Stuffing. Seattle. - Rochelle

Stuffing comes in a box. Dressing is what we have on Thanksgiving; it's made with cornbread and celery and doesn't go inside the turkey. I'm from Georgia. :) - Laura B.

Stuffing. I got it from my mom who grew up in Massachusetts. - Michelle Martinez

We say dressing. My family's from Louisiana. - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

Akiva says it's only stuffing if it's baked in the bird. Otherwise, it's dressing. He's from Texas. - Rochelle

From Missouri: We say both and were ignorant of the difference. - SAM

Yeah, dressing and stuffing are separate entities to me too. Stuffing is stuffed inside. Dressing dresses the outside. EDIT: from UK. - Mark H

Stuffing. Currently in Nevada. Going back to Cali in a couple of months. My immediate family is/was not from this country, so when they started celebrating Thanksgiving after they came to California, they heard stuffing. - Helen Sventitsky

Dressing - Texas - Jeremy

I have a theory that the difference is regional. I suspect the dislike of the word "stuffing" is a Bible Belt thing. - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

Harvey, I agree with this theory. I've been in Seattle for nearly 28 years and have never once heard someone native to here call it dressing. - Rochelle

As far as I can remember, my family has always called it stuffing. We're New York Jews. - josh neff, Fun Dip of FF

Stuffing - dressing is something you do with your clothes to cover yourself up (from UK) - WorldofHiglet

I wonder if us southerners think "stuffing" has a sexual connotation. :) - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

you americans are crazy. stuffing is for the inside of a poultry, dressing is some sort of gravy or sauce for on top of something (eg a salad) - Snipergirl

Well, Snipergirl, there's dressing, and then there's dressing. - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

A salad is considered dressing? Hmm. I don't think I've ever heard (that is,in Seattle) any *food* ever called dressing. Dressing is what you do with clothes in the morning and that's about it. - Rochelle

@rochelles no a salad dressing is what you put on salad - Snipergirl

I think you mean SAUCE. - Rochelle

Snipergirl salad dressing is different from dressing (mush made from cornbread). - Anika

When I put my clothes on, it's dressing. When I stuff the turkey, it's stuffing. Oh,and I'm a Midwestener. My mom used to make oyster stuffing for Thanksgiving. So good. - Sarah June

And even here in the States, depending on region, salad dressing can mean different things. Here in CA it means like ranch, Italian, Thousand Island, but in the midwest, it's some mayonnaise mixture made with relish that people put on sandwiches. - Anika

stuffing - VAL D.

Long Island ,NY - VAL D.

I stuff a bird. Mind you, being from England, that certainly has more than one meaning. - Ian May

Stuffing. We get it out of a box, but don't cook it inside the turkey (personally, I don't even eat it anyway). I'm familiar with the term dressing, but have never used it in this particular situation. I'm from Massachusetts. - PENGUIN: MAJOR CAPS LOCK

@faboomama @rochelles @ha3rvey while I do admit to understanding that this is a conversation about American English only, I would probably alert you to the fact that most people in the world who speak English actually speak British English or a close variant of it (including Canadians funnily enough)- thus to many people outside the US, dressing is a perfectly valid term for what you put on salad, and is never used to denote your cornbread thingy - Snipergirl

though i must admit that the cornbread thingy sounds OM NOM NOM NOM - Snipergirl

To be even more pedantic, not all dressings/stuffings have cornbread. :) - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

stuffing here as well (Washington), though I do here dressing now and then. And in my circles, we rarely have cornbread stuffing, just to be difficult. ;) - holly

Which is why they're different words to me. Dressing is made with cornbread (or any bread really), but stuffing is mostly meat-based and goes inside the bird. - Anika

They are two different things, like Anika said, but mostly, I eat cornbread dressing. Mmmm. With cranberry sauce on the side. Oh and turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans and... - Carmen

Just to blow my own horn, I made a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner with roasted acorn squash with a chestnut and craisin stuffing and mushroom gravy. It was SO GOOD. - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

