That's too bad. The only time I've made scampi "sauce" it involved
butter, S&P and garlic, white wine and a splash of lemon juice.

My neighbor keeps making scampi, and giving me the leftovers. I hate it. It is always too oily and has insufficient seasoning.

Your ignorance proceeds you. I have had several mentors - all of them have been
haoles. Unfortunately, most of them are dead. Heck, I grew up with haoles - you
silly boy. Your dreams of Hawaiian intolerance is a fantasy. I'm not saying that
some Hawaiians don't care for haoles or Americans, what I'm saying is that skin
color is the foremost on your mind. You must have had quite a sheltered, fearful,
upbringing. I didn't. That's the breaks.

When Italian restaurants started serving Scampi alla Griglia, they
couldn't get _Nephrops norvegicus_, so they substituted whatever
shrimp they could get on the "it's close enough and tastes good"
principle.
Americans found the full name of the dish too difficult to pronounce,
so they shortened it to "Scampi" when ordering. Via synecdoche,
the word came to represent the whole. Or anything in a sauce of
garlic, butter, and wine.

It's strange stupidity. "Let's use an Italian word for an animal,
except we'll use it for another animal." And not just in one
restaurant, no nation-wide.
Last night I had Scampi meatloaf.

They should have changed the name of the dish since the main

don't even know it.

You posit that Popeye was a dominant figure in his cyber life here?

I didn't posit that and I wouldn't call him dominant, but definitely standout.

I didn't have problems with uncle because he was not in control of his brain.
My diagnosis was that he had a disinhibition disorder caused by a brain injury.

I think it's her bitchiness that makes her sound like a man or a butch
woman.
She's the goldfish of RFC: she drops by and throws some nasty comments around, comes back 4 days later and has forgotten all about what was
said before. So she throws new nasty comments around and leaves again
for a couple of days.
Rinse and repeat.

I used to think of him as a guy that was trying to play a character that
he thought was funny. I didn't think the character was funny but I never took him seriously. He could ride people but tended to limit that to
those who would not fight back. He could be quite insisted about
cooking ingredients and techniques but it was important to determine if
it was his alleged experience or if he was quoting a reliable source
because most of his advice was BS.
What's the problem? We agree, except we have a different theory about
the cause of his mental decline. I think it was dementia. You think he
had a stroke or an alien took possession of his brain.

I distinctly remember him making a post that was almost word for word
of a post he had made a very few days before things took a turn for
the worse. I wish I could remember exactly what it was, but it stuck
in my mind. Then shortly afterward he had fallen and said he had lain
on the floor for four days as his wife was away visiting friends/relatives.
She would not leave him for that extended period of time, more like
she was gone for four hours. But in his mind, it was four days and
soon after he went into assisted living as he would have no part-time >caregiver coming to the house. I /think/ he was averse to using a

He may have ended up with dementia;
but dementia is not the explanation for his character.

yesterday. She was about 16-17 years older than me. We didn't get
along from the time I was 5 or 6 years old. At our sister's memorial
service a few years ago, I said, "Hi, Janet." She answered with a
snotty, "Oh, hi, Bryan." Hey, at least she wasn't fake nice. She and
our other brother didn't speak to one another at all for over 35
years. My niece posted an obit of sorts to FB that was pretty
accurate, and amusing, especially the description of my father as "a
classic smarmy salesman."

There are lots of canned fruits and vegetables that I like and I like
green beans, but I have little to no interest in canned green beans.
Heck, I would rather eat canned peas than canned beans.
