Yeah, I always wondered what went on in that church. Or any church, for that matter. I imagine fantastical goings-on.

Elves and fairies and chipmunks and dancing ponies and the like.

when you're a kid there's no such thing as sleeping late christmas morning. you crash later.

i wouldn't mind finding a place with a polish mass. i'll bet st. helen's must have a few polish masses for christmas, it being the polish archdiocese of chicago and all.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Now you know.

that Catholics are Creepy?

xp, oh yeah, i loved those dancing ponies when i was little.

i think the most fantastical thing about our masses was chocolate donut holes afterwards. and my lovely violin stylings of course.

When my Indian mentee doesn't understand something, she always says, "Why so?". It's really fucking cute.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

And I don't mean cute in an R. Kelly way, more in a chipmunks and dancing ponies way.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

she always says, "Why so?"

Well, it's depend.

Guys, I don't know what to say. A senior citizens' chorus has performed Sonic Youth's "Schizophrenia."

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Go old people!

TS: apples vs. pears. Go!

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

they also performed a cold play song

― grbchv! (gbx), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

pears.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

An amazing pear at the height of its ripeness trumps all apples, but such a pear is a rare thing indeed. Outside of that ripeness window, pears aren't very satisfying, whereas apples are just fine at least 80% of the time.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

^^^^ correct

― grbchv! (gbx), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:27 (seventeen years ago) link

that seems right. I think it's related to how I feel about pie v. cake, too: the best pie is better than the best cake, but in this fallen world one often gets better cake than pie.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Apples bore me lately. I can't find any good Granny Smiths. I want an apple so tart I won't be able to talk for an hour.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:29 (seventeen years ago) link

That said, I just has one of those amazing, perfect pears that jaymc described, so I choose pears.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

just HAD

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

i would gladly pay a man tuesday for an apple pie today.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

apples might be better than pears in pie. I don't think I've ever had pear pie.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Pear pie sounds like it would be good, though.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link

pear pie would be full of mushy goo. Pear cobbler would be possible, I guess. But really, anytime you cook a pear you end up with something more suitable for spreading on taost than anything else.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

it's a little awkward to say, with the alliteration. but it sounds delicious, yeah.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

spreading on taoists? sounds kinky.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

What's the diff betw a pie and a cobbler?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I'm hungry, guys. mmm, mushy pear goo.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

The tao is the way to all things kinky and pear-flavored.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

baked pears can be good, if they're soaked in booze and drizzled with ganache.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Pie has a top and bottom crust, and you eat it woth a fork. It has shape. Cobbler is fruit compote with something crunchy or doughy baked on top. You eat it with a spoon.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:38 (seventeen years ago) link

cobbler=pie w/o bottom crust, right?

I am going to gain weight this holiday season. Oh yes I am.

omg, you can't post stuff like that unless you can produce it immediately for me to EAT!

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Note to self: buy country apples at farmer's market on Sat and make pies this weekend. Roommates will love me, house will smell amazing, breakfast covered for all next week.

I thought about starting a thread to post pictures of delicious-looking food on, but then I remembered that there are a lot of Britishes about.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

...who would inevitably post things like black pudding and stewed tomatoes?

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

For folks that were at TT last night, the TASTY JEWISH DISH I was thinking of last night is KUGEL.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought kugels were those little personal exercises.

Or whatever the fuck this is.

It is the anti-cobbler.

I love kugel.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I know, I know, hoary, unfair, and unfunny. So sue me.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 19:00 (seventeen years ago) link

No Kenan, that's kegels.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 December 2006 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, right.

I think there are classes for that at the health club upstairs.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

hey, how did the game of f/m/k go? i totally would have gone to tt if i'd woken up at 4:30 instead of 5:30.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 December 2006 19:07 (seventeen years ago) link

We didn't get to play f/m/k, unfortch. But we did talk about some hilarious things from back in school daze... And, just in case you guys thought I was kidding about "Is internet commerce will change our lives" ... I give you this: http://www.awesomecs.com/ospwww/ecommerce/ecom1.jpg
