Perhaps known better for his explosive temper in the kitchen than for his plethora of successful shows, restaurants, and numerous cookbooks, this man has more tv time than the entire cast of every Law and Order. He is Gordon Ramsay and he won't tolerate your stupidity.

Good rants, good raves
If you ever find yourself on one of his shows, you'd better damn well know how to cook a perfect risotto, here is a recipe found on Food.com.  Learn it, or "get out of my kitchen you stupid cow!!"

Gordon Ramsay's Tomato and Mushroom Risotto

Prep Time: 10 mins | Total Time: 55 mins

Directions:  


  1. In a large saucepan sauté the shallots with the olive oil for about 3 to 4 minutes and then add the mushrooms and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently until softened.
  2. Stir in the rice and cook for another minute or two. Add the wine, stir and cook until absorbed. Pour in a quarter of the chicken broth, bring to a boil and cook until absorbed, stirring frequently.
  3. Gradually stir in the rest of the broth over a period of about 15 minutes, adding more as each previous amount is absorbed. This helps to give you a creamy risotto.
  4. When the rice is al dente, mix in the tomatoes and herbs. Check the seasoning and stir in the cheeses. Serve in warmed bowls topped with shaved aged Parmesan.

How have I gone this long without bringing in the roundhouse master? If there is anyone out there who's cult status has made him mightier than a diety, it is Chuck Norris. Legen - wait for it ...dary.

Good fists, good facts
Plus this brings in the first time someone's been nice to you here.  You're welcome.  Here's your prize:
  • Darwin Award Winner 2010: The guy who said that "Chuck Norris is too old and past his best". He was found dead with roundhouse kick related injuries.
  • Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird.
  • Scientifically speaking, it is impossible to charge Chuck Norris with "obstruction of justice." This is because even Chuck Norris cannot be in two places at the same time.
  • Jesus follows Chuck Norris on Twitter
  • Nostradamus predicted that Chuck Norris would get allergic to dust by 2012. That explains everything.
  • Chuck Norris is always on time...yet somehow arrives fashionably late. 
  • Chuck Norris' first job was as a paperboy. There were no survivors.
See the full list @:  Chuck Norris Facts Plus, here you can even buy a custom Chuck Norris t-shirt.  I got mine, it lets the world know: The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

I'm not gonna hold a gun to your head, but I will argue that he is one of, if not the best actor of our time. He played the punk, the vampire, the godfather of a wizard, the drug dealer, and among other things, he played fucking Ludwig Van, although in one role he looooves Mozart, but gets bored with Beethoven. But he always morphs, and is the immortal camelion. Brilliant.

Good Ludwig, good punk
