The Lounge

[lang]

So we've got a slew of members but no one's been really talking much (except for business.... psssht!). Anyways, thought I'd try to start a little coffee table talk thingy here. So..... uh, *thinking*..., why do they call it instant noodles when they take 5 minutes to make? I mean, I could whip up an omelette faster. :chef:

[cre8or]

Mmmmm.
Omelette.
Eggs... nature's perfect food.

[Klaas Koopman]

when a sheep is in the rain, why doesn't it shrink?

[lang]

I know I'm pretty miserable when I'm caught in the rain and my clothes are all soaked. I can't imagine how unbearable that must be for sheep. While we're on the topic, this may be a stupid question that I should know from my elementary days, but are sheep native to North America at all?

[Klaas Koopman]

what do you mean with native to north america?

[cre8or]

Here's something I always wanted to know:
Why is we drive on a Parkway, and park in a Driveway?

[Klaas Koopman]

hmm yes nice one :lol2:

[lang]

Well, what I meant to ask was if sheep were ever naturally a part of North America's eco-system, or if they were introduced and domesticated from another content... but enough about all this CRAZY FUN stuff! :rolleyes:

Did you know that Canadians refer to freeways as highways (for all you non Canadians), and that Canadians use the word pylon instead of cone (traffic cones that is). Okay, I'll stop now before someone deletes me...

[Julie]

Hey, I'm American and I always use highways--what the heck's a freeway? :)

[lang]

But the real questions is... do you call it soda or pop? :blink:

[Julie]

Why, pop, of course :rolleyes:

[Raja]

why do men have nipples

[lang]

I know what Rox spent his weekend thinking about.

[Klaas Koopman]

men have nipples since women and man evolved from 1 sort... i guess! WOO SMART ME!

oh and it's not soda, it's not pop, it's SODAPOP

[Paverchic]

1. Kimber is right!
2. In this region everything is referred to as 'a coke'. I.E. Do you want a coke? Sure, I'll have a Sprite and she wants a Diet Pepsi. And, no, I have no idea why.

Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

[Raja]

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

To keep their brains from painting the target.

So you can hear the voices in your head telling you where to go.

Not quite.

So with all the conflicting advice and health advocates, I'm still confused as to how many eggs a day we should be eating.... Kimber?

You can eat as many eggs as you like now. :)

I will try and find some sources to this statement.

[lang]

Really? What are they feeding chickens these days? Low fat chicken feed?

[platinum]

eggs are high in protein actually ;)

[ElKootcho]

You know, I've always said that there weren't enough egg conversations on the internet :blink:

[ejlain]

Sheep? Eggs? Kamikaze helmets…
Hmmmm, this Lounge is a very scary place isn't it? :P

[Raja]

Kimber, you know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance?

[cre8or]

Because it only comes in 12" x 24" sheets, and can't be welded together.

[Victoria]

:o I never knew that.

[cre8or]

Psst... Victoria <_<
I'm just makin' this **** up. :)

[Raja]

Oh Gr8 Cre8or, why do tourists go to the tops of tall buildings and then put money into telescopes so they can see things on the ground close-up?

[Klaas Koopman]

A few 'delicacies' that I've been forced to try in the last little while I thought I'd mention:

- Roasted field mice
- King cobra
- Scorpion
- Bat
- Crickets (actually, just a leg and I got too grossed out)
- Pig brain

What I wouldn't give for a pepperoni and cheese pizza! :sick:

[Julie]

I've got a great recipe if you can get ahold of some tomatoes, flour and some cheese :D Maybe we should all pool together and send you one freeze-dried or something!

[lang]

I have an unquestionable talent of gathering an assortment of great foods and then removing every ounce of goodness and nutrition from them when I try to put them together. The last time I made a pizza, I forgot that the sauce is layed on first, and not last. :blink:

Because they have an inferiority complex.

Hmm...maybe I shouldn't give you that recipe--the crust contains yeast and that means all that kneading and rising and punching down jazz. Maybe we can send you one of those boxes with the magic pizza crust powder and a can of sauce that my mom used to use. :P

[Klaas Koopman]
