I just saw the most beautiful polish woman I have ever seen in my life. I had just bought an okicim (a polish beer that is sung about at thegoodflame.com. Just go to song #22 called "the polish drinking song") downstairs and was making the 12 step journey to my building. I heard the voice of an angel speaking in the language that dominates my neighborhood and I turned to see a woman that was obviously from that planet "fox"! I pretended to fumble with my keys so I could observe the incredible being walk by and continue down the block. My neighborhood has some of the hottest women in the world and I am used to them walking by but this chick was not blond. She was tall and had dark hair. I gave a go with the greatest pick-up line that I could think of and yelled "OH MY FUCKING GOD!". She kept walking and I figured it was not meant to be. Eastern European girls make my pants tight. The Polish have nothing but foxes! Then they turn 40 and shrink a foot and grow stuff on their faces. I don't understand genetics but I understand wanting to bang the hottest chick that I have ever seen.

I just voted! I know you are probably thinking to yourself that it isn't even November yet so how was tbone able to beat the system and vote before the rest of us? Well it is actually pretty simple. I am still registered in Oregon. I figure that most of my long run social and economic interests are vested there and I remained registered there for this election. In Oregon we have mail-in voting and so I just changed my address to my parents house and they just forward my ballot to me. It was a big mail day for me today to say the least! I am pre-approved for two, yes two, credit cards and I got the promo pack from Michael Badnarik (libertarian candidate for pres.) and read through it and I must say libertarian literature is always exciting for me! This guy has gotten arrested a few times during the election and screams about his goal of reform and not power, I just love it! I know that I am further right then many people who read here but hey, as bobby brown said, that's my poragative. This was a classic Oregon election year. We had a save the trees measure, a save the gays measure, a medical marijuana measure, and the usually national presidential stuff. Sometimes the ballot looks exactly like the one before, at least in Oregon because of our liberal policies of letting the general population put measures on the ballot. I voted for Kerry. I did this after much thought. I have a habit of voting for third party candidates but this year I decided that bush, who is digging us into a political, economic, and value ridden hole should be removed. I always feel warm inside when I vote and I get excited about the election. So Everyone should go out and vote this election! My suggestion is voting for Kerry, not amending the constitution to keep gays from getting married, and letting sick people smoke whatever they want to! Vote selfishly! Vote for what your truly believe! An Write in The Good Flame for those funny little judgeships in your county that have just one guy running, I know I did!

I have some interesting news kids! I was looking through our site meter referrals page and came across an interesting web search that brought up The Good Flame. These nice people typed in the search: ""girl orgasm", "on the radio"" and came here. I hope they were happy with what they found. God Bless the internet and god bless the good flame! I am drunk...Again!

Another interesting search was from over at MSN. Some one searched for (and I promise this is true, just click on the site meter icon below) " www.nude women.co0m"! This guy is a obviously not so internet savvy but we are first on the list, even though we have no nude women on the entire site! Way to go MSN!

Tbone here with a fun little game. Everyone needs to click on the "Comments" button and do their part to make this fun. The name of the game is "My dick is so big...". I will start it off:

My dick is so big...it has an elbow!

See how easy that is? Let's see how everyone can do! On your marks, get set, goooooonad!

One night, a while back, the real truth came out. We were in Ashland Oregon, about to play a show and I was telling the guys about some sort of sauce I made a few nights before and right in the middle of my story Tobias yelled out "You always tell these cooking stories and they are so fucking boring...we hate them!" and then proceeded to fall out of his chair. I think it took a lot of pabst to give him the guts to finally come clean with me but he did, needless to say I didn't finish the story.
So no one asked for it and most people probably didn't even notice that I mention a Thai-American classic lunch fusion in my last post about the debate but I am going to expand on it a little bit. TOBIAS...LOOK AWAY FROM THE SCREEN OR YOU WILL, I REPEAT, WILL FALL ASLEEP! I invented this sandwich the other day and I realized that it would be perfect for a picnic with a special lady friend or a healthy little lunch with the kids on one of those unfortunate every other weekends that you get them.

