The Saturday 6-Pack

Baloney is repulsive and cream of wheat is vastly superior to oatmeal. You know what I'm getting some god damn cream of wheat next time I go to the store.

I LOVE farina - and Cream of Rice is good too!

Agreed about it being better than oatmeal.

I'd just set the vampires on them. It would be a massacre.

Nothing can stand up to a bunch of angry Italian mothers!

A compelling argument!

I wondered about that too. Is pot a food item?

Autotune. I don’t mind it for light/low speed pitch correcting, but fast speed settings on vocals make me want to retch. (Would retching sound better autotuned?

)

My girl!

I wanted to put in cheese, or white sauces instead. The rest of my family likes them, so I can't ban that.

My wife has tried some edibles, and she likes them. I've never seen her high, as she's eaten them while staying with friends.

Bologna/baloney a/k/a the grossest food I have ever ingested.

When my grandparents would visit, my father would keep a huge slab of it for my grandmother. She didn't like beef, and dad would always buy some filet mignon for one meal. He would instead bbq the baloney for her.

hot Cream of Wheat cereal

I was forced to eat puffed wheat as a kid. I had to drown the crap in brown sugar in order to make it somewhat palatable.

1. What's one thing that has become popular in music (say last 20 years) that instantly turns you off? Any genre...

I guess Pop Punk like the horrible American Pie soundtrack.

2. You get to choose a direct sequel to any game, book, movie, or album that never received one - it will be made by its original creator in their prime and will be bestowed on the world. What do you choose?

I'm really not a sequel person but I guess I wouldn't mind seeing an update on Mad Men circa the seventies.

3. You are suddenly transported into the past - you open your eyes to see Jesus being frogmarched to his crucifixion - your are among the crowd - what do you do?

Protest the crucifixion as cruel and unusual punishment. This is bigger than Jesus.

4. You are charged with removing one food item from existence - you have to choose only one - but the catch is that after you make your choice, everyone in the world will be given your name, picture, and address and made aware that you were the one responsible - what food item do you choose?

Onions. Come and get me.

5. Have you ever come close to death? If so, what's the closest you've come? Experiences of others coming close to death near you also count.

Yeah, when I had my embolism about nine years ago. Totally wrecked my health too. I also saw my mother die in the hospital.

6. What was your favorite cereal as a kid? If you never ate cereal, what was your favorite breakfast as kid?

Trix is for kids- silly rabbit!

*applauds*

I can take onions is dishes as flavour, assuming they're finely chopped. Growing up, there were two things almost guaranteed to be in my mom's cooking - onions, and butter.

Sorry to hear that. Are you still on the mend?

Well, I never fully recovered if that's what you're asking. It boils down to having a defective heart basically. I'm managing with my limitations however so it isn't all bad.

music_collector · 08-06-2022, 07:57 AM

Damn. That's rough.

Did you worry about the myocarditis side effect when the covid vaccines came out? I'm not asking your vaccination status btw. I just figured something like that would have gotten your attention.

rubber soul · 08-06-2022, 08:04 AM

Not really. It's a rare side effect and I'm double boosted, only felt sick with the initial vaccine and that was your routine mild fever basically. I did pass on a possible heart transplant though as I do have a strong immune system. I don't want to risk getting some bizarre disease from the anti-rejection medicines I'd have to take.
