Jokes that don't work well in writing ( Nor in any other way, really. From real life)
Have you heard of Greenpeace? Yes, I have them in my salad all the time.
Ok, that didn't go well. Tell us about your favorite rapper. Favorite wrapper? I don't really look at them, I will just, for example, open the candy bar and eat it.

The first step towards good music is to throw away the rapper.WWGD said:Strange attractors? The songs I hear played by youtube always converge on a path of songs I don't like, no matter where I start.

Problem is: Since I saw that the Scottish fry Mars bars on television, I can't stop thinking about them whenever it comes to products of that company. I'm haunted.

Fried Mars bars? Wattarrrrrrrrrrrrrr! EDIT: While I have not known (of) many Scotts, I have never heard any two speak with a similar accent. I guess they have micro-accent regions of size approaching 1.fresh_42 said:Problem is: Since I saw that the Scottish fry Mars bars on television, I can't stop thinking about them whenever it comes to products of that company.

But to be honest: If I had to choose between a fried Mars bar and a Haggis, the Mars bar would definitely win. Whether those habits are the reason they have some really good Whiskeys?

They have a building architecture style called " Brutalist" ,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture which is a style where mostly buildings used for non-popular functions just do not claim to be anything other than what they are. Like a police building for the state force: no coffee nor gift shops. I mean, what can hey have in a gift shop? A teddy bear that says " You can't do that, I know my rights" every time you press it?

But that's sort of the point. The function is one that is seen as ugly, so the architect makes no effort to hide the ugliness. They just present it for what it is instead.EDIT: At least as I understood the term.fresh_42 said:That's an euphemism for ugly.
