  1. I tried vegetarianism once, too. It was a nightmare! I woke up. Confronted myself in the mirror. Slapped my jaws. And called myself "Queer" three times.
  2. I love you. Marry me. Not a big sushi fan, either. I'd rather have a plank of meat before me. I eat like a horse.
  3. The USDA defines bacon as "the cured belly of a swine carcass"; other cuts and characteristics must be separately qualified (e.g., "smoked pork loin bacon"). "USDA Certified" bacon means that it has been treated for trichinella. The word is derived from the Old High German bacho, meaning "back", "ham", or "bacon".
  4. Some interesting reading for you. All tales therein can be found on Wikibooks.
  5. From what I have seen, I would have to agree. Could be due to the great romances of the Mabinogion.
  6. Well... I want a pound of young swine bacon. I bet it's tender as all get out.
  7. Yeah... I love Catherine Zeta Jones, she's Welsh.
  8. I'm Venezulan-Italian-Irish American... I'm a wop mick. There I said it before anyone else. And No! My family and I are not secret supporters of Hugo Chavez. I vehemently abhor that little bastard.
  9. For me, it's a resounding "YES!". It's not a pecker-stiffening smell, but it does arouse me.
  10. In questionnaires like that, I used to check "Other". Nowadays I check every box. I'm a mutt.
  11. I know exactly what you mean. On one hand, it's kind of cool to see some of the characters come to life. On the other, it's one persons idea of what the character should look like. Not necessarily your own unique idea. I think everyone can agree that Peter Jackson's rendering of Gandalf was very close to what can be imagined by the reader. What about Aragorn? What about Grima Wormtongue? What about Lord Denethor?
  12. Pork is food and relatively easy to snare food. I killed me a boar when I was only three.
  13. My first wife's great grandparents were from Lesbos. Thus, making them Lesbians. However her parents would say that they were "Greek".
  14. That might explain why he's so dark. He must be Italian.
  15. Be sure you get the grammar correct before you go to printing these shirts.
  16. You know the Jews were forced to wear signs in Nazi Germany (among other areas in direct control). I can spot a stupid person a mile away. Just look at this message board, for example, anyone posting after IWS is STUPID.
  17. So... Obama is made of wax?
  18. Ask any waitress at any given "greasy spoon" as to how many men they meet because they go home smelling of bacon. They'll tell you stories of seduction, they'll tell you stories of passion, and they'll tell you stories of good eating.
  19. Honey... you fry me up a pound of bacon and fetch me a beer: I'm putty in your hands. [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=e4Ts4TtEwDc]YouTube - Brett Novek Taco Bell Commercial 30 sec[/ame]
  20. It's a glorified sewing circle.
  21. Oh man... I love me some ham. Bacon... oh my god. The greatest food EVER.
  22. What do you expect? It was 1977!
  23. The Lord of the Rings novel was not considered a trilogy until Peter Jackson came in and made the movies. In essence, the Lord of the Rings novel is in fact a remake, a retelling if you will, because: 1) Tolkien considered himself a "translator" of the Redbook of Westmarch, which is the fantastical book written by Bilbo and then Frodo and then to Samwise and on down. From the came "There and Back Again (the Hobbit)" and the Lord of the Rings. 2) Tolkien was heavily influenced by Celtic and Germanic mythology and languages. Some of the same elements, he drew upon to write his fictious stories about Middle Earth. I greatly enjoyed the movies for what they were, the greatest made in that genre and the sheer magnitude of the production, but was left with a yearning to see more. I was so dissappointed that Jackson did not include the "Scouring of the Shire", which tells of the final fate of Saruman, Grima, and how the Hobbits react in a pinch. Oh well... I'm looking forward to a remake of the Hobbit and hope it sticks a little closer to Tolkien's original story.
  24. Well in the meantime, pigs is delicious.
