Suzanne F Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 But who is the dingbat in this case? I was thinking me for being oblivious. Well, since I'm in the same boat, I have to disagree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid1 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Dingbat editing in the Time Out New York book pages this week. Page 56: "This allows Waugh to focus on Ludwig [Wittgenstein], whose possible homosexual tendencies are a mere footnote to his deeper flightiness..." Yes, flighty character Wittgenstein. And possible homosexual tendencies? Meanwhile on page 55, "Wittgenstein's excitement at being in the company of young men is a long story..." Yes, yes it is. The latter, from an interview with Simon Critchley, whose new book consists of 190 chronologically arranged accounts of how famous philosophers died. I can only assume he hasn't read David Markson's This is Not a Novel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
splinky Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 okay, so for 2 days there has been this strong oniony smell in my kitchen near the sink. i emptied the trash and cleaned the area, still the odor lingered. i emptied the onion bin and checked each onion but they were all fine. i dumped baking soda and lemon juice down the sink in hopes of deodorizing the drain. still the smell lingered. i started to suspect my arch nemesis the dishwasher and wondered if some food had gotten trapped in the grinder or the waste pipe. before i set out to dismantle the plumbing, i searched the base cabinets, one last time. i pull my reserve of empty grocery bags out of the cabinet and low and behold i find the oldest, stinkiest, moldiest, rotten onion that had been accidentally left behind in a bag. will the onion smell ever go away?

Lex Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Pour a cup of ammonia back there. Presto. You won't smell the onion at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
g.johnson Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Then, to remove the ammonia smell, pour on hydrochloric acid. Dilute will be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gavin Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Chainsaw? Nah. Bubble it through with a leaf blower for efficient mixing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
g.johnson Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Chainsaw? Nah. Bubble it through with a leaf blower for efficient mixing. Preferably in a big pan on high. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
