North's Maple Syrup Flavored Non-Alliterative Random Banter #95 Eh?

[North]

The Rules. You! Read these! Eh!

In order to try and keep these threads from becoming unmanageable, some rules have been created, and they accent the forum rules. Please read those first, eh.

1. Spam. For the purposes of RB one word posts should be spam everywhere. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* should also be considered spam. Quality of content trumps speed of response.
2. Ditch the "competition for control of the universe" eh. It has ceased to be funny, and often branches out into little mock battles that fall into the spam definition laid out above. We've got a PbP section for fights, and even the Town has an arena, I believe.
3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well, eh?
4. Stop advertising other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.
5. Please stop with single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."
6. Do not poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."
7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.
8. No asking "What's the topic" or the ilk. This is *not* a conversation where you could've missed the begining, it's a forum where the current topic is nicely recorded for you. So read up a bit first.
9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.
10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.
11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details


:miko:Anyone found breaking the rules will be sent to stand in the corner and receive a very stern talking to! :miko:

EH!

Captain Obvious to the rescue!

Let's open with tradition, shall we?

*BOOGIE!*
This thread has been blessed.

Non-alliterative? Fie on thee, infidiel! Fie!

Captain Obvious to the rescue!

Only if your name starts with a J and ends with a ibar.

Or starts with an E and ends with a go.

Yeah. I think so.

Also, *GASP*!

Ahem. So, this one is maple syrup flavoured, eh?! Reminds me... I don't think I've got any around. I miss it as a sweetener for tea. Hrm...

Now I want to alliterate with "maple syrup" but I can't think of anything.

[Lyesmith]

Maple Syrup's massivley superior random banter #96?
Also, i'm having some fantastic scottish icecream with maple syrup on it Right Now.
And it is goooood.

Garlic is a very "interesting" addition to tea.

And by interesting, I mean disgusting.

It was actually pretty tasty :smallbiggrin:

On the subject of garlic and tea. :smallyuk:

...the use of science as a motivator has led me to several things that were not good for my health. Including poisoning a chem lab accidentally. >.>

I have yet to mix up anything really disgusting out of childish curiosity... guess it's too late now. I'm too old for that. :smalltongue:

I do remember my brother mixing ginger beer and soy milk once... that was weird.

[I'm da Rogue!]

At the age of 4, I thought it was a good idea to eat a large amount of sugar.
(Since sugar=good -> a lot of sugar=awesome)

So, I eat the sugar. But it was too sweet for me.
And the little genious made this thought:

Since salt is the opposite of sugar, I can wash off the taste of sugar by eating salt! ^^

I threw up.

[Dragonrider]

I have yet to mix up anything really disgusting out of childish curiosity... guess it's too late now. I'm too old for that. :smalltongue:

I do remember my brother mixing ginger beer and soy milk once... that was weird.

um...yuck? :smalltongue:

OK, I am not one to talk about weird food combinations. I eat them so regularly I don't even know what's weird anymore. My lunch wasn't too bad though: sandwich with crumbled feta cheese (since I can't eat most cheeses), ham, apple, and lettuce. We were out of tomato AND mustard. So I used barbecue sauce instead. It was pretty good.

[RandomLogic]

But how can you be sure? Peanut Butter and Chocolate seems odd at first glance. You must try yourself!

For Science!

We were going to test the "is everything better fried theory" once. We had a little deep fryer and we were going to make a whole bunch of stuff, and then fry it to test. Our friend kept trying to convince us to do it, but we did not conduct the experiment due to potential mess. Mainly because none of us like to clean.

That being said though, friend twinkies are fantasmic!

[Lyesmith]

i used to squeeze yhogurt (the strawberry/rasberry kid you get in tubes) into my bags of salt and vinegar crisps, then shake the about and eat them.

Hot damn, they were awesome.

[Cobra_Ikari]

I did applesauce, vanilla pudding, honey, and chicken once...

...not bad overall.

[RandomLogic]

Oooo. A friend of mine broke his jaw, so he had to have it locked shut so it would heal. Well because of this he had to blend his food so it would get past the mouth braces. Holy mackerel are blended cheeseburgers disgusting! Also chicken nuggets.. etc etc. He would just eat (drink?) gravy because it came in a jar and it was already liquid.

