Something We All Can Agree On

[Subduction Zone]

I don't hate chocolate but I'd sooner have a baked potato. @Subduction Zone would name them bakes under his theory of food evolution.

Well at least you call them baked potatoes.
When I hear "jacket potato" I think that it must be some fancy dinner since even a potato must wear a suit.

I think it's one of those cool things to do like everyone saying they can't stand Nickelback and Creed but they all secretly sing along to them when they're alone in the car. And it's good for @Revoltingest ego.

That's an excellent analogy. I secretly sing the Revoltistani national anthem in my car.

You could always cover that potato in chocolate. Callem mud spuds or something like that.

I once watched my neighbour drift down the river clinging desperately to the side of his boat. Someone must have rescued him because he was back home later that day.

Huh. Maybe it was some sort of extreme sport.

Jacket potatoes are young potatoes boiled in their skin. A but of butter or olive oil and some salt, a delicacy.

The stOOpid olympics

I have encountered some of those games out and about. I remember canoeing down the Current River once and finding a swamped canoe with on of the middle-aged, drunken occupants standing calf-deep near the gravel bar crying for someone to help him while his buddy was quietly clinging to a root up to his neck in a bout 10 feet of rushing water. So I helped the guy trapped up to his knees and went on about my business since the other guy hadn't asked for help.

No. We helped the guy clinging to the root get out of the current and on the gravel bar. I don't remember what his idiotic friend ended up doing.

I don't care if anyone agrees or not, I'm going to bed. You all have a good night (or morning or mid day or afternoon as the case may be).

We would call those "new potatoes". Though very few people have had them. To be new the skins need to be delicate enough that a fingernail can scrape them off, but don't do it! And boiled until the are almost done and then replacing the water with milk and just a little butter, salt and pepper too, can be extremely addictive. To get these potatoes one needs direct access to the growers.

I used to do the same and will do so next year. I have been getting mine from my brother.

I thought their anthem was Pomp and Circumstance... didn't know it had words.

Ok, fair enough but you must hate how the bottom of t-shirts curl up in the dryer?

You use a dryer? Rich man.

Once I told the Bear he could keep one of those good nights he's always giving for himself. He got grumpy, lol.

 

[RestlessSoul]

There must be something?

That we live in a world of shadows and symbols, flickering abstractions emerging from a deeper reality; that fathomless mystery that we sense but do not see?

What is the consensus on chocolate? I mean most people have to agree that it is delicious. No true Scotsman would ever reject chocolate.

Ask @ChristineM about white chocolate.

Depending on your definition of chocolate. Everything below 70% cocoa is debatable, everything below 50% just isn't.

Nope. Only their fields.

Nope. Only their fields.

An ethical dilemma. Sort of a hot potato.
