dude i didnt know about the existence of a sth australian accent!

We say "school" instead of "skwell", unlike you convicts on the East Coast.

Oh, and we buy milk from the DELI!

There's a WA accent too, they say "heyahh" instead of "here". Sort of.

Is cheesecake factory in the US the same franchise as the one here?

Trayce, Friday, 30 May 2008 04:28 (sixteen years ago) link

No, no, it's VASTLY different. It hardly even has cheesecake even on the dessert menu.

King Boy Pato, Friday, 30 May 2008 05:23 (sixteen years ago) link

one month passes...

tried so far:
haribo jelly raspberries: average
mint three musketeers: average
chocolate skittles: kinda gross
burrito (from chipotle): pretty good except for the cilantro
clams: excellent
trader joe's vegan choc chip cookies: amazing

i really want to go to taco bell but jordan says they masturbate in the meat. i think he just says that so i'll get a vege taco.

Rubyredd, Monday, 14 July 2008 04:37 (fifteen years ago) link

No, he's serious, there's masturbation all over that meat. That's why it's rated Grade-D or below.

coriander is v divisive

wilter, Monday, 14 July 2008 04:48 (fifteen years ago) link

hey i kind of hate cilantro too, doesn't everybody?

gr8080, Monday, 14 July 2008 05:28 (fifteen years ago) link

Okay, I did not even realize that chocolate skittles exist. But yeah, they do sound kinda gross...

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 05:30 (fifteen years ago) link

xp I like cilantro. Please don't alienate me!

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 05:30 (fifteen years ago) link

xp
I kind of love it, but I do know a lot of ppl who hate the shit out of it.

wilter, Monday, 14 July 2008 05:31 (fifteen years ago) link

If you go to Taco Bell when it's busy and order a popular meal they simply won't have had time to jizz in it. Also, even with spotty teenage boys there are only so many times a day you can manage it so if you go after a certain hour your odds of avoidance are probably pretty good.

Mark C, Monday, 14 July 2008 09:04 (fifteen years ago) link

Alternative find your local mexican taqueria and at least the jizz will be authentic south of the border jizz.

dont you think cilantro kind of tastes like soap?

gr8080, Monday, 14 July 2008 09:36 (fifteen years ago) link

It tastes of bleach rather than soap, I reckon. NB I like the bleachy taste.

Mark C, Monday, 14 July 2008 09:40 (fifteen years ago) link

Coriander only tastes like bleach/soap when it is off, otherwise it is lovely.

Ed, Monday, 14 July 2008 10:06 (fifteen years ago) link

Cilantro hate is a defect. I pity you all.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah Ned is right, it's genetic

Mr. Que, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:11 (fifteen years ago) link

Coriander only tastes like bleach/soap when it is off

Coriander tastes like bleach all the time, and it's delicious.

Mark C, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:20 (fifteen years ago) link

coriander/cilantro tasting like soap is an enzyme thing in some ppl

Rubyredd, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:14 (fifteen years ago) link

y'all. coriander/cilantro is a godsend. deal with it, k?

tehresa, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:18 (fifteen years ago) link

omg I love cilantro. Cilantro haters = crazeeee. Welcome to the US RR. Sounds like everything is going wonderfully so far. So very happy for you.

ENBB, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:20 (fifteen years ago) link

just sample my first twinkie. pretty average :(

Rubyredd, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:16 (fifteen years ago) link

try a hoho

jergins, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:20 (fifteen years ago) link

try a zinger

sunny successor, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:21 (fifteen years ago) link

YES WHAT CURT1S SAID

BLACK BEYONCE, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:27 (fifteen years ago) link

also i think that the cilantro divide is actually how jesus knows which ones of us to rapture in the end times, so you pagan cilantro haters better start some sort of tongue scrape and hormonal treatment routine yo

BLACK BEYONCE, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:29 (fifteen years ago) link

pffft, if Jesus wants me to eat cilantro, Jesus can eat ...well, cilantro, because it may as well be shit.

Finefinemusic, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:34 (fifteen years ago) link

Funfact: when I was a kid, I thought the smell of cilantro was the smell of rabies, because I once saw a dead bird on the driveway of my neighbours' house and (I assume) they had a cilantro patch growing in their garden. I smelled it and assumed the bird died of rabies and that's the smell of rabies. It took me 18 years to figure out that it was cilantro!

Finefinemusic, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:35 (fifteen years ago) link

WWJE?

carne asada, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:35 (fifteen years ago) link

BB remember the multiple years when we lived on Nutty Bars? good times

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:36 (fifteen years ago) link

i wish i'd gotten the hostess cupcakes instead :( the pig fat cream in the middle of the twinkie is pretty good, but i don't like how the sponge stuff tastes kind of salty.

Rubyredd, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:48 (fifteen years ago) link

xp Dan, I think John is still in the middle of those years.

Mmmmmm hostess cupcakes. WANT

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:17 (fifteen years ago) link

Swiss Cake Rolls are the king

El Tomboto, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:19 (fifteen years ago) link

My husband will eat those Little Debbie ones every day if I don't make fun of him about it.

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:21 (fifteen years ago) link

wait there are only 100 calories in nutty bars??????????????

So I could eat like 20 of them and be fine for the day!!!!!!!!!

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:21 (fifteen years ago) link

omg start crunch! i am feeling nostalgic now but i used to get so pissed cause my mom would always buy those instead of something awesome like nutty bars (i think they seemed somehow less bad to her?). they were so freaking sweet and almost molassesy?

tehresa, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:42 (fifteen years ago) link

when I was a kid, I thought the smell of cilantro was the smell of rabies,

Youu think Jesus is gonna buy this shit?

wanko ergo sum, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:01 (fifteen years ago) link

xpost Eat 20 nutty bars, but don't forget to take a multivitamin or otherwise it's probably Scurvy-land for you, too. And if I had to call you and John both "Scurvy," that would just be confusing.

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:08 (fifteen years ago) link

Maybe you could call me "Rickets"; it wouldn't be accurate but it would be less confusing.

All of this talk of nutritional diseases is reminding me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgayZqbc6Xo&feature=related

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:20 (fifteen years ago) link

I'd like to call you "Beriberi," if at all possible. It would make you sound like a dessert topping.

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:41 (fifteen years ago) link

Somehow I think Dan is fine with that idea.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:44 (fifteen years ago) link

esp. since I am already a dessert topping

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:45 (fifteen years ago) link

You're probably not going to like the part where I start marketing you that way is all.

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:46 (fifteen years ago) link

hostess cupcakes = A++++++ would eat again. best hostess product consumed so far.

root beer = jesus fucking christ this is the foulest stuff EVER. for some reason i was expecting it to taste like gingerbeer, but i was completely wrong.

butterfinger = A+
nestle buncha crunch = average, maybe even slightly below average. would not eat again.

Rubyredd, Monday, 21 July 2008 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link

Butterfinger = junk food of the GODS

HI DERE, Monday, 21 July 2008 16:34 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah butterfinger is pretty much gold

also RR, if you havent worked it out yet:

US Milky Way = AUS/NZ Mars Bar
US 3 Musketeers = AUS/NZ Milky Way

sunny successor, Monday, 21 July 2008 16:36 (fifteen years ago) link

root beer = jesus fucking christ this is the foulest stuff EVER. for some reason i was expecting it to taste like gingerbeer, but i was completely wrong.

ginger beer is better than root beer, but the quality of the latter can vary widely. if you get over the initial objection, you might find you like the good stuff.
