Nope, Minnesotan to the core. xp

Minnesotan to the core... which is BRITISH

What IS a corndog, anyway?

;-)

More Scandinavian-ish, but British would be preferable.

xp Yeah, and French, too. I'll also cop to German and Irish (or possibly Scottish; suddenly the Irish is in question)

wait, are you telling me an American doesn't like a corndog????

Dan, you are dead to me.

YES. (me) xp

If you were really Scandinavian, you'd be so busy eating things like lye-soaked cod and rotting shark that a little barbecue sauce or a corn dog would be culinary child's play.

Also I think John misparsed my sentence. ;_;

lol, i've never had a corndog either i should STFU

perhaps corn dogs are simply too spicy for the scandanavian

WTF QUE

OKAY SO THIS IS MY WORLD RIGHT NOW:

this is all getting very 2g1c

I have no idea how to interpret "2g1c"

AHEM. My best example: raw crab. Bad taste, horrific texture.

there is a great SUMMERTIME CORNDOG FUNSTAND about 3 blocks from me, its like i live next door to a state fair 5 months a year!

(xp) I would tell you to google it but I like you.

I don't know why I cannot resist looking these things up. SIGH

"2g1c": Bad taste, horrific texture.

Really, just the bacterial contamination issue alone is TERRIFYING

you know I STILL have never seen that awful, awful thing

In college we decided that corn dogs were the perfect food because they have all four food groups: corn (grain), dog (meat), breading (made with dairy), and ketchup (veggie/fruit if you pull the "tomato is a fruit" crap). I live by that reasoning still.

That is my thinking about PIZZA

I'm impressed that you have resisted thus far. xp

NATURE'S PERFECT FOOD

Raw crab?
Also, not Norwegian and I will defend lutefisk.

But I like almost anything that is smoked or pickled.

Or soaked in LYE?!

Man Sara I'm a filthy vegetarian and even I like corndogs (Abbs otm in re: Satan's Meatless Corndogs).

My best friend and her husband are vegetarians and they eat those all the time. I just cannot, seeing as how I don't even like real corndogs!

Gah, I'm surrounded on all sides.

surrounded by corn dogs = HEAVEN

surrounded by corndog-wielding nutcases = PURGATORY

wtf who's wasting time wielding a corndog when you could be eating it? psychos

mr yuk sticker

the corn dogs at Cedar Point have got to be the best in the world. They're not frozen: they take the dog, skewer it, dip it in batter, and fry it.

I would like to try corn bratwurst sometime

Okay, that sounds better.

wait, I just thought of the most amazing idea

corncorn

uhhh how do you typically buy corn dogs at stands? do they take them out of a freezer & microwave them in front of you?

Shit.

xpost, but, y'know, not.

that is kind of brilliant hd

Like, on the cob?

That could work.

http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/317/Batter_Fried_CornOnTheCob45948.shtml

LIKE THIS

nah they usually fry them, but they're premade (xpost)

kettle corn corn

Why do I still not own a deep fat fryer? WHY

Jesus, this is the perfect food for me to make for the house of four dudes I currently live with.

It's meatless for me, yet shows the kind of trademark disregard for all food-related decency that makes the early-20's American male salivate.

You'll be a hero!

oops, wrong thread.

No, I think this is exactly the right thread.

Minnesotans don't eat lutefisk. They only have it on the store shelves for show. Minnesotans eat Leann Chin's orange chicken, and are terrified of eating at any restaurant that is not a fast food chain.

Except.. I guess my grandpa used to make and eat clabber. I don't know if that's because he was Minnesotan or drunk.

Also I am mostly indifferent to corn dogs.

This is simultaneously a Raymond Carver short story and a Zen koan.

i have never had a corn dog, but i have had corn and dog. no wait...

i have had a "lobster corn dog"

wait wau what? please tell us more about this lobster corn dog

Only way to have a lobster corn dog is if you are wearing capris.

I'm not sure why my wife calls them "bitch pants".

Does it have to do with the pants themselves or what's inside?

This thread is making my head spin.

