@AttaackWaaaaaaatch!!!
And that, too.
I’m interested to see how you condense a cogent defense of intentionalism into 140 characters.
Well, that and the pith.
OK, I need advice.
How do I stop following the really nice lady who posts eight million times a day about her “luvvy” hubby and “brilliant” tweeps who re-tweet her re-typed cat calendar daily affirmation bullshit and SEO crap? Without pissing her off?
I don’t even go into Twitter anymore because of it. “@censored Rainbows! Lemonade! God! My wonderfrl Hubby! Follow Friday!” Christ, I want to track her down and leave a dead puppy on her doorstep just for a change of pace.
can you tweet this twit ?

I’m a follower.
Like your choice of RTs, btw. They’re all informative and shit.
“You want people who don’t worry about the next election.”
Like…. oh I don’t know…. PUTIN?!!
Sign up for a new account and don’t follow her on the new one?
I’m about to unfollow the Packers because they tweet almost every play during the game. I’m recording the game to skip the commercials, Packers’ twitter person. Learning the second quarter score before you start watching kinda sucks. It’s a great way to hear about injuries and stuff like that during the week though.
There must be some weird lefty talking points going out today. I had a VERY lefty friend on FB suggest that presidential elections should be every 8 years so presidents don’t have to campaign for re-election.
Think we should take that as a good sign.
Elections have them worried? Awesome.
cock slap = 8 characters (not counting the space).
I was already following you. I can unfollow and re-follow if you like.
If Obama didn’t have to campaign, he wouldn’t have anything to do at all. That’s all he knows, besides commanding others to do his bidding, and that hasn’t been working very well for him lately.

Twitter counts the space, and it’s one word.
Then its eight characters? 132 characters remaining for Jeff.

I will follow you next time i log into that twitter thing
INLAW !!!
No, Luddite.
No, wait…

Mr. sdferr hi how are you remember when we were talking about how to peel garlic? Here this is awesome I’m a go home and try it!
Is that exciting or what?
Ha! That is a good one, never seen it before.
Hmmmm….. A cocktail shaker should work for that as well.

Yep, I was just working on the question of alternatives since I ain’t got big-assed flange-rimmed bowls like that. Could be the internal space is critical for developing sufficient moment to smash the cloves into the sides though.
Empty drywall bucket with lid should work. Heck, maybe even a paint can.
I figure you could get better range and velocity one handed. It doesn’t seem like distance traveled would be as significant as the force of impact.
Now I’m wishing I hadn’t used both heads of garlic today, ’cause I wanna try it.
I do have a pair of bowls just like that and it worked great. Thank you ‘feets.
Now what can I make with the garlic?
Pasta Puttanesca is a tasty dish.
Maybe a big stockpot would work too.
LostMyCookies –
I just abandoned facebook because I can’t stand it anymore, so I can’t even go near twitter. It was better when I only saw my friends… when I saw them.
hah that’s so cool I’m gonna have to experiment cause of my cookwares are a haphazard lot
Yeah, now I’m also wondering what dish could use that much garlic.
Two heads isn’t all that much to me. I use near a full head in one pot of black beans, and easily a full head in basic tomato sauce (both of which I make in moderate quantities, freezing portions if necessary).
Either you cook in much larger quantities than I do or you like garlic a good bit more.
I’ll throw in maybe three cloves tops for a tomato sauce.
i imagine you can store the cloves in a thingy til you need them that’s what I’ll do cause of the tediousness of garlic peeling has thwarted many a culinary effort in cocina happyfeet
life is too short
40 clove chicken for one.
I’m using two 28oz cans of Romas per head of garlic, for quantitative reference. But that is tomatoes per garlic, if you see where I’m going.
If you use a heap of garlic, it probably would be ok to whiz it up in the whizzermachinen and pack it in oliveoil in the fridge hf. But I wouldn’t wanna keep it there too long, like outside a week or two, since it’s just as easy to chop it up fresh when needed.
Garlic butter for me.
Long overdue.
that’s smart
Are you gonna follow back this time? Because I have this one rule, you see.
1) Follow someone for a time, long enough to see if they have any intention to follow me back. If not, unfollow.*
The only exception to this rule (well, 8 exceptions) are the Pope, IAM_SHAKESPERE, and some gunny sites.
*If they don’t follow me back, and I still want to occasionally ‘read’ them, and they are Right-Conservative, I put ’em in the ‘Elitists who don’t follow back’ list. There’s some names you’ll recognize on that list.
The secret to managing Twitter is learning the proper use of lists. If you have lots of followers and are following many people back, as you should, your ‘timeline’ gets pretty crowded. Some people tweet too damned much. The secret is to devise lists, populate the list with people you really want to read, and read from that list. That way you’re not obliged to read tweets from people you follow back; you’re not swamped by a crowded timeline. Your list can be comprised of anyone, including people you’re not following.
That said, it’s always good manners to check in your timeline on occasion, and try to interact with your followers (especially those who RT one of your tweets, or reply to one of your tweets). Otherwise you might be seen as aloof. Always try to ‘answer’ a tweet sent in your direction, or acknowledge a RT given to one of your tweets; that’s just good manners and is proper Twitter etiquette.
I have the most fun on Twitter in the #hashtags. YMMV.
OH! If some LeftLibProgg twerp blocks you, and you want to keep track of his going-ons (CJ for instance), or if someone is *so important* that you want to read all his tweets in your RSS reader so’s not to miss any, well, here’s the secret. Twitter took all the RSS feed click-to-read dealios off of the tweet pages, because they want to keep you in their sandbox. Use this to discover the RSS feed:
http://search.twitter.com/search.rss?q=from:twitter-username
…where “twitter-username’ is the character’s name sans @; for example:
http://search.twitter.com/search.rss?q=from:vermontaigne
will give you the feed for Dan Collins (who has a decent tweet presence).
Oh, and you’ll want to know who ‘unfollowed’ you, so you can ‘unfollow’ them back. http://who.unfollowed.me/
Also there you can find out who’s not following you back, and give ’em the boot.
Cheers!
that’s gaylic

