 You can always pick up a new (used) coffee maker at a thrift store. I use it besides for coffee, hot water for tea.


Something I make off and on (several times a month), the classic (!) egg sandwich takes around five minutes to make.

Chik Fil-A

Chic Fil A serves mediocre food, but fast and friendly service.

It makes me laugh that PC morons want to boycott this place and force them out of business (?).

Why because their CEO board donated to a non-profit whom are against gay marriage.

Ha ha and guess what their stock prices have gone through the roof and they now are spread out with franchises to areas such as the rural uppermidwest U.S.

Also recently some nasty chick was trying to breast feed at this "soft opening" for a location. In my opinion seeing any female breastfeed in public would be uncomfortable but tolerated. However looking at this chick she was gross looking and dressed like the typical johnny come lately social justice warrior type. A big gross joke! 

I got their chicken deluxe sandwich with waffle fries. Not bad, but next time I am skipping the bun and going for chicken strips.

Muslimgauze Download Links Still Working

This one man group passed away in 1999, leaving behind a mass catalog of music combining minimal electronics and Middle Eastern music.

Time to come out of the old dusty box for an album by Muslimgauze
named 'Wish of the Flayed' that has for a long time remained under wraps.
Bryn Jones himself gave this album on cassette tape to Steven Wilson (Bass Communion)
during their first meeting on the 3rd of june 1996; the album having been recorded
the day before. (One day for making a whole album is not so surprising for Muslimgauze..).
The master DAT had, seemingly, not been sent to any label, so this recording is the only
proof of the existence of the album. The sound quality not being of the usual standard for
a CD release, Steven and I, with the agreement of the Soleilmoon label, have decided to make this tape available in mp3, free to download for everyone.
I hope many people will enjoy this initiative, the aim of which is only to show, once again,
the genius of Muslimgauze's music.

Is Shakespeare Dead?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is_Shakespeare_Dead%3F



Is Shakespeare Dead?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is Shakespeare Dead? is a short, semi-autobiographical work by American humorist Mark Twain. It explores the controversy over the authorship of the Shakespearean literary canon via satire, anecdote, and extensive quotation of contemporary authors on the subject.

Summary

In the book, Twain expounds the view that Shakespeare of Stratford was not the author of the canon, and lends tentative support to the Baconian theory. The book opens with a scene from his early adulthood, where he was trained to be a steamboat pilot by an elder who often argued with him over the controversy.
Twain's arguments include the following points:
  • That little was known about Shakespeare's life, and the bulk of his biographies were based on conjecture.
  • That a number of eminent British barristers and judges found Shakespeare's plays permeated with precise legal thought, and that the author could only have been a veteran legal professional.
  • That in contrast, Shakespeare of Stratford had never held a legal position or office, and had only been in court over petty lawsuits late in life.
  • That small towns lionize and celebrate their famous authors for generations, but this had not happened in Shakespeare's case. He described his own fame in Hannibal as a case in point.
Twain draws parallels and analogies from the pretensions of modern religious figures and commentators on the nature of Satan. He compares the believers in Shakespeare to adherents of Arthur Orton and Mary Baker Eddy.

Reputation

The book has been described as "one of his least well received and most misunderstood works".[2] Karen Lystra argues that the essay reveals satirical intentions that went beyond the Shakespeare—Bacon controversy of the time, although she admits that Twain appears to have been sincere in his beliefs concerning Shakespeare.[3]
Though it is commonly assumed to be nothing more than a stale and embarrassing rehash of the Shakespeare-Bacon controversy, Twain was up to something more than flimsy literary criticism. He was using the debate over Shakespeare's real identity to satirize prejudice, intolerance, and self-importance—in himself as well as others.... But after his passionate diatribe against the "Stratfordolators" and his vigorous support of the Baconians, he cheerfully admits that both sides are built on inference. Leaving no doubt about his satirical intent, Twain then gleefully subverts his entire argument. After seeming to be a serious, even angry, combatant, he denies that he intended to convince anyone that Shakespeare was not the real author of his works. "It would grieve me to know that any one could think so injuriously of me, so uncomplimentarily, so unadmiringly of me," he writes mockingly. "Would I be so soft as that, after having known the human race familiarly for nearly seventy-four years?" We get our beliefs at second hand, he explains, "we reason none of them out for ourselves. It is the way we are made." Twain has set a trap—an elaborate joke at the expense of what he scornfully refers to as the "Reasoning Race." He is satirizing the need to win an argument when it is virtually impossible to convince anyone to change sides in almost any debate. His excessive rhetoric of attack is obviously absurd—calling the other side "thugs," for example—yet it has been taken at face value.[4]
