I wonder what Englanders think of this:
Overall, foreigners are accused of one in four of all crimes committed in London. Astonishingly, they make up nine out of ten drug suspects and are responsible for more than one in three sex offences.
From the same article:
Critics say Britain’s open borders with other EU members make it impossible to control who comes and goes. In many cases, Brussels regulations make it impossible to stop criminals from entering even if we know of their convictions. EU laws also restrict the Government’s ability to send criminals back home after prison.
That gets a GAINT WTF !

Last night Old Mack made pepper steak w/ rice and it was really good.
Mackaeteers, Old Macks mom use to tell him when he was a little kid, if you can read a cookbook, you can cook and Mackaeteers...as a aadult I have found it is so true, especially now of days with all the recipes on the WWW. The best ones I get are for crockpots or what are sometimes called slow cookers. If you don't have one you should run right out and get one, since they still can be purchased pretty cheap. They are really great for cooking when you have the time.
Think, I'll try this pork chop dish next:
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed golden mushroom soup,
1 (1 ounce) package onion soup mix, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup water
1 onion, sliced, 1 (12 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms, 4 potatoes, halved and 4 pork chops.
Here's the simple directions:
1.Mix cream of mushroom soup, golden mushroom soup, onion soup mix, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and water in a slow cooker.
2.Stir in onion, mushrooms, and potatoes.
3.Place pork chops in the mushroom mixture, turning to coat both sides.
4.Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours.
5.Spoon the mushroom sauce over the pork chops and potatoes for serving.
I can taste it already !

Mackaeteers...you haven't be seeing me arround because I've been busy playing chess with my new program that is out of this world. Old Mack has also been spending some time at a political message board and let me tell you it is a cyber food fight. Censorship is at a minimum and people there act the way you would expect them to when almost anything goes.
I made those porkchops in the crockpot and they were pretty tastey but not as tastey as when Lab Rat makes them. I made some French onion soup in the crock pot and it wasn't to good. Don't get me wrong, it was eatable but it wasn't like my stove top homerun French oinion soup.
Anyhow...this weeks thrills and spills from Philadelphia is the story of a guy who has to have a new nickname. You know Mackaeteers...where I come from, if you don't have a nickname you don't have any friends !
Philadelphia: ...Kenneth Richard Mazik is being charged with disrupting operations at the airport and endangering safety there, the U.S. attorney said Friday. Mazik, of the Philadelphia suburb of Chadds Ford, drove his Jeep through a fence Thursday and sped up and down two runways at speeds of more than 100 mph before being surrounded and apprehended, police said.
The case has no connection to terrorism, investigators said, and the Jeep tested negative for explosives and other hazardous materials. The 24-year-old Mazik also faces DUI and reckless endangerment charges. The SUV caused pilots and air-traffic controllers to scramble and make last-minute adjustments in the air and on the ground, affecting dozens of aircraft. One flight was about 20 seconds from touching down when it had to pull up suddenly after a controller spotted the vehicle on the tarmac in foggy conditions, said Don Chapman, president of Philadelphia local of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.
...In a federal affidavit, authorities said Mazik accelerated through a metal fence as a plane approached the runway and drove faster than 100 mph on the tarmac. Authorities estimated that 75 aircraft had to circle the airport to prepare for landing and 80 were prevented from departing on time.
You can read the whole story here: http://www.philly.com/philly/gallery/20120302_ap_policereviewsecurityafterphillyrunwayscare.html?viewGallery=y
BTW: if you can believe it this is how the article ended... A message left at a telephone listing for his mother wasn't immediately returned.

I posted this at another website...no sence letting a good post go to waste so I'm recycling it:
I miss those Nigeria scam emails.
When I use to get them, I would string the scammer along as long as I could. My first question to them would be...there is no way my exwife can find out about this is there ??? (I've never been married) When I really had them hooked, I would tell them that by chance I would be visiting a city maybe within a couple hundred miles from them staying at the _______ Hotel.(that I had looked up) I would tell them, I travel the world and would be there on business in about 6 months to see if opening a McDonald's Restaurant would be feasible in that city. Could we meet at my hotel ?
I also asked them if could they get a 18 virgin to spend the night with me for $3,000 cash American dollars. After a few emails I would ask them if they could get me a pound of heroin, that I had a fool proof way of smuggling it into America. I had did it on two other occasions and made $35,000 each time. I would tell them how I smuggled it in, when I knew I could trust them. After I strung them along enough, I would ask them if they knew a hit man from their country living in America that would kill my exwife and that I would pay in advance by Western Union. Half as soon as the details were worked out and half when the job was done.
Like their real victims, they were so greedy I could string them along for quite awhile before they realized I was messing with them.

