Today I learned that trying to slice a roasted aubergine is extremely difficult.
Fortunately it all fell apart in the tagine anyway, but I'm glad I broke up the skin a bit.
Why can't you just say Eggplant?
Making me Google stuff...
Because I can never remember if that's aubergine or courgette. Also it is a silly word.
Eggplant and Zucchini!!
You old worlders and your fancy words for things.
Zucchini is an even sillier word.
It contains Z.
The silliest letter.
Only if it's Zee rather than Zed.
Fun fact, the Kawasaki ZZR1400 is called the ZX-14 in the US because of pronunciation difficulties.
Also brinjal is clearly the best name for aubergines, even if the word does tend to be used as a shorthand for the pickle prepared from the vegetable in question.
As mad as I am at Chick-Fil-A about their stance on same-sex marriage, they have really good milkshakes that compliment their sandwiches well.
It's not Chick-Fil-A's stance, it's the owner of Chick-Fil-A's stance and people are allowed to hold whatever opinions they want, no matter how terrible, because this is America.
So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

Yum, that looks like excellent tea Bob. I am jealous.
It's nommy Twinings English Breakfast Tea all served up in Twinings branded stuff (which for some reason Boots were selling as part of their Christmas range of gifts).

being allowed to hold whatever opinion does not mean that you can have whatever opinion without receiving scorn and loathing from other people

Chick-fil-A's connection to Christianity has been brought before the courts when Aziz Latif, a Houston-based Muslim employee for six years, sued the company in 2002 for firing him, alleging that he was fired for his religious beliefs when he had refused to take part in an employee prayer.[29] The suit was settled on undisclosed terms.[30]
In January 2011, various news outlets[31][32] reported that Chick-fil-A was co-sponsoring a marriage conference[31] along with the Pennsylvania Family Institute,[33] a 501(c)3 organization that seeks to "strengthen families by restoring to public life the traditional, foundational principles and values essential for the well-being of society".[34] PFI had filed an amicus brief against the trial ruling striking down Proposition 8 in California,[35] and had also lobbied against a state effort to ban discrimination in Pennsylvania on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.[36] At the time the WinShape Foundation was also quoted as stating it would not allow same-sex couples to participate in its marriage retreats.[37][38] In response to the reported connections between PFI and WinShape and to Chick-fil-A's statements, students at several colleges and universities formed grassroots efforts to ban or remove the company from their campuses.
...
Through WinShape, Chick-fil-A has given $3 million to anti-gay social conservative groups since 2003, with a total of $2 million in 2009 alone

Yes, but their opinions can still make them dicks. And people can still be mad about people being dicks.
That's not a bad thing! You're taking him to places that don't exist elsewhere, and that's the point.
Also, you might bump into a celebrity plugging a movie and one thing might lead to another...
More than likely he will visit St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, also probably a bar or two, and the brewery. Ticket prices to the theme parks are soooo expensive!

Well maybe MGM or Epcot, since those are awesome.
They are, you know. The best bits of my Floridian holidays.

I'm pretty sure that some of chik-fil-a's profits go into supporting those groups, so

That is why god invented boycotts. To punish fuckers.

Well yeah.
But hey, if I let politics dictate everything I bought, I would be living in the woods in a lean to, eating things I crafted with a handmade spear.

So I would be dead basically.
Or you can reject the false dichotomy and have a threshold of dickishness at which you don't support something.
I pissed off my MUN group because I refused to do a dinner prayer. My reasoning was we were in a multi-cutural room with many different faiths and no one else was doing it, so why make ourselves the odd ones out and be religious.
That, and the really religious kids could not wrap their heads around me being Agnostic.

I basically only boycott Nestle. Because killing babies is pretty much the most unpleasant behaviour engaged in by any of the companies to whom I may feel inclined to give money.

It's nommy Twinings English Breakfast Tea all served up in Twinings branded stuff (which for some reason Boots were selling as part of their Christmas range of gifts).
I have a box of English Breakfast downstairs. Its really tasty. Probably my normal drinking tea when it is cold.

I love how we're the more secular country despite having an official state religion

I know boycotts are stupid, and yet I still do them.
I try not to buy Nestlé products and have done so for about 10 years. I'm sure that my boycott doesn't really change anything, but I just don't like giving the company money (I do fail sometimes though cos mint Aero is delicious).

The insanity of Chick-Fil-As execs are matched only be the deliciousness of their food.

It's a collaboration!

Man, fuck them.
but I will learn, damnit
But this is America!
It's like I'm upset while scarfing down their milkshake and sandwiches.
"I'M SO PISSED, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU MONEY FOR THIS DELICIOUS FOOD, BIGOTS"

God yes. And smoke.
it is now official
Wimp sucks, compared to spotify.
Interface is worse, and, most importantly, they have less music I want to find.
there's too much music I've found on spotify that I haven't found on Wimp now.
Other way around has never happened.

Really nintendo/capcom this is how youre going to be?
Organized boycotts have been known to be effective.
I try not to eat there because, you know morals and all that, but I'm just saying they've got me by the balls with their milkshakes.

Meh.
And the manager at the local Chick-Fil-A is so nice and half the time I walk by it in the mall they have a magician or sing a long or something.

I even went out for biscuits during an advertisement
