Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185

[LaZodiac]

I'm hungry! D:

Finally, someone else who has expieranced the pains of being me!

In all seriousness, get some food man. Good luck!

[MoonCat]

I really. REEEEEEALLY don't like cats.

Frak you too, buddy!

ION: Tried a Twinkie for the first time yesterday. They're terrible. I ad about a eclair and a half this morning though, which was nice.

How could you only eat HALF an eclair? When I eat one Eclair I have to atleast eat 19 more before I'm satisfied. You astound me that you could stop eating halfway through one.

[Mutant Sheep]

... TWINKIES NO. Gee, thanks for reminding me Moonie.

[MoonCat]

Because I only had two eclairs in the first place, and the other half was consumed by all the folks begging me for a bite.

Also, are you sure you know what eclairs are? Because a full-sized eclair is usually eaten on its own, possibly wth a second. There is no way you would eat 19 of them.

... TWINKIES NO. Gee, thanks for reminding me Moonie.

What's the problem? Even if you don't find them kind of yucky, as I did, you still don't care about them that much, I'm sure. You never even mentioned them until Hostess closed, you're only sad because of nostalgia.

CHOCOLATE enclairs.

Nah, i havent had a twinkie in many years. They are kind of poison to me. (More than they are to another, at least.). Wheat is bad.

In all seriousness, get some food man. Good luck!

I got a cheeseburger and I'm almost done with planning my novel!

Frak you too, buddy!

You're a SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE cat. I am perfectly willing to like a cat if SPACE is involved.

Nostalgia is a perfectly valid reason to be sad Moonie and you should be ashamed of yourself for mocking someone else's distress.

I know what eclairs are, but I wonder if you're talking about a DIFFERENT eclair then I am. When I say eclair, I'm talking about Chocolate Eclairs, which are bite sized pastries with chocolate sauce on them and whip creme inside of them.

What are YOU talking about?

At an educated guess, he's probably talking about something similar to these

No, probably these.

Also, Mooncat is a she.

What are YOU talking about?

What I think of as eclairs are like that, but not bitesize. Roughly as long as a paperback book, about half an inch thick. Note that this is based entirely on vague memory.

Also, its usually pastry filling instead of whipped cream.

[MoonCat]

CHOCOLATE enclairs.

Yes, I had a chocolate eclair.

So why the heck were you mourning?

The moon isn't space!

I wasn't mocking him.

What are YOU talking about?

I'm talking about large pastries covered in chocolate, with cream on the inside.

At an educated guess, he's probably talking about something similar to these

Nope. And I'm a dude, not a guy.

No, probably these.

Also, Mooncat is a she.

Yes, that's it, although the local ones have chocolate on them instead of whatever it is in that picture.

Yep.

I think the proportions are different, and no, there's a pastry shell filled with cream, and the shell is covered with chocolate. But yeah, it's basically a large version of what LaLa described.

[LaZodiac]

Aaah. I still think I could eat 20 of those in one sitting. But I can definitly understand it, then

[Heliomance]

No. My bed.
And I agree. Dubstep is horrible. Though I respect that other people enjoy it and merely request that they keep it on a lower volume when I am nearby.

Only most of it. Some of it is really rather amazing.

[HalfTangible]

The moon isn't space!

I wasn't mocking him.

It's IN space, though

Looked like it

[Mauve Shirt]

You know what's scary? A flat tire in the middle of the night on an on ramp in a place you're not really familiar with. Fml.

[MoonCat]

I asked him why he was mourning Twinkies when I was under the impression that he was. The only thing other than that was me saying that I didn't like them, and that it seemed like he only mourned them because of nostalgia. Neither of these fit under the definition of mocking anything. If there's any fault you feel you must find in that, it would be insensitivity, but at no point do I "tease or laugh" at his statement/emotions "in a scornful or contemptuous manner."

Celiac? Or simply wheat allergy? Either way, I can send you some FANTASTIC gluten-free recipes that my mom adapted from my grandmother's gluten-ful recipes after my dad and both my sisters were diagnosed with celiac.

ION: HOOOOOOOMMMMMMMEE! IT'S SO GOOD TO BE HOME FOR THANKSGIIIIVIIIINGGG! And I get to BAKE tomorrow, and it's going to be a GOOD DAY and I'm HOME.

Celiac. And I have managed for 5 years now, I'm pretty laden with good recipes already. And by that, I mean my mom is. I suck at food. Struggle with making pasta, sometimes.

[Rawhide]

A congratulatory speech for certain occasions. They give them at funerals too (at least, I think that's the word for it).

Until today, I have only heard it to refer to the speech at a funeral about the deceased. My dictionary is telling me that the secondary definition can mean any such speech, but I'd be wary about using it for that as some people might not be as impressed.

