If I had to chose between facial hair and fresh Jersey Sweet Corn I would choose the corn every time. I would eat it every day during the summer if I could. Probably a dozen farm stands within a couple miles from here.
Yes, I’m counting the days until our local fresh corn stand opens. In addition to CotC, I make Anne Burrell’s corn chowder at least once every corn season. I even bought a new tool for stripping kernels of the cobs in anticipation.
I could not choose a chocolate beverage. When it comes to chocolate, I am quite promiscuous.
I hate Bosco!
Bosco’s bad for me.
Mommy puts in my milk
and tries to poison me.
But I fooled mommy.
I put it in her tea.
And now there’s no more mommy
to try and poison me!
Very popular ditty when I was a kid along with Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Burning of the School.
I’ve only ever had Nesquik and Carnation Instant Breakfast, and I’d choose Quik. Never had Ovaltine, but it always seem off-putting to me for some reason.
A glass of varm milk, perhaps?
Who put the benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy’s Ovaltine?
Now, that’s really going back! I remember my first grade class singing the song that parody was based on to Monsignor McLaughlin at our Christmas pageant.
I picked Ovaltine for the “favorite cold chocolate milk mix” poll, but I don’t consider it to be a “chocolate milk mix”. It’s a malt drink powder that happens to have a little cocoa in it, and malt is the overwhelmingly dominant flavour. (So much so that they even make a separate “chocolate” version of Ovaltine with more cocoa.)
My ex-wife, daughter, and I were in a crowd scene for some movie, but I don’t think that counts as an ‘extra’… does it?
I’d say it counts. I was in a crowd in a movie and I always say I was an extra in it.
I did a bunch of Extra work when I lived in San Francisco. I was in an HBO show called Looking, TNT’s Murder in the First, Discovery channel’s I (Almost) Got Away With It, a few commercials, and various low-budget short films and movies.
It was a really fun way to make a little pocket money.
I was specialty technical crew for a movie & was filmed in two scenes; one I didn’t make camera even though that scene did but the other one I did.
Like JohnT I have been in several crowd scenes in movies. I’ve also been in the background to several scenes of TV’s Hunter. They were filming up in the Valley and I happened to be walking down the street at the time.
I did extra work for Patch Adams and a couple of episodes of Dawson’s Creek.
I’ve been in the studio audience for a quiz shiw, and the camera briefly panned over us, but I dont think that counts as an ‘extra’?
I don’t know why so many people have such difficulty drinking ice-filled drinks. Robert Hays would say they have a drinking problem. Teeth are the perfect barrier as long as you’re not trying to chug the whole cup in one go.
My science museum would have a fully operational nuclear reactor with transparent containment walls.
The closest I’ve come to being in a movie was seeing a movie being made. It wasn’t much of a movie. I think by the time it made it to streaming (never released) it was called Reverse the Curse. It came from the book David Duchovny wrote called “Bucky F@cking Dent”. I got to watch Duchovny direct Evan Handler for a minute. I really should track it down. A couple of friends of mine were extras on it.
The poll lacked the option I would’ve chosen “I don’t”, basically when I get one of those (which here only happens in cinemas, restaurants are parsimonious with the ice) I drink all the easily reachable coke with the straw, then open the container to get at the small amount of liquid remaining and get a facefull of ice.
I chew ice.
