It's not an experience i can see catching on, but neither is it one i regret

[Shit Good Nose]

I never saw any of the results at all.  I don't know why I never looked,  There was, however, a painting I did of my left tit[nb]Not just of my left tit - my whole left side from neck to hips[/nb] hanging in our bathroom for a while until our daughter demanded that I remove it so as not to embarrass her in front of her friends.  Have you considered producing a nude self-portrait, signed in large friendly letters?  That'd be even better for shocking your visitors, because they'd be forced to feel that they should comment on your ... erm ... prowess.

Reminds me I should take down that black and white A2 of my barse.

Since moving to the southern US, I've since learned that Scotland has nothing on the South for deep-frying mad things. The state fair is the place to go for deep-fried watermelon, deep-fried Twinkies, deep-fried Coca-Cola (yep, ice cubes of Coke, covered in icing sugar and batter and then deep fried.) Scotland needs to be working on deep-fried Irn-Bru. Americans do seem appalled at deep-fried pizza though (or 'Thursday's nights tea' as I remember it), and seem intrigued by the 'Stonner' (sausage wrapped in donner meat, battered and deep fried), as they should be, because they're fucking great.

Do they still have "roadkill cafes" down there?  Keith Floyd used to go on about them all the time.

Daniel Day Lewis considers return to acting.

I've never seen one. But then again, I've never seen a Klan rally, and I'm sure they're going on all the time.

[Shit Good Nose]

Just imagine turning up with a dead klan member you've hit in the dead of night, cross embers barely orange.  "Deep fry that would you mate?"

[Norton Canes]

Some time over the weekend I expect to experience my first 'rice and three', I'll let you know how that goes.

'Wrong place, sir. The RoadKKKill Cafe is two blocks further down on the far right'

[Famous Mortimer]

Stuff adjacent to this is taking off, a couple of people at work have been axe throwing, there's some place that does it but also has a bit with old printers and electronics you can go all office space on. Which I thought was depressingly wasteful.

Axe throwing is the perfect choice to answer this thread. It was...alright?

[Shit Good Nose]

Just a cheeseburger then please.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Why take the trouble to condition yourself to tolerate conditions that are entirely avoidable?

Why leave the cave?

If you take the philosophy that anything outside your comfort zone is intolerable then you're no better than a toddler, or a retired German.

Probably unfair on retired Germans, as they at least try, even if the upshot is that every weekend thousands of white haired people disembark coaches, grimace at buildings and clog up cafés complaining about everything.

The acquired taste of olives isn't one I've mastered either (though I quite like black ones, the green ones still seem a bit strong and bitter). It's not like it took me 5 years to get to this point though. I had some on 6 or 7 occasions and gradually liked olives a bit more. Same with kidney beans, and bumming.

I'm happy to go outside the comfort zone if there's a benefit. I'm failing to see one.

Who wants to be reminded of family in the bog. The best thing about it is they cease to exist.

Well, I'm no Van Gogh or Rolf Harris but I gave it my best shot.

[Marner and Me]

Long time since I've had one, but Twinkies always tasted like an even more artificial version of those little sponge rolls with the cream and jam filling (were they Kipling's, or another make?).

Most American confectionary is awful though, and they haven't got a fucking clue when it comes to chocolate - even their top-end artisan stuff isn't much better than decent cooking chocolate over here.  Having said that, I am VERY partial to most Reese's products, fully acknowledging how appalling they otherwise are.

American sweets and chocolate are dire.

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

In the main, yes, but I will stand up for Reece's sweets. A 50/50 mix of fat and sugar has been shown to be horribly addictive, and Reece gets it spot on.

Yep.  The chocolate is fucking horrible and the peanut "butter" has a really odd texture.  But something about them just works.  Lightning in a bottle I reckon.

Well, that's me turned on.

I reckon he's playing a harp.  We just can't see it.

[Cerys]

Well, he's playing something....

[Shit Good Nose]

Well, he's playing something....

A HARP!

[Cerys]

More like a banjo of some kind, I suspect.

[Shit Good Nose]

Snapping your banjo string means something completely different to some men.

[Cerys]

Thankyou for pointing out what I was clearly implying.

[Shit Good Nose]

It was more for the benefit of those chaps who've never known a banjo string.  They don't know how lucky they are.

[Voltan (Man of Steel)]

I was playing a tiny trombone (rusty).

American sweets and chocolate are dire.

Someone at work bought a thing of mini Hershey's back from their honeymoon and I was dumbfounded at how shit they were, somehow worse than the cheap shite you get in advent calendars.

cream pie

[honeychile]

What sort of cunt orders a plaice from a chippy? It's haddock or cod. Plaice may be on the menu, but under no account are you meant to actually order it. It's against chip rules.

Cunt goes into an ice-cream parlour and orders a triple-scoop of vanilla.

That's you, that is.

[honeychile]

Cunt walks into a multiple award-winning gelateria in Verona and asks for a fucking 99.

That's brilliant actually, pure fuck you.