As someone in the midwest, I don't think I've ever called the stuff I put on sandwiches dressing. I wonder where they eat that stuff. Hmmmm. I do call anything I put on a salad, salad dressing. - Sarah June

Actually, I was thinking about that, most of my family who are from the south originally, but live in the midwest now, call *any* spread to put on sandwiches "salad dressing". I wonder if that's old Southern thing. - Anika

Maybe. The concoction sounds interesting. :-) I'm kind of plain person when it comes to sandwiches. Usually just mayo. And Ha3rvey, that sounds wonderful. - Sarah June

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... It is gagalicious. - Anika

Stuffing, because eating it makes me feel stuffed. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Anika, I thought we were friends. I can't believe you introduced Miracle Whip into one of my food threads. *BLOCKED* - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

*shuddder* not Miracle Whip, I think they have the name trademarked. No, this: http://friendfeed.com/fabooma... - Anika

I thought I remembered a sandwich spread under the Miracle Whip brand name. My google-fu fails me right now, though. - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

Ha3rvey, I love you. However, as I have said before, I am a Miracle Whip kind of girl. :P That said, the jar of MW in my kitchen does call itself "dressing," but not "salad dressing." When I was in the UK, I put "salad cream" on my sandwiches. - Laura B.

Okay, 'salad cream' just gives me the heebie-jeebies. LOL - Anika

Salad cream: http://www.heinzsaladcream.co.uk/ Not exactly like Miracle Whip, but it will do in a pinch. - Laura B.

Stuffing. New England. - Sarah is Novembery from iPhone

we use both. - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF

Stuffing, I'm from all over the US (mom & dad are too, although the recipe is southern), but we always put it in the bird, so stuffing fits. And it's not meat-based - it's Wonder bread based, with bacon, celery, and poultry seasoning - yummy. In New Orleans, when they ask if you want your po boy dressed, they mean, do you want lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc., which makes sense since the po boy would be almost naked without it. - Cassandra

Like Rochelle said, we call it stuffing in Seattle and I was born and raised here. My husband is from MN and he calls it dressing. To me, dressing is for salad. Or what you do when you put on clothes. ;-) - Annie Anderson

Stuffing. Rural southeastern Ohio - Michael Hocter

It's dressing. It's only stuffing when it's inside the bird. (Texas) - Trish R

Gimme the sauerkraft. Stuff the turkey. - Ian May

Dressing goes on salad. Stuffing goes in a turkey. Montreal, QC - Louis Simoneau

Michigan born and bred (family from Mississippi/Tennessee). We personally say dressing and it's never something that goes inside the bird. What goes in there is 'stuffing'. - Holli B.

Johnny, of course. Landlines are a long way off from dying off. I would say physical boxed games/music/movies have a slightly shorter life. - Kol Tregaskes

The pre-owned market will be around beyond our life times. Why? Because you have a ton of people who will want to own those games from our time and before. You still have people buying Atari 2600 games. It may not be huge for Gamestop, but personally I don't care what happens to Gamestop because as a company they suck.

The same way digital downloads are killing the DVD Market? My point is not everyone lives on the bleeding edge and not all moms can afford $90 for a new game. It has a long tail filled with young kids and casual gamers - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

Johnny, agree but that wasn't the question. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Kol - No, we shouldn't be allowed to sell our digital downloads, as there would be no real way to ensure we had removed all traces of them. That said, digital downloads should be considerably less expensive (notice I said should) than the physical media, as the manufacturing and material costs will be virtually nil. - Curtiss Grymala

Curtiss, you forget about the added cost of digital downloads. Servers and bandwidth. That will keep the cost pretty even. - Mathew™ one of a kind

I agree physical games will probably exist for a long time, just like vinyl and the aforementioned Atari 2600 games. But collectors aside, downloads will form the largest part of movie, game and music purchases I think (source: my crystall ball). It is an interesting question whether you'll be able to sell'm.

