Would there be anything other than default snark and mockery waiting no matter what I turned in? Hmm?

Yes, if you could successfully answer the question.  You cannot.

I did give you a test in the prior post.  You failed.  As expected.

The Diner / Re: What are you eating?

Last post by DavidW - November 27, 2025, 01:02:57 PM

I winged it and made some soup (trying to use up some things in my refrigerator):  Basically, a carrot soup using some orange carrots (also have some other "rainbow" ones), a small fennel bulb, onions, olive oil, some garlic, some butter, vegetable stock, salt, and a few red potatoes...and I think that was it.  Oh!  I also added some grated ginger and some grated turmeric (plus a bit of dried). I cooked it and then puréed it in a blender (had to add a bit of water).  I enjoyed it (finished it last night) and gave some to a friend--who said that they also really liked it.  And so, am thankful.

My Thanksgiving dinner was ham, sweet potatoes, and green beans with cashews.

You want me to give me a test and have me take it? That's something you would never do.

On Spotify:

Cock Robin - Cock Robin
Cock Robin - First Love/Last Rites

I while ago I bought their 2nd album After Here Trough Midland which I have liked a lot. Now I listened to the first and third albums again to make my mind if I want to try and buy them too. Well, these are "nice" albums, but in my opinion After Here Trough Midland is better. I feel like it is enough for me from this group. I can of course check out their newer releases, but I have been after 80s pop style.

You have no idea at all what I have considered on this topic.  Based on your posts, you have spent far less time reading about it and considering it than I have. 

"Incorrect".

As for the other stuff I'll give another Todd reply: I have elaborated on this somewhere in my posting history. Go through all my posts and see if you can find it. (Hilarious, right?)

I have this CD, and have never been able to figure out why they're posing with fluorescent ceiling lights.

I assume they were battery powered, since there's no sign of external power source.

(H/T @André )

This artwork could actually look cool if they were in an otherwise dark room those ceiling lights being the only source of light. Also, the font and the large caps between the letters don't work here.
