I have since cooled off and now realize how silly Rand zealots look.

Oh, wow. Our little A-Cap is all grown up. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

This is the first message board I ever used, and I came in guns blazing about my ayn rand reading and my love for the wealth creation mechanism. I did not then know that talking about Ayn Rand was such a thing on the internet forum venue and I got into many battles with LFM. I have since cooled off and now realize how silly Rand zealots look.

Ah, I see.  Well, as someone who, in a former life as editor at a college conservative rag, has had to calmly but sternly wallop more than my share of Rand zealots upside the head until they get a little smooth around the edges -- generally in bars, rather than message boards, but it's the same -- I am glad that you have cooled off and can now lead a semi-normal life among people.

This will be the first and last time Roast Beef is ever compared to John Galt.

I hopes.

it was the only other narrative I could remember of a character fixing a machine being used to torture him.
or something.

Well, that's understandable.  Who does that?  I guess, only mythic Objectivists and Roast Beef.

{Edit: "objectivists and roast beef" is actually to be found somewhere in Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but the index is not helping me out.}

It would say that there is no au-jus because it is being wasted on the underclasses and then go on about how the most oppressed people in the world are the upper-classes, what with how normal schmucks are siphoning off slivers of the upper class's potential decadence that they might live in dignity and... hey... if they wanted to live in dignity, they should've been born with stuff to begin with, such as au-jus.

And then the author would talk about how she wants the au-jus to force itself upon her, sexually.

For about eight hundred pages straight.

these Nero Wolfe books are pretty good.

as soon as I pay down my library fines I will read more of them.
