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.

Which is funny because having grown up in the Northeast, Will sounds like a guy from Texas trying hard to suppress his accent.
i don't sound like i'm from around heeah to locals
but apparently when i'm visiting my folks out west, i sound like i'm from boston
(i'm not from texas tho. god i hope i don't have a texas accent)
Maybe not Texas specifically, but around that area. Not the drawl but some of the vowel shift. Definitely heard "ten" come out as "teeuhn" which always screamed Texas to me.

fuck a diet chu, beer batter that badboy in some beef tallow with some rough cut russet potatoes and some malt vinegar.
Fish and chips bitches
i want to be in good shape again
You can do it! But no, in my opinion, frying shit is waaay too much effort. It's actually EASIER to bake/broil fish and chicken than it is to fry it. Just follow Will's advice. He knows how to cook classy. He is to class what you are to guns.
Of course, he's also to open and welcoming of the lower class as you are to stereographic vision.

and it would be fine with me if maybe they'd bathe a little more often

75 percent off of the goddamn merchandise bundles? Where is the catch other than shipping and handling for 16 goddamn dollars? Even with the shipping, it comes out to about 60 dollars cheaper.

But seriously our digestive tracts are amazing at what horrors our stomachs can process. I mean we probably consider things going bad way sooner/quicker than any other region in the world.
There's been a push in the UK recently to remove "display until" and "best before/use by" dates from packaged fresh goods, particularly fruit and veg.
It's because the way the law is currently worded, if it's packaged, it has to have them, and it means that the supermarkets throw away a lot of perfectly edible produce. Hell, I've bought plums and pears that were "out of date" that actually still needed a week or so to ripen.

i love that kids from dorchester call themselves "dot rats"
well yah

if you watch the local news, most of the time the word "shooting" is followed by "at a house party in dorchester"

I can never quite understand when people in the States say they don't have an accent. Course you do, even if it's just standard American (or whatever you guys' equivalent of RP is).

Okay. Slow-roasted yellow tomatoes, cilantro, basil leaves from my plant, creamy goat cheese, crushed red peppers, 2 year aged cheddar cheese, eggs.
Let's make a god damn omelette, [chat].
that sounds pretty great
i'd leave out the cilantro tho. it's gonna fight with the basil
hmm
possibly
the vaguely-mexican-cuisine-ish-ness of these tomatoes would make me leave out the basil instead, if I removed one. I will contemplate this as I begin.

Actually, yes desc. I didn't know this was a thing. Cilantro DOES taste like soap to me.

conneticut is a weird kind of non-state. it's like the middle child of the northeast. its only independent, major city is a complete shithole.
occasionally you'll run into someone with the fairfield county lockjaw accent tho and it is delightful.
Hey, we have two major cities and they each have their own cultural identity. For example, if you're looking to bribe a corrupt politician shortly before getting mugged, then Hartford is the place. If you're more in the mood for drugs and multiple homicide, then make your way to beautiful New Haven!

New Haven sounds like the name of a victorian mental institution.
New Hampshire has an accent. If you don't believe so, come to the Midwest. We have the "American"accent. I don't though. I have a weird Colorado accent that has been flushed out with some Midwest.
Accents are fun. Especially the people I know from the Dakotas who say warsh and crick for wash and creek. I had a teacher do that as well.

It's believed to be a genetic thing. Something about how a minority of people perceive a particular chemical as particularly foul tasting, and the majority don't perceive it at all, or something.

Also, you're a cylon. Sorry.
"Modern cilantrophobes tend to describe the offending flavor as soapy rather than buggy. I don’t hate cilantro, but it does sometimes remind me of hand lotion. Each of these associations turns out to make good chemical sense.
Flavor chemists have found that cilantro aroma is created by a half-dozen or so substances, and most of these are modified fragments of fat molecules called aldehydes. The same or similar aldehydes are also found in soaps and lotions and the bug family of insects.
Soaps are made by fragmenting fat molecules with strongly alkaline lye or its equivalent, and aldehydes are a byproduct of this process, as they are when oxygen in the air attacks the fats and oils in cosmetics. And many bugs make strong-smelling, aldehyde-rich body fluids to attract or repel other creatures.
The published studies of cilantro aroma describe individual aldehydes as having both cilantrolike and soapy qualities. Several flavor chemists told me in e-mail messages that they smell a soapy note in the whole herb as well, but still find its aroma fresh and pleasant."

It use to be a lot more varied till TV in the states. What you hear from Americans on TV is Midwest(Missouri, Illinois and that area). There are more famous accents but aren't as common such as Southern which has tons of variations and Brooklyn, New York. The latter is what John Stewart goes into when he is being all New York like.
The Southern accent, especially the old states like the Carolinas and Virgina are actually evolved from an English West Country accent that is now extinct in England.

At least no one has pointed out that I have an accent.
many people who live in the northeast have never left the northeast.
so anyone from west of the alleghennies or south of new york sound pretty much like texans to them.
Trader Joe's does these yuppie-ass fancy smoked gorgonzola crackers and I can inhale half a box in one sitting, no problem.

mainers do too.

No, Northern NH not down around Concord or Manchester, where all the flat landers live. Up around Berlin and Conway.
And yes, that Maine accent is ludicrous.

Are you one of those people to whom cilantro tastes like soap-death? I understand that this is actually fairly common.
Cilantro tastes like chlorophyll converts sunlight to the taste of freshness to me. I would put it in damn near anything.
Also these roasted tomatoes might win you over. They are ridiculously smoky-flavorful.
WAIT I have an avocado too! Get in this omelette!

So yeah, apparently for a lot of people it tastes like eating soap. For the rest of us, it tastes "fresh."
