TLDW, but I think his knife skills aren't the problem as much as the knife.
If you kept watching you'd have noticed that he uses more than one knife.
Also the end is the best part.
The end was better than the beginning, but I wouldn't know about the middle. His mom is going to be upset if he doesn't but the candle holder back in the powder room.
Tomato? Tofu? No fish sauce? That is some bullshit pad Thai.
What if the fish died of natural causes?
Then neither is pad Thai. Anyway, fish sauce aside, tomato? Wevs.
I think it looks pretty tasty, but that was a fucklot of sugar.
I wonder if the black metal chef is actually female. Hands don't look male to me.
I wonder what happened to the gal who ran the Atmospheric Black Metal Kitchen blog.
In unrelated news (potentially NSFW, I guess): TOP 10 MOST RIDICULOUS BLACK METAL PICS OF ALL TIME.
Due to my temporarily forgetting about the Firefox caching glitch, I briefly thought this was another Gena the Crocodile episode.
I prefer the New Asatanists myself, but I'm shallow and glib that way.
The tomato smooths out the flavor, Jesus.
It's amazing how much Black Metal cookery resembles immediate post-collegiate poorly equipped kitchen cookery. I swear I had that same tomato knife.
The tomato smooths out the flavor, Jesus.
Man, Satan has all the best cooking shows.
16: Scissors to cut the pizza? He's clearly related to my mother.
This book review a friend just got seems vaguely relevant.
17: No clue other than a random Google hit, but I like it.
The Sun City Girls are undoubtedly the best band ever to have an extremely uneasy relationship with orientalism.
Before I had heard anything by them, I think, I was captivated by the artwork on the inner ... what-do-you-call-them, flaps? ... of the three-LP "reish" of 330,003 Crossdressers from beyond the Rig Veda, which doesn't appear to be online.
21: I guessed you might have been familiar with them. And now through the vagaries of Firefox (and this site?), the workout booty shake video is what shows up in the OP on this particular machine!
20: I'm kind of curious what they sound like, but I ain't gonna play Sun City.
22: Possibly the picture on the 2nd video on the right on this page (although I'm going to guess that is the back), or maybe what the 1st one switches to about halfway through.

Or since that is what you posted in 26, probably not.
19. Years back there was an article in I think Giant Robot about how American prisons don't generally serve very much Asian food, so incarcerated Asian Americans have to improvise. The article provided recipes. The one that I remember was for prison kimchi, which involved salad or coleslaw, hot sauce, other scrap vegetables, a plastic baggie, and a couple of days.
I very much hope it wasn't one of you fuckers who wrote this little three-minute wank:
Was it really so essential that these students read Faulkner? Most of them, frankly, seem to struggle with plain old contemporary prose, the level of writing one might find in, say, the New Yorker.
Daniel: I've prepared some proforma letters for you. See below.
Dear New Yorker,
Please cancel my subscription. I am sick of your plain old contemporary prose.
Yours,
Daniel.

Dear Iowa Writer's Workshop,
Please subscribe me to your quarterly review. I would very much like to be exposed to more of your complex, innovative, yet somehow timeless prose.
Yours,
Daniel
Hey neb, did you get this via B. (Haskell) O'Sull/ivan or did he get it from you? Or independent discovery?
I got it from metafilter. The only connection I have with B. O'S is that I've read Real World Haskell, so I doubt he got it from me.
He's teaching a Haskell class at Sangfroid next year, I believe.
And Alan Co/de will be joining the faculty. Too bad for me (in these respects)! I'll be elsewhere.
