Oh, is that pumpkin pie? If so I take back my offer to take it off of your hands, yuck.Kill it with fire instead.
- Joe Pierce
It's the thought that counts. Perhaps you should make a poster for your office wall: No avocados, no pie, etc. :)
- Spidra Webster
I'm a cake man. I don't like hot fruit. I don't wet and soggy stuff, and on occasion I've had sweet potato pie a couple times in the last three years. But yeah...I might taste it though. Or split it with a co-worker.
- Derrick
You don't like pie? You don't like no pie? That's ok. I make you lamb.

What? No pie love? But pie is the best thing, like since sliced bread. Don't say you don't like sliced bread either... I'd like just have to unsubscribe

Actually, I like chicken pot pie. I love it!

I'll swing by in a few minutes. Meet me outside. You bring the pie, I'll bring the money! *changes into secret agent mode*

What about pies that don't contain fruit - like chocolate cream pie or lemon meringue?
- Katy S
DERRICK! I love chicken pot pie too! Sam makes the best chicken pot pie ever. *goes off to bug friend to make me some pot pie*
- pea
I could probably get down with chocolate cream, Katy, but I don't like meringue. I'm not exactly sure what that stuff is or why people are so quick to eat it.
- Derrick
I make a delicious chocolate chiffon pie.
- Joe Pierce
Oh, I like pecan pie. It's the nuts. (say something...)
- Derrick
I'm not as fond of meringue on pies, but I like meringue shells with strawberries and cream. Meringue is basically just whipped up egg whites and sugar that is then baked.
- Katy S
*mumblesomethingmumble* you said nuts. *giggles*
- pea
nuts....heh heh....you said nuts.....
- Morgan Haley
And, I love love love chicken pot pie. I made turkey pot pie from scratch twice last week.

The sweet potato pie vs pumpkin pie argument doesn't really interest me much...I like them just about equally and would eat either if offered.
- Alex Scoble
When did Alex Scoble start smoking crack? Ain't he finnah get married? We should tell Cassie.
- Derrick
The man who doesn't like pumpkin pie tells me I'm smoking crack?
- Alex Scoble
I would say the fact that you're smoking crack means you are not mentally capable of determining the crack smoking state of others around you, hehe.

@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..
- Petr Buben
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]
- Petr Buben
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)

Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-)

Hehe, Greg. Blimey! Erm, is that not far from 500 likes now? ;-)

Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes).

I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little
- Steve C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?
- Kevin Pedraja
So we can put this post to rest now. :-) 505 likes final count, wow! :-D Good night all!
- Kol Tregaskes
My like is the last one so far :) - 509 afaik
- getalifejerk
did 3 people really un-like this? now at 506. wtf (edit: uh, oh, yeah, me and 2 + 506 others makes 509. dammit, jim, i'm an artist, not a mathematician)

"Dust storms swept over Sydney today, turning the city sky so red, some residents thought they’d left the blue planet. “It was like waking up on Mars,” Sydney resident Marcus Schappi wrote in an email to Wired.com. Residents of eastern Australia have had to battle these bizarre conditions because strong winds from the dry interior swept up dust and brought it gusting into the city. “An intense north low pressure area formed and generated gale force westerly winds during yesterday and those winds picked up a lot of dust from the very dry interior of the continent,” Barry Hanstrum, regional director for New South Wales at the Bureau of Meteorology, told Bloomberg. Even though they knew what was happening, the strangeness of the event understandably caught Sydneysiders off-guard. A Twitter hashtag to track the event, #sydneyduststorm, quickly appeared. One @wiredscience follower on Twitter declared it “a leeetle apocalyptic” and none had ever experienced dust storms of a comparable...

I'm with Derrick. Seems like these silly things are popping up at restaurants on a daily basis. I don't quite get it. If you want a small sandwich or hamburger, can't you just order from the children's menu? Basically all this is is a marketing gimmick. It's a 'new' product for restaurants to advertise.
- Jeff P. Henderson
And because they're small, but generally served in twos or threes (or more) it's a sneaky way to trick people into consuming more calories.
- cecily
I still like singing about Mini Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwiches.
- B. Hatin
What Cecily said. And what I said: I LIKE BIG ASS GROWN UP SANDWICHES. O_O
- Derrick
Whatever! I don't discriminate on my food based on size. I just can't be like that. :p Ok, how about KFC Chicken Littles? Anyone like those?
- Adrian
What is a ... slider? Wasn't it some annoying sci-fi show from the 90's ?
- Mo Kargas
Basically White Castle burgers. About 2.5 inches per side (they are square). The bun has a different texture than a burger bun, kinda like dinner rolls or those Hawaiian rolls (but not sweet) and the meat is really thin.
- Adrian
So you get less meat..I fail to see the point
- Mo Kargas
I like big ass grown up sandwiches, too. My wife's onea them people who cuts sandwiches in half before she eats them.
- ha3rvey (Ho)^3
I don't get it either. I prefer a big goopy freshly made and grilled hamburger than little ones. Also, sounds like the critical meat-to-bun ratio is all off. Too much bread.
- anna sauce
Dude Krystal Burgers are awesome

