Talking Rain, Yes I Said Talking Rain

I always thought organic meant tastes like shit, and now I know I was right. This stuff tastes like shit, dissolved in seltzer water. I tasted no citrus whatsoever.:greenface

HungLikeJesus 06-17-2010 10:10 PM

What does organic mean when it comes to spring water? Wouldn't you thing organic flavor meant no flavor? This reinforces my belief that all organic labeling is just bad marketing.

Clodfobble 06-17-2010 10:57 PM

If your unflavored water tastes like "citrus twist," you have a filtering problem.

Urbane Guerrilla 06-18-2010 01:11 AM

OTOH, take the water from your Brita filter pitcher, and some nice, natural orange peel, and twist it into the glass before you pour the water in... there you go. Pretty much organic.

Sundae 06-18-2010 06:33 AM

It's sparkling though. So you take the water from your Brita filter, put it through your Soda Stream etc etc

HungLikeJesus 06-18-2010 08:16 AM

Is there such a thing as unnatural orange peel?

...Unless the orange has been sprayed with pesticides, or the tree has been fed conventional fertilizers.

My love, do you ever dream of, candy coated raindrops?

Shawnee123 06-18-2010 11:59 AM

If rain could talk, what would it say? "Oh hai, I just dropped in to sea you. Water you doing? Going to visit your mudder? Pour woman, her neighbors just keep spouting off. Oh well, I'll come again some other day!"

:)

Flint 06-18-2010 12:00 PM

Rain would say the same thing dogs say when they are barking, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Undertoad 06-18-2010 12:06 PM

No no, it's that Prince song.

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the talking rain

Talking Rain, Talking Rain...

Flint 06-18-2010 12:09 PM

This is what it sounds like when doves cry.

Sundae 06-18-2010 04:08 PM

Tell me when the animals strike curious poses - I want it for the LOLcats thread.

spudcon 06-18-2010 08:45 PM

Water is not, and cannot be organic. No carbon, no organized life form. It's an inorganic chemical.

lol I liked that.

You should be a stand up comedian ;)

( professionally paid that is and not the lounge chair slap stick expert you are now. I don't know that the pay off is that great :P)

Shawnee123 06-18-2010 09:34 PM

My mom always said I should be on stage...on the next one out of town. Ba DUM dum.

Are we talking rain or a light drizzle? Mist or a hurricane? What's it gonna be?

Shawnee123 06-18-2010 10:43 PM


Urbane Guerrilla 06-20-2010 03:27 AM

Glukk... gag me with an absinthe spoon. Not a fan of that song. I think I should listen to some of the better-fidelity bagpipe selections on YouTube to wash the taste out of my ears.

Not, for instance, those couple of YouTubes shot on top of a windy Scottish mountain-peak recorded with the camera's mike and no wind-cover. Difficult to appreciate the playing if the wind effects wreck the sound.

Shawnee123 06-20-2010 06:26 AM

It had my toe tapping. I love the old 70s songs.

squirell nutkin 06-20-2010 09:50 AM

keeping with the thread theme....doesnt it rains alot in England?

skysidhe 06-20-2010 10:53 AM

Looks like a great place to eat!

Undertoad 06-20-2010 12:06 PM

Their fish and chips comes with tartar sauce. TARTAR SAUCE!

I accuse you of heresy most foul.

Everybody knows that malt vinegar is the appropriate condiment, with an honest salt shaker of course.

BigV warned you what would happen and now it has happened. I'm not paying attention to any more of your posts until you at least go to ƒucking ßermuda and get some real fish and chips from a real British son of the Monarch!

skysidhe 06-20-2010 01:58 PM

lol

I saw those fish and chips (yum)!

Sundae 06-20-2010 02:59 PM

Nope, tartar sauce is the correct condiment for a plate of fish & chips.
But by all that's holy - where are the peas!!!

Plated fish is always served with peas. And bread and butter for the traditionalists.

I'm not going to pick the menu apart as not being sufficiently English - I know many of the dishes in "American-style" places here would be unrecognisable to you. So instead I'll just say thanks for the link. It made me smile - and not in a patronising way.

monster 06-20-2010 03:57 PM

they need to hold the goddamned coleslaw.

summer salads
Nope. "Salad"? We don't do "salad". Not in a pub. Not reely.

DanaC 06-20-2010 08:14 PM

You can get salad in a pub. It's that little sprig of flowery looking lettuce, slice of cucumber and two cherry tomatoes, that sits at the side of the real food :P

monster 06-20-2010 08:37 PM

I put the summer salads on ignore -I figured they were just trolling that menu...

But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name.
And brave the storm to come, for it surely looks like rain

I dunno. I think I'd be scared to meet up with it sudden like.

Gravdigr 06-29-2010 03:48 PM

I'm ashamed of myself and all of you for not getting this one sooner.
