Random Rants LX: I wish to register a complaint

[SS-18 ICBM]

That package of Tim Tams did not last long. I'm sad now.

 

[bhavv]

So I just wanted to put all the jalapenos on my pizza, but they had gone off with black and mould

Well at least I didn't destroy my mouth again.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Ah, the wonders of basing an economy heavily on oil. I sure hope the Canadian electorate puts him in power again.

 

[bhavv]

So earlier I treated myself to fish n chips n sausage after my first day of work in over 8 years. Then, from another thread I googled deep fried porridge, which led me to deep fried mars bars ....

All that lovely dinner I ate is barfed all over my bed. TY Snerk.

 

[Borachio]

Still. Look on the bright side, Mr Havv: the English summer is well and truly over. Barf or no barf.

 

[bhavv]

Well I lied.

I didn't actually barf.

But I literally felt a full internal barf-worthy-implosion.

 

[Borachio]

Ah, but now you've admitted to lying, how do we know what you literally felt or not?

Not that I don't believe you, of course. Oh dear me no.

 

[bhavv]

I wanted to barf oh so much barfetty barf when I had that image of a deep fried mars bar placed inside my brain cells.

Why brain cells oh why must you absorb such things?

 

[Borachio]

I bet you didn't even get so much as a reflux. Never mind a mouthful of vomit that you had to quickly swallow again.

Let's try it again.

Spoiler :

Hmm. Yummy.

 

[Arakhor]

How on earth could a deep fried Mars bar elicit such a response when wasn't it you who started a thread on deep-fried butter?!

 

[Civ'ed]

deep fried mars bar doesnt actually look that bad.

 

[Snerk]

It kinda looks like it's already passed through the digestive system once..

The company that owns the apartment building where I live has decided to make some cosmetic changes to the outside walkway between the front of the building and the parking lot. So throughout the month of September, we have to put up with noise all day, every weekday. There's been a guy jackhammering outside my window all morning, and all I can say is thank goodness I bought those industrial earmuff things a few years ago, when I had a too-noisy vacuum cleaner. They're all that's saving my sanity (and my hearing) right now.

I finally heard back from the company with whom I interviewed 4 weeks ago. I did not get the job. Apparently they decided that they had a much more urgent need for another landscape architect than another engineer, and aren't prepared to take on two new people at once.

no idea what a mars bar is but deep fried snicker bars are amazing.

 

[Borachio]

I'm amazed. The company being American.

Mars (also Mars bar) is a chocolate bar manufactured by American chocolate company Mars, Incorporated. It was first manufactured in 1932 in Slough, Buckinghamshire in the United Kingdom and was advertised to the trade as being made with Cadbury's chocolate as "couverture".

In the United States, a different confection bore the Mars bar name. Featuring nougat, almonds, and a milk chocolate coating, the American Mars bar was discontinued in 2002. A similar bar featuring the Mars name was relaunched in the US in 2010.

But very nasty things they are. No matter who makes them, or why, or whether they're deep-fried or not.

A Mars bar is a Milky Way with almonds in it.

 

[cardgame]

I think I've seen a mars bar once. I think Snickers stole all their market share.

Well, Snickers was made by the same people, so "stole" isn't really accurate. Peanuts are a lot cheaper than almonds, so I'm sure the Mars Candy Company pushed Snickers harder than Mars bars at any opportunity. In fact, I'm pretty sure peanuts are the cheapest ingredient in any of them, so they probably push Snickers harder than anything. I prefer Milky Way myself.
