I'm still not entirely convinced that yogurt itself isn't some, mutated, living thing that we're eating, but it IS delicious depending on what kind you get. I still stand by that Dannon Light & Fit vanilla is the single best yogurt to date.

I made Mum buy yoghurt - I'm on a health streak and I thought a less regrettable snake was in order.

Yay for wild berry flavour :D !

Bleh, yoghurt. Give me ice cream any day of the week...

Man, I agree with you. I love ice cream.

I SCREAM
YOU SCREAM
WE SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM! :D

Favourite flavour?


Palkia June 24th, 2012 5:41 AM

OMG, DCC is talking about ice cream flavors! *scream*

...

My favourite flavour is probably vanilla. It just tastes so nice and isn't as strong as chocolate or Neapolitan.

Cherrim June 24th, 2012 6:26 AM

I actually don't eat a lot of ice cream. I find it a hassle to eat in my own time and I rarely feel like it when I'm out.

My favourite flavour, though, is probably either cookies 'n' cream (with oreo!) or chocolate chip cookie dough. I really like flavours that have a vanilla ice cream base with things added to it. :)

Captain Fabio June 24th, 2012 6:31 AM

:c

That person who can't have ice cream or doesn't like it, hasn't lived. :3


Shining Raichu June 24th, 2012 6:45 AM

Ice cream is best when frozen. This is a true fact brought to you by Shining Raichu.

Captain Fabio June 24th, 2012 6:46 AM

... isn't it just a milkshake if it isn't frozen?


Nihilego June 24th, 2012 6:57 AM

The following post is obligatory.


Nihilego June 24th, 2012 7:03 AM

I think you can probably guess what it is anyway haha.

Mr. X June 24th, 2012 7:32 AM

Milkshakes are better thicker.

I usually just use icecream, milk, and vanilla extract (A capfull). If I have banana's. I'll toss one in too. If I'm using Vanilla icecream, then I'll also add cocoa powder.

Esper June 24th, 2012 7:46 AM

I've got this protein/vitamin powder stuff that mixes in with milk or soy milk that almost comes out like a milkshake. Almost.

At least it's healthier.

Shining Raichu June 24th, 2012 7:48 AM

@Team Fail and MrX, if your milkshake contains real fruit, it is not a milkshake. It is a smoothie. You should learn the difference :P

Esper June 24th, 2012 7:59 AM

I thought smoothies were anything that was like a milkshake that didn't have milk in them.

Ugh. I need a Venn diagram to figure it out.

Milkshakes? Omg, there's this restaurant that makes a butterscotch milkshake and it's so epiiiic.

Same here.

I've always added half a banana to anything milkshake I make, never knew that it made it not a milkshake...

Wait a minute... Does this mean that all the milkshakes I bought at Wendy's were smoothies? Because they always had a cherry on the top.

alisaie June 24th, 2012 9:00 AM

My brother makes smoothies from time to time and I assure you that they do not contain icecream in them. Also some of the shakes at a restaurant here has fruit in their shakes and they are well... definitely shakes. Though I usually have one of their shakes with bits of chocolate in them.

Captain Fabio June 24th, 2012 9:48 AM

I use to make milkshakes back when I was at my parents house, before I moved out. It was just nice to make one and sit back with a amazing milkshake and watch films.

Now I just can't be bothered... and I don't have a blender.


Mr. X June 24th, 2012 10:19 AM

Get one? They are cheap.

Hell, get one at a junk store/yardsale. Even cheaper and they (usually) still work.

The blinder I have is about ~20 years old, still works fine.

Cherrim June 24th, 2012 10:20 AM

GUYS I bought some of those yogourt cups with the granola included after the discussion in here last night. :3 Can't wait to try it!

As for milkshakes... I don't remember how to make them so I never do. I'm not a huge fan of them to begin with, though, so I don't mind too much. I usually find them too sweet. They are kind of the best drink to have with waffles, though. omg. *u*

Taemin June 24th, 2012 10:21 AM

I've always wanted to make my own smoothies or milkshakes, and when I was younger my grandpa had a smoothie maker, but we just kind of let it sit there. Believe it was sold before we moved this last time. - w -

Nowdays I'd like one, kind of like how I wish we'd kept our piano.. XD

Edit: Erica, good luck with dem yogurt cups!

Fries are my backup plan whenever there aren't any useful ingredients in the house. Fries + Ketchup equates completion.

Boardwalk fries are better than any homemade fries that can ever be made. They're amazing omg.

Yes they are omg. They have a boardwalk in New Orleans, which is only 45 minutes away, but we barely ever go to it. They have the coolest little shops there, too! They even have a fudge shop! <3

They still don't compare to boardwalk fries, though.