What’s wrong with just snapping the cloves off and giving them a good whack with the flat of a chef’s knife.
Had a nice exchange with Keith Olbermann on Twitter after he named Cal Student GOP “Worst Person.” Asked him about the Student Senate who banned satire. “Do we pin a medal on them?”
His reply: “do you see me pinning a medal on anybody?”
Me: “Actually, I don’t see you at all. Do you still have a show?”
I suspect a “blocked” is forthcoming.
“Me: “Actually, I don’t see you at all. Do you still have a show?””
please respect the metrosexuals Sir
i never did twitter because hughhewitt was big on it and dough nuts.
oh noes i broke pw sorry
Roasted ’em and they went into wasabi mashed potatoes. Delish.
steak smothered with garlic, ‘shrooms and onions, a side of garlic fries and garlic ice cream for desert. Gilroy in July!
Wasabi mashed potatoes with lots of garlic? That sounds like the most exciting version of mashed potatoes possible.
Heh, funny thread. We have a quality Olby smack down and Zbyn?k Michálek… #4 for the Penguins. (Yes, I had to google that.)
Good times.
Speaking of Olbermann, I’m reading that new history of ESPN book right now and they’re all talking about how he was a giant asshole.
@ Lost My Cookies: I believe that if you use tweetdeck to access twitter you can ‘mute’ people you follow, i.e., you still follow them (not hurting their feelings by unfollowing), but their tweets won’t show up in your timeline.
*If they don’t follow me back, and I still want to occasionally ‘read’ them, and they are Right-Conservative, I put ‘em in the ‘Elitists who don’t follow back’ list. There’s some names you’ll recognize on that list.
I try to follow whoever follows me, but I suck at twitter. I usually just go there when I’m really bored. I really shouldn’t bother.
“r. sdferr hi how are you remember when we were talking about how to peel garlic? Here this is awesome I’m a go home and try it!”
That does look promising. Smashing it with the side of my heavy knife works, but it’s messy.
Of course, this way does involve getting two bowls dirty.
There’s always a downside.
Begone italic begone.
Problem is right after the word “Sir” in # 50.
WordPress needs a more reliable close_all_tags_at_end_of_comment feature.
That’s fine if you’re chopping, but sometimes you want to keep the cloves whole.
I ♥ Gilroy. Just driving around with the windows down is sublime.
bh, Wasabi and Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
They’re incredible, though I bump up both the wasabi and the garlic. I was going to pair them with smoked chicken, but no sooner did I light the charcoal then they came and ripped my condemned deck down. Life is weird.

Thanks, Pablo. I’m gonna try those soon.
