“With stand-up you meet almost constant rejection. You put yourself out there with your thoughts and your ideas, and you think they're funny, and you hope other people think they're funny too. The only way you're going to find out is when you do it and what the reaction is going to be. So if you're not prepared for that, if you're not willing to go along with that, it's going to be a rough road.

Then you stuff the filling in the cavity they leave behind and fry 'em up! That's the basics of a stuffed chicken wing."
"Mmm! I can smell their savory aroma from here. What's in the filling?"
"Well, there're the basics, like ground pork, chives and cabbage. I added some diced pork jowl too.
Oh! And shiitake mushrooms. That's the important part.
See, chicken meat has inosinic acid in it, and shiitake mushrooms have guanylic acid. Both of those are umami components.
Together, they magnify each other, giving the dish a richer flavor.”

Already during Luther's lifetime, unwelcome and unacknowledged disciples had developed the doctrine of Anabaptism, which for a time dominated the city of Munster. The Anabaptists repudiated all law since they held that good men will be guided at every moment by the Holy Spirit, who can not be bound by formulas. From this premise they arrive at communism and sexual promiscuity; they were therefore exterminated after a heroic resistance.”