Yeah the boardwalk here is massive, it has a few different fry places, tons of ice cream, fudge, all those boardwalk shops with sundresses and hermit crabs and stuff, a music pier, an amusement park...ocean city is great :3

I live in Louisiana. Everything here sucks except the food. xD

droomph June 24th, 2012 2:30 PM

Yes, especially with the hurricanes.

I heard that jazz came from Louisiana (or that part of the country)! How do you like that?

Jazz came from us, oui. c:
But yeah hurricanes suck, and it's hurricane season. xD

I'm not huge on jazz, but I'll listen to it if it's really good.

alisaie June 24th, 2012 4:45 PM

I personally like Hurricanes! ..... Except when they keep me from being able to do my job. Or rather it's not really the current tropical storm that's keeping me from doing it but my mother buh. It's hard trying to please both your manager and your mother at the same time.

droomph June 24th, 2012 4:53 PM

I've never been in a hurricane myself but the idea of it sounds cool and stuff. Except for the "tearing the roof of your house off and drowning" part, but I just like some good "pitter patter" on my window...it's so relaxing.

Ephemeral Euphoria June 24th, 2012 4:54 PM

Rainy seasons during the summer are to die for man, I'd literally be singing in the rain in pure joy for the hell of it.

droomph June 24th, 2012 5:00 PM

Nah...winter here in California is better because you get rain, but you're not sweating your ass off...

Also, on a related note, I hate Idaho summers. Soooo hot...

Mr. X June 24th, 2012 5:01 PM

Lovely day.

Temps are a little over a hundred, all the plants are starting to die...

Oh, and my AC died earlier.

I'd go jump in the pond and take a swim, but I've seen snapping turtles in there. And snakes. And I don't want them to mistake my figurative bait and tackle for real bait and tackle.

Pitter patter? No. It sounds like someone just has a constant fire house blasting against the windows of your home. xD

hurricanes are neat, but are nothing to take for granted.

Florida residents!
Be safe and whatnot! Hurricane Debbie is sitting right below Florida. literally just sitting for now, and they believe it to shift course from Louisiana to straight up into Florida. So lock your doors, bring in all of the animals, and board everything up!

droomph June 24th, 2012 5:03 PM

Ooh good luck. That isn't good is it. And it's just gonna get hotter...

I hope you get it fixed soon, I would have just drowned myself in a bathtub with my sweat if that happened.

Thank god the Summer solstice is over. Gawd, the sun set at 9:30 for the whole time I was in Canada. How annoying.

Winter's severely overrated if you ask me even in Cali, it's not to bad downtown in areas like Redlands though but it can get pretty chilly sometimes, the San Bernardino Mountains on the other hand are the last place you want to be in Cali by the time snow hits though that's for sure, having to deal with the black ice on the road along with random snowstorms can be hell man.

droomph June 24th, 2012 5:09 PM

Well, San Francisco area (I live in Pleasanton) is fine for me. I love the rain...I dun know if I like snow though.

But yeah, sometimes it gets crazy, like blow down a tree that was probs gonna die anyways and cause so much hysteria in that damn middle school.

Shining Raichu June 24th, 2012 5:20 PM

They always name hurricanes the most boring stuff. For instance in Australia we had "Cyclone Tracey".

Why not things like Rasputin, Hitler, Voldemort? Things that already strike fear into the hearts of everybody. Why ruin perfectly good names by making them synonymous with hurricanes?

Jellicent♀ June 24th, 2012 5:21 PM

It's cold here in the winter, too. Very rainy. so then it's wet, and cold, and muggy. ;;
Of course, 32 degrees F may not be cold to some, but it's freezing to me. ;;

Ephemeral Euphoria June 24th, 2012 5:25 PM

Great now I'm convinced Hurricane Voldemort is gonna tear Cali apart by the end of 2012. Time to prepare my underground bunker, gotta find my copies of Catherine and Halo Reach to keep me occupied though.

Because Hurricane Andrew makes people underestimate their power. That's why.

Well, because I'm not sure anyone will live in the country that Hurricane Hitler goes through. Besides it's Heidler.

I was born literally a week after Andrew hit Louisiana. My mamma calls me a hurricane baby. c:

Now, am I the only one who thinks of Lord Moldy Butt (from the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy's Harry Potter parody) when he hears "Lord Voldemort"?
So now all I can see is Hurricane Moldy Butt. :c

droomph June 24th, 2012 5:58 PM

I get sleepy when I hear the words "Voldemort" and "Harry Potter". So no, no "moldy butt" for me, but rather "Hurricane zzz".

Livewire June 24th, 2012 6:18 PM

HURRICANE VOLDEMORT sounds pretty scary, haha.

