You want a nasty cut of beef, that's the flank steak, the traditional cut used for beef fajitas. Since I don't like how stringy and tough that cut is, I use 3/4 inch thick round steak, sliver-sliced and well marinated for my fajitas.

Agreed! I use round or chuck in a similar fashion for my "chili", instead of hamburger. In fact about the only thing I do use ground beef for is hamburgers and wildcat, although Angie makes a killer meatloaf. That probably comes from when I was a child and my Mom used cheap ground beef whenever possible because it was cheap, and invariably overcooked it.

I believe the tradition of corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day developed in New York, where the Irish immigrants picked up an appreciation of corned beef from their Jewish neighbors.

I've heard that too. I looked it up last night because I always wondered... and apparently the word "corn" referred to the large grains of salt used in the curing process... hence, "corned" beef. Corn to Europeans could mean almost any coarse grain... not just foodstuffs but also gunpowder which was previously used in curiing meats :eek:. How it came to specifically mean maize in America, I do not know.

See, the interwebz really are useful for something besides knife pics and lolcats :p

I have what I'm sure is a stupid question... What is the difference between PALS and MOLLE?

Is it just that PALS is the actual "laddering" while MOLLE is the overall system(the locks and everything)? I'm always seeing things that are "PALs Compatible" or "MOLLE compatible" but aren't they both interchangeable?

Before I get the "GOOGLE IT NOOB" answers, I did and everything I was finding was saying they are interchangeable so I figured I'd ask the smartest people I know... for this kind of stuff.

It is my understanding that PALS webbing straps are continuous whilst MOLLE webbing is spaced every other row, so fer instance PALS would be .75" wide webbing solidly row after row whereas MOLLE is one row of .75" webbing, then skip a row, then another row of .75" webbing. I could however be completely wrong.

EDIT: Appears I was wrong, although I think my theory might hold up when shopping for stuff. MOLLE was the first setup using that type of laddered webbing for the Marines, and as was more widely adopted was then called PALS. Apparently more like brand name differences from what I just read in a couple of places, but again, no guarantees that I am right.
 
Wow. Go Fox. They made the mistake of putting the camera on a producer's laptop for showing pics of the Seattle helicopter crash, and ended up showing a picture of Edward Scissorhands, followed by a male reproductive organ, on live television. Fail.

That's what they get for clicking through some random person's photo gallery on air.
 
I wonder if that dude even knows his wang made the news.
 
Wotta buncha maroons... if anyone in the Denver area is looking for a TV production job, looks like there will be a couple openings soon.

I'm reminded of the Korean (?) airliner crash a few months ago, where some news station got tricked into "reporting" the crews' names as obvious racial slurs/jokes on live TV. If these nitwits would take a few minutes to find out what's actually going on instead of rushing to air anything that might get them a "scoop" and win them an award, that stuff wouldn't happen.

What was that movie with William Hurt? Broadcast News? There aren't a lot of actual journalists still left on air anymore....just pretty, vacuous faces for the most part, void of most of the emotion that ought to go with most of the grisly stuff that they report. I don't care to watch the "news" anyway....there really doesn't seem much to garner from it.

Agreed on all counts. I wouldn't even know about this story except it popped up on my FB and in here.

Doctor told me the same... he told me that basically for the past while doctors have been trying to solve heart issues, and the thought was, no fat, no fried foods, blah blah, etc etc... BUT turns out that since this crusade they have not made a dramatic impact on heart disease and now people are developing more brain issues... LOL I cant back that up, just taking his word for it. The guy is great though, started a conversation about knives one time, and all the sudden he pulled this out...



A custom Steven Lynn he just received... My doctor is a knife guy HAHA! Best doctor ever lol.

That looks a lot like a HI Cherokee Rose, Bowie, only much more nicely executed. Thats a fine fightin knife if I ever saw one.

It was really quite nice. Some things about it that were different than other bowies I have seen are it had a full tang with scales... The handle was contoured instead of traditionally style coffin or stick type handle etc etc. With a good solid guard... .25" thick 440C stainless very nicely balanced and finished blade. It was just a well done heavy duty type bowie, not cheap either... surprised he let me hold it LOL. One of these days when I am making billions of dollars I am going to have someone make me a big ol bowie and I am going to wear it around everywhere and use it to cut up everything like a mad man. That pretty much sums up my life plan... :cool:
