House of Much Random Banter and Haluesen's Various Wondrous Cookies #197

[Elemental]

You know what I meant. Also: It hasn't kept you all alive, or no one would know that they're lethally venomous.

It's an ASCII-based game; I've got no choice.

Nah, just throw it all together. Doesn't have to look pretty, just has to taste good.

Jet, for one. Good band. There are others. Most of my music is American, north/west European, or British, though, so I can't say I know very much.

Not sleep, but relaxation is close enough.

People who go around annoying wildlife don't get much sympathy from me.

I suppose there is that... Just make sure to leave enough letters around in case of emergencies.

That's what I meant. Taste is most important after all.

As I said, I wouldn't really know. I do live under a rock after all.

Indeed it is. One of these days, I will acquire a book on the language of flowers and tell you exactly what flowers you should have at your funeral.

Hmm, so would your opinion of me have changed if I had become an aunty instead of an unca?

Indeed, it's a terrible thing to be contagious. And an even more terrible thing to want to link most Sexual Lobster flashes... XD


Was there ever any doubt? Please Report to your nearest Purification Specialist Model Anthro Unit Immediately.

Well, I wouldn't have expected such an occurrence, so I suppose yes. How it would change, I don't know. The change of gender would be a neutral event on the opinion meter, becoming an aunt raises it slightly, and from here it gets complicated.

I could not agree more. I wouldn't want to usher in a terrible pestilence that ends society as we know it. Plus, I can't rise a horse so I'd look pretty foolish if that ever happened. Oh you and your crazy links...

Hmm... I can't do immediately... But I will be in contact about rescheduling that appointment.

The one band that both Scots and Aussies claim to be theirs.

*shrug* I just consider the aesthetics.

Yeah, kinda figured it'd be like that.

I don't really know, I've never had an aunt, just great aunties that seem to be dropping dead as of late... Only have two uncles too, so. Hrm.

They can get their own bands.

That's also important, but when you can fit in extra meanings, it's even better. But that may be just because I occasionally like to keep secrets and/or do that little bit of extra work. I like symbolism sometimes.

Biology is unfortunately annoying. It is the bane of my existence.

Great Aunts are even better. It is indeed unfortunate that one's older relatives reach the end of their lives just as one gets old enough to speak to them as an adult.
You have my sympathy.

Well, there is one weekly market, but they mostly deal in fresh greens and clothes and accessories, and no, no fairs selling gemstones, at least not in my town (and I think we'd actually call them something Swedish )...

Hmm, perhaps you could try to go for something slightly larger than a ring, like a buckle or a necklace... A cape buckle would be quite awesome, if requiring a cape to show off...

Ahh, good, I got the idea that you had yet to visit a doctor when you wrote all that.

And while that's true over here as well, it isn't everywhere...

Huh... Odd...
Well, of course you'd use a Swedish term for it, hence the "or something".

Now I am in need of a cape with an elegant clasp of silver and either rough citrine or amethyst. I just need to see about getting a good cape. One that looks good rather than terrible if I tried it myself.

I can understand the ambiguity.

Well, you're half right. Australians definitely live in the future.

It is true. However, I have the unfortunate duty to inform you that the future isn't all that amazing. But we're working on it for when you people finally catch up.

How's everyone doing tonight?

Reasonably. Listening to old music for no good reason.
I am rather tired now that I think of it. I should set out in a crystal ship across a sea of silver to the Island of Peaceful Dreams and lie amongst the grass beneath the stars... If only such places truly existed.

[Amidus Drexel]

How odd is odd? And it's okay, it'll work out.

Wall of text + next to no punctuation (except for periods/question marks). I have gotten used to it, though.

I suppose there is that... Just make sure to leave enough letters around in case of emergencies.

That's what I meant. Taste is most important after all.

As I said, I wouldn't really know. I do live under a rock after all.

Well, they keep coming back, so I don't think we've got anything to fear. Plus, I'm only killing the uppercase letters.

Forsooth.

*lifts up rock* Come on out, Elemental! There's a whole world here!

Indeed it is. One of these days, I will acquire a book on the language of flowers and tell you exactly what flowers you should have at your funeral.

It is true. However, I have the unfortunate duty to inform you that the future isn't all that amazing. But we're working on it for when you people finally catch up.

Bah, I'll never die.

Heh

What reason would there be not to listen to old music? There's plenty of good old music!

I don't think I can help you with the rest, but I can find you a crystal ship, at least.

[FinnLassie]

Well there are bears out here, but I don't know any place where you can go get it to eat, and I don't know anyone who hunts, so it is unavailable to me. Even if I could hunt I would be way too terrified to go after one for food unless desperate. As far as animals go my fears are bears, then above that sharks, then just above that bearsharks. Tigers and lions are close to bear. Also stinging or biting insects, those don't count as animals to me though.

There is but one corner here, but out in the world there are more corners. Do you hope to conquer them all and grow many thistles? If so I would gladly help.

Oh I typically see axes as a tool rather than a weapon too, but this was modeled after old medieval battleaxes. This was not something you used casually. Hehe elephant butter!

You'd probably find a place with google, aye? There must be some game restaurant around there. I mean, It's Californyuh and everything.
Tiny spiders are the only creepy thing. And moths. *shudder*

No, no. I came here to cry when Amifool was being a meanie to me, and then he declares that it's his corner. That's when I decided to move in, just to spite him. And also steal his musics. Our cohabitation in the corner has been a relative success in my opinion. I mean, I got him to put shelves on these white walls! *pats her plants*

Dunno, battles must have been rather casual at least in some places...

According to Wikipedia, it's properly called a berliner, but is often referred to as a bismark by Midwesterners and Canadians. It also lists such variations as the aforementioned "Boston cream doughnut."

Were you here when I was talking about putting Jell-o in hamburgers?

But hey, if you don't like sweets that's fine - more for me!

What you described doesn't sound like a berliner to me... Hmm. And I quite like berliners, when I'm on a sweet mood.

*barf*

Beware, Amidus might snatch them first.

In all honesty, it really does taste good. You'd be missing out if you turned it down.

I don't remember trying to kick you out... I remember wanting to kick you out, but then you informed me that the plants were chilies, and you gave me cake.

I like how it goes all silent and sort of vanishes the moment I show it affection.

Why... Why would you put it in a bread?

You might've not tried to do that physically, but the emotional pressure has been there. But, I will not fall down from that!

Would you have the world be any other way? You can always tell a lot about a person based upon how they approach and think about food. You can tell that I'm a culturally imperialist swine based upon how I really like pork and whenever I encounter foreign cuisine and begin to understand it I want to apply and mix it with my knowledge of my own ethnic cuisine. Amidus is quite correct about Manwich being the superior brand though. There is, however, something to be said for making it yourself.

What in particular don't you do? Crumble up cooked ground beef rather than forming it into patties prior to cooking? Incorporate vegetables into a sauce? Eat a thick sauce as part of a sandwich?

Never heard of children not wanting to eat vegetables or otherwise being difficult about it? A common technique for dealing with it is to puree the vegetables and incorporate them into a sauce or stew or other food where the child won't notice their presence. Sort of like weaning your pet turtle to eat carrots by feeding it a mixture of carrots and ground beef and slowly changing the ratio of carrot to beef until there's no more beef.

That's more than I've gotten to have it at least. Still jelly, but less so. ...I want both a pet bear and to eat a bear at the same time right now.

Hrm. Dunno. Food is essential, and it's good if it tastes nice, but you're possibly right. Doesn't apply to everyone though, but I could imagine that from the majority you can judge their background based on their food habits as well.
Your ethnic cuisine, mixing it with other things? What, how KFC would match with couscous? I jest, I jest.

The last. *shudder* Just... it's so messy... And it must sound really bad too...

Dunno, I have never had problems with vegetables as a child. I was the only kid that didn't have any problems with any other food than the basic mashed potatoes and meatballs like my siblings did. Some children actually avoid vegetables because they do not like the texture and are oversensitive to it, and start to associate that uncomfortable texture with the taste. *shrug*

Bear jelly would actually taste super nice, I think. Pork jelly's super good, so why not bear...

They can get their own bands.

That's also important, but when you can fit in extra meanings, it's even better. But that may be just because I occasionally like to keep secrets and/or do that little bit of extra work. I like symbolism sometimes.

Great Aunts are even better. It is indeed unfortunate that one's older relatives reach the end of their lives just as one gets old enough to speak to them as an adult.
You have my sympathy.

Mmh, probably. I've just faced the issue where I like some flowers a lot, but for example when we've been talking about ideal wedding bouquets (hey, I can dream ) back in school I've been taunted for the idea of having death and negative emotion related flowers in my ideal combinations. What the heck? Why do some people care so much about some silly meanings someone has made up, it's just a bunch of flowers? They look nice together, that's all! *rant rant rant*

My gran and great aunts from mum's side keep on fighting who makes the best cabbage casserole, and they always wonder why I think one of them makes the best stuff even though they all use the same recipe. Ah well. More food for me.

*nod nod* Something I need to come to terms with.

[Amidus Drexel]

I believe it was more a compromise of "I'll stop objecting if you bribe me with food."

Bah.

The last. *shudder* Just... it's so messy... And it must sound really bad too...

In bread? It goes on a sandwich, Lassie.

Sure, sure.

Well, they don't call it Sloppy Joe for nothing. They can be eaten without making a mess, but it takes some practice.

[FinnLassie]

Believe what you want to believe, youngling.



A matter of translation. Bread, sandwich, it's the same in Finnish.

Well, knowing myself with anything that describes itself messy, I'll just have to dream on and keep on avoiding foods that end up going derpy. The only meals I skipped in school were tortillas. *shudder* Well, I learned how to fold it properly after I quit school, but... Memories remain.

That sounds about right.

Not a hearty bread, just a light white bite of bun.

ION: I believe it's time for me to go get slaughtered again... TO ROGUE!

Yeah, I never quite got why they put that class in there.

[LaZodiac]

I think it's let me go free, but I haven't looked up the lyrics yet. And I've only listened to it more than twenty times today. >.<

The version I found has that line. Truth be told I'd have the line just be "What kind of devil is he, to have me trapped and set me free?"

Flows much better.

If you're going to call me young, I'm going to call you old.



Hrm... What do you use for just bread, then?

Nah, it's fine! I can eat them almost entirely without spilling any delicious meat/sauce. Same with tortillas; you've just got to know how to go about it.

That sounds about right.

Yeah, I never quite got why they put that class in there.

Class? I speak of a different rogue; not a class at all, BUT THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME!*

*Note: may contain hyperbole.

[Coidzor]

Oh, did I mention that I changed a baby for the first time yesterday?

That was weird. Thankfully did not go as badly as I expected it too, though he did **** himself within moments of his mother taking him back after I finished taping the new diaper in place.

People who go around annoying wildlife don't get much sympathy from me.

As I said, I wouldn't really know. I do live under a rock after all.

Indeed it is. One of these days, I will acquire a book on the language of flowers and tell you exactly what flowers you should have at your funeral.

What, you mean, like, people who go outside? Who go for walks on the sidewalk? Who hike on established hiking paths?

Well, add some roll to the rock and you can live under rock'n'roll.

All of them. Just as a slap in the face to everyone who knows the language of flowers. Because you're dead and who cares if you're rude to the people at your funeral from beyond the grave?

Well, I wouldn't have expected such an occurrence, so I suppose yes. How it would change, I don't know. The change of gender would be a neutral event on the opinion meter, becoming an aunt raises it slightly, and from here it gets complicated.

I could not agree more. I wouldn't want to usher in a terrible pestilence that ends society as we know it. Plus, I can't rise a horse so I'd look pretty foolish if that ever happened. Oh you and your crazy links...

Hmm... I can't do immediately... But I will be in contact about rescheduling that appointment.

Well, I suppose it is harder on woman cubs than on man cubs, growing up in the world today, yeah. I imagine a niece would have been about the same as a nephew at this point. ...Not sure if it would be more or less awkward to change a niece's diaper over a nephew's diaper though.

Oh, you. That's like, 10 steps past contagious. You infect everyone while you're still like the common cold. THEN you crank up the lethality.

Processing... Processing... Initiating Standard Reclamation Protocols.

Biology is unfortunately annoying. It is the bane of my existence.

Great Aunts are even better. It is indeed unfortunate that one's older relatives reach the end of their lives just as one gets old enough to speak to them as an adult.
You have my sympathy.

Annoying, but invigorating too.

It's one of those messy things that always convince me we should probably re-write a particular component of our existence.

Reasonably. Listening to old music for no good reason.
I am rather tired now that I think of it. I should set out in a crystal ship across a sea of silver to the Island of Peaceful Dreams and lie amongst the grass beneath the stars... If only such places truly existed.

What more reason do you need than music? Sounds like a fun ship.

What reason would there be not to listen to old music? There's plenty of good old music!

I don't think I can help you with the rest, but I can find you a crystal ship, at least.

More old than new, IIRC.

Yay!

Hrm. Dunno. Food is essential, and it's good if it tastes nice, but you're possibly right. Doesn't apply to everyone though, but I could imagine that from the majority you can judge their background based on their food habits as well.

Some children actually avoid vegetables because they do not like the texture and are oversensitive to it, and start to associate that uncomfortable texture with the taste. *shrug*

Bear jelly would actually taste super nice, I think. Pork jelly's super good, so why not bear...

Technically it'd be trying to figure out how to make everything into a hot brown variant. *shudder* That, or burgoo, the stew that's only done when a opossum falls into it. And, y'know, meatloaf. Chicken Salad.

It doesn't really sound all that different from eating a sandwich or hamburger Nor is it particularly messy as long as you do the sauce thick and/or don't overburden the bread. Then again, some people find overburdening the bread to part of the fun.

Interesting. The true omnivore babby. I think I've mentioned that just the smell of beans cooking caused me to make a vomitous mess of things, so my parents learned to only cook them while I was out somewhere until I hit about 4 or so and could be released in the backyard unattended for lengths of time to play with the dog and swing set.

Bear jelly? I've only heard of piggy jelly and that's because of Earthbound/Mother 3.

I believe it was more a compromise of "I'll stop objecting if you bribe me with food."

Well, they don't call it Sloppy Joe for nothing. They can be eaten without making a mess, but it takes some practice.

Ahh, food bribery. An ancientk convention.

Takes all kinds. *shrug* Always left bits and bobs on the plate, but that just meant you could sop it up with your backup bread.

[FinnLassie]

Not a hearty bread, just a light white bite of bun.

Hearty.. bread?

Is meat jelly not a common thing?

If you're going to call me young, I'm going to call you old.

Hrm... What do you use for just bread, then?

Nah, it's fine! I can eat them almost entirely without spilling any delicious meat/sauce. Same with tortillas; you've just got to know how to go about it.

Hey! I'm not old! I'm just starting to ripen!

I uh, don't understand the question here. Seems like bread is making me vey confused today...

I think you would anything with all the joy, messy or not.

[Feytalist]

Is meat jelly not a common thing?

It is over here.

Course, we call it something else. But it's surprisingly difficult to translate. Some sort of...concentrated stock? But not even really.

[Coidzor]

Hearty.. bread?

Is meat jelly not a common thing?

Hey! I'm not old! I'm just starting to ripen!

I think you would anything with all the joy, messy or not.

Thick bread with good structural integrity rather than el cheapo "sandwich" bread that is typically available. Think real bread versus something like wonderbread or some similar mass-produced bread. I'm sure that Britain at least has something analogous even if Finland has been spared from such debased bread.

Not in the U.S. at least.

The way folks talk about it, you're not done ripening till about your late 20s, early 30s anyway. *shrug* I always found that all it took to make me ripe was two days of rigorous activity and no shower.

Amidus is fairly joyous, aye. Some foods just take a knack, like properly twirling spaghetti.

[Cuthalion]

Class? I speak of a different rogue; not a class at all, BUT THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME!.[/SIZE]

Ah. I was thinking Angband.

Hearty.. bread?

Is meat jelly not a common thing?

Not heavy or anything, light and fluffy.

Not especially, at least as far as Western cuisine goes. Don't know about strange folk like Amidus.

[Amidus Drexel]

Oh, did I mention that I changed a baby for the first time yesterday?

That was weird. Thankfully did not go as badly as I expected it too, though he did **** himself within moments of his mother taking him back after I finished taping the new diaper in place.

More old than new, IIRC.

You had not.

Heh

Eh... depends on what you call "new". If you mean only things released this decade? Yeah, sure, the old things win out by sheer volume. There's plenty of good new(ish) music out there, though; some of my favorite albums were released this year or last year.

Yay!

Ahh, food bribery. An ancientk convention.

Takes all kinds. *shrug* Always left bits and bobs on the plate, but that just meant you could sop it up with your backup bread.

Indeed. Even Sauron would agree: everyone needs more Doors.

Indubitably.

Indeed. But that's only after you've had a few sandwiches, so there's enough on the plate to wipe up properly.

Is meat jelly not a common thing?

Hey! I'm not old! I'm just starting to ripen!

I uh, don't understand the question here. Seems like bread is making me vey confused today...

Not around here, unless we've got a different name for it. It doesn't strike me as terribly odd, though.

So you say...

If you use "bread" to mean "sandwich", then what do you use to mean "bread"? Having them both be the same word is just silly.

I would definitely anything with all the joy.

Ah. I was thinking Angband.

Speak to me of this game, and tell me its secrets!

Amidus is fairly joyous, aye.

Only sometimes.

[Cuthalion]

Speak to me of this game, and tell me its secrets!

From what I can tell of Rogue, Angband is basically slightly more advanced. It's based off the fortress of Angband in the Silmarillion, and is D&D based. I think you'd like it. You can be different races and classes too. The thing is you have to download it, but it's quite fun.

[Teddy]

Oh yeah I have tons of wall space. And I am relatively sure it should be alright for me to set things up there. Unfortunately I am terrible at mentally picturing most things, so I only barely get what you mean. Tomorrow, a picture would be grand. But already I am liking the ideas. I'll probably post some pictures of them later, if that is allowed.

Here's a quick sketch of what I imagine, colour-coded for your convenience:

Spoiler

Show

And pictures of knives are totally allowed, it happens from time to time in the You! thread that someone showcases his or her collection of blades, and it has never been any trouble. For as long as they don't depict you stabbing anyone with them, you should be fine.

Also, Nalle, I would never consume you! You're not a bear that roams the forests, you're Nalle, the one who peacefully lies amongst the blueberries (whilst consuming them)!

:3

And what even better is, the blueberries around here haven't dried away!
*noms blueberries*

I've always thought that vegetable-hating children was something Hollywood had made up. I've never met any child which hate vegetables with such passion...

Arguably that should make his flesh more succulent and sweet, even as his cruelty knows no bounds.

I'm cruel!? :smallshockedsad:

I suppose there is that... Just make sure to leave enough letters around in case of emergencies.

In this case, I think the letters are the emergencies.

Huh... Odd...

I'll say the same about yours.

Now I am in need of a cape with an elegant clasp of silver and either rough citrine or amethyst. I just need to see about getting a good cape. One that looks good rather than terrible if I tried it myself.

Yeah, getting myself a good cape is one of my life goals. Preferably one looking like the back of a bird with a set of wings to wrap around myself if it gets cold. And a good silver clasp... :smalldreamy:

EDIT:

I uh, don't understand the question here. Seems like bread is making me vey confused today...

I think the source of confusion was that you said that it was a weird-or-something thing to put in bread, and Amidus (IIRC) corrected you with that it's put on bread, only he called the bread "sandwich"

Also, as far as names go, we Swedes call bread "bröd" and sandwish "macka".

[FinnLassie]

It is over here.

Course, we call it something else. But it's surprisingly difficult to translate. Some sort of...concentrated stock? But not even really.

Heh. Finnish language has many words for this lovely thing, all dependant on dialect I think. There's lihahyytelö which means meat jelly, then there's syltty, alatoopi... So on.

Thick bread with good structural integrity rather than el cheapo "sandwich" bread that is typically available. Think real bread versus something like wonderbread or some similar mass-produced bread. I'm sure that Britain at least has something analogous even if Finland has been spared from such debased bread.

I think I'm getting very confused over here, perhaps because I don't really know what a cheapo sandwich bread means to you... I'm a rye bread type of a person, anyways. Hmmmh.

BLASPHEMY! Burn the non-believers!

Ah, I have pleeeeeeeeenty of time then before I'm all good and ripened.

Not especially, at least as far as Western cuisine goes. Don't know about strange folk like Amidus.

Not around here, unless we've got a different name for it. It doesn't strike me as terribly odd, though.

Hmmh, wikipedia tells that the English name for this is head cheese.

Huh? Uh, well, bread is leipä... Well, sandwich is voileipä (butterbread, you know, spreading butter all over that thing, mm-hmm), but no one refers it as so that way. If we talk about a particular sandwich, we just say for example of a ham & cheese sandwich that it's kinkkujuustoleipä. At least where I'm from and how I've learned to express it...

.. Now, the amount of derpeage I've had lately... I think it's time to fix my sleeping somehow.

:3

And what even better is, the blueberries around here haven't dried away!
*noms blueberries*

Ah, that's excellent, then! =3 Mind sharing some with us... or at least, me? *puppyeyes*

I'm afraid not... some kids seem to utterly despise them.

Yes, they're the ones killing me.

He probably means really cheap, poorly-made white bread.



Hrm... TO WIKIPEDIA! Hrm... I think I've had something like this once or twice... maybe. I imagine it tastes pretty good, though.

Interesting.

Yesssssssss, you should sleep.

[LaZodiac]

Oh, did I mention that I changed a baby for the first time yesterday?

What'd you change him into ?

[Dimonite]

Dunno, battles must have been rather casual at least in some places...

Now I'm imagining a casual battle. "Dude, I think that guy might be trying to kill you." "Hmm? Oh, yeah, that. I'll take care of it after I finish my sandwich." "Nah, don't bother, I've got it." *casually rips attacker's head off* "Thanks, man."

What you described doesn't sound like a berliner to me... Hmm. And I quite like berliners, when I'm on a sweet mood.

Well, there are different ways of making them. I simply prefer the kind with chocolate frosting and custard filling.

*barf*

It's better than you would think! Like peanut butter on pizza!

Beware, Amidus might snatch them first.

*jealously guards his noms*

BLASPHEMY! Burn the non-believers!

Thank goodness dragonpuppies are fireproof.
And anyway, it's not my fault I've never had meat jelly! I'll eat any meat product at least once, it's just not really a thing over here.

Now I'm imagining a casual battle. "Dude, I think that guy might be trying to kill you." "Hmm? Oh, yeah, that. I'll take care of it after I finish my sandwich." "Nah, don't bother, I've got it." *casually rips attacker's head off* "Thanks, man."

ION: So there's a bird's nest in one of the trees by our house and one of the little baby birds just hatched and my mom got a picture and *incoherent gibberish*

I swear I've seen something like that before, almost verbatim.

D'aaaaw, also AAAAAAAAAH.

[Teddy]

Heh. Finnish language has many words for this lovely thing, all dependant on dialect I think. There's lihahyytelö which means meat jelly, then there's syltty, alatoopi... So on.

Well, the second one is definitely "sylta" in Swedish, and the third one "aladåb", but neither of those are much of a thing any longer, really...

Ah, that's excellent, then! =3 Mind sharing some with us... or at least, me? *puppyeyes*

Well, naturally! You'll just have to come over here, because frozen blueberries don't taste nearly as good, and it's kind of too far for me to mail them fresh. Plus, I'm not entirely sure the customs are going to approve of it either...

Also, did you notice my edit?

Sounds like what would happen if you dropped a bunch of way-too-high level heroes among a bunch of lowly mooks...

*baby birdie*

Naww, so cute! :3

But it looks so cold, where is the mammy bird? :smallworried:

[Rawhide]

People who go around annoying wildlife don't get much sympathy from me.

I go around annoying wildlife all the time. If I see some annoying wildlife, you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going around it rather than risk attracting its attention.

Lazoozl: I changed him from a pissy baby into a clean baby. Then he changed himself into a ****ty baby. You know that human transmutation is forbidden!

Well, there are different ways of making them. I simply prefer the kind with chocolate frosting and custard filling.

It's better than you would think! Like peanut butter on pizza!

Thank goodness dragonpuppies are fireproof.
And anyway, it's not my fault I've never had meat jelly! I'll eat any meat product at least once, it's just not really a thing over here.

But what kind of custard filling? Chocolate custard? almond custard? bourbon custard?

So you bought some of Mr. Saturn's peanut-cheese bars, eh?

Nah, you're just not using enough fire. Headcheese. You'll eat. Headcheese.

What, is it dead?

[Haluesen]

Holy geez! I sleep for a few hours and random banter just explodes with activity. I can't quite keep up with the many entwining conversations but I can respond to a few things. Also greetings everyone.

FrenchFreedom fries. Country-fried steak. Part of the problem is that the really good stuff is mostly "Southern" or "Cajun" rather than general Americana. I suppose Fried Chicken is shared between Southern Cooking, Soulfood, and Americana...