But I might just be hungry.

wait wau what? please tell us more about this lobster corn dog

the dog = lobster. it is native to the region of HI DERE.

but not to hi dere's native region

so we are talking lobster breaded in corn meal?!?!???

scarawesomed

So, wait, how is the lobster cooked then... just, like, fried inside the breading?

Hmmmmmm. I might be able to get behind that.

Fried inside the exoskeleton even. It's an oddly shaped dog.

Well, I do like crunchy snacks...

i feel like i am living in a lobster trap of lies

Claw your way out.

Birth pants are made out of placentas. Asshole pants are made out of hemp.

never heard of a lobster corn dog. i have heard of a lobster roll though which is a hot dog bun filled with lobster meat.

http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=%22lobster+corn+dog%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

one of those links claims it as a signature Michael Mina recipe, but I thot Jasper White was first

could be wrong

xp mmmmmm lobster rolls YUM

omg I was hoping the lobster corn dog involved lobster sausage mmmmmmmmmmm

lobstage

The tantric form of poppage, I presume.

i had corn and dog tonight. also, coleslaw, watermelon and the king of beers.

authorities are negotiating round-the-clock for your release.

bob dylan played my last meal

nothing ruins an execution like a dancing dude with "SOY BOMB" painted on his chest

Not if he's the guy being executed.

I thought that guy was really cool in junior high.

Bahaha, yup, I still have a pic I drew of him & Dylan. Not wort scanning tho.

ITR CLASSIC THREAD BUMP

also i want a corn dog

just reading through this made me sort of almost yearn for the days of yesteryear, but it didn't make me want a corn dog

still thinking the lobster dog might be good, tho

you know you totally want a corn dog, stop fronting

RONG

considering eating the last hot cross bun in the house, tho

are you sure it isn't a corn dog in cunning disguise

i am impressed that sara eats imaginary food that only exists in nursery rhymes

when I was a confused child, I thought "hot cross buns" had something to do with the Klan

you should probably go out in the back yard and harvest your gumdrop tree while you are at it

xpost hahhahaaa really?

no, not really ;_;

awww boo

you have ruined my morning now, THANKS A LOT DAN

Also I bought the hot cross buns at Panera Bread, and for some reason they insist on putting dried strawberries instead of raisins into them. Not as good as regular ones.

regular "imaginary" ones

"brb pruning the lollipop bushes over here on big rock candy mountain"

one of my friends insists that everything at Panera tastes like a caeser salad (this is actually true)

did he go to the magical land of Panera by climbing through an old wardrobe in his uncles house

I think I'm buying the wrong stuff at Panera then. And I LOVE Caesar salad. ; _ ;

I do draw the line at a Caesar salad latte, though. I have standards.

"may I interest you in an iced coffee, young one? it only tastes a little like Caeser salad"

Well since you called me "young," I can't possibly resist.

actually you'd probably end up as Susan, wouldn't you

but both John and I would be Edwin

at least we can agree that FB would be Lucy

I feel like I've been insulted somehow but now I have to go re-read a book to remind myself how that has happened...

Susan was the independent-minded older sister who stopped believing in Narnia

In The Last Battle, Susan is conspicuous by her absence. Peter says that she is "no longer a friend of Narnia", and (in Jill Pole's words) "she's interested in nothing now-a-days except nylons and lipstick and invitations." Similarly, Eustace Scrubb quotes her as saying, "What wonderful memories you have! Fancy you still thinking about all those funny games we used to play when we were children," and Polly Plummer adds, "She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. Her whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one's life as quick as she can and then stop there as long as she can." Thus, Susan does not enter the real Narnia with the others at the end of the series.

okay, yep, that's me... well maybe not the nylons

maybe if I only believed in Narnia I could not kill every gumdrop tree I try to plant ;_;

"...nylons and lipstick and invitations." Sounds like a Bryan Ferry lyric.

reading that paragraph reminded me how much I hated all the Narnia travelers by the end of the series

like, shut up you judgy fucks, only one of you actually knows how to LIVE and the rest of you are actually dead

^^^ more evidence that I desperately need to re-read? Apparently the whole series fell through the gigantic gap in my memory.