The lunch actually starts off with a dinner. You make the dinner the night before and then you use the left overs to make the lunch, or if you are poor like me, you make several lunches. I think this is part of the "American" in the "Thai-American" label of this lunch. The night before you are going to make some white rice. That is easy right? At the same time you are going to make a red Thai peanut curry sauce to put over strips of chicken. Now you are probably wondering "I can do rice, I can do chicken, but what about that sauce...Do I have to blow a china man do get that stuff?" The answer is "No!". It is an easy sauce that can really impress a woman and it wont make her fat!
To make the sauce saute some fresh ginger, red onion, garlic, and cilantro until they start to brown a little bit ( At this point the kitchen is going to start to smell incredible and the pussy juices will start to flow). Then add a can of coconut milk, about a cat turd of red Thai curry paste, and the juice of one lime. I let this cook a little bit and then I add a big ol' scoop of peanut butter. Just stir this for a while until it thickens up, The peanut butter will usually thicken it up enough. After it has thickened up add some more fresh cilantro and throw it into the pan that you have been sauteing the strips of chicken. Don't over cook the chicken guys! Toss it around a bit and put it on top of the rice and you have a nice little dinner for yourself and your bitch. Garnish with a little basil or cilantro. Remember that you only need to use about half, if that much, of the sauce because you want to save the rest for the picnic that you are having with your other lady friend the next day!
For the lunch you are all set. All you need to do is take the container with the sauce you made the night before, a can of tuna fish (god bless America), some lettuce, bread (I like toasted rye), and tomatoes. Take a little bowl and throw in a can of tuna. Then add about a quarter of a red onion that you have finely diced. Then add some salt and pepper and then add about two table spoons (at least) of the sauce that you made the night before. Mix this all together and put it on your toasted bread with some lettuce and tomato and you have yourself a tangy,yummy, get me laid in the park, sandwich.
A lunch is not complete without a salad and the salad is the kicker! Take some sort of green (I like nappa cabbage but I have also used romain but you can really use anything...even ice burg) and throw it into a bowl. Peel an orange and cut it up and throw it into the same bowl. Theeeeen take about a table spoon of fresh ginger that you have diced and throw it into a separate bowl. Add about a four count of honey, a little rice wine vinegar (white or red whine vinegar would also work), a good splash of soy sauce, and stir it all up. As you are stirring, SLOWLY drizzle some sesame oil until you get enough to cover the salad. Add the oil as you are whisking so it doesn't break. The honey is a good emulsifier and will help it stay together but if you throw a bunch of oil in there at once it will break and taste like shit! If you are going to eat the salad right away throw it on, if you are going to eat it later at the nude beach, keep it in a separate container because the acids in the vinegar will wilt the greens.
What about a starch Tbone? Well, you have already spent the 15 minutes the woman deserves so for that you are going to make something a little bit easier then a potato salad or some cole slaw. Get some lays potato chips! What do I look like, some sort of homo!
Any problems, email me at assholewithastory@thegoodflame.com!

Tbone here, and I know that Tobias and I promised to keep politics off of this blog as much as possible but I think this is important.

I thought I was making real progress with the foxy polish chick that sits next to me in my evening class that I had tonight but I still slipped out of class 30 minutes early to make sure I got home in time to make my self a nice little quick dinner (which actually turned out really nice and was a no cook sort of thing. I had it done in 15 minutes, start to finish. I am going to call it a Thai-American classic lunch fusion) and watch the debate. I also wanted to make sure I had some beer. I ended up watching it with my roommate and her foxy little friend that comes over pretty often and makes me feel all warm inside. I watched, I ate my fusion, and I declare Edwards a clear winner in this. After the debate I went downstairs and bought another beer and jumped on the ol' world wide web and I noticed many sites saying that Cheney was the winner. My question is this: Who was the clear winner in this debate?
I could see the disagreements about the Kerry/bush debate but this one, at least I felt, was pretty cut and dry. So come on kids, leave a comment! I know we get a lot of foreign traffic so if you really don't know or care...Just agree with me.

