I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but there will be no chat again Sunday.

One of the things we noticed in chat is how much Zz loves to be asked an incomprehensible physics question right after he has just enjoyed a hearty Sunday morning brunch. We mentioned starting an "Ask ZapperZ" segment of chat where new zero post members that had somehow managed to get into chat, but were not capable of finding the Homework forum, would be allowed to ask their questions.

So with that in mind, I am opening the ask ZapperZ thread.

Any physics question must have at least one Disney character involved.

Disclaimer: For your safety, I suggest that all questions be restricted to food and/or Disney.

Evo runs and hides because Zz is going to revoke her Disney pins. :rolleyes:

Other possible chat themes -

Sheep Chat with Moonbear

Cat Chat with Math Is Hard

Shower Chat with Doc Al

Emergency Room Chat with Evo

Worms in your Food Chat with Christina

Roti Chat with George Jones

Wine Chat with Andre

Garden Chat with Turbo-1

Racing Chat with Kurdt

Please feel free to add your themed chat room suggestions.

All right, I will ask Zz the first question.

Is there an offical food of Disney World?
 
I'm voting for Shower Chat with Doc Al. That sounds interesting. :rolleyes: :blushing:

No chili-chat? Astronuc (who started the massive "how does your garden grow?" thread) and I could probably share duties on a combined gardening-chili chat.

Here's my question for Zz: Do you think there's any market for an egg poacher that makes Mickey Mouse shaped poached eggs?

No, you can't trust them. They claim to eat biscuits, but have never actually seen or tasted one. Can't trust them as far as you can throw them.

Correct use of English and what a biscuit actually is chat with cristo. *hides*

I challenge turbo to a chili throwdown. I make awesome chili! I'm from Texas, home of the Chili Cook Off in Terlingua, Texas. He's from Maine. Pffft.

You are already out of the running, lady! I make chili with habanero, jalapeno, and cayenne chilies, along with some Hungarian wax peppers. You can cite regional variations to claim superiority, but when the judges (actual consumers) get a taste of the product (maybe with some nice pastry biscuits to dip up the sauce), you'll be toast!

But do you use beans?

The use of beans in chili is illegal in the state of Texas.

And turbo, hot does not a winner make. :mad:

lisab said:

Of course I use beans! The name "chili con carne" means "chili with meat" and people who could not afford meat did not get that option. Chili is properly made with beans. Texans may disagree, but they are wrong about a lot of stuff.

Turbo is dead wrong on this one. :devil:

As in most cases of prejudice, it all comes from pure, simple ignorance. Here in the chili belt, we talk in shorthand sometimes. When we say chili, we really mean chile con carne, which means, literally, chile peppers with meat. Chili with beans would be Chile con carne y frijoles. Border Spanish also has a hand in the prejudices.

The first known instance of "chili" in the US was from San Antonio's "Chili Queens". There are no beans in chili. There are only chile flavored beans. HAH! You do not make real chili!

I think turbo will agree with this article.

I can't get into the whole thing. I have made chili many times without any meat (often couldn't afford it at the time), but could afford black beans, kidney beans, or others. Whenever I could afford meat during that time, I would include it, but would not exclude beans. By the way, "Chili seasoning" is overpriced crap, IMO. Learn to season your own chili dishes and save some $$ in the process.

I once read a comic strip where the characters wondered about their nationality. After a bit of thought, one shouted out "COLOUR!", and they checked the spelling in the text bubble, thus determining they weren't American.

OH YEAH! Now we're talking. Chili needs beans - pinto beans are best!

Did you read the article? It's short and humorous, you'd like it.

Ask cristo? That would be fun, you definitely know your grammar.

I recently read a post by someone in another forum that was pretending to be American but used British spelling. :devil:
