And why is a "Jew" asking about clam chowder of any variety? How would he know?
I know I don't know about any clam chowder. It's not kosher. You know?
The Duck stated he has a disdain for
Mayonaise.
I am an American and familiar with a variety of cuisine. I am not very religious in general.
I am Jewish unlike Ren who is a practicing member of the death cult
of Trotsky.

Now you have to answer Beak's questions.
Gee Beak!
Ask him something he can answer....
Sponge Bob or Hanna Montana?
Depends or adult sized Pampers?
Viagra or Cialis?
Very poor showing Jen. Chaplin over the greatest genius in the American cinema, Buster Keaton is a fail.
1) What is behind your dislike of Mayonaise?
Why ingest fat for no good reason?
2) Which actress is more competent Farah Fawcett or Sandra Bullock
Bullock has some talent. Neither is in Bibi Anderson's league.
3) Do you even know what so called Boston Style mustard is? Compare and contrast it to New York Deli Mustard?
I know that anything Bostonian is superior to New York.
4) Did you watch the Partridge Family?
Very rarely.
5) Who is better Abbott & Costello or Martin & Lewis?
Abbott & Costello if only for the "Who's On First Routine"
6) Why is Bernadette Peters famous?
Got me, she can't act and she can't sing but she tried both.
7) Name three Country and Western songs?
"Long Black Veil" (Lefty's version is still best)
"Wreck on the Highway"
I've Cried a Mile" (Hank Snow rules)
8) Name one NASCAR driver?
Jimmy Johnson?
9) What condiment is commonly served with Bufalo Wings?
Blue Cheese dressing. More artery cloggers.
10) What color is Manhatan Clam Chowder?
Red, New Yorkers can't make a good chowder. Tomatoes? Bleep that.
11) What TV Show featured a character known as Aagarn?
Don't know
12) What is the name of Homer Simpson's boss?
Mr. Burns the freakin' running dog capitalist imperialist.
13) What Red Sox player was commonly known as "space man"?
Ask Mickey Rivers, he'd know. Really is this your idea of a stumper?
14) Name any book written by James Mitchner?
Hawaii
15) Did John Wayne ever star in a work of Arthur Miller or Eugene Oneil?
I believe he did an early silent adoption of The Ice Man Cometh. It's very obscure.
16) Did you see the film Superfly?
No
17) Who was Bullwinkle's side kick?
Bullwinkle was Rocky's sidekick.
18) The spokesman for Wendy's is?
Never eat there.
19) What is a cherry lime rickey?
A fountain drink, lime juice, seltzer, syrup of your choice. You go to Colleen's in Medford Square and get a raspberry lime rickey like the rest of the civilized world.
20) Name any two films with Telly Savalas?
The Dirty Dozen and one other.
21) Who is Simon Templar?
The Saint.
22) Which actor has more talent Michael Caine or Robert Redford and why?
I have to give it to Caine on range. He has been solid playing comedy, action or drama. His best is "Get Carter".
Redford burned out early and took very boring roles. "Downhill Racer" was easily his best. I really didn't see much in Butch Cassidy.
23) Who lived next door to Archie Bunker?
Lionel Jefferson
24) Name any two sitcoms with Bill Bixby?
My Favorite Martian, The Incredible Hulk
25) Name two Beatles songs?

Tony Randall and Jack Klugman
28) What cereal uses Toucan Sam as its mascot?
Fruit Loops
29) Who wrote the Winds of War
Herman Wouk
30) Name any of Tom Cruises current or former wives
The little slave he converted to Scientology, Katie Bimbo is it?
Viagra, Warren? Little projection there Mr. No Performo?
Trick question, Beak. The film version was Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
Nostradumbass,
Thank you for worrying about my equipment. I just figured that a misogynist, such as you, might have physical reasons for their... ummm ... affliction.
So which do you use before a hot date with Rosy Palm and the finger sisters? (or is it Opalma and the digit bros?)
Warren, I laughed out loud...excellent questions.
Ducky, what are you, Jewish? You answered all the questions with questions:-)
There IS no mayonnaise but Best Foods.
The Lives of Others, Jen, is one of my very favorite films...sublime.
Buster Keaton bores the @(#*&(@#*& out of me. Chaplin does not.
I am SO not fond of silent films....TCM has them every Sunday night for those who are fond of them.
Red chowder's inedible to me. I have to admit it's healthier, but ptui!!
What does everybody see in Bullock? Not to be unkind, but geeesh.
What is Boston style mustard? Darker brown?
this is fun. Warren cracks me UP.
The Lives of Others? I said East German New Wave, you know, the DEFA output before the crackdown (well of course you don't, I'm being generous), Born in '45, The Rabbit Is Me.
Buster Keaton bores you, hmmm. He's the father of film special effects, check out Sherlock Jr., my guess is you haven't seen any of his films.
Don't like silents? Does that include Lang, Feuillade, Pabst (Cue Warren, 1 ... 2...). The average American can't deal with long MSL's so I would think the relatively rapid editing in silents, especially the Russians would interest you.
I much prefer to let you step in it.
(Or on it, as the case may be.)
Beak, I'm really hurt that you wouldn't answer any of my questions.
Let's try again.
What do you think of the new Turkish cinema and its use of very long ASL's?
I'm not trying to be difficult but it's just that folks like yourself and Warren make a lot of comments about foreign cultures without demonstrating you know your ass from your elbow.
Dear idiot child, (That would be you, Nostradumbass.)
"I'm not trying to be difficult but it's just that folks like yourself and Warren make a lot of comments about foreign cultures without demonstrating you know your ass from your elbow."
No, you're not trying to be difficult, you're just trying to be witty and you're only half way there.
Please provide a link to one of those "comments" I supposedly "frequently make". Your experience with "foreign cultures", seems to be when you leave some leftist, shit hole, fantasy world, to visit the real world!
