In Other News – 15 March 2016

Geoff has already declared his love of street food, a fondness that I also share. One of my favorites has become strangely fashionable lately among vegetarians such as Sandy, and that is falafel. These little chickpea balls or patties hail from the Middle East and can be served as snacks or a full meal. Every chef spices them differently, making a more nuanced mixture than you might be used to at your local middle eastern takeaway. Personally, my favorite way of consuming these little fried flavor balls is on their own with some humus as part of a meze platter or in a warm pita with some fresh salad.

        They probably moved from the northern hemisphere to the southern, and the cat still needs to adjust.

          or, you know, the cat was just bored and decided this looked like fun. Cats are strange creatures.

            Sounds like, at some point or another, most cats to me. How do you differentiate to get “Devil Cat”?

            I LOVE that. First flick one ear, then the other. Not at the same time, no, no, this is a deliberate calculated action. YOU DO NOT DRESS ME IN CRAP, GET IT?

            Love this

            Ever seen The Exorcist? You know, the part where the girl comes down the stairs?
            It happens. You see something that reminds you of something else. Like in this case, the poor precious kitty (I have so blatantly insulted) reminded me of a Demon Possessed girl coming down the stairs all upside down like https://m.popkey.co/5fe41b/Q87YV.gif

            Wow. I get it now, I really do.

            I mentioned this once before on the forums, but my wife did a dissertation on interpreting the written word. A very complex field and, as you say, you were instantly reminded of this. I was not, so did not get what you were saying.

            nice!

            I know rap is not the vibe of this place. Open your mind to something new, i say.

            anyway. one of the best songs ever made, and it goes with my theme.

            I did open it recently. Heard a song on the radio. Ended up going out and getting all albums except the one releasing later this year from Asking Alexandria.

            very inclusive you metal bunch are.

            I listen to all sorts of music. But the metal people tend to keep themselves in a metal bubble.

            Don’t Support Being Closed Off To Music. I can see when people like drm on here.

            March 16, 2016 at 15:27

            I also listen to all sorts of music. Listen to a surprising amount of Ice Cube.

            I just like stirring the pot.

            I know what you are doing. I was expecting it. I was waiting for it to happen. It’s predictable behaviour for this place. It just so happen to be you the one to do it.

            The point I was talking about, post the metal but don’t post the metal as a response/reply to what I’m doing.

      When you hear rap music is not the same any more, black music is not the same anymore, music is not the same anymore, from the music of Bone Thugs I’ve been posting you should have picked up the different kinds of messages they are highlighting in their music, that is not represented in music anymore.

    ” Personally, my favourite way of consuming these little fried flavour balls is on their own with some humus as part of a meze platter or in a warm pita with some fresh salad.”

    So many words I just do not understand…….

    (ok, just kidding, I understand the words – but not the content or the meaning)

    I just cannot eat like that. I have a burning need for a more meaty meal for it be “exciting” for me. Also, added the “u’s” to favourite and flavour at no charge. (Yes, I am aware of where you are from)

          Soup. Also, some people, save money, use Chick Peas in Pesto sauce, instead of Pine Nuts.

          chick peas are ok, but need, for me, to be a part of the meal, not the hero.