[Amidus Drexel]

I suck at food. Struggle with making pasta, sometimes.

That sounds only slightly worse than my own cooking skills. I can make pasta, hamburgers, eggs, sandwiches, and things that only require warming up, and that's about it.

Don't worry; you can live on just those.

ION: HOOOOOOOMMMMMMMEE! IT'S SO GOOD TO BE HOME FOR THANKSGIIIIVIIIINGGG! And I get to BAKE tomorrow, and it's going to be a GOOD DAY and I'm HOME.

Ah, good. You should send us all some cake.

(Personally, I don't like being at home (there are way too many people in my house, especially near holidays), but I'm probably the minority here)

Well, that sucks. Hope you can get another quickly (tire, that is).

We should use it for every speech, just in case they die while we're talking.

[AsteriskAmp]

I really. REEEEEEALLY don't like cats.

Nothing honey mustard and salt can't fix.

You know what's scary? A flat tire in the middle of the night on an on ramp in a place you're not really familiar with. Fml.

I sympathise and have been there; I just kept going until I got to a lit place and out of the ramp ignoring the probable damage in lieu of the possible more horrible dangers.

I hope everything turned out/turns out fine.

I also have only heard it in relation to the speeches made for departed ones.

Don't worry; you can live on just those.

You can actually live on pasta alone, I do for months. SO MUCH VARIETY!

You can have ravioli, spaghetti, lasagne, cannelloni, risotto, tagliatelle and many many more, you can have them in many types of made up, from egg based to purely wheat based; and if you start considering sauces the possibilities are bigger than possible with a normal breakfast-lunch-dinner schedule for 100 years meaning you could eat a different pasta each day without repeating until you die.

It's not: don't worry you can live on those; it's more like "don't bother, everything else is not as good."

[Dimonite]

I still might send you our recipe for pumpkin dessert; IT IS THE BEST THING. And my mom didn't come up with THAT adaptation for about a decade after my sister was first diagnosed (she was diagnosed a year before I was born). But it's actually been pretty awesome seeing awareness of celiac grow just in my lifetime. When I was little, we'd tell people my sisters and dad couldn't have bread, and they'd just be like "oh, that thing I've never heard of sounds terrible!" Now they're like "Oh, did you hear Betty Crocker is doing gluten-free stuff now?" (hint: we HAVE already.) But hooray for my family being able to eat in restaurants!

Ah, good. You should send us all some cake.

(Personally, I don't like being at home (there are way too many people in my house, especially near holidays), but I'm probably the minority here)

You know I would if I could afford the postage.

I like being home because my siblings are my best friends, and I actually LIKE my parents (shocking, I know) and the piano here is SO MUCH better than the one at school.

Heh, good point. Steak and pizza are too good to eat only pasta though. I'm not really a chef either; my stepmom could easily do all of that (she differs rather much from me in that nature), but I would rather just make linguine in a vodka sauce over and over again.

You are not alone!

Except on the piano part, I return to my high school just to get to play the piano while everyone else is in classes.

And the siblings part, they are not so much friends as a category on their own, but we get along fine.

What piano do you have?

Why not have them all simultaneously?

Steak is fantastic with many types of pasta, mainly bolognesa and pomodoro but also works fantastically with pretty much anything. Pizza... not easy to mix with pasta... but possible.

Ham or Prosciutto for the Sauce?

Doesn't sound bad, actually.

I'm sure there's a pasta-pizza mix somewhere.

Isn't prosciutto just a fancy type of ham? (or is it pork? I know it's meat of some sort...)

Well, our piano is an electric one and not even all that fancy, but the one at school is out of tune, it has a lousy tone, the second E above middle C doesn't work, and the pedal only occasionally functions.

I'm still jealous of my friend Alex, though. He has a Bösendorfer and he doesn't even like playing piano.

Prosciutto is uncooked ham; ham is prosciutto cotto or cooked prosciutto.

The difference in taste is very noticeable considering ham is normally more "meat-ish" tasting than prosciutto.

Considered tuning it yourself? Even if you can't pull it perfectly it will send them into alarm mode and get them to get it tuned.

An unloved Bösendorfer...

That is absolutely not fair in terms of cosmic retribution... those things are... glorious, magnificent and bloody damn expensive as well as full sounding.

Rescue that poor piano, free it, wheel it and take it where it can be properly played.

Hehe. I can make a perfect lemon meringue, and I've ruined every pot of pasta I've ever attempted.

ION: Sipping tea out of a fancy teacup while pumpkin pie I made on a whim is in the oven. Even the internet is peaceful. I love it when this happens.

Also, guys, have I mentioned I'm going to Prague this winter? It's gonna be so awesome. Sorry if I have mentioned it already, I'm just really excited.