I have to say that autumn in New York is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. It is the sweet spot between the humidity of the summer and the freezing temperatures of the winter. It doesn't last very long but this morning it materialized in grand fashion. Today has been crisp. I have worn a sweater all day, which is the first time I have had, or could have, done so all season. It encourages me to go outside, and when I go outside I encounter people dressed as lobsters. Today, between classes, I went down to the virgin megastore in times square to listen to some new rock and roll music...ok, I admit, I was just planning on listening to the Broadway cast recording of Avenue Q, but that is besides the point! In times square there are vendors everywhere and people trying to sell you little trinkets and rip off designer purses. Many of the restaurants in the area hire people to dress up in a funny costumes and stand in the middle of the sidewalk and scream out the daily specials. I was walking behind this hasidic Jew and his friend and up ahead I noticed there could be some trouble. It looked like the Olive Garden was having a lobster special and a man dressed as a giant lobster was stationed in the middle of the sidewalk spouting this fact. One fact that I have realized about these time square workers is that they usually are not so bright. They don't have a real grasp on the basics. So what is Kosher and not Kosher is a very foreign concept for these folks. The to hasidic Jews were talking in Hebrew or something (probably something about diamonds or the large amount of keys the have attached to their waist) and just walking along weaving in and out of the oncoming pedestrian traffic. I was sort of drafting them, trying to avoid the people with strollers and families that stop for no reason outside of the empty TRL studio. Then it all happened. The shit went down. Times Square got some schpelkis in it's connectizionk.
The lobster decided that the Jewish men would be perfect candidates for the lobster lunch special. He walked up to them and starting spouting off about how it was a great deal and was trying to get them to take his coupons. The Jewish guys seemed a little annoyed, but civil, and tried to keep walking. The lobster followed and wouldn't shut the fuck up about the lobster special. I really don't think that the lobster realized that Jews don't dig on lobster, so I think it was just pure stupidity that was encouraging rather then racial prejudices. The Jewish guys finally started to get annoyed and one of them pushed the ranting lobster man away. It wasn't a hard push, just a shove to encourage the giant lobster to step aside. At this point a man next to me murmured to himself "that fucking lobster" and shook his head. The lobster then started to yell some obscenities at the men and approach them again, but this time I don't think the purpose was to hand them a coupon. As the lobster approached, the man who had pushed the lobster previously pushed him to the ground with a mighty shove! The lobster almost ran into me on his way down but my frog like reflexes side stepped the falling crustacean and he fell to the ground next to me. The men looked back, shook there heads and continued walking. I had no choice but to stare at the lobster struggling to climb to his feet. It was a large suit and you know what they say about a lobster on it's back! As the lobster was rising he murmured something about being an actor under his breath and retreated back to the doorway of the olive garden. All in all, Fall is a great time to be in New York.

Catalyst4Christ is the anti-christ. I hate him! Go to his site and sign his guest book and tell him to die! Tell him to eat raw chicken and die from food poising. A death from diarrhea and puking is the best this person deserves. I hate this mother fucker and I would beat the shit out of him if I saw him on the street. Go to http://www.reddink.com/MixedNuts.htm and sign the asshole's guest book.

On a lighter note...The Good Flame's complete new album is available for download at thegoodflame.com.

Howdy folks, Wallace here on a beautiful autumn day in Corvallis.
I would like to say that I have updated out home page to include several of our recent Blog Roll additions. Also, congrats to the QAC for getting started and helping in the control of Quality.

This promises to be a blast.

So here's the deal. I tried to choose a template for www.qualitycontrol.blogspot.com that would allow for people to leave comments without signing in through blogger, but it didn't happen. I sent you guys the username and password so maybe you can figure out what the fuck is wrong with it.

