J'accuse you IB with 5! Cleome isn't the next worse killer.

Will Ibby evade the LW authorities? Will he prove that it was all a stitch up by accuser JPops? No for it is true. Ibby is Threadkiller! Coming soon to LWTV!

I was talking about the deadly sins. Nice segue, though, guys. Bringing up my wrongdoings to hide yours...

Ah, so you admit to wrongdoings. We have a confession!

Well, it is well-documented that I have killed many threads...

That is not a crime.

i'm safe!

That's a call for the umpire to make.

I call for delicious breakfast pastries, fresh coffee, and maybe a string quartet to play some Haydn.

Cleome is hosting a brunch so we will be distracted and he can score another thread kill.

[studies watch]

Quartet must be stuck in traffic. Time to call for backup.

I did not know that cleome had the operation. I assume Mr. cleome was OK with it

mr_cleome's at the office so much these days, he hasn't even noticed.

As long as you are happy...

Happiness better then ignorance since I assumed a gender. Apologies.

No worries, J. These things happen.

When I worked as a teller, if a guy came in with a check made out to Mary, we knew to ask him to endorse the check also. (ditto for a woman presenting a check made out to John) But then we would get checks made out to someone with a foreign name and we couldn't tell the gender of the person based on the name. So, we would have to ask "Is this you?"

This reminds me of the episode of MASH when several locals came into the MASH clinic and claimed to be Kim Luk. Hawkeye asked one, "Do you have any verification?" The man pointed to his chest and said, "This is me." Hawkeye, with characteristic disbelief: "I suppose you wouldn't lie to me about a thing like that."

M*A*S*H the TV series lasted longer than the actual Korean War.

As I recall, they had four Christmas episodes. The actual Korean War spanned only three Christmases: 1950, '51, and '52.

I have a classmate from South Korea. She misses spicy food.

BTW, a pal on another board recommended The Mission Chinese Cookbook to me, because I grumbled about how many Chinese food recipes I find online are underwhelming. (Never enough seasoning, and always so much damn cornstarch you could make paper mache' from them, I swear.) Alas, most of these recipes aren't practical to make in the average kitchen. You need way more space, stamina, and gear then I'm likely to ever possess. However, Danny Bowien's memoirs about growing up as about the only Korean dude in small-town Oklahoma, then his misadventures as a stoner, culinary school dropout, and whipping boy for egotistical chefs in fancy restaurants on the coasts is a fascinating read. Nice graphics, too. His restaurants specialize in modernized Chinese cooking with many flourishes from elsewhere in the world.

More about the book here: https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062243416/the-mission-chinese-food-cookbook (I got my copy from the library, but it'd be nice to own one day.)

I could probably handle making a few of the sides and condiments... maybe.

Thanks, cleome! When I visited China (Beijing, Xian, Guilin...) I noticed the same thing, found the food too bland. The Chinese-style food in the Philippines (brought by Chinese immigrants) tastes a lot better than much of the food in mainland China, IMO.

I believe IB has committed another kill.

Darn. Now I'll never learn more about Philippine cuisine.
