Hijack Me! Lightning round controversy

[Recidiva]

I was trying to think of a thread that would tie together some of the subjects I've had the privilege of discussing with some of the folks here.

From religion to gun control to regional attitudes to internet relevance.

I realize I just take the ball and keep on running, so my apologies for any level of hijack that's taken place in the threads of other people.

I do want to continue the discussion with the above apology and enthusiasm.

So either let this stand as a general thanks to the community for being interesting and insightful, and an invitation to come hijack me at will.

In the genuine spirit of me not having an issue to discuss, but enjoying discussing just about everything...if you have something on your mind and don't mind hijacking...GO.

Corn dogs v. fried Snickers bars.

Oooh.

We made corn dogs last year with Alton Brown's recipe and they were YUM-MEE.

I've seen the fried Snickers on Nigella Lawson's show and I've seen Anthony Bourdain eat one. But I haven't been tempted myself.

In my case I'd have to go with the corn dog.

This is so "cafe"

But when cat is away the mice will play.

Carry on.

I don't know what that means.

Who is the cat in this instance?

Or does this mean that I should put this in the BDSM cafe and a mod should do that?

Fine with me either way.

Technically, if you read the sticky. I'm just being a rule Nazi. Pay no attention. Really, it's not important.

We do not encourage off topic material (excessive flirting or personal conversation that interrupts serious topics) in BDSM Talk threads. Light conversation, flirting, off topic type threads, and funtimes are appreciated and to be had in the BDSM Cafe .

cat = catalina_francisco, one of the moderators. She isn't around much. I guess she doesn't love us anymore.

Okay.

Since this is encouraging hijacking and controversy and addressing the same audience, I guess it didn't occur to me.

So your thread should have been in the cafe also?

I would so eat Nigella Lawson, and lick my fingers clean afterwards.

 

[WriterDom]

I'm a little anal about the cafe. But I did invent it, so there!

In retrospect it probably was a bad idea. Putting moderators in a position of deciding what goes where. But people do enjoy the cafe I guess.

I think overall we have gotten away from serious BDSM discussions. I just kinda feel like everything has been done 5 times so why bother?

She's awesome.

I'm having fun with Anne Burrell also. "Brown Food Tastes Good!"

I'm just joshin'.

I wouldn't be offended either way.

I go to all the boards and haven't really gotten the hang of not hijacking and putting things in the right places, which is the tone and intent of this thread.

This is my invitation to a food fight in good faith and for the fun of it.

Cafe sounds like it'd just have more food.

It has been done, but no always with me.

Corn dogs v. fried Snickers bars.

Discuss.

I would not eat something fried that I choose not to eat in its natural state. Hence, neither corn dogs nor fried snickers (or twinkies, for that matter) will likely ever pass my lips. Have eaten only one hot dog is something like twenty years and have never, to my knowledge, consumed a snickers bar.

Now, that said, one of my favorite conceptions of the proverbial heart-attack-on-a-plate is the deep-fried cheeseburger that Guy Fieri made during an episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.

The whole thing was deep fried? Or just the burger?

I've seen Alton Brown do deep fried macaroni and cheese, encrusted in Panko.

One has chocolate, one doesn't (and is therefore useless). Duh.

The sausage food group is as important and necessary for the world to remain on its axis and spinning properly.

It does benefit more from starch and grease. Snickers can stand on their own. I prefer frozen.

 

[WriterDom]

Hotdogs! Who knew assholes and eyeballs tasted so good.

Little place here sold chili dogs 2 for a dollar for 20 years. Finally raised their price last year.

First off, I sincerely doubt that hotdogs should be considered sausage. They just look like sausages.

It's a conspiracy to confuse us.

Second . . . chocolate . . . sausage . . . chocolate . . . sausage . . .

Let's put it this way. Can you imagine a world of PMSing women with only sausage and no chocolate?



Chocolate wins.

Well, last week I made Italian sausage with puff pastry and queso frier.

I also made chocolate mousse.

Vive le difference!

And I'm just as likely to want sausage and bread as I do want chocolate during PMS. Lack of either one would result in insanity.

Not that...that hasn't happened to some extent already...

Well, obviously, BOTH is better. But I still say that chocolate is the best.

I have spoken. Nuff said.

Wait, do you get Oz powers or something?

That didn't turn out so well, you know.

But as long as I get both. And random candies, particularly cinnamon imperials and root beer barrels, nobody will get hurt.

Oh my.

The way she talks about food makes me want to do bad, bad things to her.

I appreciate the sheer sensuous love of all things having to do with cooking. It's genuine and has not so much to do with the staged "money shot" formula of a lot of food shows.

She's the only other person who has ever expressed one of my little personality quirks...reading cookbooks from beginning to end as if they were some sort of historical romance novel.

Exactly! That sort of attitude is just as attractive as hell. The sort of person that would be passionately sensual about food is likely to be similar about other aspects of her life as well.
