You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

So, did they, um, nevermind, I'm not sure I want to know.

No Brenda, they didn't eat them, which I think is your question. But the mongols did view the chinese as sort of subhuman because of their grasseating ways.

But, "To the Mongols, the farmers' fields were just grasslands, as were the gardens, and the peasants were like grazing animals rather than real humans who ate meat. The Mongols referred to these grass-eating people with the same terminology tha they used for cows and goats. The masses of peasants were just so many herds, and when the soldiers went out to round up their people or to drive them away, they did so with the same terminology, precision, and emotion used in rounding up yaks." From Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World.

Relatively interesting stuff.

She was like unintelligible.

Liar.

SA it was me who said that. I am starting to think it is not so bad if I avoid long i's. In my head though, even typing this I hear the accent.

I can eat them, but I am not sure why I should. hate iceberg lettuce too. I think most people eat it for the dressing. I prefer my greens to have flavor.

I actually like iceberg, and I don't usually put dressing on salads at all. There's something about it being very cool and refreshing that you don't get with other greens. I don't usually have just iceberg, but I like it when its there.

Kathy, wasn't that awful outside the motorcycle shop. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree on Slacker - they're so repellant they need a nastier name.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not COMPLETELY unintelligible. Just like unintelligible.

A nodding acquaintance with intelligible.

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

I prefer my chocolate dark and my meat rare, but I take my coffee with cream & sugar.

I'd say my main food aversion is green peppers.

My sistah! Green and red peppers are my kryptonite, no lie. I can smell a micron of the stuff in the next room and be nauseated.

So many of my food likes and dislikes were explained by the supertaster thing. It like totally tied together everything!
