Most places I go in the South ask if you want sweet or unsweet tea. I like unsweet and then I put some Equal or Splenda in it. I do like my tea sweetened some, but sweet tea usually has way too much sugar for me.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I never put any sweetener in my tea, hot or cold. Is it still "sweet tea"?
No, that's "unsweet tea", and it's always available -- you just have to specify it. Just like "hot tea".

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Southern Indiana. Coke. Although not to the extent (iirc) that some of you all are talking about.

Unsweetened iced tea with lemon added for me, thanks. I never liked iced tea before my mom started making sun tea when I was in high school, because before then we just had instant powdered crap for "iced tea," and it was sweetened powdered crap. When I discovered unsweetened real iced tea, and added some lemon to see what it tasted like, I became a convert.
Same thing happened with Chinese food--I presumed "real" Chinese food was the chop suey crap my dad made (no Chinese restaurants in Joliet when I was growing up), and didn't discover actual Chinese food until college.

msbelle, I could tell my Peep Jousting story... I don't know that it's a "story" per se, but my coworker sure enjoyed it when I was telling it a few minutes ago...

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Skipped 45 posts. Have to get cracking on cleaning and cooking around here.
Hivemind question:
I like getting the german Lola dish brushes because they're made of natural bristle, wood and metal...all of which feels better to me environmentally. However, the design is such that the brush inevitable comes out of the wood handle housing after a couple months. Has anyone seen a natural bristle and wood handle brush that has the handle secured by wood glue or joints rather than just being a metal tab pushed into a hole?

THANK YOU to non-coffee-drinkers who have coffee making capacity at home, for guests. I am still traumatised by my friend's parents who felt that Folger's crystals were sufficient for this purpose.
Does a Quickie Mart half a block away with decent coffee count? I keep meaning to get a Pod machine, but I was worried that that was only welcoming the coffee monkey to leap onto my back again.
