Eat BLTs!

The Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato is one of the best sandwiches. Commonly known as the BLT, it's history is older than you think.

Starting shortly before 1900,  the BLT evolved out of the Tea Sandiwhces in England. That's right, the British created delicious food. I hadn't even realized that. It is currently one of the most popular sandwiches both in the United States and the United Kingdom, enjoyed by all social classes. The sandwich's popularity has led to a number of oversized reproductions (the current record for the "world's largest BLT" is over 209 ft/64 m) and a pop art sculpture by Claes Oldenburg.

Since all social classes enjoy the BLT, it is also a classless sandwich, meaning it can promote a Socialist Agenda! Look out America, Socialism is in your sandwich! Ironically, a lot of rednecks refer to bacon as a 'Merican thing.

My favorite BLT variation is the BATA. Bacon, Arugula, Tomato, and Avocado. The creamy avocado brings the bacon and arugula nicely together, and the tomato gives it an added juice to the sandwich. I generally think of lettuce as a flavorless food, one with no independent taste, relying on the other foods it is always served with. Arugula is flavorful, healthier, and god damn yummy. Then for bread, you can use almost any bread, but i prefer a nice rye bread, adding more flavor. Then to coat this bread with a very thin layer of Miracle Whip with a dash of Tabasco hot sauce, or if you happen to have it, Bacon Hot Sauce. Yes that's right, it exists. Google it. Now. Now you know how to put together a sandwich don't you? Good. The bacon you should have for this should be cooked by whatver means you want, although I prefer it traditional, on my frying pan. Use thick cut bacon, preferably peppered, never EVER use cheap smoke-injected bacon, it just isn't the same.

Now once you have cooked the bacon, you can have the sandwich. Serve with a soda, tea, coffee, beer, wine, any drink you want! Hell even have a bacon Martini with it. You can look that one up yourself, as I don't drink alcohol. I love a nice cold root beer from a glass bottle with my BATA or BLT, next to some Lightly Salted potato chips.

MUSIC

Alright our first Music post. i THOUGHT TO GET US STARTED, WE'D KICK OFF WITH AN UNDERGROUND TRANCE SONG. Sorry about the caps lock there. I don't feel like going back and changing that. So deal with it. ANyways, this track is from SpinninRec, one of my favorite sources of trance and club. This song is by Peter Gelderblom, featuring nice piano, along with a disco-like beat. The song also features vocals by Dominica. It has received positive statements from David Guetta, Steve Aoki, and Axwell. The song is out no on Beatport!

Attitudes towards Socialists

Have you ever been angry to have people automatically assume that you are a Stalinist dictator because you happen to like Socialism? I have. I am sick of it. I thought about it a while, and I think the we can blame the Soviet Union and Richard Nixon-style Republicans. They demonized even the slightest socialist-leaning person into a threat. The Hammer and Sickle need to be claimed as socialist symbols of hard work and sacrifice, which is ironic because the Right-wing nowadays wants us to believe they are the ones for the common man. What is needed is a Socialist Party that wouldn't take bribes from special interest groups like corporations or the Koch Brothers. Things would be so much nicer without corporate lobbying.

Socialism- a rant

Personally, I hate it when the far right considers anything more than far right socialist. They yelled and screamed at "Obamacare" but it was modelled afte Mitt Romney, a republican. They say Reagan was great, but he raised taxes several times and increased the size of the government. If Reagan were in the spotlight today, he'd be labeled as far left-socialist-fascist-muslim-nazi. Now many people say I am uncompromising. I am willing to compromise, but both sides have to. The far right wants nothing to do with Obama. He thinks he can do the right things and then they'll like him. They will never like him. Why? Because they never work with him, they want him to be a one term president. They even once said that was their one and only goal. They don;t care about jobs, health, environment, welfare, education, infrastructure, all they care about is their freaking wallets. They are in the pockets of corporations. Now so are a lot of democrats. Which is why I am a Socialist. Socialists can work through Democratic means and care for the people. Not corporations, which personally I think are the scum of humanity, or at least most of them. Google, Apple, and Microsoft are excluded. Google supports a wind farm off the east coast, Apple is working to make it's products more Environmentally safe, and Microsoft's former CEO, Bill Gates, has pledged huge monetary donations to charity. But caring for poor people is socialism according to "Tea Party Activists". Thats what the left needs. A far left, far radical group of lunatics to say, oh you want to ban gay marriage, fine, gay marriage should be the only legal form of marriage.

Sorry about the lul

Wel sorry about the 1+ Month lul. Been really busy on Nationstates. So that's been my summer. But I have managed to find some cool stuff about bacon:
1. Bacon Mayo go to it. NOW
2. Bacon Scarve Outrageously priced, but cool. Now us hipsters can wear bacon scarves for when it's bacon season, whihc is year round. Unless you are the vegetarian hipster. Ew...

Since there is nothing to say...
I decided to use this post to talk about the history of hammers. Why? Why the hell not? It is somewhat relevant, as it is used in the symbol of Communism, and it is also used as an unorthodox method for killing pigs. Lets start:


Early History
The hammer started at least in 2,400,000 BCE when various shaped stones were used to strike wood, bone, or other stones to break them apart and shape them. Stones attached to sticks with strips of leather or animal sinew were being used as hammers by about 30,000 BCE. Its archeological record means it is perhaps the oldest human tool known. 
Design
Most hammers now contain a grip, usually rubber or leather, on top of a wooden or metal handle, with the claw and flat end on top.

Specialized hammers of many types were made for particular jobs. Different sizes and designs suited them for tasks ranging from delicately driving in brads to secure small moldings to pounding home the large wooden pegs used to hold together building and ship frames.

Claw hammers were common. Like many hammers, they were dual-purpose tools. The face was used to drive nails, while the claw was used to pull them.

The peens of riveting hammers were used to spread the ends of rivets or to drive brads in tight spaces.

Coopers' adzes had an adze blade on one side and a hammer head for driving hoops on the other.

Shipbuilders' pin mauls were used to drive and countersink spikes and wooden pins.

Upholsters' hammers had long heads and claws for driving and pulling tacks in hard-to-reach places.

Lathing hammers had a blade for splitting and cutting lath (wooden strips over which plaster was laid) and a hammer for nailing it into place.

Mallets and Clubs: Wooden hammers were used to strike tools such as froes, wedges, or chisels that would be damaged if hit with a metal hammer. They also were used to drive wooden joints together. Small wooden hammers were called mallets. Larger ones were called clubs, mauls, or beetles.

Sorry bout the break. Couldn't anything good, had NS, and so busy on Buzz and IRL. I will post something when i find something, or mayber YOU OTHER CONTRIBUTORS CAN DO SOMETHING!
