Sex & Shenanigans

Yeah, but I don't like IASIP. I know my favorite people are going to yell at me for it, but there you go. I don't find it funny at all, and I tried.
AS DISGUSTED as I am about this comment, we are all entitled to our own tastes. I like to think that maybe your soul just isn’t dark enough to appreciate sunny. And that’s ok 🫂🤗
 
Well fuck, I just realized you can see all your “watched” threads and check if there are new posts instead of relying on notifications, which don’t seem to work super well for threads you haven’t been into in a bit.

Still feel like such a noob around here lol
Well, that makes you a step ahead of me. I didn't know that, and that would be a help.
 
What's the worst food you can think of and never want to eat?

That I have ever been offered? Either Jellied Eels or Dinuguan, which is a blood based soup.

Balut


I've put some strange things in my mouth, but these will never be added to that list. 🤢

no but I have had a chopped pigeon salad

The Jellied Eel were just...no. Couldn't do it. And I had eel.

The Dinuguan also uses offal as the main ingredient, and I couldn't do it.

Last time I went to visit family on the reservation, my cousins were giving me loads of hell, just messing with me, in love, but still. One day we had a big picnic with all the neighbors, just a huge get-together, with all these different foods. There was a stew over a fire, and it looked delicious. My cousin told me to dig down deep, "because the puppy is on the bottom, and it is the most tender." I thought he was still giving me shit.

He was not. It was good though. I am not sure I would have eaten it if I knew what it was, but it was good.

Duck Balut
I’m 1/4 Filipina and my ex-fiancé is Filipino, and believe me, the horror show doesn’t end at balut, dinuguan or pigeon. I’m very picky about what kind of protein I’ll eat; basically, only 4 animals total, and only certain cuts, no organs. I don’t eat fish or seafood at all…even sea salt and seaweed taste unpleasantly fishy to me.

The worst thing I’ve seen had to be at 1 of ex-fiancé’s family Christmas/birthday parties: for some unknown reason, someone had deboned and ground up some fish, packed the ground fish back AROUND the fish skeleton, into a regular meatloaf pan and baked it. I love meatloaf and saw it there and considered it for a moment, but the color looked off; I assumed it was turkey and/or pork meatloaf or something, and passed on it. Sadly for ex-fiancé, he didn’t have my good judgment and served himself a slice. When we were at our table eating, he discovered 1) it was fish (which he does like, in its natural form), and 2) that it had bones baked it. He hated it and regretted everything!

A few years after we broke up, he mentioned in a Twitter DM that a more recent of his family parties had THREE types of fish loaf 🤢🤮 He was a great guy in many respects, but damn…dodged a fucking bullet with certain family members of his, and their fish loaves 🙅🏻‍♀️

Finally home from what might be one of my worst days of subbing yet. 7th graders are terrible.
Sorry you had a rough day 🥺 If it helps put things in perspective at all: 7th graders are infinitely harder on themselves and each other. They’re probably just trying to get through the day without major embarrassment

I kinda wanna try the fish loaf...

Packing it around the skeleton sounds like a nasty surprise, but fish loaf in itself may be delicious, can't see anything wrong in that per se. My mom makes some excellent fish patties. It's an easier way to eat certain fish that are hard to debone.
 
What's the worst food you can think of and never want to eat?

Surströmming. It's a seeded contender for the worst food in the world. The stench is indescribable. If you're curious, go look for "surströmming challenge" videos on youtube - it has people projectile vomiting as soon as the can is opened and they get the first whiff. It is the single worst thing I've ever smelled, and I do not say this lightly as I've had the misfortune of having to visit temporary morgues without refrigeration. I'd still rather go back there, than open a can of this putrid fuckery.

I don't think I've ever come across something as bad as surströmming. Nor have I come across food that's made of innards or anything like.

Of the ones I've had to try to eat... Oysters. Had to be polite and try to eat 3 pieces, they tried to come back up. I eat fish, but I'm not a fan of any other type of seafood. It's a consistency thing.

Clot soup. It would be ok (like a meat soup) without the clots - I find their consistence yucky.

