> Liandrin: Personally, my grandparents collections make me want to never collect what they collect. But thta's just me and i'm weird.
<1> Falchion, and since I don't think I'm going to inherit hers for probably another 40 years...
<4> DaveHowe: really?
<6> aah... its installed. /me wanders off for a quick game of farcry
<0> DaveHowe: in new jersey it's illegal to dispense your own gasoline from a pump.
<1> Falchion, they went to my grandfather on my great-grandmother's death, and they'll go to my father or one of my aunts/uncles when he dies, so...
<4> TenBaseT: and will remain that way.
<1> TenBaseT, also Oregon
<5> Liandrin: heh I could NEVER collect plates. In the army I used to collec t action figures though. Not anymroe but back then I did.
<0> oh yeah, thats right
<5> Liandrin: Got pics of your plates?
<1> this is weird, the topic of pumping one's own gas has come up several times in several channels across several networks in the last several days
<1> Falchion, let me see where they are in my webspace, I lost a bunch of domains
<2> Falchion: Nothing like a GI Joe to make an infantryman feel safe eh? ;)
<1> Falchion, http://www.zive.ca/royal-copenhagen/
<1> Falchion, although that list is two years out of date
<3> D-side: yeah, you have to be either CORGI registered, or an apprentice to someone who is CORGI registered
<5> wlfshmn: Actually, I DID keep Flint and Snakeeyes on display :)
<5> Liandrin: A coupel of those are neat. 1982 is cool
<3> D-side: which means in practice, a snotty nosed 17 yr old does the work while you pay a plumber stupidly high prices to sign off on it...
<2> Falchion: ;)
<4> DaveHowe: yeah. figures
<4> DaveHowe: no such laws are in effecthere.
<2> Liandrin: Looks like the kind of plate where you get the one for the year you were born ;)
<5> wlfshmn: I had anime figures, Farscape figures (which led to my 1SG being awesoem to me), etc. Roomate collec ted DBZ crap. Next door collected sports figures... Everyone had somethign in the army.
<2> 1SG?
<5> 1st Sergeant . The 1SG runs the unit basically. 2nd highest enlisted rank in the army.
<1> I just added the 2004 and 2005 plates to that page
<2> Falchion: ah, whatcha know, I didn't know there was such a rank.. then agian, i've never had a reason to memorize them ;)
<5> wlfshmn: I had to :)
<1> I have several more, including the 1911 plate (the one I'm most pleased with, and was actually one of the cheapest plates in the collection, despite its value)
<5> Liandrin: 2005 is kinda neat
<2> Falchion: Indeed, it makes more sense if the reaosn is to not insult your bosses ;)
<5> wlfshmn: You can go to jail for ot showing proper respect in the army. heh
<1> I need to unpack them all and hang them
<1> which will be a bit of a bitch, because there's about 23 of them
<2> Falchion: Weel. If in doubt. Aim high eh ;)
<5> WTF can you hang that many plates? Shelving?
<5> wlfshmn: heheh Yup :) You'll never have real problems for saluting or coming to At Ease when you didn't have to, bt you will if you don't when you do need to :)
<2> Falchion: did you guys have warrant officer ranks as well?
<5> wlfshmn: Yep. I almost went Green to Gold myself actually. *shudder*
<1> Falchion, each one has a hanger on it
<1> Falchion, put a bunch of nails in the wall in some sort of pleasing geometric pattern
<2> Falchion: Well, nothing wrong with stripes you have -earned- ;)
<7> Falchion: concerning the text.. if you put it to the right.. you need to resize it as well.. since it will not fit
<5> Liandrin: hmmm
<5> wlfshmn: heh I left as an E4. I wasn't allowed to go in front of the board to gain rank, since I was broken.
<1> Falchion, in my last place I had them as a border around the top of the living room, on two sides
<2> Falchion: I noticed that even the Cpt friend of my brothers disliked 2nd Lt's straight out of school actually having the right to tell others what to do ;)
<8> hrm
<5> Liandrin: Hmm. i cna see that, if you ave enough. My mom used to have a 3 shelf rack thing over our kitchen table with plates.
<1> Falchion, in sort of a zigzag, rather than a straight line, to add visual interest
<1> Falchion, my great-grandmother literally had a *wall* covered with them
<1> Falchion, 80-some years' worth
<2> Falchion: that makes you what, Corporal or specialist?
