What do you want to know?
I can make up anything and sound knowlegable.

ah but can you make up 3000 words
on Imperialism/Empire being its own downfall?
(, Tue 6 Apr 2010, 15:16, Reply)
We could all help
like when you play consequences

"Imperialism is a concept and a reality of many parts and part of that is DOOM. It's own doom, wrapped in layers of respectability and custard"

OK, next

Custard refers to a number of culinary preparations
involving whipped and cooked milk, sugar and egg yolk mixtures. Custards are typically very rich and thick and have many uses in desserts. Custard bases may also be used for quiches and other savoury foods. As a dessert, it is made from a combination of milk or cream, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla. Sometimes flour, corn starch, or gelatin is added.

However
imperialism is sweeter than custard, but probably not all things considered better for you. It has more in common with a McDonalds than custard in that respect.

Gealtin is made by boiling the bones of animals, in rthe same way glue can be made from horse bones
so what I'm saying is go boil and animal, there's gold in them there hooves!

From this we can acertain that custard itself
acts as a non-newtonian cover for doom-based activities. But outside of this custard cocoon, imperialism finds itself in a world of hurt, attacked from all sides by small ant like creatures intent on its destruction and bumming

speaking of that
I totally fucked up a lemon meringue pie this weekend. I failed at the cornflour + boiling water stage and the whole thing was just a congealed mess. Plus the lemons I used were value lemons so they had no lemony flavour whatsoever. In the end I just picked at the meringue topping over the weekend and then binned the rest. Sad face.

aww man
pudding disasters are the worst disasters.
(, Tue 6 Apr 2010, 15:31, Reply)
I know, it was made worse by the fact
that the meringue was perfect, so it looked delicious, but in reality it just concealed a gelatinous goo pile of blandness.

I did make a toffee apple crumble last week that was fucking amazing. I had to eat it all myself because my other half doesn't like desserts (freak) and I was expecting to feel all "please god, no more" by the end of it, but I just wanted to make another one straight away.

god damn
I need to learn to cook. I hate cooking, but I like pudding

I find puddings to be the hardest thing to cook
so my mrs does those.

I can't cook to save my life
I think I've even built up an immunity to undercooked chicken from when I lived by myself. However, desserts and sweet things are my forte. Except for lemon meringue fucking pie, obviously.

that sucks
lemon meringue pie is totally my favourite

my mum made rhubarb and ginger brulee the other night. I've never tasted anything like it. it was incredible.
(, Tue 6 Apr 2010, 15:34, Reply)
sounds interesting
I'm not a fan of rhubarb though, it's just sour and horrible. Although that's based on a childhood experience of being forced to eat rhubarb crumble gooseberry icecream *shudder*
(, Tue 6 Apr 2010, 15:45, Reply)
it does need a good amount of sweetening
I've only recently started to eat it.

the pudding I mentioned was unbelievable. All 6 of us were astounded by how good it was.

nobody in my family will touch it
after my mother made a rhubarb crumble and my brother commented that it looked like stewed bollocks

haha
that's gross!

rhubarb has never been served again
not even rhubarb and custard sweets.

Although the evidence is all against it,
I disagree with your idea.

Sorry, not 3000 words, but this twitter age has ruined my ability to string two sentances together.

or spell sentence
*zing*
(, Tue 6 Apr 2010, 15:29, Reply)
I don't agree either
it's a discussion question on the gravediggers of Empire being imperialists themselves, but my tutor is a bit of a lefty and I know what he'd mark down (me blathering about external and economic forces)

I'd say it was down to the few remaining Jedi,
the fact that they repeatedly fucked up the Death Stars, and one of them convinced his old man to bung the Emperor down a big shaft.

the cold meds are making me take this answer seriously :(
