a) blood

b) it is crammed with various feelings of various intensity

c) how would I know? I haven't seen it yet. Maybe it doesn't even exist, just a conspiracy of artists and scientists, going back to Leonardo's time...

a bemused smile

Sunday, ¿ question of the day ?

Have you ever experienced this funny feeling that you've become an actual adult?

If yes, when and how?

saturday: the whole fwking universe is in there. and blood, of course.


sunday: yes. a couple of years ago i went to the pub i used to frequent when i was 17 and it was still filled with 17 year olds. they were all so young.

Am I an actual adult yet? Dunno :confused: (And do I want to be that at all? Mmh... Gotta think that over the next one, two decades ;))

But the first time I felt sort of senior was either when a former maths student adressed me with "Sie" and "Frau B." this Friday evening, and then asked me whether I've already got my title cos it being almost 3 years ago I taught them in the excercises (woah! 3 years! feels like yesterday...).
Or on one Sunday or the other when my baby sis called me, in one of her cheeky moods ;), "a real grown-up" (but at least I fall in the cool category for her just like her mom (she'll be 51 this year) :D And she is totally cool! They have this girl commune household, borrowing each others clothes, make-up shoes, partying together, telling each other about funny stuff when they come home from partying, discussing the guys etc - I wanna be a grown-up like my stepmom when I'm a grown-up :))

only in an emergency

when your parents start behaving like children.

i think it happened today when i turned on nickelodeon for the first time in ages, saw a commercial that i felt was inappropriate for kids, and said to the spouse, "our kids are not watching that crap."

at that moment i not only became an adult, i became old.

saturday: an ice ax, a boxing glove, a bunch of daisies, and a roll of dental floss.

sunday: when I arranged to be wed in the church of a religion I don't believe in, simply because it would make my mother very happy.

New Q:

¿ What's your spice ?

me: ginger and crazy ideas

ceylon cinnamon. not as special as china cassia; unique, complex and less sweet than expected.

it used to be WEED


i guess it's basil-- strong, sweet and thrives in summer

chili, lots of it

i'm with ysapur!
also, galangal

bird pepper and flammable sculpture

new rule: no explaining the question!

mine would have to be "poivre 5 baies" - mixed peppercorns

makes everything so delicious

salt and light

cilantro...absolutely necessary for Indian, Thai, and Mexican cuisine, and therefore without it I'm nothing

posh

scary ...and cumin oh and lots of mixed pepper

There have been rumours that he's opened a tattoo studio in Croatia, tattooing elvish swearwords on chosen body parts.

^Ysa speaks true and when he's not working he's cruising round the mystical Balkans with his bike,
looksee here:

good work

i'm afraid he's quite unavailable right now, he's dealing with an urgent message delivered by legolas earlier today.

AA cancelled his flight - he's stuck in Denver airport, obviously

Your mind itself is Gandalf. Do not look beyond it for him.

They are made up from taterinos which come in various flavours: mashed, salt&buttered, stewey, crispy, chipsy, pancakey, filled...

^nice try but we both know you lifted that sentence straight out of your thesis

^Sorry, it was too tempting to just c&p ;)


OK: Taters are a friendly tribe, living beyond 8 hills and 3½ rivers from where you stand at the moment, they tame and ride rubber ducks and speak a language consisting only of vowels and are thus not happy about the name they were given by the adventurer T. A. T. Ers who was almost run over by a rubber duck when he crossed the ½ river in 1713.

taters, precious, is the colloquial name for a rather delightful flavor of cajun spiced chips.

they're called

Oh, and I thought it referred to the Tator family, who, like the Medicis in Italy, have always had important behind-the-scenes political influence in the Americas. Dick has some interests in Venezuela, but - so I've heard - his power and vews are seeping into other countries as well.

zero, what's the question of the hour?

you know

i've tried to explain why i laughed so fwking hard and scared everybody at work today-- it happened reading this thread. i even showed both youtube clips.

seriously, nobody thinks it's funny. except you all here. tears of joy, people.