<1> Falchion, well, there are fifteen plates on that page, and there are probably another ten that aren't there
<2> Falchion: works diffrently here. heck my brother left as Sgt if you translate to nato rank
<5> wlfshmn: Yup. A 1st Lt (O2) with 2 years in makes more than a Staff Sgt (E6) with 20 (at least they did).
<1> Falchion, and I'll be getting at least another two this Christmas
<2> Falchion: And that is from 10 months conscription term ;)
<1> Falchion, my mother is an eBay fiend, she gets fantastic deals on these plates
<1> Falchion, gets me this year's plate and at least one other each Christmas, for the last five running ;)
<1> Falchion, one year I got *ten*
<5> wlfshmn: specialist. We didn't have corporal's in our platoon really (infantry). Same rank though, same pay, etc, so it's allthe same to me. I had points for E6 but culdn't go before the board :/
<1> Falchion, and three from my father, who got them from the duplicates from my great-grandmother's collection from my grandfather
<5> Liandrin: How much do they cost?
<1> Falchion, depends on which year and where you buy it
<2> Falchion: thsi Cpt entered as 2nd Lt fresh from paid-for-school like so many, spent some time stateside trainig ofcourse and some time on base in Alaska IIRC, then deployed to the sand and has been there no for some 35-40 months I guess in to turns, only comming home for ranger school
<1> Falchion, the 2006 plate seems to list for USD62-90
<5> Yay, finance offer just handed me $40 cash. One day he goes "How can we get you guys to help find bugs in the new system?" "Pay us $20 for each bug as a bounty". So today I found two amusing but nasty bugs and tada! Dinner!
<2> Falchion: apparently he finds himself sitting on a rather good sized stack of coins
<5> Liandrin: Hmm
<1> Falchion, the 1908 plate has a value of over $5000
<2> Falchion: not enough tinhgs to spend it on once deployed
<7> Falchion: http://optex.yoznet.at/falchion.gif
<5> wlfshmn: hell yeah. Dude, when I was int he army, I was deployed to a jungle wherew I couldnt' spend money. I made bonus for being airborne. Bonus for hazadous duty. And when I was at my normal unit, we were in th emiddle o fnoplace. tlak about money.. oy..
<5> Liandrin: geezus dudette. $5k??
<7> Falchion: here as you can see.. the text got much smaller.
<1> Falchion, only a couple thousand were produced, nearly 100 years ago
<2> Falchion: he is starting to consider making a career out of it ;)
<1> Falchion, the WWII plates tend to go for USD400-900, also because of scarcity
<2> Falchion: reshape the orb in the shape of an advil ;)
<5> yoz: Hmm. yeah. But I could edit the template to make the dimensions bigger
<5> wlfshmn: hehe
<5> Liandrin: Geezus. For a plate. Oy!
<8> WWII plates?
<8> like in American Beauty
<7> Falchion: well yeah.. lemme create on more which is probably larger.. then edit the template.
<5> hehe
<9> serano eshti
<5> yoz: You don't have to trouble yourself if you don't want to :) I appreciate the logo mano
<5> wlfshmn: How about instead of the orb we make it a bottle of chloroform? :)
<1> Falchion, the plates listed on that page are worth USD624, according to one set of valuations
<7> Falchion: nah.. that's done in a second ;)
<1> Falchion, and the ones not listed there are older
<2> bwahaha
<1> Falchion, I can't figure out which 191x plate I have from the pictures, but it's worth somewhere from USD105 to USD250
<2> *NSFW* http://www.bestofblocket.se/bilder/blocket_33.jpg *NSFW*
<5> Liandrin: But you don't plan on selling them so I guess cost doesnt' matter much, huh? :)
<2> that probably is the most tasteless piece of furniture I've ever laid eyes on
<5> wlfshmn: heh
<10> wlfshmn: where in the hell did you find that?
<1> Falchion, valuation for insurance, at the very least
<1> Falchion, and they'll only appreciate in value
<5> Liandrin: Well yeah, I guess. Point taken :)
<2> schitzo: blocket is a cl***ifieds site in .se, and that is a collection of humerous items that have appeared ;)
<4> wow.
