... an archive of pictures of people proving theorems in sarongs. No, really.


ETA: French-fry encrusted corndogs, sold as street food in Seoul. My arteries are exploding just from the picture, but it looks just. so. good. (I'm hungry! Waaaaaaaaah!)

Oh, and Fluffy Mackerel Pudding, three words which under no circumstances should ever occupy the same sentence. (I'm still hungry, but not for Fluffy Mackerel Pudding.)






I don't know what my boss was typing in his cube a moment ago, but it had a really good beat:

tak-TAK clickaclickaclickaclickaclickaclicka

tak-TAK clickaclickaclickaclickaclickaclicka

ODD.......

The guy who runs the archive is also the first person to have proved the Artin-Wedderburn Theorem while wearing a tutu (http://math.berkeley.edu/~ari/artintutu.jpg).

[rachel-renee.livejournal.com]

somehow I have NO trouble believing that....

[the-z.livejournal.com]

HAWT!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Check the food links I just added to the post. XD

So, apparently, the old trick behind Weight Watchers was 'you'd never dare eat their recipes anyway'?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I think so. Although the 70s were a scary, scary time for food.

Especially since it was only just coming to light that deep fat fried lard with a grease sauce might not be the healthiest option for you.

where DO you find this stuff?

Answering student and faculty reference questions??

Re: where DO you find this stuff?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Nah. A lot of them, and all of today's, I find through growabrain (http://growabrain.typepad.com/growabrain/), which does nothing but post links. :D

That frydog thing looks horrible. There is no way I would touch one, let alone put it in my mouth. The pudding might not be so bad but I don't know because the link isn't working for me =/

[telophase.livejournal.com]

It's a corn dog. With french fries. Something you'd probably eat in one meal, only it's all on the same stick.

Can't say anything about the Fluffy Mackerel Pudding, because the link works for me. :) And it's much worse, because: Fluffy. Mackerel. Pudding.

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

Nope. I would never eat that in a million years. Even if it wasn't slathered in condiments that I am afraid of.
OT- I did buy Saiyuki 1-2. I just haven't read them yet.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I'd eat it. And feel like a greasy fat slug with heart disease afterwards, but the part of me that grew up on deep-fried processed meat food products is in luuuuuuurve.

READ THEM! NOW!! DON'T WAIT!!! (mostly because the story really doesn't hit its stride until books 4 and 5... ;)

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

I had to wait. I had to go to work where I am not lucky enough to have a nice job where I can read.

*Barf*

You are totally slandering the Fluffy Mackerel Pudding. And I know whereof I speak, because I had some at my wife's aunt's house. She doesn't make it using the Weight Watchers recipe, and she doesn't serve it in little souffle cups-- it's kind of a loaf of pudding-- but it's really, really good. And believe me, I was skeptical, but, well, it's a substance about the consistency of scrambled eggs which tastes pleasantly of really good fish and herbs. It doesn't eat your head or anything.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

But ... but ... but... Fluffy.    Mackerel.    Pudding.

No matter what the taste is, those three words just do not belong together. And I know whereof I speak: my mom has a family recipe that's actually pretty good called Pork Loaf. (It's basically a high-class Spam, I think, a meatloaf made with pork and whatever other stuff is in it. Tastes good, but you'd totally never get it from the name.)

Did you go trhough teh rest of the recipe cards? What about Marcy's "Enchiladas". That frightens me.

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

Re Marcy's "Enchiladas"-- it's the quotation marks. Those are a serious problem.

Uh... how would you feel without the 'Fluffy'? My wife's aunt does not call it fluffy, although it *is*, but she says she'd feel pretentious calling it 'mackerel gelee'.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

It would require the absence of both the 'Fluffy' and the 'Pudding.' A pudding is either a soft, creamy, sweet dessert, or a popover-type thing as in Yorkshire pudding. Fish pudding is just ... *shudder*.

I would allow 'paté' even though that tends to assume you'll spread it on crackers.

I would ask why, but there are some things I am happy to know simply exist in the world. That is one of them.
