When one is kicked out of the kitchen ones momentum and position are orthogonal parameters. The extent that one knows one is the extent that one cannot know the other.

It's complicated, but if one has ever been kicked out of a kitchen, or some other room, one can understand the concept. With respect to kitchens, it's the Julia Child Uncertainty Principle.

In other words, regardless of momentum or position, your ass is out of the kitchen.

Bon appetite!

Mon Jun 2, 2014, 02:10 PM

It really gets messed up when one has to consider the energy of getting kicked out of the kitchen as opposed to when one got kicked out. Not even Julia Child can help with that. That is called Emeril uncertainty and is summarized as...

BAM!! BAM!! Your ass is out of the kitchen right now (however with hopelessly indeterminate energy).

As I said earlier, it's complicated.

I know all about lutefisk. It reminds me--I spent 5 years on the Iron Range one winter, and an old-timer told me about the time a family of skunks moved in under his front porch in Hibbing. He threw lutefisk under there to drive them out. The skunks left in short order, but he soon developed another problem. A bunch of Norwegians moved in under the porch.

Very funny. My mother was Suomilainen; my father was Norwegian.

My mother always said that a dumb Suomilainen was the same thing as a smart Norwegian.

My father would respond with a short verse:
Ten thousand Swedes marched through the weeds to lick one sick Norwegian.

All true.

Upon the Lillehammer Olympics in 1994, the Norwegians published a Scandinavian map with Sweden replaced by ocean. Also all true. (But they make such good drama.).

From Bon Jovi's official Twitter site:

https://twitter.com/BonJovi/status/473111884099772416

Yesterday, my wife sustained a minor hand injury due 2 a piece of broken glass. Thank u NYC 911, NYFD EMT & Beth Israel Hospital staff! - JBJ


Of course, a "minor" hand injury requires neither a call to 911 nor a trip to the hospital. But she reportedly received stitches, was released a few hours later, and was seen dining out with her husband the very next evening.

That's bizarre. Holy overreaction batman.


When my daughter had a pull down, wall mounted map fall on her head at school, they kept her at school until I showed up (10 min later) to take her to the ER to get stitches. She also had a slight concussion. No 911 or EMT needed. What a waste of resources!

and an ice pack! The school claimed he left on his own -- he must have gotten the ice by stopping off at the local strip joint.

Since Jon's wife reportedly ended up with stitches to her palm, they probably called 911 because she was bleeding uncontrollably.

In general, modern contexts, the term Cur is a slang term for mongrel dogs with a distinct negative connotation.

Originally, however, the word "cur" referred to a certain British purpose-bred, short-tailed cattle droving dog known only from historical records, the cur dog.[1]:459–460

Among dog experts, "curs" are any of several closely related North American purpose-bred treeing hounds, some of which have since achieved breed recognition.[2]
