It's really amusing how people blame this or that. Dear Monica - the only person responsible for destroying your reputation, is....YOU!
Though, not to be called a MCP (that's a Male Chauvinist Pig, not a Microsoft Certified Professional) I would agree that Bill did have a small part in that process to, if I, erm, 'member that correctly.

Mr. Bill certainly had a part in it - the fun part if I recall.
However - apparently Ms. Monica was trained by her mother to take advantage of such opportunities and encouraged by Linda Tripp to save the spotted garment.
No sympathy for little Monica - she'll just have to 'swallow' her pride and get on with things.

Sadly, if you made a line of petrified poop jewelry and offered it online for <$10.00, you'd sell a million units your first week.

Dear me.
"Popular culture" is a singular noun being used generically, while "virii" is a plural*.
What on Earth is the world coming to, when errors like this occur in Internet message-board postings?
* Which some might argue is misspelled, given that the rest of the posting is in English, not Latin.

I can make chili almost anytime of the year, but I prefer, to make it in the Fall/Winter time. For me, it is the perfect comfort food. I like to try different recipes. I haven't decided what recipe I will use for my first batch this year.
I know the internet has an endless supply, and imagination is half the fun, but I would be interested to see some of your recipes.

I have to admit that I'm cutting down on the hotter chilis.
There's a possibly older and funnier version of that text in Swedish[^]. But I assumed that would be a bit problematic for most people in the lounge to follow.
OT.
Thanks for the files.

Does it have the Wagner reference in it? I found that quite amusing, trying to imagine a Texan in a 10 gallon hat chill'in out with Wagner!

No, but it's a bit more descriptive, and has a quick recipe for the people in hurry. Skip all ingredients except the Tequila.

I love chili (hot, but not flaming) and can and do eat it any time of the year, but you're right it's better on a cool/cold day.
Which reminds me I need to stock up on flame retardant jockies.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Recipe schmecipe. I just dump a bunch of stuff in the crock pot. Thanks for the reminder though.

Here's the one I start with (I adjust according to how it tastes)
• 500g lean minced beef (10% or less fat)
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
• 2 tsp hot chilli powder (To taste: you probably want to work up from this, not down)
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 2 tbsp plain flour
• 150ml red wine
• 300ml beef stock, made with 1 beef stock cube
• 400g can of chopped tomatoes
• 400g can of red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 3 tbsp tomato purée
• 1 tsp caster sugar
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 bay leaf
• couple of squares good plain chocolate - the higher the cocoa percentage the better.
• salt
• freshly ground black pepper
Cooking Method
1. Place a large non-stick saucepan over a medium heat and add the beef and onions. Cook together for 5 minutes, stirring the beef and squishing it against the sides of the pan to break up the lumps. Add the garlic, 1–2 teaspoons of chilli powder, depending on how hot you like your chilli, and the cumin and coriander. Fry together for 1–2 minutes more. Sprinkle over the flour and stir well.
2. Slowly add the wine and then the stock, stirring constantly. Tip the tomatoes into the pan and stir in the tomato purée, caster sugar, oregano and bay leaf. Add the chocolate. Season with a pinch of salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
3. Bring to a simmer on the hob, then transfer to a slow cooker leave to simmer gently for 4 or so hours, stirring occasionally. Add the kedney beans and simmer another hours. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve.
4. You can serve it now, but... it's better left to cool until the following day, then reheated.
I like it with fresh crusty bread and loads of butter.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce and just a pinch of liquorice powder to that. And be really careful with that liquorice powder.
