I didn't know there was a choice of fish or cereal.

I did get a nice welcome from Evo when I stumbled into GD. :smile:

Don't complain. They got the ones with the optional rear-window defroster, so you can keep your hands warm while you push it around all winter.

The heat got to the fish, so I decided to do what the Romans did...

Garum (Roman sun rotted fish sauce)

Use fatty fish, for example, sardines, and a well-sealed (pitched) container with a 26-35 quart capacity. Add dried, aromatic herbs possessing a strong flavor, such as dill, coriander, fennel, celery, mint, oregano, and others, making a layer on the bottom of the container; then put down a layer of fish (if small, leave them whole, if large, use pieces) and over this, add a layer of salt two fingers high. Repeat these layers until the container is filled. Let it rest for seven days in the sun. Then mix the sauce daily for 20 days. After that, it becomes a liquid.

- Gargilius Martialis, De medicina et de virtute herbarum, reprinted from A Taste of Ancient Rome
At least now we have the definitive reason for the fall of the Empire.

That's why I value GD - for these little tidbits of World History unavailable elsewhere on the planet. :rolleyes:

Er - what planet are we on again? I need to update my HH Guide. :biggrin:

You tell me; you're the one with 'Astro' in his name. I can barely read a normal map, never mind star charts.

I'm sure I know the answer, but I was looking for independent confirmation. I was reflecting upon Wolram's comment - "We are dealing with an alternate reality here Astro . . . ". Maybe it's just the vapors from the Garum someone put in the visitor's tent.

Finally! Excuse me while I eat.:smile:

You guys should offer chocolate: the universal food currency, you can have white, dark or milk. It's very multicutlural, God bless the South Americans :smile:

I'll have milk obviously, and Cadburys if you've got it, minus the salmonella of course:wink:

We're not giving away the chocolate! It's taken us months of threatening bans to extort that much...erm...I mean, the membership has been so generous in sending us chocolate gifts that we wouldn't want to insult them by re-gifting it. :biggrin:

The new official song of PF. I've loved this song since it came out. Yes, it will stick in your mind and you will all hate me.

(warning - the video is weird) but the tune and lyrics are great. :biggrin:

The video "[MEDIA=youtube[/URL]

(you can fast forward to 02:06 to where it really starts)

I took a Fish head
Out to see a movie
Didn't have to pay
To get it in

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads

They can't play baseball
They don't wear sweaters
They're not good dancers
They don't play drums

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads
Fish heads, Fish heads
Eat them up, Yummm

Rolly polly Fish heads
Are never seen drinking
Cappacino in Italian restaurants
With Oriental women...Yeah
