Aargh, I just had a blood pressure-raising phone call. Don't talk to me like I'm wrong when you are the one who is wrong and I have documentation to back me up.
Do you deal with our Web host, too? Just today they sat there and insisted that we didn't send them 5 articles, when the proof (aka, those 5 articles) were still sitting on their FTP server in the folder that they told us to use. AND -- this is my favorite part -- 1 of the 5 articles is actually online, which I think roundly disproves the "you didn't send it to us" argument.
Big fat lying liars who lie.
a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.
Dude, sign me up! Perverted science!
Perverted science involves a LOT of nitrile gloves and test tubes in new places.
Why did the guy one cube over say "Up yours, Batman."? That's not polite. Batman's gonna kick his ass.
Is it New Guy? Because he seems like the kind of crazy fool who would taunt Batman.
Is it wrong that I like green-can cheese better than real Parmesan for most things I use it for?
I love the texture of green-can cheese when I put it on a salad like a Caesar. LOVE.
In my house we call green-can cheese "sprinkle cheese." This to differentiate it from "orange cheese," which is Kroger-brand cheddar. (I have my own, nice cheddar which is not orange, but the kids don't like it.)
y'all, I fear my house is not going to be ready for this person to come look at it on Sat. I have taken 2 loads of stuff down to storage, stuff that was sitting around on the floor (shelves and framed pictures and whatnot that no longer are up on the walls), but I could easily take triple that and then still need to find places for a bunch of clutter.

Orange powdered cheese product in the can? Or chunk cheddar?
I deeply, deeply, DEEPLY love the orange powdered cheese product in the can and will, more often then not, eschew marinara sauce to top my pasta with powdered orange cheese product and butter.
Because, when I was a wee tot, I hated tomato sauce -- I wouldn't even eat pizza because of it. And so when my mom made spaghetti, in order to get me to eat it, she'd top it with that canned powdered cheese food product, on the grounds that it was similar to macaroni and cheese, which I loved. And it worked and I ate it.
So now it's this total Proustian comfort food for me, but the thing is, it's really hard to find that canned powdered orange cheese food product, so whenever I'm at the one store that carries it, I'll buy 4 cans. Because if I run out, there is hell to pay.
I do, these days, love a good tomato-based sauce, and will happily eat same. But there's something about the canned powdered orange stuff that makes me so happy.
I just had some nice pasta, and the good cheese was too melty or something. Also, I need to get the green-can cheese to put with butter on pita and broil. Delicious! And once referred to by my grandfather (possibly before I was born) as "those cardboard things," so that how I always think of them.

He better know better. He looked crosswise at Hellboy (my lunchbox), but at least he knew to call him Hellboy. If he slams the Batfamily, I can hardly be held responsible for my actions.
What is green-can cheese? I am feeling culinarily culturally adrift.
It's Kraft grated parmesan, ita.
ita, it's grated/powdered "parmesan" cheese - it comes in a green tube-shaped container (paper covered container).
The inevitable cross-post!

For some reason, my campus grocery store carries it. This store is maybe 15 feet square, if that, and has the oddest selection of goods I've ever seen. It has canned powdered orange cheese and several types of canned frosting. It has organic unsalted peanut butter, and Skippy. There is an entire aisle of potato chips. The only pasta they sell is the super-expensive organic one. The only cheese they sell is the really cheap processed kind.
The old campus grocery store that closed when this one opened used to sell whole frozen kosher chickens. At Passover, they'd have gallon jugs of borsht.
