LONG LIVE THE MEGA-POST!
You should be able to view it again, but Masako had to shut off the comments at…
3821.
She had to delete one spam comment to get it viewable again (link).
Please, let’s hear a big round of applause for all of you who posted in the Mega-Post and kept it alive for a year and four months. Please use this comment thread to post your fondest memories of the post with the most…
the Mega-Post.
I am going to think differently about those matronly ladies are always talking about spice. I didn’t realize it meant they had a stable of hubby’s at home. Go old ladies Go!
That comment gives me pause to think what might be in your spice cabinet.
Another way to look at it is that each of a married pair is a spouse, and together the two are spice. But that doesn’t explain Phyllis Diller and Fang.
Or the Spice Girls. Or the Old Spice Guy.
Believe those who had the Spice Girls inflicted on them, there is no explanation for the Spice girls, not even money.
Apparently you weren’t paid enough.
Whatever happened to the Spice Girls? Are they dating Milli Vanilli?
I heard that Rancid Spice was singing in a karaoke club near here recently, but the person who told me also thought I was Walter Cronkite, so I’m disinclined to believe him.
Give them partial credit for even knowing who Walter Cronkite is.
Damn, I thought you were Walter Cronkite too.
Other than that, doesn’t Thanksgiving crop up at this time of year?
From this side of the Pond may we wish you a great time.
Nxxx, sorry to disappoint, but I am not Walter Cronkite (slightly more on the living side of the spectrum).
And yes, the American Thanksgiving is Thursday next week. Thanks for the well wishes. Mayhaps someone will fry a turkey in your honor.
One deep-fried Tofurkey coming up.
I’ll save the turducken for the Christmas season.
Steve,
This bird you are saving for Christmas, how do you pronounce that word?
Nxxx,
It is pronounced ter-duck-en. And if you’re interested, a WikiPedia article on the subject.
Thank goodness for that, don’t know about these things as a Veggie.
A turducken is a meat-gasm, like one of those Brazilian-style steakhouses. No place for a Veggie.
Like edible Russian nesting dolls.
Ace,
I can eat those, they’re wood and the lead paint adds a certain piquancy.
It was the “turd” bit that worried me.
Jolly Good Hols, everyone, what?
An early Happy Cyber Monday to all!
Trying to figure out how to type in Cyrillic here, to blend with the spammers. Any tips?
Not a clue.
I try to avoid languages that I don’t understand. Like British English. Me only speak American.
The only Native American I know is, “How!” and “White man speaks with forked tongue.”
Is this useful for the tourist?
A snarky Steve G would say that was perfect.
But it really depends on where you’re going and the local populace. Unless you have some AR app that provides subtitles.
According to BBC Radio 4, Gravesend was the hottest place in the UK yesterday.
Is BroMu personally responsible for Global Warming?
That would depend on what he’s been doing. He has been absent from these parts for a while…
maybe he is mass frying turduckens
I thought turduckens were supposed to be cooked underground with charcoal like the Hawaiian pig thing.
Mmhh, turporken!
Not sure how to cook one. Never tried eating or making one. They’re big (I think the smallest are 15+ pounds, mostly meat) and I would imagine they take a while to cook. And they’re expensive. Too much to want to try without having a decent size party.
I wonder if there a veggie alternative? Something like Tofu stuffed with tempeh stuffed with portabella mushrooms?
Might have to be in the reverse order. Doesn’t tofu take the shape of its container, like water?
Not if it is frozen.
Not if it is frozen.
It bears repeating: not if it is frozen.
You can freeze tofu?
Why would you want to? (Asked the carnivore.)
IF you freeze tofu it forces the water out. So if you don’t like Tofu texture you buy the really firm stuff and freeze it. It completely changes the texture and is especially good deep fried after you freeze it.
“Deep fried tofu” sounds so unhealthy.
Can’t Del solve all our problems by creating a chicken that just before holidays, eats only chestnut stuffing, moults, packs its giblets in a plastic bag and waits to be swallowed by a duck who performs a similar feat and finally a similar inclined turkey to complete the oven ready feast?
Following this, tofu should be no problem.
I would pay 42 quatloos to see that!
But would you eat it?
Is it all right if it is radioactive?
Only if eating it won’t make me glow like Dr. Manhattan from The Watchmen.
Syeve,
I’ve got a broken watch that doesn’t glow. Could you send me his address, please?
Syeve’s gone, Nxxx. Off to the great 19th Hole in the Sky.
Let him go.
Can you tell I’ve been a tad busy of late? I’m going in again. I may resurface sometime post-Christmas. Look even lardier.
Don’t miss me too much.
…
Weep, you bastards, WEEP!
Sweep? I don’t think I have a broom handy.
Oh… you said weep. Sorry, but otherwise focuses on Christmas trees and pie. (South Park reference for the curious.)
BroMu,
To paraphrase Si and Gar, “You’re the only living boy in Gravesend”.
Especially now I’ve cleansed the streets of unrighteousness, Nxxx.
Just like the voices told me.
Oooooo-kay…
I’m just going to back away slowly and stay on my side of the Atlantic.
Steve,
Have you got room for another immigrant?
In my house specifically? No. The dog, while people friendly, sleeps on the couch.
Over here generally? For now, yes. But certain parties (Tea or otherwise) might attempt to limit that in the near future. Though I would wait until after January 1, so as not to be subject to taxes for 2011.
I thought our country only tried to limit the non-white immigrants?