Lots of casseroles qualify. Practically anything involving turkey. Biscuits, though non-Southern style biscuits are just wrong somehow. I guess that's part of the problem of being a Southerner. My "American" food isn't really "American" enough, since it's "Southern." Even most Barbecue is Southern. Or Texan. Which is another can of worms.

*psyducks*

That is very true. I can't think of any kind of cooking that comes from California but I know a lot about Southern cooking from shows on tv (gotta love the travel channel). But all of this discussion of great food (especially country fried steak!) is making me hungry for breakfast. Too bad I don't have much of that at the house here.

Wall of text + next to no punctuation (except for periods/question marks). I have gotten used to it, though.

Ah so I see. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to get used to. However I am never able to master walls of text. I write what is a lot for me only to discover that it pales in comparison to the work of many others.

You'd probably find a place with google, aye? There must be some game restaurant around there. I mean, It's Californyuh and everything.
Tiny spiders are the only creepy thing. And moths. *shudder*

No, no. I came here to cry when Amifool was being a meanie to me, and then he declares that it's his corner. That's when I decided to move in, just to spite him. And also steal his musics. Our cohabitation in the corner has been a relative success in my opinion. I mean, I got him to put shelves on these white walls! *pats her plants*

Dunno, battles must have been rather casual at least in some places...

Oh I probably could, I am just very sheltered currently (not sure that is the right word) and even if I find a place I can't actually get there, and even if I had a way to get there I have not enough money. Still, I can at least look into it. So I shall. Thank you for the inspiration Finny! *hugs*

Ah okay good story to explain that. So no joint corner conquering?

I guess at some point but not over where I live. I mostly keep all my little weapons for aesthetics but I do keep them nearby around the house. I am terrified of someone trying to break in. Fortunately between many dogs, a small armory of blades, and my own martial arts training, the house if fairly safe. Unless zombies attack. Then I am most screwed.

Couple of epic-level monks just chilling while being attacked by standard orcs...

Naww, so cute! :3

But it looks so cold, where is the mammy bird? :smallworried:

Mammy bird is scared of mammy human, but always comes back once my mom is done taking pictures.

But what kind of custard filling? Chocolate custard? almond custard? bourbon custard?

Vanilla custard. Which is somehow kept cold while the bismark itself is warm.

So you bought some of Mr. Saturn's peanut-cheese bars, eh?

No...?
I've just put peanut butter on my pizza because peanut butter is delicious. Also to prove a point.

Nah, you're just not using enough fire. Headcheese. You'll eat. Headcheese.

Dragonpuppies frolic in fire like normal puppies frolic in sunny meadows.
And of course I will. I said I'll try any meat product once, and I meant it.

What, is it dead?

Don't be ridiculous, baby cardinals just look like that because they're altricial instead of precocial.

[LaZodiac]

AAAAAAAAAH?

It's a new born baby bird, it looks freaky and gross and scary!

[randman22222]

Baby seagulls are so much cuter and nicer than their grownup variants. Every summer some seagulls decide to hatch on the roof across from my living room window.

[FinnLassie]

Hrm... TO WIKIPEDIA! Hrm... I think I've had something like this once or twice... maybe. I imagine it tastes pretty good, though.

Interesting.

Yesssssssss, you should sleep.

It was one of my favourite foods as a kid, and still is. Exquisite.

Of course it is. It's Finnish.

It's only around 9pm! Plus I need to pack! No time, no time, no time!

Now I'm imagining a casual battle. "Dude, I think that guy might be trying to kill you." "Hmm? Oh, yeah, that. I'll take care of it after I finish my sandwich." "Nah, don't bother, I've got it." *casually rips attacker's head off* "Thanks, man."

*jealously guards his noms*

Rather Monty Python esque, if I may say.

Stop making me barf!

Oh, are we playing "which Swedish word did this Finnish word derive from?" again?!

They don't, they don't. I think customs will be fiiine, I mean, it's just blueberries aye?

Ah, I did.

Sounds like a rather regular day. I have to say, for the first week or two I was totally lost with this thread... Now it's my home.

I, wh-, what, what is this hug even for! *is being squished*

*nod, nod* Well, I like to keep things for a purposeful use, and I also like to sharpen stuff so I don't think I'd be immediately screwed when the zombie apocalypse begins.


ION: I'll be off now for some days. Bye.

Silt! That's it! That's what we call it.

Proof positive that Finnish is an actual language and not just made up on the spot.
