    just discovered how easy it is to make quick vegan refried beans! i think i need to make a vegan version of this Jake.

    What do you substitute for the lard- some kind of oil? Also I'm hesitant of the "quick" part of that statement. With the last couple batches I've made I've found the longer I cook them for the better they are.

    I'm confused. Do you have a picture of your tattoo you need help cropping/color balancing or are you asking someone to draw you a rock of ages tattoo using a reference picture that you have? If it's the latter you're best off going to the tattoo artist you want to do the tattoo for you and discussing it with them.

    ego, what ego? you mean like this story from Glenn Danzig Cancels Show Over "Low Ceiling" | CHARTattack:

    "A 15-foot ceiling was apparently not enough to contain Glenn Danzig's tiny frame and immense ego.

    The former Misfits and Samhain frontman is touring in support of his recently released Deth Red Sabaoth studio album and reportedly pulled out a show in Minneapolis at the last minute Tuesday night because... the ceiling was too low.

    According to Michelle Metz, who works at the Cabooze venue where Danzig was supposed to play, he pulled out of the show before the doors were even open, leaving the venue to hand out refunds at the last minute.

    "Frankly I thought it was all about rock 'n' roll. I had no idea it had to do with the fuckin' 15-foot ceilings," Metz told Minneapolis' Citypages. "We lost several thousand dollars we're never gonna recoup, between the hospitality, the ads, the runners, the people to pick up at the airport, the this, the that."

    Metz also said in all her years working at Cabooze no one had ever used that excuse to cancel.

    Other blogs, meanwhile, suggested Danzig pulled out because the stage was too small.

    A Fargo, N.D. radio station asked Danzig why he cancelled his appearance yesterday, and here's what he had to say:

    "Basically, we couldn't do our show there, but we had the other bands play... We tried to make it work, but at the end of the day it was a production call."

    He stated he didn't know why the decision was made, and that the DJ interviewing him would "have to talk to my crew" to find out why.

    But according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Danzig himself made the call.

    Cabooze booker Jason Aukes told the newspaper Danzig walked out the door 30 seconds after arriving, saying simply, "I can't play here."

    "I don't know where he was coming from with the ceiling thing," Metz told Citypages. "He's too old to do gymnastics; I didn't get it. I can't even wrap my head around it. It's so convoluted."

    Maybe Danzig should just stay home with his cat."

    I remember when one of the first guys who did this sold himself as advertising space on ebay around 2001, he got at least $50K or so, and the advertiser also had to pay for the laser removal after one year. I remember one guy did his forearm, another the back of his head, but they both had the good sense (?) to only commit to one year. I think both of those ads were for software companies. Bummer for this guy and his lower-rent face, all these sites seem to have jacking off in common.

    In the interest of getting my facts straight, I tried to do some google research, but I've lost interest now that my husband's put on the first (good) Star Wars. The earliest mention I could find was 2005, but I know it was going on earlier because I know where I lived when I was watching the auctions on ebay. Here's one article I found:

    K, Luke's shopping for droids with his uncle, gotta go, there's R2D2 and C3PO.....

    wow Dari I had no idea there were other turds stupid enough to brand their face for a mere 4 or 5 figures.

    To think this lady only got $10,000 for this forehead rocker is absurd.

    I'm currently having a love affair with Gather in Berkeley.

    http://www.gatherrestaurant.com/

    Hey Dari- that's the sister restaurant of the catering company I work for. Same owners. The food is SO GOOD! MMMMM. Bringing leftovers home from work rules. For the carnivores out there the charcuterie is really good from there.

    For all you vegan folk Saturn Cafe opened right across the street from Gather too and is good easy vegan/vegetarian diner food near UC Berkeley.
