*Shines the Gay Bat Symbol* - It's undetermined if it's fake, but a Madonna 2012 tour itinerary has leaked!! -- (link) - MDH Oct 12, 14:51 4
- I have a hard time seeing Madonna playing football stadiums. It just doesn't seem like a good fit for what she does. -- nm - pmb Oct 12, 14:56 2
  - It's the only venue that can hold her show without doing like 6 nights in a city I guess. - MDH Oct 12, 14:58 1
    - Multiple nights makes much more sense. I saw her last tour and I just don't see it playing well in a stadium. It's all about the visual for her and - pmb Oct 12, 15:01

So, have any dems announced campaigns to challenge Obama for the nomination? Will anyone we have heard of run? - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 12, 14:26 15

  - I don't imagine Obama will have a second of worry about the nomination, but it would be fun if there were a debate or two. -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 12, 14:46

What's funny is on B2, I knew the ST gays would call me out for the drinking over chocolate. So predictable. :-) -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 14:20 16

      - Midori? shakes head. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 14:39 2

        ewww... -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 14:43
  - Completely true, and will not deny it. At least sprite migth be able to pass as club when someone is drunk? - MDH Oct 12, 14:28 3
    - I actually like Rum and Sprite, but rarely have it since bars never have Diet Sprite - ty97 Oct 12, 14:30 1

  - I would actually watch if they get Prince -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 14:36
  - [deleted] 11
    - Word. I hope he stays in the NL and goes nowhere near the Jays. - Krusty Oct 12, 14:42 4
      - I doubt he would sign with a team that plays on turf. Or in Canada. - Name Withheld by Request Oct 12, 14:44 3
        
        The turf is the biggest issue. His knees would take a beating playing 81 games there. -- nm - Krusty Oct 12, 14:48 1
        
        Yep. It's why Scott Rolan needed out not that long after coming. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Oct 12, 14:49

        Yes, you are right. I confused the concepts for awhile there, but blanked out that the Yanks made playoffs most of the "drought" years. - Name Withheld by Request Oct 12, 14:48 3

        Oh, the leadership reference wasn't just towards the manager. It was players as well if reports are correct. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Oct 12, 14:59 1

- The only time I ever use ketchup is on fries. Otherwise it's steak or BBQ sauce or salsa. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 12, 14:19
- call me typical predictable american, but mayo + fries = BLECH. -- nm - kare Oct 12, 14:18 14
  - tartar sauce -- nm - moles Oct 12, 14:23 1
    - that's different! -- nm - kare Oct 12, 14:23
  - but what if it's chipotle-mayo and fries? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 14:19 11
    - There was a now-long-gone frites stand on Third Street called Benita's Frites. Had about fifteen different flavored varieties of mayo. - con_carne Oct 12, 14:28
    - flavored mayo is a *little* different. maybe the right kind of aioli, and tartar sauce is often pretty good. -- nm - kare Oct 12, 14:20 1
      - This sauce is mayo-based but delish. -- (link) - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 12, 14:28
    - oh, if they just call it "aioli", white people freak out. :) -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 14:20 7
      - seriously. They've tried to encode this to trip us mayo-haters up, but I've cracked the code. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:21 2
        
        right? nice try evil-doers, nice try. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 14:22 1
        
        [deleted]
      - lol. -- nm - kare Oct 12, 14:21 3
        
        heck, put "aioli" and "frites" on the same menu item, and we won't even ask how much it costs. - TFox Oct 12, 14:24 2
        
        mmm...frites... -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 14:24 1
        
        food code has been cracking my shit up recently. like Wendy's. "Natural Cut Fries with Sea Salt". - TFox Oct 12, 14:27
- I've been having fries with mustard lately, which is awesome sauce. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:18 1
  - [deleted]
- it was fine, but it didn't make me think "why was ketchup even invented?!" -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 14:18
If I ever leave Canada to live abroad for more than six months, I'm taking a case of Old Dutch Ketchup chips with me. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Oct 12, 14:16 33
- The Australian barbecue flavour of chips is the one I miss. Completely different flavour to North American barbecue chips -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 14:25
- [deleted] 19
  - I think maybe salt and vinegar is the canadian flavour that the rest of the world is slow to adopt. I could be wrong. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 14:19 18
    - it's ketchup, and dill pickle that I see people raise an eyebrow over. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:22 9
      - i love dill pickle. i also love the salt and vinegar ones that are so tangy your mouth actually puckers and starts watering just from the smell. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 14:24
      - see, dill pickle sounds delicious. -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 14:23 6
        
