help me improve my life to the point where I've got more going on at nights than spending it over an unwashed tin pot.
Well, that explains why you've been a
tin pot dictator.

INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED
------------------------------
1 ounce of 240 Californium-
I saw this and I wasn't sure, I thought it was some new product using a ridiculous name, but instead, you were being ridiculous. 240 californium—the name is not capitalized just like mercury, the metal, is not capitalized while Mercury, the planet, is—is an artificial element, laboratory created, usually in microscopic quantities, and to create an ounce of it, if that's even possible, would probably cost over ten million dollars.
Will it degrade the recipe if they use an Android phone or tablet?

1 bouillon cube
$100 in gold bullion
I was going to say, after the bouillon cube a cube of bullion would make it richer, but you beat me to it. But at today's prices, $100 in gold bullion is about the size of two grains of rice.
The thing that bugs me is, about 5-6 months ago, I suggested to my brother (and sister) that he take a small piece of his 401K, and buy about $20,000 in gold coins because of two things: (1) presuming he buys them for retirement, in 15 years they'd be worth $200,000 based on historical trends; (2) If it''s done as a Roth IRA, the gains are tax free. Back then, gold was $1,300/ounce, meaning now that $20,000 would be worth $26,154. She said her financial advisor said (then) that gold was not a good investment, so they passed. I'd say now, fire the guy and get someone competent.

I don't live in New Mexico right now because the county assessor took a look at the fact that my home had been ravaged by a 30 pound raccoon, homeless veteran and pair of thrown eggs and docked me - me! - a cooool thirty-thousand dollars.
I'm not sure if you mean the Assessor hit you for a $30,000 unpaid tax bill, reduced the value of your home by $30,000 (what I think you mean) or increased its value by $30,000, increasing its taxes.
It depends what you mean by 'docked' because in the sense you're using, it would imply "reduced," as in "I was six minutes late to work so the boss docked me an hour."
If your home's value was decreased, even if you're underwater (your remaining mortgage exceeds house value) as long as you can afford the payments and are not using the house as an ATM (constantly taking money out of its presumed value) it doesn't matter.
If you feel the assessment is too high, you can appeal; if comparable houses in the area are not being sold for the new appraisal you should be able to get it reduced.

That, specifically, I mean. In other words, much like the new Battlestar Galactica, I have no idea what Hatch is fucking doing there.
1. Hatch is the brand, like "Chiquita bananas" or "Eatwell jack mackerel" or (fictional) "Starbuck's New England clam chowder" and "Goldman's New York clam chowder."
2. Hatch is he person who discovered, bred, or were named for them, the way all American retail bananas are Cavendish bananas, cloned from the original stock named for William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire.

The Hatch Guy we had was a family man from New Mexico. His wife and young son were with him, and he told us what a standard grill will put out, in terms of BTUs. I thought he was talking about the chiles themselves, so when he said, "150,000 BTUs" I was like, "well, this is fine, then - I'll have food, one atom at a time, for the rest of my life."
Quit drinking so much before dinner; it's messing up your brain and turning it to mush. I don't even eat hot food and I know that the heat level of chiles is rated exclusively in Scoville units.
BTUs are not a measure of
heat, they are a measure of
energy. You can have a 50,000 BTU air conditioner or a 50,000 BTU heater. A candle produces about 1,000 BTUs an hour. A BTU is the amount of energy needed to heat - or cool - one pound of water by 1 degree F.