[Dragonrider]

Oooh! Oooh! You know what's really good? cottage cheese and applesauce. All mixed up. Looks like puke, tastes like heaven. :smallbiggrin:

@^: I thought only men got nervous before dates. Anyways, don't worry about it.

I was just at an elementary school science fair. Now, it's a given that elementary school students aren't going to do the fanciest projects. But I couldn't help but be reminded of Ralph Wiggum ("I'm Idaho!") by this one kid there, whose project was called "Space Bully" and was about black holes. It consisted of two pieces of paper, one of which had a poorly-drawn swirl on it, the other having about five or six extremely suspect "facts" about black holes. (I think one of them was that objects shrink as they are pulled into black holes.)

Him: Black holes are created when a star collapses in on itself!

FoE: So why do stars do that?

Him: Uuuuuh ...

:smallsigh: Needless to say, I quickly moved on to see the other projects.

[North]

Tsk, I'm not that girly.

You'd rather us assume female?


Ill grudingly imagine that scenario. But only as a favour to you.

********

But where would all that chocolate syrup come from?

[Scorpina]

You'd rather us assume female?

Well, my point is that it could be either.


But where would all that chocolate syrup come from?

Oh, it's easy enough to find.

My brother is currently doing a really....... ridiculous Science fair project. He's got two guinea pigs in a maze, and he says he wants to time how long it takes them to reach the food depending on what kind of food he places for them.

Needless to say, a Guinea Pig who's not hungry won't go into the maze no matter how good the food is.:smallsigh:

[North]

Allright lets fill up the swimming pool then. And animate the giant gummi bears.

[I'm da Rogue!]

Nah, it's not about being girly.

I'm not girly, yet I still wonder if I look fat in my jeans, or what should I do with this hair I almost never brush because I'm lazy, and it's too wavy.

If you like the other person, you get anxious about your looks.

And guys... You can almost feel their eyes on your butt, when you turn your back to them.:smallyuk:

And this makes me more anxious

[Scorpina]

I'm not girly, yet I still wonder if I look fat in my jeans, or what should I do with this hair I almost never brush because I'm lazy, and it's too wavy.

Ah, well in this case the guy knows what the real me looks like, so I can get away with not brushing my hair. :smallsmile:

That's why you need to starve them.

If nothing else, tell him to put the guinea pig in a little airplane. :smalltongue:

What are you talking about? Men don't get ogled. (And certainly not Smurfs. Unless it's Smurfette. That girl's one tasty piece of ass.) :smalltongue:

Wait...so I'm supposed to ogle you?

...I'm happy just looking at your faces, sorry, ladies.

A nice male butt is something worth staring.

A nice male butt is something worth staring.And how. On a related note, there's far too few men wearing tight pants nowadays.

Oi, and this is the conversation I choose to jump in on.
Plenty of men, well, I guess I should say boys, wear tight pants around here. It's called emo.

Yes but they always wear a women's cut, and it so often makes their ass look flat and wide, and their legs too short, and is only very rarely shmexy.

...Yeah, that's right. I check out emo boys. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

[LightWraith]

Very true. Although at my University guys are starting to wear pants that fit again.

On a related note, guys, if your pants fit, you can be pretty sure someone's looking.

Edit: And since I got multi-super-ninja'd... I am not referring to guys wearing girl-cut jeans. That just looks uncomfortable.

[Dragonrider]

emo pants look horrible, IMHO. :smalltongue:
Of course, I wear tight pants...but I am a girl. Makes all the difference. :smallwink: Also, unlike some people, I don't wear TOO SMALL pants. I am a legitimate size 5 (American...dunno what for the rest of you...). There is a difference between tight and too small. [/self-righteousness]

[EmeraldRose]

As long as the guys aren't wearing pants so big they fall off or have to hold them up all the time...but yes, well fitting pants do look good :smallamused:

[RandomLogic]

A nice pair of fitting jeans plus a decent belt = teh win.

Also thank god I picked up a size longer pants, they look so much better and I don't get the stupid highwater thingies when I sit down.

[Inigo Montoya]

As a guy, I do not see the obssesion about pants. I'm sorry, but I'm not about to look at someone's butt. It's very rude in my opinion.

