MARMITE RULZ AND VEGEMITE SUX SHIT

WANT

ruby i don't want to bump that other thread so i'll say it here: there are some great Aberhart pix wow. would <3 <3 <3 a postcard thanks :)

cool! i thought you might like. i'll post my paper on this particular image i'm sending you so you understand it... (jokes! :))

please do

net images/postcards don't really do his work justice. i saw his exhibition last year and it was AMAZING. he really captures that latent 'settler nightmare' or colonial gothic image of nz, and avoids the stereotypical tacky icons.

soooooo serious
Is there an age before which children shouldn't have Marmite?

95

i got a super awesome american treat from lxy!

almond roca: buttercrunch toffee with almonds!

it is utterly DIVINE <3 <3 <3 <3

i can't stop eating this stuff

That does sound rather tasty. I'm a sucker for almonds.

ohyay, ruby! and guess what?!! MARMITE IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!

thank you thank you!

the two little jars look so sweet sitting on the windowsill together, waiting for their wee australian partner to arrive. it's like detente through jarred comestibles.

sara, do you want me to send you some almond roca? i will if you webmail your address!

okay now we've got 2 of 3 i'm baout ready to do this thing

jergins?

yes my dear

<3

the vegemite will be there soon, which means the small sweet surprise will be there soon too.

OMG SEATTLE POST OFFICE YOU DON'T SUCK SO BAD AFTERALL

i won't send that letter of complaint now.

(lxy, i have about 4 pieces of almond roca left... i'm such a piggy! but it is SO FREAKIN GOOD)

lxy, you are too sweet! You guys have to stop offering to send me things. I can't even get organized enough to get my bathrooms cleaned right now, much less send things via post office. The guilt will kill me!!!

hey lady i'm offering not asking so send your address already!

xox

ruby, i know, right? soooo good. the day i mailed it i had to go buy some for myself because it was all i could do to refrain from ripping open one of the packages.

once all three are here, i will do a proper test on toast. i will not count my black label experiment in the final results

also, jj and fb will still drink it.

So you're drinking toast now, too?

lxy, I will try to webmail my address to you and then this summer I will try to send something back. (Don't worry, not poop. That is strictly John's department, whatever he might tell you.)

O HAPPY DAY THE VEGEMITE HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!

we will have a taste test very soon and record our results here. live blog it? post pictures? youtube? who knows??!

anyway, thank you, dear estela, for the lovely package! thank you! thanks!

<3,
lxy

i think there should be categories in the judging, eg. best looking jar, nicest colour of spread, nicest texture, nicest smell, best taste with margarine, best taste with butter, best taste in a bloody mary, etc

nicest colour of spread

I don't think we should worry about this one.

live blog it?

lol @ u

those are good ideas, ruby! we could plan an entire contest weekend.

re color: why not?

re live blog: why not?

re trying to get this posted: pipe down for a second, all y'all.

categories are good. i rate everything!

lxy, isn't the vegemite label handsome?

colour: because they all look dégueulasse

there needs to be a best mailer's pet posing with a jar category.

i am so happy to have successfully mailed the vegemite, at times i doubted my abilities.

YOU DID GOOD!

who are our judges? me and lxy and remy and lingbert? what night? Wednesday would work well for me.

you can show lingbert what my dog looks like, i believe he will like him, he seems to have a soft spot for woolly fools.

they are darling, aren't they?

<3<3<3 our beautiful podium.

even a dirty windowsill can look lovely in the right light

the luminous glow of vegemite makes everything beautiful.

taste the vegemite already

email to linbert, remy, jergins

our overseas spreadables have all arrived!

are you free this wednesday for an evening of adventure?

I will so be there.

I like the bovril bottle.

yay, remy!

text to ligbert:

tasting party wednesday; you in?

(because i am impatient.)

you guys should have fifth party present to perform a blind test so there is no bias...

a blind (double-blind? is that what they call it?) taste test is a good idea

i emailed the windowsill photo to f. at work and he wrote back 'Yeechh!!!', i'm pretty sure he thinks they should all come last-equal.

linbert?
ligbert?
what kind of talk is this.