        Lay's dill pickle is the best potato chip there is. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 14:49
        
        it sounds... soggy and fake. -- nm - kare Oct 12, 14:24 4
        
        no more than salt & vinegar. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 14:26
        
        just think of the herb dill + salt. that's the flavour. take 'pickles' out of it. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 14:25 1
        
        okay, i think i'm with you now. -- nm - kare Oct 12, 14:28
        
        if they can fry actual pickles and keep em crunchy and delicious, there's no reason they can't imbue a chip with that shit. -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 14:25
      - yeah, dill pickle seems a little weird to me. -- nm - kare Oct 12, 14:23

      - the Sweet Chili ones are awesome, but you don't like spicy. -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 14:34
      - cool ranch is pretty good, yeah. I tried cheeseburger doritos once ... tasted accurate, but awful aftertaste -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 14:23
    - That's your British heritage. Fish and chips require a good malt vinegar. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 12, 14:20
    - you're wrong. ;) well, i can only speak for the US, but it's been around here forever and they're pretty well loved. -- nm - kare Oct 12, 14:20 3
      - But you're pretty much just a southern suburb of Vancouver, right? ;) -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 12, 14:46
      - Indeed, it would seem so, but here's an awesome list from wikipedia ... - Beryllium Oct 12, 14:22 1
        
        roast chicken? gross (this list doesn't really prove your point) -- nm - kare Oct 12, 14:26
- I like ketchup chips. (Oh! ST just put on its shocked face, I can tell.) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 14:17 11
  - ketchup is mostly vinegar and sugar, so it makes sense. (I like ketchup chips) -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 14:19 1
    - And that's the key with Old Dutch's Ketchup recipe... It's got a nice sweetness to it. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Oct 12, 14:21
  - i used to hate salt and vinegar chips, but learned to love them. -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 14:18 8
    - that's like learning to love masturbation -- nm - moles Oct 12, 14:23
    - tim's cascade makes wasabi potato chips. now *those* are something. especially with a nice cold beer. -- nm - kare Oct 12, 14:19 5
      - I wish ty was here to tell us about crazy Japanese chip flavors. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 14:22 3
        
        Superstore has been doing "flavours of the world" on their chips. Italian lemon, piri piri, Szechuan, Greek feta, a bunch more I'm forgetting. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:24 2
        
        dear God, just when I think I've heard them all. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 14:26
        
        smokey bbq, baby back ribs, General Tao chicken. They are great flavours, but it's a shame they use Canada's worst potatoes to make them -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 14:26
      - mmmmmmmmmmmm -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 14:21
    - malt and/or balsamic vinegar chips are great. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:19
A fun fact (or factoid) about avocados ... -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 12, 14:15 2
- Huh. That must be why I always instinctively buy them in pairs. -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 12, 14:19
- funnily enough, they're rumored to help with fertility. -- nm - kare Oct 12, 14:16
That was one long-assed BOC. More than 75 minutes. -- nm - GregW Oct 12, 14:15
after everything that has been posted here, ever. it is MDH's statement that he never wanted to try a candy bar that finally makes our heads explode. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 14:15 10
- i'm just a little tempted to call elves....but nobody would ever make *that* up, right? -- nm - prayformojo Oct 12, 14:17 2
  - Call elves if you want. But I'm not even kidding. I was that kid trading all their halloween candy for skittles. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 14:19 1
    - Skittles is pretty awesome. -- nm - Kalki Helaku from Later, Skater Oct 12, 14:28