Cabbage soup, rolls and stew all make me loose appetite with just their smell. The smell is also enough to make me have a bad case of heartburn.

I have had several different fish loafs. Salmon was quite good. But "debone the fish. Reserve bones to add later" was never in the recipe.

In the mid 90's me and mrs Cogan were invited to a Surströmming party. It was in a barn out on the countryside and there were about 70-100 people invited to this event. You can imagine the amount of cans that they opened. There were matjessill and other herrings as well, but they all tasted like surströmming since the smell took over and numbed the nose. Thank God for OP Andersson! :D (a Swedish schnapps)
And then it was time for coffee and cake........:oops:

That’s the part I don’t understand the most! Whyyyyy the fuck would they do that?!? Setting aside my hate for fish, isn’t the point of deboning and grinding any type of meat making it easier to eat, and possibly less of a choking hazard? Like you don’t grind up chicken just to put the bones back in chicken nuggets, if people wanted bones they’d eat wings, right? The entire concept is just so 🤦🏻‍♀️
 
I did. But I keep hearing about your drunk poetry readings and was wondering if I was bearing witness to one.
Oh no, just playing with some interactive quoting. I usually drunk DM poems, but reading them sounds interesting. However, after this week I was taking a pass on poetry here...

Though I do have a beat poem I wrote about monkeys... Almost got beat up when I actually performed it at an open poetry night. Someone else thought I was mocking them.

I had a bet in my head whether it would be @vagrantx or @Kitty_so_frisky who gave me this first. I wasn’t sure Kitty was awake so I won. 🤣

I can't come to think of a single good reason to never having played a Zelda game.
I'm sad for you. :(

I was already a D&D nerd playing Ultima and Wizardry and Bard’s Tale when the first came out. Just felt like a poor imitation of the rpg experience I wanted. Was a Genesis and PlayStation and Xbox teenager and young adult. I played a bit of Skyward Sword on the Wii but was underwhelmed. Watched my son play a bit of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom but I ain’t got time for that.

Ultima, Wizardry, Bard's Tale, etc. are all a very different sub-genre of RPG than the Zelda games. I enjoy them all, but if I go into Zelda thinking it'll be like the Bard's Tale (and vice-versa), I'm going to be very disappointed.
Oh…is that what it was about? Silly Monkey! I wouldn’t have 😯ed a post about not playing Zelda. Not everyone is into RPG video games. I sure as fuck wasn’t until I was dragged kicking and screaming into an MMORPG, and still haven’t gotten into any others in almost 9 years since 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
For sure. I get that now. But when it was new I just didn’t get the appeal. I spent my allowance on Ninja Gaiden and Mega Man instead.
Didn’t get very far, but loved Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PS3 💗

Because I've been playing table top since 1978, and Zelda (and most computer simulations) seemed a less rich option. (Still play online with some of my friends from highschool in a campaign that has been going on for forty fucking years.) The only computer games (other than Zork, Rogue, and other way old text-based games) were Planescape Torment and Vtm: Bloodlines, both very different from most computer games. Though the next game I play will probably be the one you recommend, the name of which escapes me, but I have saved.

Good enough reasons, or still sad?:)
Wow, 40 years on a single campaign?! That’s bananas

seeing this crop up the second time cracked me up! 😂



And he calls himself a nerd, pfft


You make the time for those games. I have finished every single Zelda game and still return to them.
Meh. The point of games is to have fun; people should play what they enjoy. I was enough of a gamer that Sony made me a PlayStation MVP and sent me and about 30 other MVPs to E3 when it was industry-only and sponsored our tix that were $999 per person, had us in the audience for the press conference, set up meetings with executives, hands-on demos and meetings with devs, focus groups with marketing, etc. I still never got into Zelda either 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ahhhh I was trying to remember the name of the canned stinky fish I possessed at one time... I thought it was something else but it was actually this!

A friend gave us a can of this. He had to order a whole case online to get it shipped. I had it in my pantry forever, waiting for a good time to go outside in the yard to open it and taste it. But I forgot about it and the thing expired and I never did open it before I threw it out. I do regret never having tried it
