Thread Name: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
I've been poking around at a kind of goofy social media site called mahalo. It's like a poor man's wikipedia, except they pay with pocket change for popular answers, and I am not convinced that it is worth more than a good blog essay, then I'll move on.

I answered a question today about how to cook a chicken, because the first person who answered it was so non-specific. She said 20 to 40 minutes to cook a chicken. What kind of chicken, a baby chick? You can't do a big bird in that short a time. Anyway, I answered with more information on size, time, type of container, type of oven, etc. She answered back that "in 30 years of cooking" blah blah blah. I still don't want to eat at her house if she's undercooking her birds that way.

I'm maintaining the high moral ground on all answers, not picking fights, not offering the coups de grace (or however it is spelled) when someone else fucks up and is just waiting to be knocked off. It's not a place to spend much time if you actually want to earn any real dollars (they pay off in their own dollars, and they scalp 25% off the top for their share).

MOM would be so proud of me. Finally earning a little pocket change. Maybe.
