Principles of Adult Behavior

  1. Be patient. No matter what.
  2. Don’t badmouth: Assign responsibility, not blame. Say nothing of another you wouldn’t say to him.
  3. Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you.
  4. Expand your sense of the possible.
  5. Don’t trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.
  6. Expect no more of anyone than you can deliver yourself.
  7. Tolerate ambiguity.
  8. Laugh at yourself frequently.

How to bake decent bagels

I basically follow this recipe with a few exceptions.

homestyle bagels

Instead of malt syrup, I substitute molasses.

For a standard batch of 8-10 decent sized plain bagels, here's the ingredient list:

plato's first book of "the republic," as translated by gizoogle

Book 1

I went down yesterdizzle ta tha Piraeus wit Glaucon tha lil hustla of Ariston, dat I might offer up mah lyrics ta tha goddess (Bendis, tha Thracian Artemis.); n' also cuz I wanted ta peep up in what tha fuck manner they would big-up tha festival, which was a freshly smoked up thang. I was delighted wit tha procession of tha inhabitants; but dat of tha Thracians was equally, if not more, dope. When our crazy-ass asses had finished our lyrics n' viewed tha spectacle, our crazy-ass asses turned up in tha direction of tha hood; n' at dat instant Polemarchus tha lil hustla of Cephalus chizzled ta catch sight of our asses from a thugged-out distizzle as our crazy-ass asses was startin on our way home, n' busted some lyrics ta his servant ta run n' bid our asses wait fo' his muthafuckin ass. Da servant took hold of mah crazy ass by tha cloak behind, n' holla'd: Polemarchus desires you ta wait.

I turned round, n' axed his ass where his crazy-ass masta was.

There he is, holla'd tha youth, comin afta y
