Congrats! You Win!

I'm sure it won't grow here. Nothing does. Except for Irn-Bru plants.

I wonder if they'd grow here? And I'm wondering if there's something wrong with me because I actually like Irn Bru.

I thought that ham came from hamsters.

Those have got to be some damn big hamsters! That could make a really good bad horror movie, too.

While there is non-pork bacon, no restaurant I have ever visited uses such. So..I am at a loss here. Think she needs to go to a kosher restaurant or deli..or something. Cause..comments like that causes intelligent people to do the BSoD.

I recently read a blog post from a guy who made his own kosher bacon. Posted the recipe, too. I actually live not far from the kosher meatpacker where he bought his beef plate, maybe one of these days I'll try it myself. Looks wonderful.

(I shall do this after I have my cholesterol tested. Not before.)

Depends on the genetics of the Bacon Bush.


If it was like the food-synthesis factories of a classic science fiction story (built to avoid the killing of any plant or animal) whose products are indistinguishable from the real thing...

In New Mexico? Seeing how similar the climate there is with Scotland (i.e., not at all), it is unlikely

And I'm wondering if there's something wrong with me because I actually like Irn Bru.

It's OK. I guess.
Did you try it anywhere outside of Scotland?

Nice idea... a ham hamster farm going wild...

Along the same lines:

Last name Kim - "is that Korean or Asian?" when it was explained to him that Korea is a Country on the Continent of Asia his eyes glazed over. (apparently Koreans aren't Asian... who knew)

Much more than just using cultural slang, Australian English is a full-blown dialect of modern English, with its own influences, lexicon changes, borrowings, syntax variants, pragmatic markers, and so on. Mutually intelligible with other dialects of English, but still much more than some simple word swap-outs.

Yay linguistics!

Well, there were the Giant Space Hamsters (halfway down), bred by Gnomes to act as both a power supply and food source for their spaceships. I think their meat was called Spaham, though.

Is it bad that I knew that was from Spelljammer without clicking the link?

I think I need a life.

I don't know about that. I saw an awful lot of yucca*, pampas grass, and some weird-ass cactus growing over there.

*That was almost the first plant that I saw at Painshill Park in England 4 years ago. I though maybe I was hallucinating because I was very jet-lagged, but then my parents were seeing the same thing....

It's OK. I guess.

Haven't been able to get anywhere but there until recently. And I'm still not sure if I want to pay the shipping charges on the one website I could order it from.

[Tama]

Buy some for yourself for Christmas.

Doesn't the Bible have some story about a dude who talked to a burning bacon bush?

I think so . . .Moses liked his bacon well done.

That is exactly what I'd expect from Painshill Park, from what I read about it!

The lengths people would go to in order to get their Irn-Bru fix...

...admittedly they have awesome Christmas advertisements. Actually they have awesome adverts, in general.
(not trying to spam, it is just for the artistic value of the clips. No, honestly, I do not work for them)

I want Chicken Fried Bacon now... and since I have been ill for several days that's definitely an improvement.
