On the subject of food, apparently Brussels sprouts are getting sweeter and more palatable these days, It must be true, Greg Wallace told me. So go ahead and pile those sprouts on to your Christmas dinner.

If that's true, it is a crying shame.

Which brand? [emoji16]

My wife sautés them with a little cayenne and they taste pretty good. You gotta avoid overcooking then.

Good question, I don't know, but you're right, there are many varieties of sprout. And the days of acute sprout bitterness are apparently gone. However many of us are traumatised by childhood experiences of, yes, overcooked and bitter tasting sprouts.
But now, many modern varieties have a naturally sweeter taste.

Good tip, I'll try it!

Over in the funny pictures thread I was about to proudly call myself a Geography Nazi. I took pause though. So I looked up an alternative and found this wonderful piece. I thought I'd share it here, not in funny pictures.

What should we call Grammer Nazis?

I coined Syntax Justice Warrior as an alternative.

Leave justice out. Most bashes are subjective to the viewers outlook. They could call almost everyone out here for something or another. We all know how easy it is to misspell on a phone's keyboard or else have the AI come up with something totally unrelated.

Trying to type with a Siamese cat sitting on your lap and headbutting for attention ain't easy.

The author of the article kind of spoke to me though. I shared his views. I was also wondering if Seinfeld started the whole thing. NO SOUP FOR YOU!

I tore down and fixed a laptop for a friend of a friend. I called my friend halfway through and said, she either has I white dog or a white cat, I'm guessing cat. He said "how did you guess...." it was overheating because the fan was full of white hairs.

Shout out to @Bg260 for making Lilly festive. As he was doing that for me I was in the back yard with the dogs, it's snowing out. Lilly loved the snow so much, I pictured her rolling around and having fun. I was all sad and teary missing her and am really touched that BG did this for me. Thanks so much.

There, I am festive.

Heh, the hat makes me look even grumpier.

Again, shout-out to @Bg260 for this lovely avatar.

Oh, hey, I found his brother:

Too damn happy! That's like the Pharnell Williams version of your avatar.

Clementine_3 · Dec 13, 2016

That's not his brother, that's an unrelated happy cat. Most assuredly not any kin to your grumpy cat.

As I have found, generally speaking, siblings are usually completely opposite. So maybe, just maybe they are indeed brothers ...

Actually, they are brothers. I stole my avatar from the webcomic Two Lumps, his name is Ebeneezer, or Eben. His brother is Snootch.

Smokehouse=Barbecue joint

How does that work? When I think Smokehouse I think Fire Department Training.

no one · Dec 13, 2016

Smokehouse can have several meanings. For example , the Last Post Wins thread could also be a smokehouse, since I continually smoke its inhabitants.

dontpanicbobby · Dec 13, 2016

no one didn't!

@Grammar Nazis: Were the parentheses right?
