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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Argh! bon bon edited to add mayo to the cats....

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

With or without mayo?

Jinx!

There are many things out there that sound good, but somehow are flawed in a way personal to me. My mom makes this crab salad with avocado and lime and chile and nectarines or peaches.

Problem: I don't like crab.

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

The best hotdog I ever had was in London, from a cart in Leicester Square.

My sister just called me to find the traditional colour of mourning in Ghana. Now that I know she won't read the e-mail I sent just seconds before she called until late tomorrow (due to the funeral she's attending), I'm pre-emptively impatient.

Up with the sun

Hot dog party at Lyra's house!

I'm trying to think of a Buffistaly response that is not actually gross, and words are failing me. Sorry.

I also have no thoughts involving cats and mayonnaise. We usually tell our cats they're going to be turned into either goulash or roast beastie. (Mmmm, kitty goulash...)

I love crab. But I hate mock-crab. Which many inexpensive Chinese and Thai restaurants insist on serving around here (usually in some sort of seafood combo).

Wait, I take it back! I might have had hotdogs in 1996. Except they seemed a little different. From the vendors all around Prague.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sorry about that. I realized that mayo is the controversy that forms the epicenter of this food preference MADNESS.

BTW ranch is gross but Mayo is fab with fries. I don't know why the relative blandness of mayo enhances the humble fry but it must be that ketchup masks it.

If I only had a brain...

ita, this sounds like a chance to revenge years of sibling wrongs.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hot dogs = mustard and sauerkraut.

Mayonnaise is an abomination. That's in Leviticus somewhere, I swear it.

I suddenly and completely lost my taste for ketchup about 6 months ago, and it weirds me out. Actually, I s & c l my t for a lot of prepared foods, because I cut way back on sugar and became incredibly sensitive to how heavily sweetened a lot of things are that you don't necessarily think of as sweet foods -- but of all of them, ketchup is the one that weirds me out, because it's such the default condiment for American crap food.
