Awww... sad. I hate it when friends are lost.

Sorry to bring this up... but we had a guy in Ozdebate called 'Clancy'
who died not long after Peter Lucas arrived.

Even tho he was dying he went out of his way to leave a message for
him which is still on the ozdebate site.

I say this not to stir things up but to show just how bad his
behaviour was 5 - 6 years ago - and it hasn't changed.

The url is www.ozdebate.com go to the 'Vale' section and read Clancy's
'tribute' to Peter and then ask just who is causing problems with
whom.

Clancy was a really nice guy who never had a bad word to say about
anyone - except this once

Moosemeat was a beloved member of rfc. He was a rascal and FUNNY as
all get out... He'd post the most outrageous things in all innocence.
Boiling ribs before baking or bbqing is common in many households, but
post it here or on alt.binaries.food and it's like waving a red flag
in front of a bull. He did that sort of stuff. You could call him
our resident troll who wasn't really trying to be a troll. He was
sooo good natured, such a nice guy - that nobody could ever get mad at
him. He stirred to pot so to speak. What he did was cause a big
controversy in complete innocence. Everybody here loved him in spite
of his occasional sincere, but totally outrageous posts. Look him up.
One spelling is Mosemeat.

That's probably right. I knew it was missing a letter. It wasn't
missing that letter because he wanted it that way, but someone else at
his ISP had already snagged the regular spelling when he signed on.

Butter's used in the batter for plenty of steamed puddings I think -
golden syrup pudding for one. You make a batter of sorts for the
pudding, just like you do with a cake, and steaming is just a different
way of heating. Here's an example of a pudding recipe with butter -

Hi Blake,

I'm not too bad. Has been a while - been busy doing other things and not
looking in here too often. Had an email from Barb the other day and thought
"I must stop in at RFC and see what's happening" plus it's getting close to
Christmas and inspiration is always welcome.

Putting my Christmas baking and confectionery making lists together at the
moment. At a get together the other day someone brought Christmas rocky
road - made with with white chocolate, white marshmallows, pistachios and
craisins. Tasted good and looked great - will make some nice gifts.

How are your Christmas cooking plans going?

That and Taco Salad. Here's what he posted on July 12, 2000. He was
pretty funny.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have been requested to prepare my world famous taco salad for a party
of
seven. Since flour tortillas come ten to a package I will make ten of
them as follows
This is salad where you are expected to eat the salad bowl and all so
you make the bowls by laying an 8" tortilla over the bottom basket of
a
set of nested baskets which is submerged in hot oil. The top basket
or
perhaps you could call it the male (big blush here) basket is placed o
n
top of the tortilla and as the tortilla heats the basket on top sinks
and forms the taco bowl. Let cook until the bowl becomes a very nice
shade of light tan. Remove baskets, separate and let bowl (now
formed)
cool and dry on paper toweling.
Filling:
Three pounds hamburger browned
Three packages of Taco Seasoning (Lawrys)
Two big cans of red kidney beans.
Mix all together.
You will need:
Big pile of shredded iceberg lettuce
Big pile of shredded cheddar cheese

Place some lettuce on bottom of bowl
spoon in a healthy helping of meat/bean mixture
Top with big spoonful Thousand Island dressing
Top with shredded cheddar.

It is recommended that Guacamole dip and Sour cream be served in
separate dishes in case somebody wants to jazz up their salad.

If you don't have a set of nested baskets-zoom down to the nearest
Department store and get a set.

Some of his stories were amusing, like when he had a family cookout for
Mavis, and did none of the work. He was priceless.

Several years ago, supermarkets were asking if you wanted "Paper or
plastic", he suggested that we tell them we were "bi-sackual". He said
he would buy me a box of donuts if I said it.

The limericks were my favorite.

I went out to buy Mavis (not my mother) a little trinket for Mother's Day.
Bought a 38 cal stainless steel revolver with nifty walnut grips; a bargain
I just couldn't turn down. How was I to know that Shooters Supply didn't
have a line of women's stuff.

By having these long, involved discussions with raging assholes like "Lou"
you are simply giving him and the rest of them much more attention than they
are worth. Let them post what they want. I won't see them unless someone
replies and if they do, if the feeling moves me, I will comment. I will in
fact say any ****ing thing I feel like saying, at any time. If people don't
like my comments, they can killfile me. It makes me happy. If they will, as
you are doing, persist in responding to these assholes, particularly when
they are discussing me, well, they--and you--deserve what you get.

It's Usenet, not Margaret Suran's cocktail party. (Bless you Margaret.)

Please stop defending me. I don't need defending. If you don't like what
people are posting, killfile them.

When you attempt to control what people are posting, you're doing the same
****ing thing (albeit in a less mean-spirited way) that Lou, Bob "the raging
alcoholic" T., and Morrow do.

Sadly, one of the people in that thread didn't understand Moosie. What
made his stories acceptably funny to me, was that I was sure he didn't
actually do most of the things he posted about.

Moosmeat. He said he spelled it that way because his settings would
not support a name longer than 8 letters. Who knows why, actually?
You never knew if you were getting a straight answer from him.

He made fun of wine snobs frequently. His wife was known as Saint
Mavis. He did woodworking as a hobby and actually made some kitchen
tools for a few rfc people.

In 2003 he posted that he couldn't tell the difference between a $40 and
$4 bottle of wine. I kiddingly suggested that rfc take up a collection
to send him and Mavis to Napa Valley on a wine tasting tour to refine
his palate.

His only comment:

"Will I have to wear a tie?"

He was an interesting guy and I miss his humor.

I was just going to tell Giusi, that I ain't drinking no ****ing
cocktail, but if I tell her and Bubba Vic happens to see it, my evil
hidden side will be exposed.

In any case, I am looking forward to having a drink with Giusi some day,
but it will have to be a glass of wine or a glass of Scotch and Bubba
will certainly be invited to join us. Giusi may certainly indulge in
the Cocktail of her choice. My treat, before Victor grabs the check. I
speak from experience.

Blatant, shameless, unprincipled, unpardonable lies! You grab the bill
and pay it! Always! With a lot of experience!

Who knows? She wouldn't make a sailor blush but she has, when occasion,
demands, a colorful way with words.

She doesn't want to dilute the booze.

Now, there's a joke. Liar, liar, pants on fire!! LOL!!! I recall a
certain dimly lit Russian restaurant where a fight nearly broke out
between the two of you. It was kind of fun to watch. If memory serves,
you beat him out of the check.

Almost every year I make a good sized batch of mincemeat and always add suet.
I have also used it in the pastry for savory pies. I would use it on the
rare occasion that I make a Christmas pudding. That’s about it.

Thank you. I actually meant, how do you deal with it? Do you mince it,
chop it or what? Does it need any kind of preparation before you use it?

Oh, not just me then I like unsweetened filter coffee but hate anything
else with that flavour.
