Something wrong?

Billy’s own special Haggis recipe. (WARNING not for everyone)

So billy found himself cooking over the weekend, and whipped up a batch, so here it is for everyone's pleasure:

Haggis

Ingredients

Sheep's pluck (Heart, liver and lungs)
A pound of beef suet
Four large onions
12 small onions peeled and scalded twice in boiling water
1 pint of oatmeal roasted in the oven at 150 ^OC for two hours
Black Pepper
Salt
Cayenne Pepper
One well-cleaned sheep stomach, soaked in salt water for several hours. The stomach is called the haggis bag.
A half pint of beef gravy

Cooking Method

1.Clean the pluck thoroughly.

2.Make incisions in the heart and liver to allow the blood to flow out.

3.Par-boil the whole pluck, letting the windpipe lie over the side of the pot to allow liquids such as the blood to leave the lungs.

4.After boiling for a few minutes, replace the water with fresh water.

5.Boil for an hour.

6.Remove the pluck and cut off half of the liver. Continue boiling this until it is hard enough to be grated easily.

7.Take the heart, the half liver and part of the lungs. Remove any skin or nasty bits.

8.Mince the above ingredients with the beef-suet and all the onions.

9.Grate the remaining half of the liver and add to the mince.

10.Spread the mince out on a chopping board and spread the oatmeal over the top of it, add black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to taste. Mix well.

11.Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil.

12.Put the meat into the haggis bag and add the beef gravy and lemon juice, if desired). Only fill the bag to half to allow for swelling.

13.Squeeze out the air and sew the haggis bag closed.

14.Place the haggis into the gently boiling water.

15.When the haggis bag begins to swell, prick it all over with a large needle to prevent bursting.

16.Boil haggis for about three hours.

17.Serve, with neeps and tatties, and a shot of your best Scotch whiskey! 

Enjoy!

Fan Club Definition refresher.

From Goolge definition:

A fan club is a group that is dedicated to a well known person, group, idea (such as history) or sometimes even an inanimate object (such as a famous building). Most fan clubs are run by fans that devote considerable time and resources to supporting them. Most fans consider it an honor to meet the object of their adulation and are often stricken silly when they find themselves in the presence of said person or thing.

            en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_club

or another definition from:

         http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-cobuild/fan%20club

A fan club is an organized group of people who all admire the same person or thing, for example a pop singer or pop group. Members of the fan club receive information and can take part in activities such as trips to concerts. Fan club members support their object of admiration unconditionally, even in the face of obvious public scandals.

The answer is 42 - What is the Question?

The answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42, but what is the Ultimate Question. Ask D. A. if the program is still running?

Program Code Block:

#include "douglas.h"

using namespace adams;

int main()

{

void theUltimateQuestion(int Earth, meaning Life, bang Universe, mouse Everything);

int answer = 42;

int secret;

int magic(int &secret);

answer  = *secret;

... // calculations performed by mouse 

cout << "The meaning of life is " << answer << \n; 

return answer;

}

Real programmers don't comment their code. What was hard to write in the first place should be just as hard to understand later on.

Broken cup picture

Wait - something in this picture is broken, literally and metaphorically !

Fan submitted Pics

Some wonderful fans have sent in some pictures of their amazing effort to build a shrine like environment, honoring billy. This is so far out, that you have to see it to believe it. So here are the pictures. Congratulations G and D this is the most fantastic feat of Pod decorating billy has ever seen, although it is hard to find billy in all that decorating. billy welcomes fan pictures and will try to post any that are received.

Pod Space (Headquarters)

Some people call it Barren - billy calls it - Spartan, and conducive to concentration and meditation! This is where he monitors the Club from.

Donations are up!

Some good Samaritan of the anonymous kind has seen fit to respond to the enormously upsetting theft of the ten cent donation, and contribute an equal amount, to make up for that unfortunate affair. The money in the form of two nickels and was found at the bdFC headquarters with a small note attached. Thank you very much, oh, wise and omnipotent being, whom sees fit to grace the Club with such generosity! P.s. Club security is, right now, deciding whether or not to send the note for handwriting analysis. 

The Deadmau5

A couple of late pictures from the Junos of Deadmau5 arriving at the red carpet!

Just for the FANS! Deadmau5 spotted at the Junos. Can we eat now!

Goal thermometer added on the left!

Goal thermometer top is 1 million dollars, current red arrow at 27 cents. The oddly shaped and very rare double bulbed thermometer (twice as much alcohol)! Very attractive I might add. It has a nice shape to it, kind of reminds me of a couple of cherries.

The value of 10 cents

An additional 10 cents was donated yesterday from some adoring fans, however the money seems to have gone missing somewhere in transport to the secret underground safekeeping area. You will notice that the donation amount has not increased any. If any one knows of the whereabouts of this donation or the parties responsible for absconding with the funds, please notify the administrator or crime stoppers. It is especially hurtful in that this extra donation would have meant that the bd family could have eaten dinner last night, as it were the family split a hot dog but had no ketchup to go round. The 10 cents would have provided just enough for that extra little tasty bit that they so relish (formidable, say it in French). Thanks for listening. bd

The "Knob" Members

It has come to billy's attention that some fan club members are calling others "knobs" or "nobs". While this kind of name calling is generally frowned upon, billy says; "Sometimes we hurt, most, the ones we love. In these hectic days, there are times when you just feel run over and lash out at whomever is nearest to you. I see nothing wrong with this as long as there was no malice intended. Indeed it may have brought a much needed smile to the faces of some other members. No foul no harm, lets move on. Now, the use of some other rumored names (which will not be repeated in this post, but you know who you are and what I am referring to) is totally in appropriate, and I believe anyone using them should be fined heavily, very heavily."

One with Shania and me playing dress up. Can't remember the other girls name.

 

The Afterwords!!!!

 

Answers to some fans questions!

I though I'd take some time and try to answer some of the questions from the Guest book.
(Poopie from Holland Landing) the 25 cents was found in the parking lot, I have since found another two pennies. I can’t identify other Fans by name because of privacy issues. (Geri from Aurora) A very special event is planned for October 24 2011. Not to give too much away right now, but it might involve the "Mother Ship" and some members of the Illuminatus (Robbie from To.) There will be personal invitations sent out to all members for the next meeting, soon.

Official Opening

Welcome to the official opening day - "Today" for this Fan Club Site!
