    Why not? I used to eat squirrel at my grandpa's house, and sometimes had to spit out buckshot or pick a little fur out of my teeth now and then.

    I am slightly traumatized by the idea of eating cutie patootie squirrels and chipmunks.

    GrubHub annoys me because I should have more willpower than I do to have food delivered. Goodness gracious.

    The brains are bad for you, though. My ancestors in the hills of Tennessee would eat the brains, but apparently now there's some fatal brain disease that you can contract from them.

    Grubhub annoys me because they take 30% of the drop and are the most poorly managed operation I've ever had the displeasure of doing business with. No accountability. No recompense. No effort to pretend that they give a shit about their partners, customers, or employees... if that's what you want to call them. I am proud to say that they have "recorded for quality assurance" my personal disdain for them on many, many occassions. Any other company would have reported me for verbal abuse many times over. If they were a company. But they're not.

    I love that song! It takes me back to club days. I had to listen to it immediately. Next up, "Days Go by" by Dirty Vegas. :bigcool:

    Edit: Listening to those two songs made me want to roll again. :love: :angle::friend:(I know I'm using these emojis wrong, but it looks like the E pit at a rave to me.) :)

    *sending mass email*
    Me: these are the rules. I will ONLY be discussing these rules.
    Response 1: thanks! great! i have a question about [non-email/rules related grievance]
    Me: :nosleep: i'm not talking about this.
    Response 2: those are nice rules, but i was hoping you could bend them for me because i just dont feel like waiting that long
    Me: -slow burning rage- please reread email of rules.


    (obviously i exaggerated the responses and my replies.... but thats pretty much the gist of my morning)

    When non-rapping rappers try to drop a rhyme,
    but they only know now one meter, and it’s this one every time.
    It comes from the 80’s and it’s tired to the bone.
    If you do not rap, how’bout you leave the rap alone.

    I was thinking the same thing only the other day. I have to endure shit music on my way to work (I am getting a lift there and back after all) and English rappers are crap! It's almost like they're in a live rap-off thing and have to quickly conjure up ridiculous end-rhymes on the spot.

    Get yo gun outta my face
    It's just not my (uumm) pace!
    Go see the doctor
    I think his name is.... Proctor.
    Am cruising the hood
    hoping to spill some blood.
    No one dares cross me
    cos it'll cost a... fee.

    Fucking memes! And yes I realise this will have members queuing up to post memes as some kind of ironic response, but really...

    I never get them! You know that feeling you get when you're in the company of people who suddenly decide to share an in-joke? That's how I feel every time I see one of these things!

    The fact my homemade iced coffee ice doesn't stay ice as long as the coffee shop stuff does. What do they have that I don't?

    As daft as it sounds I've never had an iced coffee with ice in it. It's always been more a case of 'very cold coffee'.

    Now you see I get that one.

    No, that's a lie.

    Water hardness affects freezing point (and conversely melting point as well). Coffee aficionados are big on purifying water because mineral content apparently hurts the flavors. I wouldn't be surprised that your coffee shop uses a water purifier. Do you use a water purifier?

    I definitely don't get that fancy. I use a French press and boiling water from the electric kettle.

    Ah, I think I might see why your ice is melting.
