Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Unlike Hil, I consider the olives to be the defining ingredient of the muffaletta - even moreso than the bread.
So you're saying that, if you put the meat and cheese and olives onto a sub roll, you'd still have a muffaletta, rather than a sub with olives?

If you had a muffeletta you'd understand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
you asked specifically what you were eating if you only ate the olives. I think in that instance, you're eating olives.
I was going by the bit of his argument I now see he has now discarded.
Because now he seems he thinks there is an irreducible essence too. Which involves bread, so far.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I just realised something - I'm arguing about sandwich zen.
Hooookay, time to go contemplate my belly button.

It would be a poor muffeletta but would have greater claim to that name than having everything but the olives on the proper bread.

Mostly I'm giggling my ass off, trying to figure out just how far into the absurd we can push the muffaleta conversation.

And you think my rebuttal was lame?
Weak.

Hec, I've not only eaten tapenade without the capers - which by the way can kill me - I've made tapenade without capers.
And it was, though I say so myself, tapenade. Damned good tapenade, too.
And if some guy named Anatole in Villefranche-sur-Mer wants to dis my caperless yet nonfatal tapenade because the essence of tapenade is surely the capers?
He can baiser mon cul.
Damn it. I'm still arguing about fucking sandwich zen.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm perfectly content. I know what I'm eating. Or not eating, unfortunately, since I am muffaletta-less.
