• WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: I went to school for baking and pastry and do it mostly on the side for fun now. That’s why it is so nice to be able to share recipes, get helpful tips on what can make a dish better, and find some of the yummiest recipes around.



• DISCUSSION TIP: Definitely share your recipes as well as where you went wrong with them.

• BEST RANDOM QUOTE: “Who do I have to blow to get paid to write ‘recipes’ for MICROWAVING SOME FUCKING BACON? Seriously! You tell me who I have to blow, and I will go to town!“
• MOST HEATED DISCUSSION THREAD: Rachel Ray…Funny Shit

.
• WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: Anyone who wants to get/give epic recipes!

Following a grueling six-year legal battle, the video game industry has kicked the ass of California lawmakers who wanted to ban the sale of violent games to minors. The successfully appealed California Assembly Bills 1792 & 1793 would have made it illegal to sell excessively violent games to anyone underage. However, there is no similar legal penalty applied for including similar content in other forms of comparable media, such as books, music, movies, etc. While the legal battle is officially over, critics of the Supreme Court ruling are just beginning to raise their voices. Everyone from The Daily Show to the Washington Times has attacked the court’s position, without ever noting it would have separated video games into a unique category, while opening the door to further censorship and restrictions on all other forms of art, creativity, and media.

Dave McKean’s first love was comics, but the artist, designer and writer has branched into other fields, creating book and album covers, publishing multiple books of his photographs and paintings, and has even drawn stamps for the Royal Mail. He’s the illustrator of Arkham Asylum, the landmark 1989 graphic novel written by Grant Morrison. He worked with John Cale on multiple books and collaborated with Heston Blumenthal on the memoir and cookbook, The Big Fat Duck Cookbook.

McKean is probably best known for his many collaborations with writer Neil Gaiman. McKean was the cover artist on The Sandman, illustrated Coraline and The Graveyard Book and the pair have created a series of graphic novels and picture books including Violent Cases, Signal to Noise and Mr. Punch. One of their collaborations was the film Mirrormask, which McKean co-wrote, designed and directed. It’s led to another career as a filmmaker, with two films currently in progress.

Working on his own, McKean has crafted dozens of short comics, many of which were collected in the book Pictures That Tick. He also authored Cages which is widely considered one of the most acclaimed and ambitious graphic novels ever created. McKean’s new book is Celluloid which was published by Delcourt in France and was just released by Fantagraphics in the United States.

Luscious Suicide in The Moor

• INTO: Small government, the right to privacy, the right to bear arms, drinking fine organic red wine and local beer made with spring water, copulating daily, getting my empty skin-canvas covered with art from my favorite minds, hanging out with Dane, free running in my city, animal rights, Rattus Rattus, old rods, shooting pool, BOWLING!, old school non-CGI special effects, going to shows, rocking out with the box out, camping/shroom benders with good friends, traveling, sustainable organic gardening, shopping at thrift stores, repairing old busted crusty things to be re-used, finding things on the street, having bonfires, winging things, running inanimate objects over with my car, getting all dolled up, laying in bed smoking delicious home grown cannabis all day, reverse-osmosis filtered water systems!
• NOT INTO: Big government, chlorine and fluoride being added to water, being exposed to toxins in daily life, electro-magnetic chaos, stress, high definition TVs, pesticides, genetically modified foods/animals, chemtrails, vaccines, religion and those who force it on others, wasteful consumer whores, self-absorbed assholes, fast food, anything imported from China that is not art, unconstitutional taxes, bills (particularly Bill C-51), and drama of any kind.
• MAKES ME HAPPY: Livin’ the dream, working at home with the love of my life. Went from counter wench at Way Cool in Niagara in 1998, to owning my own studio in 2010! Go team Snibbard! The feeling when people come back to my shop and thank me for “waking them up.” Having a long walk with my farfels, and a packed bong after a hard days work. Any day where a large captive animal mauls, tramples, or kills a human, especially tigers. Any day where a crooked politician is publicly embarrassed, made to fumble on their own words and backpedal desperately.
• MAKES ME SAD: The fact that they took phonics out of school the same year pharmaceutical companies started paying schools $500/head for kids being medicated for made-up conditions. Manufactured news, fake “recessions” only made for corporate takeovers and to line the pockets of the wealthy. The intentional “dumbing down” and distraction of society to repress uprising, free thought, and speech. People excessively eating mass produced, abused animals. Not so much that eating animals is wrong in nature, but not necessary in today’s age. My stand is more-so a protest to society’s abuse of nature. Realistically, I would eat animals if it was back in the day when there were old school local organic butcher shops, and there wasn’t a fast food empire based on their demise. I would absolutely love to hunt, blood-let, and skin my own animals to eat, much like my family does. Please eat only local kosher meat 🙂
• HOBBIES: Snowboarding, jogging, perusing, gardening, paintball, wake boarding, drunk-ass bocce ball in the sunshine, metal working, painting, roller derby, hiking, road tripping.
• 5 THINGS I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT: METAL!! (in a loud shrieking voice), hydrogen peroxide, Dr.Bronners, tea tree oil, snowboarding.
• VICES: The chronic, those little succulent Thai patties from Zen Gardens, goji, acai, mangosteen and noni juices.
• I SPEND MOST OF MY FREE TIME: Perusing Infowars.com, PrisonPlanet.com, reading, planting things, maintaining as much greenery indoors as possible, hanging out with nature, exercising – your body should be your temple, and it should be a well-oiled machine, free of pain.
