Ben, I think its more that whenever I want to write a comment on any website I feel a bit like I'm drunk at a party. I'll get excited and say what I mean but not in the way I mean to say it. Then I'll wake up the next morning and be embarrased. Then I'll have to stay at home for at least the next week and avoid certain bars...
Margaret, when you can roll out a simile like, you have nothing to be afraid of. Please, post more: you write really well.
I've had the odd in-real-life comment about the intimidating degree of erudition in System -- and there are discussions where I feel out of my depth.
But like Sam says, don't fret. Post what you think, with clarity.
Also like Sam says, posting is a way to work out for yourself what you think. I do that all the time with the blog.

Here we go.
So did you ever post the recipe for stuffed turkey with cranberry & orange salsa?

We're back on the "Stories" beat, with a seasonal theme. Share your stories of Christmas past: happy, sad, appalling, amusing, inspiring; at home and abroad; best and worst.

Hey, this is probably my last post (trumpet at dawn), so thanks to you all for your good manners and excellent discussions this year. Thanks Russell for the thoughtful way you approach issues. God Bless.
Thanks Andrew-- I've appreciated your ability in making your arguments. That's what makes the place tick. But is this ... forever?
And am I the only one thinking it can't really be nearly two weeks to Christmas because it feels like it's that time already?

Please, please Russell, pre-cook the chook.
Part of my job is collecting Campylobacter from retail chickens and they're usually pulsating full of it.
Oh, I'm pretty wary about that, don't worry. But the temperature inside the hood and the direct contact with the hotplate do seem to have a remarkable effect on cooking time.

The D-Uke of Hazard!
Wasn't his career tragically cut short by an accident with a hedge-trimmer?

- Get pissed while the chook cooks - if butterflied it will take less than an hour to roast golden brown and crispy under the lid.
This has been a revelation. The butterflied chook cooks better in 45 mins with the hood down than it does in 90 mins in the oven. Some sort of small miracle, I think.
I've also had notable success with halving, parboiling and seasoning red potatoes and finishing them while the chicken reposes.

Speaking of which... what's more suitable for a way gay Friday than Shirley giving Pink a right royal Goldfinger-ing?
Wow. I watched it and I think I'm gay now ...

I was actually thinking that it was Russell's column was a little sneering and condescending.
Really? That certainly wasn't the intention. I was trying to get across that the hysterical people created so much noise around the issue that it was hard to tell who was seriously affected by the spray and to what degree.

Raising army. Buying guns. Reinstalling Linux. Will address your concerns shortly. (In January/February, probably.)
You wouldn't be planning copyright infringement with that counter-culture operating system, would you, sonny?