[Cobra_Ikari]

On the subject of garlic and tea from the first page.

Cape Cod Chinese food when your nine, crying, lost, and being lead by an small elderly woman into her foyer is odd, to say the least.
All I remember is that she gave me some very garlicky noodles and then a cup of tea.
What brought it up is my footboards varnish is now completely striped because of some out-of-the-box noodles that have enough garlic in them to eat through concrete.

Also, the idea of Dragonrider in tight pants gave me a nosebleed.:smallbiggrin: :smallredface:

She looked damn good, and I told her so. And then the conversation moved on, but I was still focussed on how good she looked, and so I asked her - jokingly, mind you, but I'm not very good at getting that across - whether she was gay. She looked worried for a moment there... said no, and then asked me the same :smallbiggrin: Poor Goff, if I'd said yes...

You can check out emo boys if you want, you just admitted you don't find them very, um, shmexy. So eyeball their flat butts all you like. I just don't get it. I've worn women's cut pants (uh, for science,) and I found the experience to be desperately uncomfortable.

I have a lot of issues with jeans. Aside from them not fitting me properly, I despise that bloody stupid pre-worn look. Why the hell do you want fake grass stains and wear-marks?!

The lack of availability that comes with things I like going "out of style" also contributes to my never getting rid of clothes.

Especially pants. Why won't anyone sell me pants in the summer, pray tell?

[Shas aia Toriia]

Do you know what really annoys me? "Foreign" foods and restaurants.
I mean, why even bother calling all that food, say, Chinese food for example chinese if that's not even what they eat over there?

It's like marketing burgers and hot dogs as "American" food, when I'm sure that Americans don't eat as a staple of their diet (well, maybe a few do, but that's beside the point).

[Skippy]

I gotta say this conversation is far too fun.

Myself, I enjoy using fitting jeans most of the time. I know perfectly what I have and what I don't have, too.

Also: Woot new thread!!

When I was in China, everyone thought Americans ate McDonald's and KFC all the time, and I confess I laughed aloud. We eat...um...a lot of pseudo-Italian and pseudo-Mexican. Basically. :smalltongue:
And yes...Chinese in other countries is definitely NOT "real" Chinese. It is Amerese.

[Kneenibble]

Granted, M(r.s) Toriia,

But what else are you going to call it?
"Hey! Let's call for some Chinese-American takeout."

I was in India over the summer and spent a lot of time with Koreans (don't ask). They didn't call french fries, burgers, hot dogs, &c. American, but rather "international food".

Speaking of Indian food, no matter how many times it made me sick, the "fast food" and chai from street stalls was irresistible.

The average joe in India wears tight pants, by the way, and 99% of them have really cute bums.

[/Artful weaving of tangents into context]

[DaMidget]

The problem with tighter jeans is it becomes uncomfortable to carry my phone in my pocket, and it makes this funny looking bulge in my pants when I do....:smallbiggrin:

Indeed, but very few people would be taken with 'real' chinese food, so we (americans) dumb it down to be more 'palatable'.

In all honesty, my stomach does not agree with most Korean food. Only cucumber kimchee (sp?).

Edit: Most Mexican food you will find in America is 'tex-mex', aside from a few restaurants in Arizona and New Mexico. It is understandable that most people from the southwest will find tex-mex inedible.

[Zeb The Troll]

Mmm, Mexican food. When I was growing up, for a short time my family cohabitated with a family of Mexican immigrants. My mom, being the wonderful cook that she is, learned a lot from Rosa (the matriarch of the family aforementioned). Admittedly, most of what I still eat is Tex-Mex, but mom's burritos are still the best I've ever had. And even mom won't try tamales (them's a LOT of work) but I still remember that it was Rosa's tamales that made me fall in love with Mexican food to begin with.

[Serpentine]

There's a great Indian place here. Oh, their nans are to die for! Lassis are a must, though - the spiciness of the meals seems to vary, possibly depending on who's cooking. The people seem really nice, too, though we've only gotten takeaway. We've recently discovered a Thai place, too. That was pretty damn tasty...
Dammit. Now I want Thai, but I has no monies :smallfrown:

Indeed, but very few people would be taken with 'real' chinese food, so we (americans) dumb it down to be more 'palatable'.


