Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am sad to report you are a big fat baby. Culinarily speaking.

Yes, for I have displayed a reluctance to try new and exotic foods outside of my normal experience.

Or were you actually talking to me? Disliking food is fine, in my book, once you've tasted it. There's more than enough that I really really like to keep me busy forever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Come with Lee and me to sushi some day.

I'll eat whatever at sushi. But I confess I'm really just there for the wasabi and ginger.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Wait? Are you saying my experience doesn't validate the whole of my taste as a worldview by which others may be dismissively judged?

Fair point.

The status is NOT quo.

Mmmm, sushi.

(See above comment, re: level of clever banter)

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

ION: That Dr Pepper commercial is totally ripping off "Once More With Feeling". Is our boy Joss getting a cut?

Yeah, now I want sushi. Crap.

hip deep in pie

Word on the street is that my friends' band, Stars, are on the next OC, can anyone confirm this?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Lima beans almost always have a weird graininess to them. There are so many other delicious beans with nice nongrainy textures that eating the limas doesn't seem worth it.

Brussel sprouts, however, are nummy.

Re 24, is anyone else worried that they're going to run out of steam, and the last half of the season is going to be Jack and Tony sitting at home watching TV? We're only up to hour 8, and we've already got a nuclear meltdown on our hands! Which will now probably turn out to be just a cover for the real Big Terror Plan of the day.

My parents conned my brother into eating and liking brussel sprouts by calling them shrunken heads.

Of course, my mom believed for nearly 5 years that pimentos were lizard tongues.

It didn't work on me. Brussel sprouts taste like ass. Green olives suck. Fried okra is fried snot. Lima beans are mushy mealy yuck. I like spinache. Aspargus is of the gods. I still have pound to go. I will never have plastic surgery. I freak out at the burning.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have a friend who can steam Brussel sprouts so that they come out crisp and slightly buttery. His are the only I'll ever eat, since in addition to tasting like ass, I submit that all the others that have been put in front of me also smell like ass.