Mr. X June 24th, 2012 6:28 PM

droomph June 24th, 2012 6:29 PM

Idk why they call it that, but w/e. It's an odd system. :x

But yeah, they name every hurricane something...odd. xD

droomph June 24th, 2012 6:39 PM

@Toujours Yeah, but all of them are like "Andrew" and "Ian" and "Tracey" and "Ash" and "Misty" and where am I going with this

Anyways, I honestly think the Meteorological Society should just choose a fitting name after the actual hurricane for record-keeping purposes - if it's killed millions of Jewish people, name it Hurricane Hitler. If it's well planned out and nobody gets hurt but a couple people almost die, call it Hurricane Voldemort. Stuff like that.

@Jellicent Yeah, I was going for Category 5... :\

No, no no no, that would be horrible. Funny though it may be, I think people may be a little...ticked by that.
Why not call it something like Death Clock?

droomph June 24th, 2012 6:46 PM

I don't mean do that, I just mean, be a little more creative with the names.

By the way, what's Death Clock?

Ephemeral Euphoria June 24th, 2012 6:46 PM

Dunno why but now I have the name Hurricane Cartman stuck in my head, maybe I've been watching too much South Park nowadays.

C isn't a number, lmao. We can remember numbers like 9/11 and such, we could remember "Hurricane 125" if it was a big deal. XD

Yeah, but knowing how organized the scientific community is, they'll make numbers that look like they came from a license plate.

Would have been awkward to run into her there.

alisaie June 24th, 2012 8:20 PM

Can you imagine what number hurricane we would be on if we did it by numbers. I'm all right with the system that they have (they go with the same names every several years unless it's a major hurricane. Thus we'll never have another Katrina or Andrew etc etc) since it's simple. But it seems I'm one of the few who thinks this aha.

Livewire June 24th, 2012 8:27 PM

If it were done by numbers I'd be way too confused. Like, WAY. That'd be cray-cray. Names are easier, but it's still funny to see them named and whatnot.

droomph June 24th, 2012 8:37 PM

Well, it's nice to see another name ruined by tragedy.

I think what we should do is we should put safety procedures in the name. Like "Hurricane gurrrrl ya gonna have to board up your walls!" or "Hurricane just ride it out honey, nothing bad's gonna happen."

Or a more viable solution - yeah the names are a good plan. That's why that plan has stuck for the past hundred years. So we should just stick to it like we have, and just come up with some different names (you know, not from the top 10 list)

Oh god we're talking about the weather again

alisaie June 24th, 2012 8:40 PM

What they need to do is make a new cycle of names instead of going around the same few sets over and over again. The only time they make a new name is when a hurricane keeps its name for ever and ever.

Well... least we're talking about a specific type of weather and not the usual 'it's currently ______ in my area'

droomph June 24th, 2012 8:44 PM

It's currently dark in my area

Yeah, I guess they should. But then again - they're scientists, not artists...no creative skills there, except for the ones who love music and movies. Well...maybe, but who has the time to create new names?

I know, they should have multicultural names. Like who wouldn't want to be showered on by Hurricane Shaniequah?

CarefulWetPaint June 24th, 2012 10:13 PM

I always thought that the names were submitted by people and got chosen at random, am I wrong?

I don't see how it's patronising lol - though personally I do prefer the term "Wapanese" XDDD

Nah. They have a set of names for each year, and they cycle through the same names (unless one is a Major Hurricane like Katrina or Andrew) every six years. This is the list for this year:
Spoiler:
Alberto
Beryl
Chris
Debby
Ernesto
Florence
Gordon
Helene
Isaac
Joyce
Kirk
Leslie
Michael
Nadine
Oscar
Patty
Rafael
Sandy
Tony
Valerie
William


As for being called a weeaboo a lot of people don't like to be called that. So I suppose it can be a bit patronizing.

"Wapanese" sounds like something off a video game.


@Peaches: So wait, the next hurricane that can potentially hit Louisiana is going to be named Ernesto?
That's a little anticlimactic if you ask me.

I always assumed weeaboo was meant as an insult... That's what Urban Dictionary told me, at least.

I never really use this to describe people - and I can't say that I've met many people who fall within this description - but if I did, it would probably be to insult them! :P

Yup. And if not Ernesto then there's Florence you might have to worry about in the future. Over here as well since I live in Florida.

Hrmm... Yeah. I think there's a difference between those who are actually learning the language, planning on moving, and gaining a career from it to those who just... obsess over it to no end with no plans on it being of much help to their future. But that's just my two cents.

alisaie June 25th, 2012 7:37 AM

Pfft. That makes more sense now.

Well... be sure to give him props for trying in the future or something.

It does annoy me a little when people use that language for no reason, but meh. I guess some people just want to express their new 'thing'.


Overlord Drakow June 25th, 2012 9:14 AM

Hurricane Drakow gonna wreck you all!

Oryx June 25th, 2012 9:25 AM

I have friends who are planning to honeymoon in Japan, lol. I wish I had learned the language when I had a chance though, it would've been nice to be able to help with translating anime/manga and such, and not have to wait for others to translate.
