and congrats gabe.. I thought it was ballin that I just got approved for a 6k credit limit, but this certainly puts things into perspective :)
Whats the company all about? Something to do with the market?
hai guys
So I just got done rolling through t-bell after pokerz at a buddies house, and Mcdonalds is right next door. Its about midnight 30 here at the time. Anyways sitting at the window waiting for my food, and some dude goes blowing through the mcdonalds like front yard display stuff and smashes into a parked car and flips over it. He was probly going 40+ mph so he def smoked the fuck out of it. No one was in the parked car, but I'm pretty sure the dude that was driving got messed up in the wreck. Medics and cops were swarming in like 2 minutes (surprise surprise), but it was BY FAR the craziest shit I've ever seen in my life. I would have laughed if I knew the guy wasn't hurt.
so is he 11? ZING!!Quote:

3) Your mom is white though. A nice little white lady.
4) You have a ghetto brother or two, you live with them or used to.
5) You used to valet cars as a cover for something more sinister.
6) You apperantly don't like when people make incest jokes about you and your sister.
7) You once had an idea of starting a fast food restaurant near college, open late hours serving greasy food to potheads
8) You had a longtime gf named Emma
9) You fuck gingers, at least one but I fear there's more
10) You may suck my especially small penis
search is working
yah, ake would put in a little effort to prove it was ake, not this 10 random easily searched facts known by 98% of FTR. Everyone knows boosts name is JaBlack Guy.
also, he's loooong dead from aids. I was present at the autopsy.
you are correct, he is still dead :( it was a sad day, especially for JaBlack Guy since ake was his mentor when it came to shaving pubes
Just found out that the dude in the wreck last night died. Totally not 11
uh... wow.. Im pretty sure this is ake..
edit: I know most of that stuff is easily searchable, however there are a few things on the list that Im pretty sure were not publicly posted, and on top of that I remember speaking with ake about..
I have three questions though:
1) what do you think about your countries socialist ways? What effect have they had on you?
2) what country do you travel to by boat to get cheap booze?
3) last I talked to you, you had gotten your own small apartment. You were waiting (a long time) to get internet though. Where would you go to use the intertubes, and who lived there?
stop taking the fun out of it
i believe in Fake_Ake
I was not here when ake was but something tells me his return is epic
1) pretty sure I thought they sucked back then, and that they made people incl me lazy
2) germany
3) momz

and i just got out of jail i dont need this shit you know who I am so lets skip the shit rite?
totally livin
you'd be suprised what we don't know, ake!
is this ake guy still a ginger?
hmm I was thinking poland... you know.. europes mexico..
p.s. its ok though, I still believe. But lets get down to business, you know after all my clock is ticking, and Ive waited long enough for your return. Lets pop some love children out while my eggs are still fertile!
no real story behind it, just my biz partner/roommate and i have talked alot about making $ outside of poker and after some research we think the real estate thing is a great way to do it. plan is to buy a few single family homes at first, then keep trading them up until we own lots of big apartment complexes.Quote:

the other half of the dinner will be posted later
wow that looks amazing
light, heavy, heavy, heavy, light.
fish, fish, other, fish, chicken, other, fish.
I dont really get the progression of this tasting at all. And some of the dishes are just downright awkward. Like, what lace does angel food cake have on that plate? And whats up with the plating? The scrambled egg dish has all the main components on the rim of the plate which is especially bad on this plate since if you press down with your knife the thing seems likely to tilt.
Some cool techniques going on, but beyond that...
oh and epic bump.

then Miri (malaysia, on borneo) for a few weeks as a base for dive trips and maybe a mountain. Plus cheap street vendor feasting. Legality of poker there? then NZ and summer and climbing and surfing and outdoor festivals. Maybe a few weeks in oz thrown in.
Then...... hopefully vegas july 2010
but what did you think of the taste and texture, and the service?Quote:

I'd say dessert plate sized but dessert is never served on small plates anymore.
So you just whipped it out in front of everyone and started measuring?Quote:

how in the hell is this thread 4 spades
I just cummed a little in my mouth.
flomo, obv I cant comment on service but from what I can see the texture and flavor combos look a bit strange. But having not experienced them they could be damned good. Also I thought the first post was the entire meal. Still there seems to be no sense of progression much less any respect paid to classical progression. Also Im gonna come out and say it... the plating just straight up sucks.
aim better next time...Quote:

dude, Id so be down to try it.. Its just that Ive seen other molecular gastronomy stuff that was "out there" but also seemed to make sense. This just seems out there. But like I said Id def want to try it, after all theres no way I could possibly give a real critique based on pictures.
