IPA back to India

Time to visit there, and taste the brews.

I hate it when this happens

Kayla or anti-Kayla?

Orthodoxia Obamaklensis

[Fixed AA's oversized illus. for the Prof of Aesthetics, Tecs. -- roT]

Fixed? Like Obamakles fixes a Free Republic maybe.

[No one likes my jokes. I replace the image that AA put up with something truly inspiring. I couldn't find the original.-- rot]

Buy!

Something is Rotten in this story.

For once, superior firepower works

Seethe, Pepe, seethe.

Goreball warming takes a hit

Somehow, when Pepe's boyz strike, the Lysenkoist pinko goreballs seem to take less urgency. Funny how AK47s tend to concentrate the mind, at least in the short run...

From Planet Pepe, with love

Tikka masala, anyone?

Hindi has spiced the language with a masala of words long-since codified in its dictionaries: chit, guru, jungle, pajamas, pundit, sentry, shampoo, and thug.

Wait, wait, wait. How about barbeque? That's not Hindi. And, of course, tzuica. I had the apricot variety last evening (drank from a 1-liter plastic bottle), but still haven't fired up the Coanda BBQ this year. Time to start yet on the roast mutton?

An open-air cooking apparatus, usually charcoal burning, for grilling or spit-roasting meat or fish. The Barbeque method is of American origin, being associated with the legendary conquest of the West. It was subsequently adopted in Europe. The word probably comes form the Haitian "barbacoa," meaning grills, but some attribute its origin to the French "de la barbe a la queue" (from the beard to the tail), referring to the method of impaling the animal on the roasting spit. There may even be a connection with the French "barbaque" which comes from the Romanian "berbec" meaning roast mutton."

Forget Stone IPA, JJ, here is the real McCoy

Kama Bruni

Do they know about the Kama Sutra in India?

Buy, JJ, buy!

No radio, no power steering, no power windows, no air-conditioning and one windshield wiper instead of two, no tachometer. To save $10, Tata engineers redesigned the suspension to eliminate actuators in the headlights, the levelers that adjust the angle of the beam depending on how the car is loaded. In lieu of the solid steel beam that typically connects steering wheels to axles, they used a hollow tube. The car runs on a continuous variable transmission, a lighter alternative to manual or automatic transmissions. Tata chose wheel bearings that are strong enough to drive the car up to 45 miles an hour, but they will wear quickly above that speed, reducing the car’s life span. The car’s top speed is 75 miles an hour. It has a $700 rear-mounted engine built by the German company Bosch, measuring 600 to 660 cubic centimeters, with a horsepower in the range of 30 to 35.

I also have a Bosch, but I use it to vacuum the house.

Kinda proved Papa's Point about the RoPer

what a waste

Offending Local Sensibilities, Part II

First Sean Hannity goes after Alec Baldwin for threatening his 12-year-old pig daughter (since this, my father's new one-liner around the house is, "Don't make me go Alec Baldwin on you!"), and now Dinesh Gupta calls for the arrest of Richard Gere and Shilpa Shetty for their kissing orgy in India.

Such immorality!

Even more disturbing is the idea that 12-year-olds are All Things Innocent. I know how I acted at 12, and I didn't even have access to the entitlements of being a pig Hollywood brat.