Wellllll...all the Americans I know who've lived in China GENERALLY like the food. What most people don't realize is that the cuisine there is just as variable by area as in any place. So in the north, the whole "eating cats and dogs" thing doesn't happen so much. They do eat "drunk shrimp" and "stinky tofu" but other than that it's pretty good. Oh, and no soy sauce where I was, either - I went 5 months without seeing a single bottle. :smallwink:


So, what do you call American food?

(By American I don't mean the whole continent, just USA)

Umm...that's the problem...there's not really any genuinely American food. Besides hamburgers and pizza...? Fried chicken? ...yeah. Pretty much. The classic American (home-cooked) meal is like...meat, potatoes, and vegetables. Think Thanksgiving dinner....:smalltongue:

(and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way to refer to us but 'American'...which I kind of hate...we could be 'USA'ers but I prefer to think of us as 'Troglanders')

American food is probably BBQ, anything fried, giant steaks.

I like fruits and veggies better, I confess. :smalltongue:


As for blood-giving...I'm pretty sure I'm one of those who wouldn't be too good for it. I've lived out of the country too much for them to take my blood anyway, so it's a moot point, but even if I were allowed to I have such a low blood pressure that I'd probably black out. I'm not scared of needles, but my body doesn't seem to listen to my brain.

[Zeb The Troll]

Okay, rant.

So we just bought a new (to us) house and we're trying to transfer our services over to the new place. No problem for most of it, like the utilities. Same day change over, no sweat. The cable/internet/phone service that I have with the local provider (Comcast) not so much. Unlike most folks, I've had a very good experience with Comcast and I signed up for one of those bundles where you get a better rate if you promise to keep it for two years. No sweat there. Until the move. Now, true to my promise (and desires actually) I tried to move the services I have with them over to the new home. But they don't service the new area. At all. Sigh, but okay, I'll shop for other providers of the same services and see what I can get.

I have two options that don't involve shoving a dish in my roof, which I don't want and won't give me phone/internet service anyway. One is Millenium, which only has speeds that Craptastic International Junk DSL Incorporated has surpassed years ago. The other is Verizon. Okay, this is fine. I'll look into their FiOS service, that has promise and is comparably priced with cable modem service.

So I go to the website and start plugging in numbers to see if FiOS is available in the new area. The site says "We're sorry, you have to call our 800 number to process this order." Grrr. I call. After getting through their stupid menu options, that don't actually have an option for "start new service", by banging on "0" enough that they finally just put a rep on the phone with me, who asked what account I was callling about. :smallannoyed: I tell him clearly that I don't currently have ANY Verizon services and that I'd like to order all new services, many of them, from him, right now. "Oh, great! I'd love to help you out. What's the phone number at your location?" :smallmad: "Dude, I just told you I don't have one. That's why I'm calling you, from my cell phone." <this is repeated with two new phone numbers and several representatives before I finally get a very pleasant and knowledgeable woman who knows which buttons to press on her phone to help me out> So I'm chatting with her, she assures me that FiOS is available at the new house and I won't have to go with Millenium. Hooray! "Now, lets just decide which package or packages you want and I'll get the order put in for you." Great! We talk, I settle on just what I want; everything, extra cheese. Now, I just need to set up an installation date. How soon do I want it? Yesterday, please! She offers to give me the absolute earliest appointment they have available because I work midnights and I can be available any day at any time they need me to be. Great! "How's March 26th?" Excuse me? A month from today is the earliest you can give me internet and television? "I'm sorry, yes." <she explains to me why they are so backed up, it's a reasonable explanation, but doesn't help me get service at my new house any sooner. She even called the service technicians directly and asked about any earlier cancellations. No dice.