from fftogo
I am going to make a big juicy hamburger and eat it just for you Derrick. ;-)
- Mathew A. Koeneker
Studies have found you actually eat less with smaller portions in larger quantities.
- Andrew Leahey
I would think that works with filling, low-fat foods - it certainly did when I was actively losing weight - but i doubt this will apply when eating high-fat foods like sliders.
- cecily
It actually was tested on hamburgers, or so I understood. The idea was that psychologically we link amounts to quantity, rather than size, when it comes to food.
- Andrew Leahey
So you eat 1 massive BK burger and think "oh well, I only had one"; or you eat 3 WC burgers and think "man I'm a pig, I ate 3 of those things!" And it comes out to be fewer calories in the end
- Andrew Leahey
white castle > krystal > generic sliders. that is all.
- tiffany
WRONG. I WILL FIGHT YOU ON THIS WHEN YOU GET TO MY PODCAST, MISTER.
- Steven Perez
LOL I see their pointlessness even though the little chicken ones at Friendly's are perfect for me. :( Chicken fingers + cheese + tiny burger bun = HAPPY PENGUIN. I must have a tiny appetite?
- Penguin It's Cold Outside
They were fun when I was 13 and at the theme park. A dozen rides on the rollercoasters and a mini-cheeseburger or three hit the spot. As an adult? No thank you. I've never been to White Castle though, so I reserve judgment there. I hear they're the bees knees though.
- Pete Delucchi
You are correct, Pete. They are indeed the bomb-diggity. AT ANY AGE.
- Steven Perez
Isn't the etymology of the term because they "Slide right from your mouth out your colon"? I didn't think it was a term that was used by "foodies" but just slang for White Castle gut killers. Creeped me out to hear Emeril describe what he was going to do to my lower GI. "A little bun, A little Mayo, A little Slider"
- Matthew DeVries
Until recently Baltimore had Little Tavern burgers (original motto: 5 cents - buy 'em by the bag). aka Death Bullets. I loved them. Sliders are just not as good; you can tell they're cut from a big flat pan of ground beef, not individually hand-rolled from fresh meat. Burgers used to be small like that - remember Wimpy?
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
Sliders don't even have their own wikipedia page....I swear those wikipedia fanboys are drunk sometimes
- Matthew DeVries
Derrick, with all respect..............no. Sliders rule...especially if you're from Chicago.
- Joel Robert Perez
I hope that you all understand the sliders I'm passing up are for all of y'all. I'll be over here eating my 1/3 pound grassfed big beefy burger. :)
- Derrick
That's why you're crazy, Derrick. I prefer my cholesterol in smaller bites. :D

from IM
I don't care either way as long as it tastes good.
- Alex Scoble
I will eat them if 1) they are not fast food/white castle, 2) there is a variety available. That way, I can have several different kinds of mini-sandwiches (plain, with cheese, bacon and cheese, different kinds of cheeses, etc). Otherwise, I just want my one big hamburger.

It goes without saying that Wolverine has taken part in a great many battles over the years. Not only is he well over a century old, fighting is his favorite hobby after guzzling beer and wooing redheads. With razor-sharp adamantium claws, samurai training, and a nigh-unstoppable healing factor, Wolverine has proven a thorn in the side of many Marvel villains and more than a few heroes to boot. Since Wolverine's stock is obviously riding high at the moment, we thought it would be a good time to look back on these many violent scrapes and pick out our favorites. We've assembled a list of the ten greatest fights ever to feature the ol' Canucklehead in rough chronological order (no particular order here - they're all quite good). The faces are familiar, but the choices may surprise you. Everyone loves a good Wolverine debate.

I'm not an Alan Davis fan, so that cover leaves me cold. I'm tempted to say the Claremont/Miller mini is Logan's best stuff, except that I've always been slightly bothered by the fact that a dude who was able to incapacitate the Wendigo and regenerates whole limbs could get his ass handed to him by Mariko's daddy.

" In a capped-up message to fans, West wrote, "'South Park' murdered me last night and it's pretty funny. It hurts my feelings but what can you expect from 'South Park'! "I actually have been working on my ego though. Having the crazy ego is played out at this point in my life and career. I use (sic) to use it to build up my esteem when nobody believed in me. Now that people do believe and support my music and products the best response is thank you, instead of 'I told you so!!!'" And, proving that he's no longer as egocentric as he once was, West even offers kind words about rap rival Lil Wayne: "It's cool to talk [bleep] when you're rapping but not in real life. When you meet Little Wayne in person he's the nicest guy ... I just wanna be a doper person, which starts with me not always telling people how dope I think I am. I need to just get past myself." "

"No matter how often people claim otherwise, Americans are more stupefied by certain things than obsessed with them. One is sex, the other is the Negro, especially the kind who is intelligent and relaxed like Michelle Obama. Some of us seem to believe that this is the most exotic brand and become extremely angry if those people seem to go their own ways and are not looking for advice on how to be themselves. Their parents reared neither fools nor airheads. A dark-skinned person of that sort inspires all manner of hostile drool and childishness—see two interesting cases from the past week."

Cecily, you can't complain about a curmudgeon being angry about one thing one day and then being angry that people are angry about the same thing the next day. His job is to be annoyed with all of us all the time. Derrick, I post that photo every time I post one of his articles because it amuses me so.
