Nope, times two. Mr. singular and I like it too. Also, take that pasta and fry it in the butter - the crispy bits are to die for. If you wanna get fancy, dice some bacon and crisp it first, but just the fried noodles are heaven.

mmmmmmmmmmmm heart attack. Must try it.

I might be the only person here who likes both things Panurge likes! Dhrupad and Einstürzende Neubauten.

Dhrupad scares me on some base level though.

Yay! We’re special!

My thesis was about dhrupad - truly an amazing, profound, and beautiful form of music. It is a highly advanced art form and the level of knowledge and skill required of the performers is absolutely mindblowing. Some of these people were trained for 8-10 hours a day between the ages of 5 and 30 before their masters thought them good enough to perform in public. It fascinates me beyond words.

I bet I’m the only person who enjoys eating Skittles with coffee.

There is a method:

1. Take two or three Skittles (any color) and place in mouth
2. Chew just a little bit to release the juices and flavor
3. Take swig of coffee w/cream

Sounds nasty but I actually quite like it.

However, I bet I’m the only person on this board who even knows who Gackt is.
Other favorites from Gackt:

Vanilla
Redemption

Asian-Canadian here. You’ll have to do better than that.

I bet I’m the only person here who has ‘Haruhii-ism’ as their religion on Facebook, or otherwise identify as a Haruhiist.

Ultimate Big Brother, currently showing on Channel 4 (UK).

There is absolutely no point in starting a thread about a lowbrow/trashy British show on this board. At least with the US equivalents, the sheer number of Americans here will guarantee at least some interest.

I bet I’m the only person on here who listens to ABBA song every day.

I seem to remember us crossing paths before because of shared interests along these lines actually! You’d know what my username means, I’m sure.

Reading about dhrupad makes me want to go school to be an ethnomusicologist, but only study Indian classical music. But then I remember that even Western music theory is over my head and too mathy for me. And that I need to eat. Is your thesis available anywhere? I’m sure I won’t begin to understand it but it’s hard to find much about it online.

Some of the Senior Dagar stuff I’ve heard is vaguely unsettling in a “calling forth ancient powers” sort of way–I’m half afraid the alap is calling forth Cthulu or something! (Okay not really. But sort of.)

I want to run away and learn to play the rudra veena too, but that’s another story.

I like (or at least don’t hate) Vanilla Wafers with yellow mustard.

The wafers look like little hamburger buns, and when I was a kid I’d put mustard between two of them to create a little pretend burger.

Edible, although I haven’t eaten one in a couple decades.
