Still, thanks for the heads up.

Yes, you don't want to try fugu... it may be safe, but it can kill you. I used to watch a lot of the original Iron Chefs, and judging by the show, there's a lot of good food there.

that's great!

I want to put that up in the main derby thread every time someone starts whining that their entry didn't do well. When they have well over 100 votes. And have only entered the derby a handful of times.

Meh.

I'm going from sniffly to snarky today, so I should probably get out of the forums before I say something I might regret later. One of the people I look up to used to say that a day wasn't one where she could suffer fools gladly. or at all. That would be me today.

My husband has yet to go pick up the (now) 4 dead mice outside. I do the trash, I do the cooking, he can deal with the meeses from his kitty. gah. He prefers to play WoW, though.

Now aren't you all glad you don't live here?

:O

My designs do either real well, or down in the <30 range (bunny is ~18, juggler is ~31).
I also am sniffly, but not feeling very snarky. Glad someone else can fill those shoes.
I don't touch dead mice either. We don't have cats, but we do have traps and a shed...
Don't touch WoW either. Too expensive.

I'm doubtful it would be killing you. If you're eating that high end food, you're getting it from an expert chef- or he wouldn't be making fugu. My boss used to eat it. It makes your mouth kind of tingle, according to him, and just a bit of numbness. Of course, HIS boss loved to eat bamboo. His favorite restaurant in Tokushima (corporate headquarters) was a bamboo place.

You can't digest it, and so it, um, does things to your digestive system. unpleasant things. Apparently it is quite an acquired taste. <:^{

Yeah 0 shes got a great style and ability as a singer, but an absolute trainwreck as a person. shame that they have to plaster that across the papers

that must be mature bamboo.. the shoots arent that bad. usually had them in Ramen. might explain why pandas are so cranky tho..

never had fugu or whale while i was over there, musty not have had rich enough friends to do that. as for the tingle.. i can get that with ebi or kane. then the hives, the itching, the wheezing, the whooowhoo of the ambulance.. its fun , really!

This is a late entry. Any final comments before submitting? Guess not- PLEASE VOTE!

Pandas have to eat a load pf bamboo in order to live.

I don't know personally, the restaurant was closed the day he was going to take us.

A lot of that food probably is an acquired taste. Like stinky tofu. EDIT: And century eggs.

are those klingon insignia earrings? I used to have a Star Trek button that actually beeped like a real ones. I can go on for far too long...

I've been watching less SF channel since the kids have gotten old enough to understand what's on TV - though my 10yo is obsessed with Stargate SG-1.

I voted and "encouraged" my husband to vote. The girlies voting block will go over the entries tomorrow.

My kids play Pirates of the Carribean, but they were playing WoW for a while. gah. Now you can understand why I want them to do computer graphics instead!

I think my husband dealt with the mice. My 10 year old is death phobic and couldn't go outside today unless someone removed the mice. Living at the end of the earth means cute bunnies, deer, and endangered birds, but also mice. bleh.

Skek - how's the teeth? And how old are your kids? Your juggling mom seemed to have little kid stuff, so I'm thinking they're little.

Phew, weekend's almost over, so the girls' friends will be available. It's so much easier when they have friends over!

I went from being overly emotional and sniffling over the poor baby birdies in tgentry's entry who have to be with the fake mama bird..

and now I'm in snarky/grouchy mode. I love tapering down medications - my own normal human mood swings weren't exciting enough!

So, is it just me being in a rotten mood, or does anyone else not want to vote for shirts designed by people who haven't bought anything? It's probably just me. the empty boxes bother me, though.

Its late, i know, but lets see if this thing has wings..

Mom is Cuckoo!!

I tell you - theres something aint right about that boy.. No sir-eee... His mother wont admit it, keeps treating 'im like just one of the other kids.. but Nothing good's ever gonna come of that boy...

aren't century eggs just boiled eggs which then have their shells cracked all over and then soaked in tea so that there's a pattern of dark stain from the tea all over the surface of the egg? I think they're really cool looking. Do they taste bad (like tea mixed with egg)?

Josephus wrote:aren't century eggs just boiled eggs which then have their shells cracked all over and then soaked in tea so that there's a pattern of dark stain from the tea all over the surface of the egg?

No. Eggs boiled in tea are, oddly enough, called "tea eggs." Century eggs are different.

Wikipedia said:

Century egg, also known as preserved egg, hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg and thousand-year-old egg is a Chinese cuisine ingredient made by preserving duck, chicken or quail eggs in mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice straw for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing. After the process is completed, the yolk becomes a dark green, cream-like substance with a strong odor of sulfur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, transparent jelly with little flavor or taste. The transforming agent in century egg is its alkaline material, which gradually raises the pH of egg from around 9 to 12 or more. This chemical process breaks down some of the complex, flavorless proteins and fats, which produces a variety of smaller flavorful compounds.

Some eggs have patterns near the surface of the egg white which are likened to pine branches.

Wow that is gorgeous, and I'll bet it tasted divine. Are you a professional dessert chef?

I think the white boxes are only used by people who have multiple accounts, the white box account being the fake identity.

I see... that would explain the years of special education.

oh wow, taylor. yummmmmm....

I want to reach through the computer and eat this. wow. i'm so impressed with your patience and how you do every little thing beautifully. I can make fabulous meals, but the fussy bits of desserts isn't where my skill lies.

i'm drooling, though. And not just because I haven't had strawberries in 3 years (my youngest developed an anaphylactic berry allergy, darnit. she's contact-reactive, too.)

no1 wrote:I see... that would explain the years of special education.

and I would recognize it, after teaching special ed. ;)

you do have great comments about entries, though. and I would never want to offend someone who is so skilled at editing posts for quotes.

It's the people with just a few comments and no purchases that usually annoy me. but again, I was feeling annoyed already. today isn't looking good - damp, cool days = pain.

I'm surprised you aren't trying to use the vulcan neck thingy... I thought you were a trekkie or something.

The Vulcan nerve pinch only subdues you to unconsciousness. The Vulcan Death Grip is more fun, but is harder to master.

I think it was just your rotten mood. I don't think in general that people hide their identities when designing shirts, but when they're hating on shirts. Empty boxes by the names of designers usually mean they're just starting to submit stuff on woot, I'd expect.

other than no1, who has specialized in being special.

once you know it, though, you can sometimes use it by reflex, which can be inconvenient.

"yes, Mrs. Johnson, I know Bobby was just horsing around, but I didn't see him coming, and I just reacted when he kicked me in the nether region. Of course I didn't do it on purpose- do you have any idea what my insurance costs since I learned this?"

Dunno about those, but my wife gives Vulcan back rubs... once she's done, I have a hard time moving

The worst thing that could happen is that you try hard but don't succeed, but then you'll have a good excuse to strangle either your life coach or your boss. Win win!
