Matasano Chargen: Mr. John Flowers’ Chilli

    I can grind pepper by hand without a mortar and pestle, with my bare hands. And in case you were wondering, yes I can do both a coarse grind for Steak Au Poivre or a fine grind for table service.

    You can do a coarse grind for Steak Au Poivre and then watch me eat it, raw-food vego-fascist hippie. Oh let me taste your tears, oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness. Myummy. Myummy!

    Fascinating stuff. I have been following John Flowers since his amusing flame wars on the focus-ids list years ago and was finally treated to a live performance at the InvestMidwest venture conference in 2005. It made the whole tedious trip worth it.

    The presentation had only one slide with the word "kozoru" on it and 8 minutes out of 10 were spent on the human interest side of Flowers, including the bits about the prison, Thailand and gorgeous hard wood floors his Kansas City house. The old money types in the room were entertained, but it was clear no one was going to write any checks. Good times.

    From that link:

    ... The report did note that KTEC's due diligence "could have been a bit more substantial relative to Mr. Flowers." ...
