[10:18] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: Orphans are a wise investment in a turbulent economy.<\/a>
\n[10:18] Mr. X<\/strong>: Yeah, they give you a lot of options
\n[10:19] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: The irony is that I can also sell them as meat.
\n[10:19] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: The circle of life is complete.
\n[10:20] Mr. X<\/strong>: They would probably go good with garlic mashed potatoes… as long as there wasn’t some sort of problem with potatoes…
\n[10:20] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: Isn’t it great how garlic makes everything better?<\/p>\n

Except chocolate.
\n[10:22] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: I actually had a garlic-chocolate cake once. It was… um… interesting.
\n[10:22] Mr. X<\/strong>: I would have to pass on that
\n[10:23] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: It was part of an all garlic menu at a restaurant<\/a>, during a garlic festival.<\/p>\n

Everything else was yummy. The cake was… not yummy.<\/p>\n

Garlic ice cream, on the other hand, which I had at the all-garlic restaurant in San Francisco<\/a>, is definitely yummy. It would go nicely with orphan shank.
\n[10:24] Mr. X<\/strong>: Yeah, I tried garlic ice cream somewhere too and it was ok
\n[10:24] Mr. X<\/strong>: Never tried orphan shank though
\n[10:24] Mr. X<\/strong>: just to be clear \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

[10:25] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: So, you’ve met the parents of everything you’ve eaten? Man, country manners really are different than city manners.
\n[10:27] Mr. X<\/strong>: It could be that I ate the parents of everything I’ve eaten
\n[10:27] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: So long as you did it in the right order, you could avoid eating orphans.
\n[10:27] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: That’s a lot of logistics, though.
\n[10:27] Mr. X<\/strong>: Afterall, eating is one of my favorite leisure time activities
\n[10:28] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: And we all know that leisure is very important.
\n[10:28] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: Hell, there should probably be more of it<\/a>.
\n[10:28] Mr. X<\/strong>: Yes. Speaking of the right order. If I did do it right, I could make sure I only ate orphans. Probably more humane if you think about it
\n[10:29] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: Yes. It’s a tragedy when a parent outlives his child.
\n[10:34] Mr. X<\/strong>: So, whats with the ‘Doc’?
\n[10:34] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: The Rules:<\/p>\n

#1. Never eat a restaurant called “Mom’s”
\n #2. Never play poker with man called “Doc”.
\n #3. Never sleep with a woman with more troubles than you.
\n[10:35] Mr. X<\/strong>: Ahh<\/p>\n

[10:37] Mr. X<\/strong>: What about #4. Never sleep with your mom
\n[10:37] “Doc” McLaren<\/strong>: I think it goes without saying that people should avoid sleeping with my mom. She’s very emotionally needy.<\/p>\n

People always ask me how I manage to work at home along all day and not see anyone. Well, I can still have this sort of conversation, even out here in the woods. You can see how this keeps me sane.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