Whittler, I couldn't find your email (I'm using a shitty computer), so just let me know and I'll sign you up as a member of the site.

Let me know what you think.

First off, there's a guy right next to me right now who's listening to Shania Twain's "I feel like a woman" and he's surfing the web over at www.gay.com. Seriously, I'm not making this up. Should I tell him to sit somewhere else? I can smell his femi-man scent. Oh God someone take my life.

Anywho, hit up www.food4eyes.esoul.it because I've never seen a photoblog before. Sirio, the photoblogger in question, has declared that The Good Flame's blog is the greatest he has seen. He is correct, and his great insight into the ways of the world has opened my eyes to the truth of the matter. Quality Control has no photoblogger. Why not? It's novilty blogging people. Next we could get a Jew, then an Asian! Jamie Jameson fulfills the sexpot catagory, this is absolutley snowballing out of my control, friends. We could potentialy have people spending the entirity of their blogging day be spent surfing through the alliance! Church signs as far as the eye can see! Poo poo. So head over Sirio's way and say hello.

Speaking of Quality Control, Joe came up with the idea of having an HQ site. I'm thinking nothing to outlandish, we already have our own blogs to take care of. I was thinking of having something like the church sign, and underneath linking us up, maybe some comments from us, and bam- we'll call it HQ. What do you think?

Aaaaahh, the internet. My kingdom. It is a vast and wide kingdom, my internet. Sometimes a King has to get out of the castle and ride his horse through the country, know what I mean? So I've been bloghunting. "Why not," I thought to myself, "go out in the world and try make Quality Control a skoshe bigger, a skoshe stronger. RECRUIT!" So I roamed my kingdom in search of those that would be considered worthy. I was unable to leave a comment from this computer at gods4suckers. I was going to write down the adress, but I forgot. You can hit them up via Joe. Gods4suckers is an athiest's blog, and I'll tell you, I find it smart and witty. Give it a go, won't you.

Hey, if you haven't been over Mikey J the Dude Fucking Racist's shlog in a few days, check out the new template. It's pure comedy.

Tobias here, and I'm a little drunk, so you'll have to excuse my drunken rambling.

The first issue is might. You may have noticed that I have taken exception to IMAO's claim that he is mighty. Why would one take offense to such a thing? Well, let us break down the definition of mighty down to a single word, shall we? "In order to attain mightyness, one should....."
No, no no, dumbass, I said a single word. Try it. "If by mighty you mean......" STOP IT! You shithead! I said one word, can you do that? "Absolutley, I just...." STOP IT!!! STOP IT NOW!!!! ONE WORD!! CAN IT BE DONE?!!! "Backbone." Oooohhhhhh, backbone, is that what it all boils down to? Well if that is the stripped down-bare bones version of it, why is it so plainly lacking over with Francis Sans Mighty's shlog? He rants and raves, I'll give you that, but does the ability to say words offer anyone any kind of truth or validity? No! If any one of Francis Sans Mighty's flunkies had the brain cells to function properly, they would have never come to this blog in his aid. What a bunch of fuck-nuggets. The guy posts as often as Mikey J, and that coallation has led me to this conclusion: People who are stupid and know it hide behind a virtual avalanche of posts and explanations becuase they are afraid that someone will beable to see through their "glasshouse" of idealogy. Seriously, Francis Sans Mighty either has the worst case of ADHD recorded in our nation's history, or he has no valid point to make, so he covers up with his incessant ramblings. Who has the time? Who has the spare effort? He's a coward, we all knew that, but even worse, he is an intellectual coward, unable and unwilling to defend himslef. Grow a backbone, shithead. Stand up for the sake of your honor.

"Catch Me if You Can" is a great movie, and it recieves a whopping 4 vaginas. Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks and Chris Walkens' performances are all frog-worthy. Speilberg shows why he is the most coveted director in Hollywood.

I like Cheeseburgers.
