Mmmm, sushi.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, now I want sushi. Crap.

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.

Heh. I bet she got that trick from the mother in Calvin and Hobbes. That's a famous early strip.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shrimp are too enumerable. I never look at the chicken curry and think "way too few pieces of chicken." But the count of the wee shrimps is always too low. Because they're just sitting up and begging to be counted, whereas the chicken hides.

Oh, and I looked up "tsk" in the Britannica, and it's defined as a suction sound. Which is pretty much what the cc was spelling out, and I can't quite say t-s-k and still suck. Quite the opposite, really.
