Re: Musings on Random Musings For some people there are things too serious to be joked about. For some people there are things so serious that you have to joke about them. For that matter those groups aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

Anyone have thoughts on the move of CO to FTP?

Re: Musings on Random Musings I've known both kinds. Heck, I'm pretty sure I've seen both kinds here on the boards. And while there certainly are the occasional person who makes those kind of jokes because they would really like to do those kind of things and are just covering it up as a joke, for the most part people make those kind of jokes for the same reasons people make most kinds of absurd jokes: because absurd things are often funny. But in general people are less willing to joke about things that they hold dear, which is why you'll find dog people making jokes about hurting cats and cat people making jokes about hurting dogs. Generally what they are really doing is making fun of the people who like those other, obviously inferior animals.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Oh, I wouldn't put raw lamb on. I'd slow cook it first, then put it on the pizza under the cheese.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Ack. Unfortunately wildlife will be, well, wild.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Yeah, give me a dry 95 over a humid 75 any day. Though my preferred is a humid 40 or lower...

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I remember a winter in Minneapolis when I was a kid. For 90 days straight the temp never went above 0F. As I recall, not a lot of snow that year. It was too cold...

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Or remote control buttons. Or AV equipment buttons. Heck, she's managed to lock her car door on more than one occasion. It is odd. There are some buttons that she knows that she isn't supposed to touch. One of those is the power button for the receiver in our living room setup. Every once and a while (and it has been at least a month since the last time, so hopefully she has gotten over it) she gets a compulsion to press it. She walks over to it with an look that makes it obvious that she knows she is about to get in trouble, but she can't seem to help herself. It isn't even the "hahaha, I'm having fun 'cause I know you'll chase me, this is a fun game" look. It is the "I know you're going to put me in my pack-and-play if I press it, and I don't want to go in there, but I just HAVE to press it" look. Then she'll press the button and almost immediately at least start sniffling if not actually crying. For the most part she is a really bright little girl. And the fact that it has been a while since she's done it lets me hope that she has gotten over at least this particular issue. Of course there are plenty of others.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Mmm. Now if only I liked most of the rest of the toppings. I bet lamb, feta, caramelized onion and pineapple would be a pretty killer 'za...

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER As do I. The difference is that I live in a place where for significant portions of the year it doesn't even get that cool at night...

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Not sure which ones you mean. Both Denver and Minnesota get snow, though Denver doesn't get anywhere near as much as a lot of people seem to think. A time or two every decade they'll get a storm that drops 20+ inches in 24 hours. Oklahoma gets snow, though often not much. The problem there is that it gets warm enough to melt it during the day, so it then re-freezes at night. Here in the Bay Area it just doesn't snow. Or really ever get cold enough to snow. I've worked with people out here that would start shivering and putting on sweaters when it would drop below 80F.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I can only eat onions that have been caramelized to the point of having no texture left, otherwise they make me physically ill. Which sucks, since I love the flavor of onion. This means I go through a lot of onion powder. Sounds like I'd like your local "fancy" pizza place...

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Depends on the person. So far it has only been my almost two year old daughter that has done it. Without even any prompting. She recognized the button as a button, and since she is addicted to pressing buttons she presses it...

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Just because your post started me thinking about it: I'd love to know when "Hawaiian Pizza" stopped being "Ham/Can Bac and Pineapple" and became "Ham/Can Bac, Pineapple, onions, and bell peppers". Terribly annoying that...

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I'll never understand the need some people have to tell other people what they are allowed to enjoy. I love pineapple on pizza. I can't stand anchovies, on or off pizza. But I'd never tell anyone that anchovies (or for the most part anything else) should never be put on a pizza by anyone. I'll just settle for "not on any pizza I'm expected to eat/pay for". Onions, bell peppers, and a variety of other things are on that list too. So no, despite your wishes otherwise, I'll keep ordering and making pizzas with Pineapple on them.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I have a t-shirt with it on it.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Is that a vinegar based sauce? I'm actually a fan of the flavor of the habaneros, but I may have to give the scotch bonnet a try sometime.
