I'm cool with any course of action that leads to more shepherd's pie.

If it's shepherd's pie, why does it have beef in it? Shouldn't it have lamb?

 
Jimmy Devil Rocket Science 2009-01-03 04:39:22 PM  
Banning cell phones from restaurants is actually a pretty farking good idea.

Never eat your own product, yo. That's how you lose profits!

I predict there will be a resurgence of bartenders serving shepherd's pie to depressed clowns in cellphone-free restaurants.

Yep. Lamb = shepherd's pie, beef = cottage pie.

Shepherd's pie = lamb. Cottage pie = beef.

Damn.

Has anyone checked the accuracy of the predictions Kreskin made for 2008?

/Just curious.

More pie?

Don't tell Bennigan's or Applebee's or [insert name of chain restaurant here]. But, then again, they're probably not even using beef in their "shepherd's pie".

Kreskin could just be the biggest joke in the entertainment industry.

bartenders as rapists?

 
Fakutu 2009-01-03 04:53:08 PM  
Kreskin really is amazing. I wanted to get in before the skeptics cuz I truly believe he is the real deal. It's just too bad he learned long ago not to make public predictions about serious or controversial subjects.

/love me some shiatbird pie!

That's just pulling from the idea that Charlie Chaplin was at the height of his fame during the great depression. Laughs are cheaper than even sex as a form of entertainment value

For some reason, this made me think of three McDonald's beef patties topped with instant mashed potato, and that caused me to throw up in my mouth a little.

In part, I say that in jest.

I met him at a comedy club in Macon, Ga. in 1990. Including him, the bartender, the DJ, there were 6 of us there. He was different, that's for sure. About 15 minutes into his act, he looked at us and said, "F*ck it. Ya'll just wanna get drunk instead?" I'll tell you, when he's not "on," he's a friggin' riot to be with. The DJ, who went on to become one of middle Georgia's most popular radio personalities, let the three ladies pick/play whatever they wanted while we proceeded to get HAMMER-ererer-ed. Nobody showed up for the second show that night... that's when we learned how much (vodka, i think it was) that boy could drink. Holy cow! We showed up again the next night to find the place empty, again, and enjoyed an encore of the previous evening.

His star rose quickly after that, but whenever he'd roll through town, he'd still hang out with us after-hours. His schtick can be funny, but the real comedy happens when he gets the right crowd in front of him and begins interacting with them. He's a clown alright, but his prop-routine gets old... fast.

I think that's a euphemism for masturbation.

Maybe he means this clown. (new window)

No, it has shepherd.

I've continue to be wrong when I think that the man is dead.

Of course, its entirely possibly that he is, but hasn't been able to figure it out yet.

Aarontology: I'm cool with any course of action that leads to more shepherd's pie.

Shepherd's pie is the shizzle. My wife really does it well, too---when I come home from work, there's a heaping pile of shepherd's pie on the plate at the table, a frothy pint of a good german beer, and a blowjob as I eat.

/almost

"...increase in the popularity of shepherd's pie, but please, put `shepherd's pie` in quotes."

Consider it done.

OMG. These are the kinds of clowns that cause phobias. And nightmares.

Dammit, now I'm hungry for shepherd's pie.

 
DosMas 2009-01-03 08:49:33 PM  
My favorite local Irish pub Rula Bula cooks a mean shepherd's pie, and the bartenders there have been prescribing me liquid therapy for years. I hope he is right about everything but the clowns.

It should have shepherds in it.

Bizarre. My wife just made a shepherd's pie tonight.

Until Oprah or Obama weighs in on this I remain skeptical. All "pie in the sky" predictions until then.

\All for the Shepherd pie though.

Bunny Deville 2009-01-03 11:57:50 PM  
I make a mean shepherd's pie, but with lentils instead of beef, because that's the first recipe I found when I went looking for shepherd's pie recipes.


Anyway, if you season the lentils with plenty of cumin, it's farking good.

 
Cosmic Crab 2009-01-04 12:34:33 AM  
Is it made of real shepherds?

 
Stealthdozer 2009-01-04 01:14:12 AM  
I like shepherd's pie.

Carry on.

 
doobiebrother 2009-01-04 01:23:38 AM  
season your lentils with lots of cum in?
i just threw up in my wife's mouth a little...

quick recipe;
boil some potatoes in salted water,
if you cut them up small, they won't take long,
while they're cooking, brown some meat (any meat)
and onions in a skillet, (add any veg you like)
when the meat/onion thing is cooked, throw some
peas, fresh or frozen, in there and stir.
your potatoes should be done now.
mash them with cream/milk/butter/sour cream/cum in,
until it's a paste you can spread, (cum in?)
put the meat/onion/veg mix in an oven dish,
now for my secret, get some gravy mix (bisto powder)
and drizzle on your meat (cum in?)
spread the potato paste on top.
top with cheese (provolone is muy bueno)
cook in a hot (400 degree) oven until the cheese
has nice crispy brown bits of carcinogens on it.
try not to burn your tongue on it.
shouldn't take more than an hour from preparation
to digestion.

Did not read the article or any of the posts above. Just came here to say "Fark clowns." There isn't a more useless or grotesque noun on the planet than a farking clown.

That is all.

 
Gigwave 2009-01-04 04:49:57 PM  
I wanted Shepherd's pie until I remembered having some where the potatoes were switched with Cauliflower. Farking diet food crap.

I've actually seen Kreskin live and in person a couple of times 20-30 years ago. People need to realize that he has never claimed to be a psychic. He calls himself a mentalist. There is a distiction. He speaks of using his mind, as opposed to getting feelings, impressions, or visions. All I can say is that he seemed to be genuine when I saw him.
