I heard someplace, perhaps NPR, that there are a couple of new Indian-Mexican fusion restaurants in Los Angeles.

Hmmm. That sounds really fun.

This here isn’t quite Indo-Mex fusion. These folks make only Indian main dishes, so no carnitas or refried beans or yellow rice. And you can get the usual Indian main courses served as a plate w the usual Indian accompaniments of seasoned basmati, naan, rotis, samosas, etc,.

Or you can have your meal sorta more as a pick-it-up taco style lunch. Very interesting.

Papadams are too crunchy and fragile to be stuffed.

I think if you cook them into the u shape, they would not be that different from taco shells.

Well, I hope not. Boarders should keep their bedroom doors closed when engaging in sexual activities; and refrain from such things in public rooms.

Notably the defendant was not charged with attempted murder or criminal conspiracy, only making threatening statements. That was probably to avoid the issue of entrapment.

> A 25-year-old man was arrested for an alleged assault in Council Bluffs on a former Arizona U.S. Senator.

This obvious genius thought it would be a good idea to assault a former Senator and former fighter pilot. It did not go well for him. Not as badly as one might hope, but he’s done. Probably not a politically motivated crime, but the fact he picked a semi-celebrity semi-official pretty well ensures the prosecution isn’t going to play nice.

He sure seems to fit the “stupid MF’s” thread better than the “evil MFs”. Attacking people is evil, but is pretty garden variety evil.

I stay very far away from all scandinavian biological weapons. In head to head matches

I believe the rankings are:

Surströmming  
Lutefisk  
Hakarl

Lutefisk and hakarl could switch places, but Surströmming is always top.