So there we have it. I have no internet at the new house for another month. Because I can't live that long without an internet connection, this means that I will be leaving my service in place at the old apartment and coming by periodically to check things like email and these very forums. For a month. :smallsigh:

Okay, rant over. Thank you for reading. :smallcool:

After getting through their stupid menu options, that don't actually have an option for "start new service", by banging on "0" enough that they finally just put a rep on the phone with me, who asked what account I was callling about. :smallannoyed: I tell him clearly that I don't currently have ANY Verizon services and that I'd like to order all new services, many of them, from him, right now. "Oh, great! I'd love to help you out. What's the phone number at your location?" :smallmad: "Dude, I just told you I don't have one. That's why I'm calling you, from my cell phone." <this is repeated with two new phone numbers and several representatives before I finally get a very pleasant and knowledgeable woman who knows which buttons to press on her phone to help me out> So I'm chatting with her, she assures me that FiOS is available at the new house and I won't have to go with Millenium. Hooray! "Now, lets just decide which package or packages you want and I'll get the order put in for you." Great! We talk, I settle on just what I want; everything, extra cheese. Now, I just need to set up an installation date. How soon do I want it? Yesterday, please! She offers to give me the absolute earliest appointment they have available because I work midnights and I can be available any day at any time they need me to be. Great! "How's March 26th?" Excuse me? A month from today is the earliest you can give me internet and television? "I'm sorry, yes." <she explains to me why they are so backed up, it's a reasonable explanation, but doesn't help me get service at my new house any sooner. She even called the service technicians directly and asked about any earlier cancellations. No dice.

So there we have it. I have no internet at the new house for another month. Because I can't live that long without an internet connection, this means that I will be leaving my service in place at the old apartment and coming by periodically to check things like email and these very forums. For a month. :smallsigh:

Okay, rant over. Thank you for reading. :smallcool:

Oh, poor Zeb. I feel for you, I really do. And I thought I had it bad when I only had internet on the weekends...

[I'm da Rogue!]

This sucks, Zeb.
But this also means that you have more time for other stuff.
You cans see lots of movies, for example.

I can't really give any advice, but you can see the good side of it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHPOzQzk9Qo)

[wadledo]

Poor Zeb.
And, once you have Verizon, you'll have to deal with all the little quirks that come with it.
The internet going down when some one uses the phone, a wireless service that could make Gandi swear like a sailor, and on call help that takes automation way to far.

Huhhhhhhh.:smallsigh:

[Supagoof]

Zeb,

We're going to need a few names of technicians, a lincoln town car, some rope, some silver paint, and someone to act as a decoy.

I tell you, stringing someone up in the bayou, naked, painted silver, will pretty much convince them they have "time" to install internet and tv service.

What do you mean that's probably not legal? Just look over there! *points to someone acting like a decoy. Runs away.*

[I'm da Rogue!]

Emos have no bottom worth oggling.

I think I will sig that.

[North]

Thats sucks Zeb. Is there someone in your area who offers portable internet? Rogers up here offers a portable internet thing. (http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=ISP&product=2613046) Its sucky, but you can buy it then refund it within 30 days. Better then having to keep trekking back to the old apartment at least. You can buy it in the store and then set it up at home yourself.

[Jibar]

*points to someone acting like a decoy.*

It's Hammer Time ya'll. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoN6XfyQsr4)

I also really really want food, but I know I shouldn't eat.

Edit: and after reading what I was asleep for, I'm considering taking a picture of my butt for the You thread so ya'll can oogle whenever you want.
That's right. I'm bringing sexy back.

[Dr. Bath]

Yay! Jibar is linking more music I've been listening to recently. Waaait.

Jibar! Get outta my head! Stop stealing the music from me!

Also, I should be giving blood in a week or so, as long as I don't go down with a cold.

And cargo trousers are the best.

[Alarra]

*sighs at Zeb's rant*...

So...my plans for spending all of spring break looking for and applying for jobs, while setting up our house isn't going to work all that well is it?

*makes plans to spend a portion of each day I'm there at some coffee shop that's bound to have internet closer to us than all the way over at your old apartment*

[Thanatos 51-50]

Also, I should be giving blood in a week or so, as long as I don't go down with a cold.

And cargo trousers are the best.

Last time I gave blood, I nearly passed out, and I hate feeling helpless like that *shudder*.

Additionally, I prefer jeans.

[Jack Squat]

I don't like giving blood because I keep hearing how bad the people are at taking it. Even with larger, more visible vains like the ones I have, it's apparantly taken several tries for the technician to get it in the right area. I get that story from my girlfriend, who mentioned it happening to her dad. I know it's not the norm, but my luck I'd have that person.

Also, I really like cargos or carpenter jeans. If it doesn't have more than 4 pockets, I probably won't wear it too often.

