Nope, Minnesotan to the core. xp

Minnesotan to the core... which is BRITISH

What IS a corndog, anyway?

;-)

More Scandinavian-ish, but British would be preferable.

xp Yeah, and French, too. I'll also cop to German and Irish (or possibly Scottish; suddenly the Irish is in question)

wait, are you telling me an American doesn't like a corndog????

Dan, you are dead to me.

YES. (me) xp

If you were really Scandinavian, you'd be so busy eating things like lye-soaked cod and rotting shark that a little barbecue sauce or a corn dog would be culinary child's play.

Also I think John misparsed my sentence. ;_;

lol, i've never had a corndog either i should STFU

perhaps corn dogs are simply too spicy for the scandanavian

WTF QUE

OKAY SO THIS IS MY WORLD RIGHT NOW:

I usually deny the Norwegian thing for the reason of LUTEFISK (who's going to defend *that*?!), but lefse... yes, I'll have some plz.

Also I have eaten plenty of questionable things in my life.

this is all getting very 2g1c

I have no idea how to interpret "2g1c"

AHEM. My best example: raw crab. Bad taste, horrific texture.

there is a great SUMMERTIME CORNDOG FUNSTAND about 3 blocks from me, its like i live next door to a state fair 5 months a year!

(xp) I would tell you to google it but I like you.

I don't know why I cannot resist looking these things up. SIGH

"2g1c": Bad taste, horrific texture.

Really, just the bacterial contamination issue alone is TERRIFYING

you know I STILL have never seen that awful, awful thing

In college we decided that corn dogs were the perfect food because they have all four food groups: corn (grain), dog (meat), breading (made with dairy), and ketchup (veggie/fruit if you pull the "tomato is a fruit" crap). I live by that reasoning still.

That is my thinking about PIZZA

I'm impressed that you have resisted thus far. xp

NATURE'S PERFECT FOOD

Raw crab?
Also, not Norwegian and I will defend lutefisk.

But I like almost anything that is smoked or pickled.

Or soaked in LYE?!

Man Sara I'm a filthy vegetarian and even I like corndogs (Abbs otm in re: Satan's Meatless Corndogs).

My best friend and her husband are vegetarians and they eat those all the time. I just cannot, seeing as how I don't even like real corndogs!

Gah, I'm surrounded on all sides.

surrounded by corn dogs = HEAVEN

surrounded by corndog-wielding nutcases = PURGATORY

wtf who's wasting time wielding a corndog when you could be eating it? psychos

mr yuk sticker

the corn dogs at Cedar Point have got to be the best in the world. They're not frozen: they take the dog, skewer it, dip it in batter, and fry it.

I would like to try corn bratwurst sometime

Okay, that sounds better.

wait, I just thought of the most amazing idea

corncorn

uhhh how do you typically buy corn dogs at stands? do they take them out of a freezer & microwave them in front of you?

Shit.

xpost, but, y'know, not.

Lately I've gotten the notion while reading fiction that writing a good ending is really, really difficult. I've run into trite endings and a few that didn't make any sense at all.

xp LOL

It started early for you, then.

i want to say yes.....

Damned fish in '1 fish, 2 fish' got on my nerves, too.

agree with you on endings, particularly with anything fantasy-y

There has to be a word for that

Stephen King Syndrome

lol, funnily enough I was thinking specifically of a book by Stephen King's son, Joe Hill (_Horns_). Great concept, the end is a mishmash of wtf happened?

At least w Stephen King I usually understand what he was trying to get at...

no, i meant fantasy-y

Pat endings don't satisfy. Many non-ending endings don't satisfy. Improbable endings don't satisfy. One of the things I most adored about Maugham short stories as a kid was how often they had perfect endings.

Also took it into my head to read the first _30 Days of Night_ graphic novel which was all great concept and terrible everything else.

the movie is actually pretty decent

xp Michael, that's how I felt about Ray Bradbury short stories when I was younger, but now I'm afraid to go back and re-read them because I'm afraid I'll think they suck now

they don't, not at all

"The Veldt" is still terrifying

Dan - it's in my Netflix queue, just haven't been in a vampire-y mood since reading that. Loved the first two _Walking Dead_ graphic novels and am lobbying for more of them for Mother's Day.

Oh, man, "The Veldt" is what got me hooked...

I used to go to the library and use the CARD CATALOG to find Bradbury books that weren't on the HSTNGS shelves. I remember using little slips of paper to make requests. Sometimes it even worked!

Man, I love the internets...

Yeah after a bunch of musing I recently realized that in retrospect I pretty much hated the Panera series as well.

well what do you expect when you read a series that's about Caesar salad flavored coffee drinks?

to be up all night burping anchovies

I feel like there's probably some lower GI effects possible here, too, but I'll refrain from elaborating.

I come to bury caeser, not to make pastries and beverages that taste like him

there's an obvious, environmentally conscious solution here that will save you time...

SOYLENT GREEN IS CAESAR!!!

btw everyone here loves me enough to go buy a copy of The Mountain Goats' All Eternals Deck this week, right

You get a royalty? Niiiice, I figured you got a flat fee.

no royalties, I just want to be able to say "I was on an album that debuted in Billboard's Top 200"

yeah, I was making a horribly formed not-even-a-joke. Congrats on being on the record, btw!

^_^ TY

whoa, I didn't know about that! Cool!!!

I guess I'd better try to find some spending money!

maybe you could sell some of your magic beans that you grow in imaginationville

I'll sell you a thousand acres there. I think you'll like it, as long as you stay away from some of the stupider stuff (if you see someone sparkling in the sunlight, RUN!).

oh no, you have ravers

haven't figured out how to eradicate them yet

tried feeding them the magic beans, but that just led to unpleasant intestinal problems for them, which quickly becomes a problem for everyone else

PS John - do NOT eat the magic beans!

you can repel them with liberal doses of Nickelback

side-effects include: having to listen to Nickelback

lol, could be worse

a neverending loop of "Achy Breaky Heart" will repel *anything*

you can also thin them out by asking to see their resumes

but the ones who stay will be super-persistent and will regale you with tales of their work experience, so it's best to use this strategy judiciously

you can make the ones who stay mow your lawn

if your outdoor holdings are more expansive than that, you can grt them to actually separate the wheat from the chaff

lol
