Mollenhauer Contrabassoons fo’ me. Period.
I’ve owned two Heckel basoons. Biebrich.
I am now, thank God, the owneeer of a fantastic BMW R1150GS motorcycle. I could not be happier. Literally, even my beloved 26 week pregnant wife sees it. Since I’ve deleted my old posts you can’t see it, but those that know me know that I’ve been riding since I was 11. I LOVE this thing.
I have been and now am playing on bassoon and contrabassoon reeds made in Europe (Italy and Holland and, mostly, Munich – wonder if the guy who makes my reeds also makes the fuel injectors on my motorcycle. Possible?). This is a huge deal. I own the very best bassoon reed making equipment in the known universe and that is _not_ a subjective statement. I have studied this art with the very best bassoonist in this country and I have made reeds for the principal bassoonist of a top five orchestra in the world. But, for my tonal concept and my bassoon I have found that my three suppliers regularly make reeds that I can do _anything_ on. I’m playing more, different, repertoire than I ever thought possible and I think this is due to the quality of these reeds.
I love my Pelikan pen.
My straight razor is made in Sollingen.
I think my Berkenstocks are coming out of the closet soon.
I love things from Germany. They just _work_.

I do believe that you have just sent tripp off into mourning. In fact, I’m not sure that he’ll ever recover completely from this news. Better that he finds out now than later.

what if it was human milk with added cow cream or something? or could you extract the fat from one batch and add it to another batch to make it cheeseable?

Cheese, cheese, cheese! What is it with you people? I’m telling you: ice cream is where it’s at!

Hey, Rachel, give this to Trippy. It will help his depression.

wow! awesome emacs reference. nice design and layout. emacs over vi anyday.
i’m going to throw my hat in with ray: ice cream is where it’s at.

i’m unsure how an emacs cheatsheet will reduce the pain i feel about the possibility of never tasting human cheese, but i vow not to give up on this dream quite yet.
and ice cream is a good backup — but cheese goes with so many things. human cheese pizza, human cheeseburgers, human grilled cheese sandwiches, human cheese and crackers…i could do this all day.
i wonder if keren is onto something with finding a good binding agent?

mac n womancheese, human cheese puffs, human cheese enchiladas, quesadillas, ravioli…if you could overcome the curdling problem and make a soft cheese similar to mozarella, you could have human string cheese. take it with you wherever you go, and when you need a snack, just peel off a chunk- also a great snack for kids.
