You said to cook rice like pasta.... do you really think you can cook
15 pounds of pasta in a 24 qt pot... and there'd be no draining, you'd

Just shut the **** up already before you're in a roaster... you sound
just like some certain dumb ass lying sidewinder WOP mother****er who
never even ran a lemonade stand... friggin dago chinky jesus-juice

Rice A Roni Moron... I got yer practice run... suck this!

Stop lying... move on to one of the OT threads where you may know
something... they're always talking bi-polar garbage, you'll fit right
in with the rest of the ****ing bi-polar frauds. All yoose Bobs the
same, retarded liars... never met a Bob yet who had an IQ higher than a
snake's belly or more integrity than a cockroach. Only thing lower is
a D'Wayne.. the "DW" is for Disingenuous Worm.

Robert is a mirage... it's Rob it! You're a THIEF!
