I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

I even found out what kippers are!

The all-time greatest breakfast food EVAR?

ETA - I've yet to meet a Creationist archaeologist, but I've heard they exist. Like yer man, I think they'd get fired pretty quick though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I could not find out how one EATS them for breakfast, however.

Do you heat them up? Put them on toast? With scrambled eggs? Are they just the fish alternative to bacon or sausage or do they have some special presentation?

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

BTW, you anchovy haters are crazy; they're no grosser than bacon. And DELICIOUS whole. Also, I sympathize with you broccoli haters, but you would not believe how almost creamy this broccoli turned out. I microwaved frozen bits, then cooked it over slow heat with garlic and anchovy that had been browned in oil for about fifteen minutes. I don't know how that made it so delicious -- maybe it's the oil and garlic-- but DAYUM it was so much better than I expected.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I like broccoli, but I'm allergic enough to it that I don't eat much.

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

I know a creationist with an MS in Biology, but no PhD's. This one pretty much did it by just deciding to ignore the parts he didn't like, which gives me no great confidence in his department (nor in his honesty).

The best thing that broccoli has going for it is that it's not cauliflower.

Butter is your food accesory for kippers. I usually stick them uder the grill with a load of butter. Some people just stick them in the microwave, some people fry them. Then I put them on toast. Mmm, kippers. I don't eat eggs, but I'd imagine if one did, they'd be pretty nice together.

So, brocoflower is a crime against god and man?

We do this with cauliflower all the time- cook slowly with garlic and olive oil till it all sort of melts down, then toss with pasta. It's SO much better than you think it's going to be! Yum. We usually throw in hot pepper flakes instead of anchovy though. Anchovy *does* sound tasty though.
