Perhaps we should rather ask him about his favorite falafel joint :-)

That is best decription I have seen on freeper terms- I have ever seen.

I did not know that ZOT was an acronym, learned something new to day. thanks

Welcome aboard from the diaspora.

[glock rocks]

Right you are!

Fortunately, no one tried to respond to my questions (the correct answers which are A. pork, B. none, and C. chiles and meat). Otherwise, this thread could have become a thousand post flame war.

Falafel is an acceptable alternative answer :o)

[free_life]

Well that clears that up. I thought this might turn like that poor Chinese freeper noob last year.

Welcome aboard gsm31, mop duty then promotions.

[Jamestown1630]

It is always best to side-step the Barbecue and Chili wars ;-)

My hover craft is full of eels

This phrase is used in a sketch about a badly translated phrasebook from the British TV comedy show, Monty Python's Flying Circus. There's a video of the sketch on youtube.

It's possibly the most useful phrase there is, and a handy one to have when you're asked to say something in a language you're learning.

I like it when I get back from a long walk and finally get back to the car, especially on a cold day, when the wind is freezing your face and your legs are tingling. I crank up the heat in the car and head to the nearest Dunkin Donuts in which I get a large hot coffee with cream and three Splenda. People say that Splenda is not that good for you but I would need about eight sugars to get the same sweetness of three Splendas for a ratio of 3:8.

There are so many Christmas songs out there. I have thousands of them in my collections. From the 1940s to the present day. Many great songs are released by some popular singer of the time and then are completely forgotten about. I like to dig those up and keep them playing. For instance, I believe I am the only person in the world at this present moment who is listening to "O Holy Night" by Donna Summer. Yes, that Donna Summer. And this version is nothing at all like disco.

Now I am listening to "When Southern Bells Ring" by The Judybats. This was released around 1990 as a special single. I truly believe I am the only person on earth listening to this particular song at this particular time. Also, the words you just read in this reply have never been typed out before by anybody. Only 26 letters in the English language and I just put out a combination of letters and words that have never appeared before. You could take a billion monkeys and have them type randomly for a thousand years and they would never, ever duplicate this particular combination of letters, spaces and #punctuation.

"Zorch" comes from Tom Clancy's "Executive Orders, to wit:

Two seconds later, the SPY search RADAR jacked up its power to four million watts, sent all of it down one degree of bearing at the inbound fighters, and increased the "dwell" on the targets, which meant they were being hit almost continuously. It was enough to peg the threat-detection gear they had to have aboard. Inside of twenty miles, it could even start damaging such equipment, depending on how delicate it was. That was called a "zorch," and the captain still had another two million watts of power up his sleeve. The joke was that if you really pissed off an Aegis, you might start producing two-headed kids.
