They can put a man on the moon, BUT... - Page 3

I love strawberries, I don't like strawberries in anything. Rhubarb is the yuck.

I might eat a pumpkin pie, or ice cream or chocolate pie. Even my cheeseburger pie. But no other fruit pie except apple.

Why don't they make a Cherry Celery Pie? Huh? Huh? I'll tell you why: because it's a bad idea!

Or Blueberry Asparagus Pie?

See that's why strawberry/rhubarb is such a magical thing. Not all flavors go together. But strawberry/rhubarb is special. Really.

You should try it. * Uses hypnotizing eyes on IM *

I'm sure that I've seen it around. I've heard of it. Even heard of just rhubarb pie. But I don't like rhubarb.

*giggles* I have a friend who KNOWS I cannot stomach mayonaisse, but she will talk about her deviled eggs, or her potato salad (things I cannot stand) and be like "NO, you HAVE to try MINE." She can't get it in her head that I do not like. Anything I say I don't like and I just HAVE to try THIS one or THAT one. Like I'll have some kind of revelation: angels will start singing as the clouds open up and sunshine rains down on my face.

Like another friend was talking about these meatballs this girl made. She put sauerkraut in them. I hate sauerkraut. "Oh yeah, but you can't even TASTE the sauerkraut." So why bother putting it in?

Yes, I am strong in my convictions when it comes to foods I will not eat.

People are like that with dogs too. "Oh but you'll just love my Ruffkin, he wouldn't bite you, he's more liklely to lick you to death" Like that's a good thing? ugh.

They can put a man on the moon, but despite my father buying better and better TVs, our reception is shit in the kitchen and the back bedroom. You have to switch it onto Sky to get a good reception in the kitchen, but only if it's the same Sky channel the person in the living room is watching. Ahem, I would be in the living room if I was watching the same programme.

And it used to be that you could get a decent reception up here on the terrestrial channels. Lord alone knows how this one is wired up (Sky used to be on channel 6 - BBC1 now appears to be on channel 8)

It's something that apparently be fixed when we switch over to Digital?!
I have my doubts.
These new TVs should be crystal clear, not look like a colour version of the moon landings. Something is wrong somewhere.

I always have a couple of cobblers nearby.

Ha, this same friend is that way about dogs. About any pet, really, except fish. She just plain doesn't care for them. She's not a hater, and is nice to friends' dogs, but would prefer them to pay attention to someone else (ME! I get all stupid and lovey with doggehs.) I don't throw dogs at her thinking she'll all of a sudden LOVE them.

They can put a man on the moon, but they can't put corn starch in a packet you can use without spilling drifts of it everywhere.

ZenGum · 06-24-2011, 03:22 AM

You need NASA's zero-G cornstarch tubes!
