Why do we fall back to earth? Because our weight pushes us down, no laws, no gravity pulling us. It is the law of intelligence.
Also, it seems the Hobbit is now a trilogy.
Ian McKellen looks way too fucking old.
How is a splash hard to understand? You lilt the container until you hear a splash in the other container. Then stop tilting it and return it to its upright position. Let me know if you need me to explain what a pinch is.
Stop this tomfoolery and start talking about the movie.

If you need to exactly measure everything and can't deal with common terms like "splash", then you aren't a very good cook.

Vongeo is a wanker, he wears a wanker hat; he always smells like urine and he thinks the Earth is flat.

However, this is not the food network, this is a recipe on a web site. It should have exact specifications and instructions. Recipes don't need these ridiculous variable input scenarios. If I wanted to tamper with the recipe I would do it how I want and with whatever ingredients I want to. I don't need the recipe putting vague terms in place of measurements to let me know I can vary the amount. Cooking is both a science and an art. I couldn't give less of a shit about the art part.
Nomad is a superhero.
I saw a slight haze in the hotel bathroom this morning after I took a shower, have I discovered a new planet?
The only reason I continue to live is so I can eventually watch the Hobbit movies
Besides, perhaps FET is a conspiracy too.
It is just the way it is, you understanding it doesn't concern me.
You'll find most traditional recipes have the same sort of instructions. Quit being a baby and learn how to cook.
To cook I am going to have to learn how to cook. What bullshit!
Wait till he figures out that cook times are relative to atmospheric pressure, so any recipe with a specific cook times will be inaccurate at other elevations than the one it was written for.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

It's when you get into baking or making certain sauces that specific ratios of ingredients or techniques become important.Baking is an art also. I know a guy who worked at Tastycake, baking cup cakes and stuff. He said the amount of liquid required is variable. Depending on humidity and other factors.
A "splash" however, does not exist as a measurement.

I bet Irush measures carefully how much salt he puts on his chips. Tell me, is it a 1/4 teaspoon? Also, do you weight the chips first to make sure you know you are getting the proportions right? Or do you just go by instinct?
