Hahahaha. For some reason, I find the fact that Spoz registered extremely hilarious. 
Of course, I’m glad he read the thread and all. I didn’t even tell him about registering or anything like that. Time to start a “welcome thread.”
My first convert over to the dark side… mwahahahaha…

Welcome, Spoz.[ul]We accept you, we accept you,
One of us! One of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble
One of us! One of us![/ul]
F_X, p’raps I’ll check Dragon Ball the next time I’m on my way back from my mum’s in Richmond-- it’s more-or-less on the way. I love taro, but I can see that it’s somehow wrong for a bevvie. (Well, not as wrong as Jeera Sip– [iMmmmmmmm*… Cumin, salt, and water. :eek:)
The Dragon Ball place isn’t anime-themed, by any chance? Or just a coincidence?
:o
G’Day Spoz, cobber.
Flam, thanks for answering that vital question which, up until yesterday, I didn’t even know I had to ask. I’m now fully clued up on bubble tea, but not sure I’m ever going to try it.
When you say it’s an Asian thing, it sounds to me like the sort of thing which’d be popular in Japan or Korea. I’ve never seen it in Sydney, and we have an Asian component of our population well into double percentage figures. I don’t remember seeing it in Hong Kong either. **Kayeby’s post in that other thread seems to indicate they have these places in Melbourne, so they must be around.
I am stunned that so many people don’t like tapioca. My mother used to make it when I was a child, and fresh, hot tapioca pudding is as normal a part of my comfort food repertoire as macaroni and cheese. It’s soft, sweet, and inoffensive… for Pete’s sake, what’s not to love?
**[Larry/b], Dragon Ball Tea House is not anime-themed. I’d say it was just a coincidence. There are a lot of clocks on the wall, but no anime that I can see.
Perhaps I should also mention that the bubble tea tapioca pearls are black, and not white. (for those of you who haven’t had it before)

Whoops, wrong thread. I was just looking for a stray goat that’s wandering around.
Damn coding. Res, you aren’t going to find the goat here, I’m afraid.
F_X
Hey Res, can I get your goat?
Since he’s sleeping, I’ll answer for him: I don’t think you can. That goat is mine, I tell you! (well, Res has it for now) We’re working on something, though.

It’s nonsense of course. Perhaps the person isn’t old enough; but tapioca puddings were a staple of our existence in Australia in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Having said that, my extremely worldly daughters would think I was insane if I mentioned tapioca to them.
Well, Cicero, how old are your daughters? Could depend on his age, but then again, Spoz is only 25, so that may have something to do with it.
