We now ask ourselves, does this belong on a comic-centric forum?

Only for readers who possess a stomach.

I am on topic, if that's possible in an off-topic forum.

It isn't. Being on topic in the off topic forum is a violation of the purpose of the off topic forums. If I catch anyone posting about EGS, its characters or its continuity here, they will be dealt with accordingly. In case of repeated offences, I may have to resort to suspension of posting privileges or even to temporary or permanent banning.

Clearly comments like the one referred to must appear in colored text which changes color every 2D6 letters.

I have one of these. I keep him chained in the back yard and feed him on printouts of arguments on 4chan. His manic howls soothe me to sleep at night.

I didn't think anything on 4chan qualified as an argument. I thought it all went into the abuse room.

I have no idea, I never actually try to read the stuff. I just print stacks of it out and leave it where the poor sod can reach it. He can't make himself leave it alone.

Just finished off the remainder of a Chorizo Burger from Whataburger. Mrs. Prof asked them to "go light on the peppers." I think they put one tiny strip of bell pepper on it, then slapped a "no pickles" sticker on the bag. (Chorizo Burger don't got no pickles in da first place.)

Bland, dry, stale, and crumbly butter cookies.  Manufactured in Europe and shipped in tins to USA.

But there is something lacking.

These cookies are missing the specific blandness I have come to expect from imported butter cookies.

It turns our the cookies I received this year were from Portugal.  Not Royal Dansk.

Nothing against Portugal.  But no one can match the Danes for bland, tasteless, and stale cookies.  And I should know.  My ancestry is from Britain.  The Island that taught the world the art of bad cooking and bad oral hygiene.

I don't remember seeing pictures or video of a Windsor Pyramid.

*** TEA PORN ***

Drinking too-hot Lapsang Souchong. You've got to brew the stuff at around 194°F, but then IMHO you've really got to let it cool to let the flavors have a fighting chance to be tasted. Otherwise, you're zooming the pleasant brew past the tongue, or burning it with it. Now going through a bit of a cool-down cycle.

Pepper Steak from the Chinese take out place in the strip mall down the block.

This is not a chain or franchise restaurant.
So why does it look and taste exactly the same as the pepper steak meals I've had in many different cities?

Hot coco made from coco power.   I may have found the missing step in making this.  Mix the sugar and coco together BEFORE you add the table spoon of milk to make the paste. Worked out well.  Will do again, possibly tonight.

How much cocoa powder, how much sugar?  To make one cup?  Add hot milk or hot water to the paste?  My sister expressed an interest in hot cocoa last weekend, maybe we can all have some next weekend!

[mlooney 3,417]

2 tea spoons sugar, 1 tea spoon coco.  Mix.

Add about 2 table spoons of cold milk.   Mix until it's a paste.

Add about 1 cup milk, microwave for about 1 minute, or until hot enough for you.  Mix again.

Off to make some right now.

A Night Hawk brand "Taste of Texas" TV dinner.

It didn't taste as good coming up as it did going down. Couldn't get the Zofran inside of me fast enough.

Decaf "Constant Comment" hot "tea".

Grilled shrimp and part of a medium-rare New York Strip, thanks to my wife who brought it back from a high-falutin' git-together of the Garland Pet Adoption Center or something like that. She bought an extra plate for me at Saltgrass and brought it home. Nom.