Jeans are more durable though, I've definetly put my fair share of holes through both to know.

I used to donate plasma (where they spin the white cells out and pump the red cells back in, so you can do it more often) twice a week, every week. But no longer. Paid about 70 dollars a week, which, in the end, is a rent payment. *Woot* for broke college students.

Zeb:
I use Verizon.
But I don't have anything "installed" per se.
I have a USB modem (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=3324&changingCompletedOrder=) that's basically plug and play. I stick it in my laptop, and anywhere that my phone gets service, I'm on the net. On the train, in a car, anywhere.

Check it out.

[Skippy]

Here's a little silly joke for you all:

Two markets are flying, and then one says to the other:
"Hey, why are we flying? We're markets!"
And the other one answers: "That's because we're SUPER markets"

OK that was silly.

@Zeb: That sucks man. I can find a decoy for Goof's plan, though.

Yes, parasitic, isn't it? The plasma centers are third party companies. They pay donors some piddly double-digit amount (depending on weight class,) and sell the plasma to hospitals to make clotting factors for upwards of a thousand dollars. After they pay us, and pay for supplies, then pay their own employees, I think they still make a pretty hefty profit in the end.

I did some drug testing in college (pharmaceutical where i actually got paid not experimental.) Anyways they would require you to stay overnight for like 4 days and draw blood and all sorts of stuff depending on the study but for one week i made close to $2000 and it's a bursary so no taxes! There are alot of requirements and an extensive screening process but it was fun and i'd do it again in a minute.

[Mordokai]

For $2000 they can have all my blood! :smallsmile:

Seriously, I wouldn't hesitate a minute as well.

[Cobra_Ikari]

For $2000 they can have all my blood! :smallsmile:

$2000 seems cheap for a likely painful suicide...

[Mordokai]

Ok, ok, they can have it in multiple doses :smallsmile: Does that sound better?

But really, two thousand dollars are a lot! I wouldn't commit suicide for it, but I would participate in a test that would get me such amount and seemed pretty safe.

Lucky. I had root canal surgery this monday. Anesthesia failed to work on the tissue for the better part of an hour due to its huge inflammation. Which, incidentally, did not prevent the endodontist from working on it.

At least they tried to cure your teeth, they're gonna remove a few of mine as they think it won't do much use if they try to fix it.

Luckily enough, they're gonna do it under complete anesthesia, also known as narcosis.

Picnics, maybe? Or Snickers?

[Cobra_Ikari]

Yes we do...I think? I know we had them when I was a kid...

...I think it's similar to a 3 Musketeers?

EDIT: I was wrong, it's like a Milky Way. And they say they're not marketed in the US, but I know I've gotten one here before!

[RandomLogic]

My local deli/pantry/beer store has a great sandwich selection, what they call the elvis is a Peanut Butter and Bananas* sandwich that they grill then serve all warm and gooey. It is fantastic.

*for whatever reason, and I am ashamed to admit it, typing bananas immediately makes me think of the Gwen Stefani song and I hear here spelling b-a-n-a-n-a-s....

[Dragonrider]

I'd totally sign a document in my own blood for $2000. Unless the document involved things I wouldn't do for $2000.


Mars Bars are just quite old candy, not around much.

[Serpentine]

Still around! I can get em here. They are excellent as well. But I pretty much like anything with peanut butter...Mars Bars... with peanut butter?! o.O Right, that does it, I'm looking these things up. The ones I know have chocolate moussey nougat whip stuff with caramel on top covered in chocolate.
Ah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Bars), US Milky Way is like our Mars Bar, and their 3 Muskateers is like our Milky Way.

edit: Huh. Looks like deep fried Mars Bars are actually a distinctly not American thing... I'm sure I've heard of something similar, though.

[SweetLikeLemons]

Hmm, the Mars Bars that I had were basically Snickers with almonds, and when they disappeared from the vending machine, they were replaced with Snickers Almonds, which were identical. So maybe they just changed the name?

Edit: Ah, same name, different candy bar. Nevermind.

[EmeraldRose]

I have rediscovered a love of Milky Way bars lately...now if only they were dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate...:smallsigh:

Well he did say in an interview that he hadn't done a show sober in 15 years, so one would assume....

