My grandpa used to mix his turnips and mashed potatoes. I felt it was an insult to both.
My mom did that. Still didn't mask the fact that there were frelling turnips in the potatoes.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hello! I must be going.
DX, she wouldn't do it before she served them, would she? At least Grandpa kept the desecration to his own plate.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
And I'm addicted to Quorn.
Next to "tofurkey" and "mock duck," "Quorn" sounds like a meat substitute for corn. For carnivores.
Is this the right time to extol the virtues of deep fried Mars Bar?
I hear that in Australia, Mars Bars are known as "Cloud 9." That's my unamerican factoid for the day.

UK/Canadian Mars Bars are like USian Milky Way bars, only better.
US Mars Bars are like (Canadian) Mars with Almonds, but they seem to have been rebranded Snickers With Almonds.

Hello! I must be going.
I want to try a deep-fried Twinkie. I know they have them in Brooklyn somewhere. I must quest.
Heh. Ted Koppel, looking silly in an admittedly needed helmet, is broadcasting from the tarmac at Saddam International. I'm beginning to really think that its namesake is chatting with Stalin in Hell right now. I'm betting that the reporters or troops have a pool on when they'll find the solid proof.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm sure the Saudis can manage solo.
Why Mars bars I've always wondered.

But (US) Snickers With Almonds have caramel, and (US) Milky Way bars don't. Do UK/Canadian Mars Bars have it?

US Milky Ways have caramel. Three Musketeers don't.
Edit: and UK/Canadian Mars Bars are Milk Chocolate, Nougat, and Caramel. Like US Milky Ways, but slightly maltier in the Nougat.
I can also go off at length about Caramilk vs. Caramello, although I think Caramilks, at least in Canada, have been reformulated and now taste like Caramellos.
Err. Damn. Not that I have any weird obsessive candy thing going on here...