Can I just go ahead and blame nursing school? Because that is my inclination.

they're all actually dead in the end, but susan doesnt get to heaven iirc

Hot cross buns exist, and are the only thing we ever actually thanked the british for i think

The proselytising in the Narnia books got a little tedious after awhile.

I guarantee that when you reread, you will find yourself rooting for most of them to die

yeah, but at the time i think it would have gone over most readers' heads.

it's interesting because in many ways it's the exact opposite of Pullman's His Dark Materials but at some point near the end of both you find yourself really rooting for an apocalypse to come sweeping through and get rid of all the people doing things you think are stupid

or maybe that's just me

His Dark Materials I remember a little better - first book was ace, second one was pretty good, third one was still creative but I remember thinking the end was disappointing

felt the same way about 'green eggs and ham'

Lately I've gotten the notion while reading fiction that writing a good ending is really, really difficult. I've run into trite endings and a few that didn't make any sense at all.

xp LOL

It started early for you, then.

i want to say yes.....

Damned fish in '1 fish, 2 fish' got on my nerves, too.

agree with you on endings, particularly with anything fantasy-y

There has to be a word for that

Stephen King Syndrome

lol, funnily enough I was thinking specifically of a book by Stephen King's son, Joe Hill (_Horns_). Great concept, the end is a mishmash of wtf happened?

At least w Stephen King I usually understand what he was trying to get at...

no, i meant fantasy-y

Pat endings don't satisfy. Many non-ending endings don't satisfy. Improbable endings don't satisfy. One of the things I most adored about Maugham short stories as a kid was how often they had perfect endings.

Also took it into my head to read the first _30 Days of Night_ graphic novel which was all great concept and terrible everything else.

the movie is actually pretty decent

xp Michael, that's how I felt about Ray Bradbury short stories when I was younger, but now I'm afraid to go back and re-read them because I'm afraid I'll think they suck now

they don't, not at all

"The Veldt" is still terrifying

Dan - it's in my Netflix queue, just haven't been in a vampire-y mood since reading that. Loved the first two _Walking Dead_ graphic novels and am lobbying for more of them for Mother's Day.

Oh, man, "The Veldt" is what got me hooked...

I used to go to the library and use the CARD CATALOG to find Bradbury books that weren't on the HSTNGS shelves. I remember using little slips of paper to make requests. Sometimes it even worked!

http://www.veddma.com/veddma/Veldt.htm

Man, I love the internets...

Yeah after a bunch of musing I recently realized that in retrospect I pretty much hated the Panera series as well.

well what do you expect when you read a series that's about Caesar salad flavored coffee drinks?

to be up all night burping anchovies

I feel like there's probably some lower GI effects possible here, too, but I'll refrain from elaborating.

I come to bury caeser, not to make pastries and beverages that taste like him

there's an obvious, environmentally conscious solution here that will save you time...

SOYLENT GREEN IS CAESAR!!!

btw everyone here loves me enough to go buy a copy of The Mountain Goats' All Eternals Deck this week, right

You get a royalty? Niiiice, I figured you got a flat fee.

no royalties, I just want to be able to say "I was on an album that debuted in Billboard's Top 200"

yeah, I was making a horribly formed not-even-a-joke. Congrats on being on the record, btw!

^_^ TY

whoa, I didn't know about that! Cool!!!

I guess I'd better try to find some spending money!

maybe you could sell some of your magic beans that you grow in imaginationville

I'll sell you a thousand acres there. I think you'll like it, as long as you stay away from some of the stupider stuff (if you see someone sparkling in the sunlight, RUN!).

oh no, you have ravers

haven't figured out how to eradicate them yet

tried feeding them the magic beans, but that just led to unpleasant intestinal problems for them, which quickly becomes a problem for everyone else

PS John - do NOT eat the magic beans!

you can repel them with liberal doses of Nickelback

side-effects include: having to listen to Nickelback

lol, could be worse

a neverending loop of "Achy Breaky Heart" will repel *anything*

you can also thin them out by asking to see their resumes

but the ones who stay will be super-persistent and will regale you with tales of their work experience, so it's best to use this strategy judiciously

you can make the ones who stay mow your lawn

if your outdoor holdings are more expansive than that, you can grt them to actually separate the wheat from the chaff

lol
