Corned Beef?

We must blame them and cause a fuss before somebody thinks of blaming us.

Corn (verb): to preserve or pickle with salt granuels or in brine. It has nothing to do with the grain.

Either the Matrix is readjusting or the topics are starting to repeat.

“Starting” to repeat? GQ has a hard-core docket of about 200 questions that are asked repeatedly (with only minor variation) over different time cycles. “Corned beef” is one of them. Questions attempting to elicit methods whereby time “travel” or faster-than-
light speeds may be accomplished are on a particularly short wavelength, as are (basically unanswerable) questions pertaining to the Planck epoch and the big bang. Fake breasts and cum-swallowing and traffic laws and oh my I’m burnt toast sorry
for the outburst.

Sorry Nickrz, but i just found it easier to let someone else apply their knowledge. If everyone who had a question went and researched it themselves, then there would be no need for the SDMB, would there?

This particular answer can be found in a dictionary.

Cripes, the one time handy doesn’t post to a thread…


I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now I’m lucky if I can find a half an hour a week in which to get funky.
