Oh yeah, he had a fight in town a few weeks ago.  My boss went and had him sign the Dragon Flute.

Me: "Hey Starr, check this out. The kid who used to play the Green Power Ranger is now a UFC fighter."
Starr: "I thought he was arrested for murder?"

:lol:

Also: A couple of my ex-coworkers at Virgin used to call me the Green Power Ranger because my motorbike is kinda green-ish.

Is that even his baby?  I think it's the Gerber baby.  But holy shit, I have to send this to all the women I know.

Integrity No2: ... i would be fucked by him.

a bee says: LA LA LA LA LA LA LAAA LA
The Monster King of Monster City says: What's all this?
a bee says: you're not going to make me want to fuck the green power ranger, you... cunt!
a bee says: that makes me mad!

Separate conversations happening simultaneously.  What screws with a person's head more than knowing they want to do it with a power ranger?

Seriously, this shit might just be gold.

I'm right now using "Earth Revealed" for basic geomorphology.  The terms match.

An emulsion is a suspension of two things that normally separate.
Mayonnaise and Hollandaise are examples, they're vegetable oil
suspended in water, and oil and water are famous for not getting
along. Vinegar and oil dressing is another example.

To keep them from separating, you stabilize them with an emulsifier.
An emulsifier has hydroscopic and liposcopic properties, so it absorbs
both water and fat and keeps them stuck together. The most common is
lecithin, found in egg yolks and mustard seed. Mayonnaise and
Hollandaise are both made with egg yolk, mayonnaise generally also has
ground mustard seed.

Most sauces using these also involve acid in the form of vinegar or
lemon juice. The acid helps to denature the proteins and stretch them
out, allowing their hydro/liposcoping surfaces to come in contact with
more of the water and fat in question, thus helping to stabilize the
sauce.

I looked around the classroom in the middle of lecture and oh god, the
glazed-over eyes. To me it's just delicious science.

ON THAT TOPIC

Butter is an emulsion.  When you heat it, it splits.  You can prevent that from happening with the simplest emulsified "sauce" in the playbook, beurre monte.  Three tablespoons of water in a pan, heat, start whisking cold butter in a little chunk at a time.  Don't overheat it, it's like a beurre blanc, just enough heat to melt the butter.  You can do as much butter as you want with just a tiny bit of water.  And the shit is seriously useful.  Brush it on slices of steak, baste or rest meat in it, poach fish and shellfish in it, top popcorn with it.

Isn't that how you make clarified butter?

They're opposites.  In clarified butter, the water is cooked out and the milk solids are separated from the fat.  In beurre monte, the ratio and distribution of all three are maintained.

Clarified butter IS best if you're going to be simmering stuff in it for a while, as butter tends to scorch.

I think today's lab was the first time we've used non-clarified butter in anything. We haven't used any oil so far, just clarified butter, today's whole butter for some nasty potato recipe, or schmaltz.

A third theatrical film in the Bill and Ted franchise was planned, and a screenplay was written. Although it never got past the pre-production phase, a large portion of the script, and overall concept, was adapted into the 1996 film Bio-Dome.
