Ditch Fahrenheit's Journal 7 7

[jsilverjanet]

But this placeThread is, hands-down, the number one comic book forumJournal in the world. I'm a member of a bunch of other comic forumsSalsa making, pancake baking, time wasting groups, but I rarely read or post anywhere else now.

[Ditch Fahrenheit]

It is pretty random. Can't say I've read it.

 

How did you hear about the CGC forum?

 

I'm always curious.

 

Careful Ditch he maybe fishing to sell his collection

PS - I made spicy black bean dip the other day for the first time. The lime and white wine vinegar really made it.

 

...you put the lime in the vinegar and shake 'em all up...

We put cheese on our black beans. The cheese is called Cotija

 

It's a Mexican cheese that is used on corn cups by street vendors (not sure if you've seen those). The cheese is a little salty so it mixes well with the black bean flavor. You should check it out.

If you haven't read Nexus I'd recommend you give it a try. One of my favourite 80s titles; well-written and superb Steve Rude artwork.

[Jeffro.]

When's the next music game so I can embarrass myself again?

 

I don't currently have any planned.

 

But it you want to make one, I'll give you 10% of the awarded points.

 

I could also do all the plumbing in my house but I don't see any pigs flying.

 

On a better note though, last night I listened to Animals by Pink Floyd. Great album. I've never been much of a Floyd fan. This one was really good.

That sounds good. I'm familiar with both. We have tons of Mexican grocery and produce stores around here.

 

My goal was to replicate Trader Joe's black bean dip. Mine came out less thick because I used a blender instead of a food processor, but it was a lot better. I could have put it in a sauce pan and gotten the consistency, but I actually liked the way it coated the chips.

I might actually do that. I've been looking for something new to read.

One possible tweak...

 

Use the same scoring system for both the music and comicbook games?

I'm a huge Floyd fan. Animals is awesome and much underrated. Fantastic lyrics too. Very political album - you have to familiarize yourself with what was going on in England at the time to understand much of it.

 

My favorite PF song...which led to everything else they did:

 

Few groups ever achieve this type of cohesion and tightness.

Noted. Although, I doubt I'll do more music games unless I make them non-visual - too much work.

Make a horror version for Halloween.

yeah, I took a quick FF-like jaunt over to wikipedia to become an expert on the album lyrics

It did look like an amazing amount of work. It was much appreciated though

Yes, it was quite something.