I am trying, slowly but not very successfully. High school kids make more in an hour at McDonalds than I make in a week. But at least I am making enough to cover the expenses of running it, with a tiny bit left over. All things considering, since 2005, I did make back a lot more in profit than my $20 initial investment. - April Russo (app103)

The last movie I watched in a theater was Transformers. The original. As in, 2007. Wow. There, I said it.

UHM mona - the original transformers came out in the 80s :) i remember cuz i waited in line for hours to get in :) - Allen Stern

+1 Allen. I was going to say almost the same thing. - Curtiss Grymala

yea the actual original rocked - the remake or whatever really was pretty crappy - they made the transformers too big - i mean optimus takes one step, he should create a dent 2 miles deep :) - the original rocked - rodimus gets the power, etc... - Allen Stern

+1 Allen - I remember being really excited about that, too - Jesse Stay

I wonder at what point they're going to just start releasing these blockbusters straight to DVD. Eventually it's got to be the cheaper solution. - Jesse Stay

jesse i wore a transformers tshirt to that movie :) - Allen Stern

wow the whole movie is on youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Allen Stern

Don't tell my kids - Jesse Stay

+1 Allen! First movie my dad ever took me to in the theatre, still holds up today! - Carter Rabasa from iPhone

I was living in Indonesia at the time so we couldn't see it in the theatre, but I did see it on VHS - remember those? ;-) - Jesse Stay

Barry, the Peter Sellers one, I hope? :) - Laura B.

Sorry, we're watching SGU on the DVR. - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

I'm watching "Old Man Rhythm" on the DVR right now. Johnny Mercer in a rare film appearance. - Laura B.

We're watching Megafault right now. My son wants to watch Ice Twisters. I will likely read while he's watching them - Alan Simpson

And speaking of Magefault - if you are going to fly over "Lexington, KY" in the movie you should at least research the city enough to know there is no river there. - Alan Simpson

++Alan. Then they showed a map onscreen which clearly lacked that river. - Amber, Random Time Lord

oh! that's now! - Sarah is Novembery

It's kind of like Ne-yo. Lots of behind the scenes stuff. But $5 says every single of one of you knows at least one song of his. - Amber, Random Time Lord

People don't know who Teddy Riley is? New Jack Swing has failed us all. - nakachi

Thank you Eric, I was too stunned that soo many people were unaware. - Amber, Random Time Lord

Ok. So I did hear him in Blackstreet - Kamilah Gill from email

What's Blackstreet? Is that a group? - Katy S

The name isn't familiar to me, either. - Rochelle

Blackstreet did No Diggity, which had crazy radio play. - Eric @ CS Techcast

Diggity diggity... Oh, wait. Wrong diggity. - Kamilah Gill

I'm know Blackstreet. I just didn't know any of the group's members' names. - Rochelle

I'm probably the only one who's not with it. I've never heard of this "No Diggity," either. I should probably feel embarrassed. - Katy S

I can up your game Katy :) - Eric @ CS Techcast

I had a conversation about him the other day! I felt like how my parents felt when they named a singer they liked and I had no idea who they were talking about - Tamara from iPhone

Katy, where have you been hiding your ears? - Amber, Random Time Lord

Katy, check this out http://ff.im/btxOI - Eric @ CS Techcast

When was this? I just looked up Blackstreet online. My ears were either in Indiana or Austria. I was never much of a top-40 radio listener, though. - Katy S

"I like de way you work it... No Diggity!" great tune - T. Brent, technopeasant

http://ff.im/btyuy - Eric @ CS Techcast

I was in Indiana, too... It was here, and if you were in northern Indiana, it *had* to be in Gary. - Kamilah Gill

Rump Shaker, tell me you never heard this one: http://ff.im/btyKF - Eric @ CS Techcast

I'm sure it was here. Like I said, I'm not with it. Considering the time frame, I was probably very involved with Morrissey or Tori Amos at that time. I grew up closer to Ft. Wayne than Gary. I'm sure it was there, too. I was probably just oblivious. - Katy S

Eric - I remember hearing Rump Shaker at fraternity parties. I just wasn't invested enough in it to pay attention, I guess. - Katy S