I just made a Ruben sandwich and man it was great...talk about hitting the spot.
It tasted so good, I'd make another but I'm out of rye bread. I guess I'll have to just sit here and think about it.

There are black people in the Dublin area.
My mom was just telling about the St Patrick Day parade in Philly. There have been black people in it for years, what was different this year was that there were young black people doing the Irish step dancing.
Isn't America such a beautiful place !!!

Nah Ville Sky Chick first let me say thank you for not shunning me.
Golden Mushroom soup is basicly the same as Cream of Mushroom soup in taste. Of course it is golden in color and is a little thicker that Cream of Mushroom soup, so it is better to use in most recipes that go in the oven or crockpot, especially when you want to give a dish a certain color. Presentation is very important to a chef or even a good cook for that matter.
Here's some mushrooms just for you:
I hope they put a smile on your face !
And remember: For the best mushroom experience make sure: that you’re in an environment where you feel safe and comfortable; that you take them with an empty stomach and clear head; and that you take the correct dose.

pinhedz...one thing about the Russians, they know how to have a good time. The celebration of St Patrick's in Russia proves what a failure their communist state was.
As for President Obama hitting the pub on St Paddys Day...I read a really good article about it. I scanned it with my bullshit detector and it passed the test. Anyhow the way I read it, BHO was really being a regular guy and not pretending to be a regular guy like politicians so often do. I'll bet if someone picked a fight with him, he would have told the Serect Service to back off and duked it out with the guy ! I am no great fan of the guy as my President but last year when I saw him wearing a silk green tie on St Paddy's Day it made me feel good (mostly about my country). The kind of good like when those Englanders and Gerries had the soccer match in the lull of the battle on Christmas Eve during World War I.
Thank you for your contribution to Codename: Mackadamia...I sending you a case of Guinness Beer by special messenger.
Please be sure and remember don't drink and drive.

Chester County man faces charges while riding mower drunk
A 57-year-old Chester County man is facing drunken driving charges after he flipped his John Deere riding mower on the way to a friend’s house. David Brisbow was driving his John Deer 210 mower south on Baron Road in Elk Township, Chester County around 6:23 p.m. Friday when the alleged incident occurred. According to state police, Brisbow somehow flipped the John Deere and crashed. When troopers responded, Brisbow “showed signs of alcohol impairment at the scene of the crash,” and was taken into custody for DUI, according to the press release issued by Trooper Jason Sperazza.

Great news out on Highway61...Lab Rat (my Squeeze) got home from a trip to St Louis. When I knew she was close to getting home, I jumped in my truck and sat there and waited for her to pull in our driveway. When she pulled up, I put on my CD player and much to her surprise, I jumped out with a bunch of flowers I had bought for her earlier in the day.
It was like a scene from a movie.

The only music that LR sits down with me and listens to is Bobby Dylan.tatiana wrote:Mack, you do know that joe cocker is the worst singer though, LabRat must love you, if she listens to him with you
Funny you should say that about Joe Cocker because today I was thinking about it today. I'm sure you heard that passage...'These were the best of times, these were the worst of times.' Joe's voice reminds me of that. I think he is really good at doing covers of other peoples songs but sometimes it sounds like in great phyical pain. Have to admit tho he is in a league of his own.
Joe is like a 100 years old now days:

Thank you for your kind words Nah Ville Sky Chick.
Since this is Codename: Mackadamia I'll tell you about a page from my book. I love...well I really like Joe Cocker, well I love his music but I have to be in the mood to listen to him...so thats why he gets a really like rating. (unlike Bobby Dylan who I can listen to any time) I saw Joe in concert at The Tower Theater once. Miss Ex, another couple and me were all tripping on some good acid. It was...how should I put it...a interesting evening.
Here's the very show: http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/joe-cocker/concerts/tower-theater-may-01-1976.html
Kicking off with a high energy, piano-driven instrumental jam, Joe Cocker and his backing band brings down the house at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia back in 1976. This show, recorded originally for broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour, is a nearly hour and a half long set of Cocker favorites and tracks off his most recent album, Stingray.
...Cocker is known across the globe for his raspy vocals which translate exceptionally well with the brand of soul he chooses to sing. Born in Sheffield, Cocker got his start with an English pub band, and an appearance at Woodstock with his cover "A Little Help From My Friends" followed by a subsequent sting with Leon Russell's Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour in 1970.
At the time of this show, he was on his way back into the rock 'n' roll world after a critical and commercial decline due to problems with alcohol. However, it was with the release of his gorgeous 1975 cover "You Are So Beautiful" that brought Cocker back to the attention of the masses. Cocker again found his way back into mainstream success with the duet "Up Where We Belong" that was featured in the movie An Officer and a Gentlemen.
...After nearly 40 years on the rock circuit, Joe Cocker continues to be involved with music....
