Title: In Soviet Russia, the Vegemite Eats You... or something
Post by: mikhael on May 14, 2004, 05:05:56 pm: I guess, since I don't like Vegemite, I support Stalin. Anyway, on to the point:

So, my wife, she eats this Vegemite stuff. I'm sure, at some point, I expressed my distaste for the vile black slimy concoction. Coopers: you should be ashamed of yourselves for ever trying to find a use for the dregs of your brewery vats.

Anyway, the vegetmite eating heathen (my wife, remember), showed me this page (http://cockeyed.com/inside/vegemite/vegemite.html) today. Enjoy.

Well, not commonly, (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,23531.msg470180.html#msg470180) as such, but you get the idea.

Post by: Ace on May 14, 2004, 11:05:27 pm: Yowch, I had heard of Vegemite before, but never knew exactly what it was. I shrugged it off as some sort of screwed up urban legend to scare children, you know spread by those Wal/K-Mart stretchy-pants ladies who like mayonaise sandwiches and stuff...
