You voted for the Mixer over the TV?

I don't need a tv, I need a mixer. I didn't "win" ANY of the votes. I voted:

PS3 because I don't want a Wii and out of the two gimped consoles left, one has an HD player built-in.
The Panny slim camera because I need a slim camera for the pocket.
The microscope. Scooter? Fuck that, microscopes rule and I need one.
Blu-Ray player. Meh about all the choices, wouldn't have bought any.
GPS. We travel. Laptop was a good deal, though. The bling entry made me chuckle.
And the mixer because I need one but don't want to spend $250 for one. Amazon actually has a good price anyway with the rebate.

[voodoolily]

I just don't bake enough to spend the full price on one imo, but at that price I could!

Ha, I never really use mine for baking - I have the meat grinder attachment so I can make yummeh ragouts from the venison my dad brings me and buffalo/lamb Swedish meatballs from scratch! I need to get the sausage attachment next.

[Sky]

Ach. Why do I always forget that's why I want it?? And the pasta attachment! I love making pasta, but it always ends up being huge fat noodles (which is ok, too).

[Murgos]

I need to get the sausage attachment next.

A commonly heard lament from housewives in general I'd imagine...

[voodoolily]

I'm not a housewife.

[MrHat]

Given his grief title, I don't think Sky's in the market for a TV.  I voted for the mixer too - at that price, it'd be a great gift.

Everyone wants a 70% off HDTV.

F13 gets better and better.  We have meat.  We have beer.  We have games, films and TV.  It's like going on vacation where no one you know lives.

   Fun, fun fun in the sun, sun sun!

I forgot... we also have the snacktastical forum that all snacktastical forums aspire to be.  If word got out, we'd be swamped with fatties!

Have I mentioned lately how absolutely adorable Signe is? I feel snugs for her.

[cmlancas]

Be careful with those grinder-head-attachment things, people. I've heard terrible, terrible stories. 

[Signe]

I used to make sausage (God, I hate that word) when I was younger and had bought an Italian Deli in my neighbourhood for my mother.  I used pork butts only, salt and pepper, no fennel.  I refused to make Liver sausage because it smelled nasty.  People used to pay tons for it.  My sausage contraption looked like this one:

Only bigger.

I had a special walk in cooler to hang the sausage until it was ready to sell.  I did this once a week.  People would get to my shop at 6 AM and it would all be gone by 8 AM.  It was lovely and not hard at all to make. 

[Miasma]

bought an Italian Deli in my neighbourhood for my mother.

I can never tell if you're being serious or not.  You and Sky should both write little biography articles for the front page.

[Signe]

Yes, I was being serious.  There was an old lady who owned a small Italian deli that wasn't far from our house.  She didn't want to work any more and my mother wanted something to do.  She was an incredible cook so I bought the business and she did the cooking.  My sister and I took turns working in the deli.  It was very popular but it wasn't open late and we had it for a couple of years until my mother got the whole "doing something" out of her system.  I didn't own the building so I just sold the stuff when it was all over and called it a day.  I didn't make any money but I didn't really lose any, either. 

I'm usually serious, aren't I? 

[stray]

I think I'm going to become a vegetarian. Possibly a half assed vegan.

[Yegolev]

See, I can't just avoid eating honey.  Or meat.

[stray]

Milk/dairy and my trusty leather boots are the kicker for me. I could and have gone without meat easily.

Anyways, I watched I Am an Animal on HBO... At the very least, I don't want to turn a blind eye to animal cruelty and slaughter anymore. I think Vegans and PETA are way too extreme though.

[Oban]

I could never go Vegan.

Speaking of which...  Mmmmm, brains...

[geldonyetich2]

Poor bastards.

[Signe]

God, I  AC/DC. 

Just sayin'.

[stray]

I love Bon Scott AC/DC. Only like Brian Johnson AC/DC.

[Engels]

Signe, you make sausage, you love AC/DC. You're like, the perfect girl.

[Signe]

I don't make sausage anymore.  I can't even say the word.  Especially alongside words with an ube or ooze sound.  Anyway, I do love AC/DC.  Righ was playing their DVD last night and I remembered how much I love them.  I really liked Bon Scott but I LOVE Brian Johnson!  God, I love AC/DC.  Did I say?

[stray]

I would admit that Johnson is the definitely the better singer, but Scott is like the frontman to end all frontmen.

[Sky]

The Bonfire boxset rocks, but still falls short of my favorite AC/DC album, If You Want Blood, You've Got It.

I like Back in Black, and a couple songs off the next couple discs, but I don't really care for AC/DC after that. Love all the Bon Scott stuff. I totally disagree about Brian being a better singer, I can barely stand his screeching, grating voice.

On vegetarianism. I tend to hate that word, I should add it to the buzzword list. It's herbivore, numbnuts. You don't call carnivores meatitarians. Also, bacon destroys any hope of me being an herbivore. I'm a full-on omnivore, I love food and embrace my position atop the food chain. More bacon, please.

Now I feel like throwing on Dirty Deeds and eating a pound of bacon.

[stray]

If I wanted to be an herbivore, I might have said it. But I don't necessarily mean that when I say vegetarian. It's not like I could stay away from all animal based products. I could never give up dairy, for instance.

As for bacon, I've been turning a blind eye to some truly horrendous, malicious shit for too long now. It goes beyond the justification of sitting atop the food chain to me.

[edit] Besides, pigs are smart and can play video games! Sounds more like a friend, than food.

[Engels]

What DVD does Righ have then? I own No Bull, a concert from 1999, I think. I've seen Let There Be Rock and some other random footage.

I'm not really sold on one singer or the other. I go by mood, and by song. Sometimes its simple songs like Jailbreak, sometimes its more melodic songs like the Razor's Edge or Ride On.

[Signe]

He put on the second part of Family Jewels.  I think the first bit is Bon Scott and the second is Brian Johnson.  Actually, I was going to watch a film but the AC/DC but he had already stuck in the AC/DC dvd and then said, "well, I guess we'll have to watch this instead" and it was all good.

that is friggen awesome, I want to be a meatitarian!

[IainC]

When we were at D3 in Copenhagen, the stand was next to the Samsung booth and they were demonstrating their home cinema systems with live AC/DC videos. It was ace not only for the obvious reasons but also because it drowned out the Singstar contest from the Sony booth opposite us. 

[Sky]

Ace is one of those buzzwords from the other thread.

[Signe]

What's wrong with the word "ace"?

[Murgos]

I had some not cured, smoked, vegetarian fed, free range bacon this weekend.  It was quite tasty and at 30 calories a slice entirely guilt free.

[stray]

I think Ace has been around since at least the Fonzie days. It can't be a "buzzword"!

[Yoru]

I was at a party on Saturday with a former coworker. He showed me his new project: Partytoilet Dot Com.

Apparently it's made $3 in the past week.

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

Profit?  Not bad.