On the topic of British food, if any of you are ever in New York City there is a magnificent fish and chips place called "A Salt and Battery", which is also the best resteraunt name ever. :smallbiggrin:

Heh...from what I've heard about the Minnesota State Fair, you can get just about any food fried and on a stick.

key lime pie on a stick sounds really darn good.

[Jack Squat]

I don't believe there's any mint in there...but I could be wrong.


yeah, Milky Way Midnites are Dark Chocolate, caramel, and a marshmellow-y type filling.

*drools*

...great, now I want some.

[Serpentine]

Speaking of food, I made some really tasty pasta last night. It was a sauce made of cream, chicken breast (chopped), mushrooms (sliced), parmesan cheese and salt and pepper on a big flat pasta starting with "p" that I can't remember the name of (kinda like fettacini, but a lot bigger). I just finished the leftovers then... Mmmmm.

[Haruki-kun]

I grew up on Milky Ways. I love them both, Normal and Midnight.

It was years before we got Midnight here, but when we did...... O.O

Man, I want some now....

I was looking at various wrappers of what i thought were all chocolate bars tonight and to my suprise i discovered that 90% aren't even chocolate bars but are variations of waffer bars, candy bars, energy bars, etc. Did you guys know that a 'Mars bar' is considered an energy bar?

How's a Mars bar an energy bar? I know it's basically the same as our Milky Way...and those aren't near considered energy bars.

Well...there are some Snickers infused with ginseng, but not the point.

[InaVegt]

Unless your milky way is very different from our milky way, not they're not all that similar. Mars is for the most part burned sugar, milky way is for the most part some sort of cream.

You've got that one right. Here in Twin Cities, Since Comcast took over for Time Warner, they've raised cable prices, and taken away channels. They're also the only option for cable in the area, and we don't want a dish, so we're stuck with one of the worst customer friendly services there are. It's situations like this where I miss Antietam Cable.



I have two options that don't involve shoving a dish in my roof, which I don't want and won't give me phone/internet service anyway. One is Millenium, which only has speeds that Craptastic International Junk DSL Incorporated has surpassed years ago. The other is Verizon. Okay, this is fine. I'll look into their FiOS service, that has promise and is comparably priced with cable modem service.


The deciding factor in cable providers is who layed the cable. There's an agreement with all cable companies that whichever company installed the cables in the area, gets exclusive rights to that area. I've discovered that once in a blue moon, you get two companies that put down stuff in the same area, and you get a choice.

With Cat-Muffins of dubious intentions.

You have been warned.

Someday, I hope to answer the phone as;
"Hello, Acme Detective Agency. If you're calling about Wally, we can't find him, we're afraid Mystery Inc is out at the vet, Batman is unavailable at this time, Rorsharch hasn't shown up for work in months, MacGuyver is currently locked in a stroreroom with a paperclip, lawn mower and three sheets of music trying to deactivate a nuclear device and please, please, if you're calling about Carmen SanDiego, we're got no idea where in the world she is.
Now, how may I help you?"

Poor, poor Rorschach. *hugs "face" sadly*

How does one go about forming such an agency?

Normally, the webcomic VideoGame Cats is full of rape jokes and senseless violence. But I found this strip in particular really cute, especially if you like Kirby:

I could identify about 30 of these references without looking at the legend. I think my favourite is No. 37, the 'Krug' Kirby, though the 'V' Kirby (No. 94) is pretty awesome, as is the Bowser Kirby (No. 4).

Isn't #85 a bit redundant?

I personally prefer the Torchfork! It combines the pokeyness of a Pitchfork with the Burnination of a torch! At the low, low price of 2399, it is also quite affordable. Furthermore, I have 500 in stock for immediate distribution if you want to start a mob. Bulk Rates are available.

*shuddershuddershudder*

I don't like Control Alt Delete anymore, it just seems so...lazy. In both art and story.

And I always like saying 'tarradiddle'.

Heehee!

Tarradiddle.

[FireFox]

I smelled thefire and came here as fast as I could! Who should I burn?
What? Cobra? that can't be right... Unless all of your kindness was just a cover up... I knew no mortal could be that nice!

*sets everything on fire* Of course, cuz DnD is satanic we all must be witches and therefore should all be burned. :smalltongue: :smallwink: :smallbiggrin:
