Hello all! I am new, but I brought Buttershots to go with the Bailey's. Hope that gets me a leg up in the friend-making department...
:hi: Welcome to the Pub and to the watercooler. I'll have a buttershot. Never had one before, but you gotta try anything once.

I think you may have fallen down a rabbit hole if your food is talking to you...;)
You're saying talking food isn't normal? :Wha:

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You don't know about Buttershots? It is a rich butterscotch-flavored Schnapps, and it mixes VERY well with Baileys. Yummmmm!

This is kind of a cultural backwater. :D

It was always one of my ambitions to eat a Twinkie, but then I found out they had beef fat in them. A friend in Ohio was going to send me some, and said you couldn't taste the beef, but since I'm vegetarian that wasn't really the issue. :D

We do get Hershey's though. I think it's kinda yucky. Sorry. :e2flowers

Update on troll: It has been nullified. Everyone must send Lisa (aka medievalist) mucho reps. She is great.

Okay, yep, buttershots sound real good. Hi Madeline! and :welcome:

Fran... "cultural backwater" LOL!

and no, Hershey's is not, shall we say, the pinnacle of the chocolatier's artistry. Not even in the same category.

Not even food.

Not even..... well, not even as good as a Twinkie.

When I went to Canada I was asked to take a ton of Cadbury's. It's expensive over there, and not the same stuff we get anyway (I'm told - I didn't try it.) Like, $2 for a Flake or something. :eek: I got four for about $2.50. :D

Okay, I got a mission for everyone. Go to this thread and rep every post Medievalist has made with dancing bananas. She really does deserve loads of reps with the amount of work she does.

In case you don't know what a dancing banana is: :banana:

And to get that in a rep, type : banana : (but without the spaces)

Oh, my God, I just read the most mental thing ever on Facebook. There is smoke coming out the back of Google while I try to find out what's going on.

I'm not going to say what it is, because I think it's total bunk, and I don't want to cast aspersions on anyone's character, even if they are long-dead. :D

I have repped Lisa with bananas. I even put a x on the end.

Okay. I have satisfied myself that the Facebook rumour is bunk. I can now return to my normal schedule of loafing. :D

So, what was it then?

I mean, now you can assure us it is bunk, no reason not to share for entertainment value, right?

Someone left one of the basement doors open and let in a troll. I'm betting it was Snape, but I'd not be surprised if it wasn't actually Hermoine. There is just something about her that makes me think she is working for He-who-shan't-be-blamed.

Did she cook it? We've had some very tasty burnt troll here in the pub.

:hi: Welcome. Buttershots, wonderful!

That's a bummer. . :e2bummed:

Okay. Some guy has announced a book "proving" Vincent Van Gogh was Jack the Ripper, based on a Ripper letter dated 19th July 1889 in comparison with a Van Gogh letter written on 10th October 1888.

Detective Inspector Fran has established:

1. There is no record of a Ripper letter from that date, and only three are remotely accepted as genuine. The From Hell letter, the Saucy Jack postcard, and the Dear Boss letter. Few historians believe any others to be authentic. The handwriting on the From Hell letter does not match Van Gogh's. It is possible that such a letter exists, buried in an archive somewhere, but if no Jack the Ripper websites have mentioned it, it's unlikely to have any significance.

2. Van Gogh was in France, wasted out of his mind, for most of 1888. He had lived around London for a time, but left the UK in 1876-ish and doesn't appear to have ever returned.

3. In August/September 1888, when the Ripper killings occured, Van Gogh was in Arles, France. He was doing a wee doodle called Sunflowers. Gauguin joined him in early September 1888. There's no record of him visiting London during this time.

Here endeth the lesson. *bows* :tongue

Yep, it's on the BBQ as we speak. Just need some onion rings and garlic battered mushrooms.

Fran, yes. Some famous writer even said something like that, something like a writer is working even while staring out the window, or some such.

For example, right now I am pondering whether or not to take the car, my Alice!, for one last drive, to go get some ice cream. (Ice cream for me, not for the car. She is in good shape with her half tank of gas and having had her rugs vacuumed yesterday.)

This may seem like the sheerest waste of time, both the pondering and the eventual going, and perhaps even a waste of money.

However, it is not so. I am working, I maintain, as long as I am awake and paying attention.

:D

As well, it is a natural hiatus in the moving projects at the moment, so I believe I do need some ice cream.

It sounds like you deserve it too :)

I think ice cream is a major food group. Think of it as in investment in your future happiness. :D

My kids totally agree with you :D

Oh, that kind of troll. I was going to say, "oh, sorry, that was me", but it really wasn't!

:welcome: MadelineButterfly! Buttershots! Yumm.

Okay, I got a mission for everyone.

Mission accomplished. :)

So, what was it then?

I'm with Kylabelle. You should tell :p

Those looking to see the remnants of trolls need look no further than locked threads in the newbie forum. Just saying, for those who were wondering. ;)

Yes. So ignore the last part of my last post, since apparently it took me forever to get it up and I missed the fact that Fran had already told. lol

It happens to me too. I put it down to getting old and all the smoking I've done over the years. ;)

Well, at least it's not just me. ;) I, however, don't have any good excuses.

Yeah, I saw it. S/he also told someone else in another thread to smoke lots of drugs to get story ideas. I'm sure their valuable contributions will be sorely missed. :tongue
