1 am and casual Friday is already up.
Who has a smoother complexion than Joanne?
Why is that guy so tall? Was he wearing stilts or was he just glad to hang out with Joanne?
Will we ever see a Hangover Saturday?
Don’t beards collect dust mites?
Is it true that Davidjr is actually a pimp and a really nice guy at the same time?
(today’s comment in the form of a question)
Is it true I was there that day and saw you guys walking by?
Can we tune in next week for Casual Monday and get the answers to all those questions? What exactly does Davidjr do? Was this a good format for the show?
What do you imagine when you hear “the world’s longest lei”? Well, it’s not THAT! Did our friend Kam have something to do with this?
Rumor has it that RBoomers have a great weekend; is that true? Cheers!
It is true that I was at the exact place of the video - 19 years ago. Gulp.
B-Man - Children have smoother complexions, but I do admit Joanne is superb especially with the soft focus used in the shoot. And not to disappoint you, Joanne is a shortie and that why talls (like myself)appear as giants. And as far as beards (thass me too) it’s not the dust mites that are a problem it’s the fleas and other nesting creatures that live in it.
Thanks for the episode, proves once again that even if NYC’s streets are paved with gold that things like the Union Square market still exist. And now I’ll have to add this episode to my phone.
The belt buckle was larger when they first met, in her memory.
(Nah, too easy.)
He actually said “sorry” when he brushed up against someone. F*cking tourist.
Seriously, I like this guy. And, he seems to be having a lot of fun.

1-pound Brussels sprouts
1 Tablespoon best-quality olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
1/4 cup water
Wash the sprouts by stirring them around vigorously in a sinkful of ice-cold water, fish them out onto a dish towel and blot them dry. Really, really dry. Use a second dry towel if necessary.
Stab the root end of each sprout with a sharp paring knife to keep them from splitting and to even out the cooking of the insides and the outsides.
(Or, if the mood hits you, grab a chef’s knife and chop each sprout in half. This speeds things up and makes them a bit easier to manage in the pan.)
Heat the oil on high heat in a big, heavy skillet with a tight-fitting lid. (If you’re using a nonstick pan reduce the heat to medium and rethink the choices you’ve made in life to date.)
When the oil is just about to smoke (shimmering and looking a bit wispy) toss in the sprouts, which should produce a very gratifying sizzle.
Stir-fry the sprouts, coating them evenly with the oil, until they turn bright green and the edges start to brown just a bit.
Now for the tricky part. Be careful.
Season with salt and pepper and, with the lid in one hand ready to drop, pour the water directly over the sprouts. Cover instantaneously, and watch out that the steam and spitting oil don’t get you.
(The vaporizing water will “kick start” the moisture deep in the sprouts to start turning to steam as well.)
After 1 minute reduce the heat to medium. After 3 more minutes, check for doneness: a sharp knife should slide pretty much straight through. Steam a minute or two more if need be. Add a dash more water — again observing reasonable safety precautions — if the sprouts look desperately dry.
Personally I like to dust the finished sprouts with a little Reggiano cheese.
There’s a variation of this method that involves bacon, but I suspect JC wouldn’t be into that.
Have you tried using avocado oil instead of olive; especially when the oil requires heating? Olive oil breaks down when heated and loses its nutrient value but avocado oil doesn’t. There is this guy we both know in Hawaii who may back this up! Now where did my wife put the Reggiano cheese? Hmmm, how about a CheezWhiz substitute? I think NOT!!
I prefer massage oil myself. How about you Joanne?
Almond oil can be used for both, which is helpful when the evening takes an unexpected twist, either way.
C-C, I am an avocado-oil virgin, but I’ll keep my eyes out.
Funny, I can’t remember ever being an avocado-oil virgin, or any other virgin, for that matter. Like my punctuation leron?
I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for any chick who hyphenates adjectival phrases. I’m even willing to overlook the questionable aversion to commas. And that whole getting-disinherited thing.
The disinheritance stories are just paparazzi journalists on doo-doo watch.
My parents love me unconditonally.
Well, I found some in my local whole-foods grocery (no, not the big ugly chain with the similar name and the psycho CEO). They want $18 for 20 ounces. Owtch! But what the hell, I’d only fritter away the money on food, clothing, shelter and buying foo-foo drinks for heiresses.
How does the taste compare to olive oil?
I only do olives—in martinis.
Does Joanne have a secret she’s not sharing?

Why?
What?
Who?
When?
How?
Answers are for the uneducated.
I personally get up in the morning and say “This is Rocketboom.” Mrs. SonomaDave gets a bit confused and sometimes sprays on the drapery.
I loled.
Humourous concept. Fun to watch. Please… Continue…
heh. Can I have 3:53 min with you Joan? :)
I wouldn’t be surprised if Joanne was abducted by aliens. Who wouldn’t? LOL
Anyways neither of them were answering half of each other’s questions…
I really do prefer the rocketboom stuff that babbles on about multiple random things. I miss those.
Hey JOANNE what music do you listen to? I know british people tend to like the opera stuff but thats just stereotype.
A man with one watch knows what time it is; a man with two watches is never quite sure. ~Lee Segall
11. at or to an advanced time, period, or stage: The flowers keep their blossoms late in warm climates.
This however begs the consideration: Why do the educated then ask questions in the first place?
Is it because they’re smart enough to ask?
This leads to a paradox: If they are smart enough to ask, they’d surely expect an answer, but you said answers are for the undeducated. If they don’t expect an answer it leads to the question in my first response… the mysteries of every-day life.
Are you sure that I’m not the one asking you questions because I know all of the answers and I want to see if you are uneducated?
:)
you are in grades
I like you guys…
What are you trying to pull?
these two have good chemistry
Interesting…but…cool… :)
Is this in anyway related to that scene from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead? I feel stupid bringing up that play at all, but I thought that question game thing seemed pretty fun
Loved it. Questions are always wise, answers often inadvertent lies.
You’re just crazy, Joanne. No, seriously. :P
nice edit
I know I can’t sing, I tried… but this girl can. We party-ed a few weekends ago and she’s got a killer voice. Check her out, drop her a line. She’s my new hottie.

Only because where I’m staying the contract for fire extinguishers went to Fahrenheit 451 INC.
haha i love the raw joanne footage. this is unfiltered joanne and i am all over it. hahaha
sometimes im really funny
I wonder if Microsoft will ever come out with an app that could *create* (i.e., “assemble”) such a video by pasting together snapshots from people who took photos somewhere in the vicinity.

What did Joanne do in TV?
Oh yes the joys of himeytown - ick! It’s like a rose floating in a pissbowl this chick. Go back 2 the U.K. - U don’t belong with this trash ~;)
yeesh he doesn’t even bother 2 shave - 2 busy shoving cheeseburgers down his throat I wager.
