No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Of course, it wasn't like the PE teacher was going to frogmarch me around the track. A Gandhi-esque bout of lump-on-the-groundness seemed to work.

This has me giggling at an image of a teenaged connie hunkered down on the track glowering at a pushy PE teacher. Go you!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just discovered that coriander and cilantro are the same thing. Oh, coriander. You sounded like such a nice little spice. But you're an evil herb in disguise.

Aha! I see that the seeds are what I always thought of as coriander. But the leaves are cilantro! BASTARD.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I think coriander is cilantro seeds. So yeah, the same plant but quite different in flavor and application.

Except in Europe. There, coriander can mean either the seeds or the leaves. I think.

Cilantro is the one that tastes like soap, right?

Supertasters think cilantro tastes like soap. Poor bastards.

The rest of you are just pretending that cilantro tastes good. And that sweet corn is sweet.

I hate having a sense I can't rely on to give accurate information.

I don't think cilantro tastes like soap; I just hate it and its leafy awfulness getting in the way of my food.

I am a supertaster by most tests, but I love cilantro, and don't think it tastes at all like soap. Broccoli, though, is evil and should be banished, as should all green peppers.
