Yes, until about 5pm or so the same day, when the e.coli kicks in. Perhaps I just missed something due to the editing, but those eggs looked woefully undercooked. Ramsay's whole "the heat's in HERE" schtick is flat wrong. The heat is on the flame, thank you. The trick to making great scambled eggs is a good eye. Light yellow with spackles of white. Then, check the texture. It should be *genuinely* fluffy (his looked sodden). I'll grant him the rest.

As to his behavior, alright, I'll buy the fact that professional kitchens are pressure cookers (no pun intended). But I have a friend who used to work as a sous chef who witnessed a head chef, enraged, throwing a scalding-hot plate of something into the face of another sous chef. The other sous chef ended up with a personal scar. I asked my friend if the head chef had been arresed for assault and battery. He looked at me like I was nuts. But I'm sorry, assault is assault. "It's my job"-"It's the nature of a kitchen" just doesn't cut it. Being an asshole isn't illegal; wounding someone IS.

Leaving Mick Jagger with no time to ACT!

Has anyone seen "The Man From Elysian Fields"? Jagger is damn well brilliant, especially in one scene with Anjelica Huston that just wants to scrape your soul. He's great, and could be even greater.

But no, he must ever prance around the stage as His Satanic Majesty. What a waste.

I am truly stunned at what a nation of shrinking violets and, yes, pussies this has become. Even considering what happened off-camera, what those girls did was NOTHING compared to stuff I saw on campus in junior high and high school, and I grew up in a solidly median, working class town. And what happened back then? The kids got suspended, or expelled if the violence warranted it. Today? The "animalistic" (please!) teens are given the full, orange jumpsuit treatment along with the usual charge inflation. Felony assault? What a crock of shit. And I don't know what video Farhad was watching, but the one I saw showed ONE girl attacking Ms. Lindsay while the others egged her on. Pretty standard high school stuff.

There are times when violence - yes, including interpersonal violence - is necessary. Have we seen the other side of the story? Do we know what Ms. Lindsay posted on MySpace about these other young girls? I can tell you that the hater phenomenon is alive and well all over MySpace, YouTube, FaceBook, Friendster - you name the site. It looked to me like a bunch of righteously pissed-off kids finally confronted someone who had been hiding behind her MySpace account and trash-talking. Listen a little more carefully to what the girls are saying. I distinctly heard one girl demand to know if Lindsay "[wants] to kick my ass now? Are you gonna kick my ass now bitch?!" That's a clear reference to something Ms. Lindsay posted to her MySpace page. There IS a such thing as fighting words.

This is something that got out of hand, but I'm betting a little ass-whupping was just what the doctor ordered in this case. But now Ms. Lindsay can play the sweet, innocent victim. I rather doubt she is. I'd really like to see those MySpace entries.
