Title: Proof that people have no taste.
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 20, 2003, 11:26:52 am: Today I discovered what has to be the most ridiculous combination of food and flavour I have ever come across.

Vanilla Ice-Cream flavour Monster Munch Crisps!

What is the world coming to?

What next? Vegemite Ice-Cream?

What is the world coming to?

Pathetic.

The two greatest flavor combinations ever involving ice cream are:

1. vanilla ice cream slathered in keylime habanero hot sauce (hot enough to cause sores ;))

2. flaming jalapeno ice cream: vanilla ice cream with diced jalapenos mixed through, sugar lattice laid on top, covered in vermouth and set on fire. the lattice melts giving a candy shell over the alternately hot and and cool icecream.

[color=66ff00]OK so his threads leave something to be desired but you don't have to go posting a reply to every single thing that bugs you. Threads die faster if you ignore them.

Post by: Razor on May 21, 2003, 04:39:51 pm: That is true indeed. I am only trying to tell him that he might try to think twice before posting a new one. It's not always wise to post from the head, if you know what I mean.
Title: Proof that people have no taste.
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 21, 2003, 05:00:32 pm: But as I have said before. Most of my new threads are on such diverse topics that I would be accused of derailment if I were to post in an existing thread.

However, I'll try to cut down on the less-useful postages, but I can't promise anything.

Yo pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you,
So tell all the boys and girls.
Tell your brother, your sister
And mama too, cause they’re
About to go down
And you’ll know just what to do.

Wave your hands in the air
Like you don’t care, glide by
The People as they start to look and stare.
Do you dance, do your dance quick
Mama, come on baby, tell me what’s
The Word, ah – word up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway,
Word up, it’s the code word,
No matter where you say it,
You’ll know that you’ll be heard.

Now all you sucker. D.J.’s
Who think you’re fly
There’s got to be a reason
And we know the reason why.
You try to put on those airs
And act real cool
But you got to realise
That you’re acting like fools.
If there’s music we can use it
We need to dance.
We don’t have that time
For psychological romance
No romance
No romance
No romance for me mama
Come on baby tell me what’s the word.
Ah – word up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway.

Dial “L” for low...
Come on, all you people say...
Word up – word up

... and you would not like Sandra when she's angry. Sandra SMASH.

Our story begins, as many stories in this decade are wont to do, at Wal-Mart. I spied some Hershey's Chocolate Syrup packaged in green bottles with pictures of the Incredible Hulk on them. I'm a sucker for the impulse-buy when there is chocolate or superheroes involved. There was simply no way I could pass on this stuff.

It turns out the syrup makes the milk turn green, rather than the deep, sweet brown most chocolate milk aficionados are accustomed to. What miracle of chemistry could turn the permanently-staining brown of chocolate into a green that would make Bruce Banner worry for the lives of his neighbors?

What miracle indeed. Apparently the green dye used is one that is not metabolized. At all. This particular molecule stays green, and does not pass through stomach lining nor intestinal walls. I think this dye would make an excellent dietary marker. Do you really want to know how long it takes a particular meal to run your gastrointestinal gauntlet? One glass of chocolate milk made with green Hershey's Syrup is all you need to take with that meal, and you'll know for sure.

Now you and I may be momentarily fascinated with elementary excrementals, but we're typically content to let bygones be bygones when the movement moment has passed. That's what the big porcelain bowl is for -- bygonification.

I have three problems, however. First, I have a two-year-old who wears diapers. Second, she refuses to be left out if everybody is getting chocolate milk.

The third problem is the icing on the cake... If she gets too much dairy in her diet, when the (ahem) moment passes, it does so rather fluidly.

I'd make a crack here about the colorful metaphors employed by my wife during a recent diaper change, but that might be pushing things a bit too far. I've probably already said too much.

By all means, enjoy your chocolate milk.

Razor, shut up. You aren't the voice of the people- if anyone else was upset about Petrarch's spam, they'd complain about it themselves. They aren't- they're complaining about you.

But then, that's an insignificant factoid, as your spamdar hasn't gone off for your own posts, right?

Your going to have to be a tad more specific on that one. The word up lyrics? I shall admit to having that specific song on my playlist but only because it makes me funk. That and I like it.
