We've not had HBO in years now, and I picked up a copy of the first season
when working at a used music store. I watched the first episode, and tried
to make it into the second, but it just didn't grab me at all.

Hardly.

I've not seen a single second of a single episode and plan to keep it
that way. I thought The Godfather sucked, too. ;)

The Godfather was a good book, but the movie was not as good.
Unfortunately, that is typical.

I never watched it until the last episode, but just before it aired I
borrowed some CDs from Season 5. It was so good I watched three episodes in
a row last night, and I am planning to watch 2-3 more tonight.

Hey Dave, I'm glad you liked it.

Tammy, we all have our own tastes, but sometimes we don't even know
what they are until we are grudgingly drawn in.

I've never seen Wizard of Oz; I know that makes me an odd ball :-),
but not seeing the Sopranos will not make you an odd ball.

Myself, I probably wouldn't have watched them, either, as I said in my
previous post, but I think watching them with someone would be more
enjoyable that by one's self. DH & I are foreign film buffs and watch
loads. Some of them I will walk out, but DH will say just give it a
try. Then we either really get into it, or realize, hey, this really
IS bad.

Until the start of this lamentable thread I happily wasn't even aware of
the show's existence.

ObDrink: Assassino, from <http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink1p26o41.html>.

Victor

Assassino

2 - 3 dashes sambuca
1 oz dry vermouth
2 oz whiskey
1 oz club soda
1 oz pineapple juice

Shake vermouth, whiskey and pineapple juice together in a cocktail
shaker. Pour into a collins glass, and top it off with club soda,
leaving enough room for a bit of sambuca on top.

Serve in: Collins Glass

Yet you seem somehow compelled to reply to a thread that holds no interest
for you. Interesting.

Are you aware that you can ignore an *entire* thread?

Are you perhaps related to Jerry Sack? <insert maniacal laughter here>

So what's your favorite brand of sambuco? (And is it available
state-side?)

Remember the scene in the last episode where the two FBI guys were talking,
and one of them says, "We might win this thing"?

Just imagine the series ending right there. No more questions.

When they said that, I thought that the FBI meant that they were
playing Phil's men and Tony's men against one another and they would
kill each other off. Do you mean something different than that?
Such intigue!

I just recorded the 1st and 2nd seasons of Top Chef which I hadn't
been interested in previously,but I can't see much else of interest to
me at this time. Top Chef, season 2 started tonight. I'll probably
not watch any until the snowy season. Cancelling Dish "Everything"
after Rome finishes up this Saturday night. I've barely gotten a
movie out of the subscription as I've rented them before they come to
Dish.

I noticed Anthony Bourdain is on Top Chef this 1st season first
segment, as I was flipping by. I missed the last 15 minutes of it --
it goes 1 hr. 15 minutes -- and had to record it again.

I don't know if he is on every segment or not.

None! I cannot stand any anise-flavoured concoctions. {{{shudder}}}

Most every one of them can be found anywhere. See
<http://www.drinksmixer.com/desc228.html>. Molinari is probably the
best regarded of the widely available brands. Where are you, I forget?
In or near San Jose? Bevmo is sure to carry it.

First, I replied to a person, not to a thread. Second, the thread does
hold interest to me, it being yet another example of the diarrhoe of
irrelevancy, which fact I took care to point out, even if in very mild
terms - too mild for you to notice.

Now what compelled you to respond to my post? The same kind of diarrhoe
or another one?

> Are you aware that you can ignore an *entire* thread?

No, I have never been aware of this option. Thank you kindly for the
edification! Could you please take some more of your valuable time to
post yet more inanities^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Htips?

> Are you perhaps related to Jerry Sack? <insert maniacal laughter here>

Have you been doing a lot of drugs or alcohol lately? Both?

ObFood: Tapulon, a Piedmontese donkey meat stew. The recipe is from
<http://www.cookaround.com/cook/italia/piemonte/confro-1.php?id_ric=525>.

Dear Victor, to reply to a person, use email. To reply to a thread, do what
you did.

Second, the thread

Indeed, see above.

Just one of the 2, take your pick.

Dear Allan, I'll put it to you gently while typing slowly... There are
two ways to reply to a person:

1. Public.

2. Private.

Also, one does not reply to a thread; one replies in a thread to a
person or post of one's choice.

HTH.

ObFood: Mashed potatoes with sauerkraut and blutwurst (black pudding).
Cook sauerkraut with some lard and crumbled bacon. Mash freshly boiled
potatoes with some milk and butter. Fry some slices of blutwurst. Mix
sauerkraut with the potatoes in relation 1:3 and mix well. Serve with
slices of blutwurst on top.
