This, to me, is the winner by far. The smell of uncooked chicken has got to be one of the most vile odors I have ever whiffed.
The ice cream thing isn’t odd, though. Aren’t you essentially just turning it into soft-serve? I always do that by stirring vigorously. Easier to do with the non-dairy stuff that I eat.
I didn’t think Star Trek: Nemesis was such a bad movie.
Edit: okay, I admit that there is probably someone else on this board who agrees with me. But I’ve never met anyone who thought it was something other than shit.
I would be happy to teach it to you. The tune is basically “Twist and Shout” except for the chorus, which follows, pretty much, the Aaaaaaa bit in the middle of T&S. You go “Baaaaaa…Naaaaaa…Naaaaa…SLUG!” You may clap three times between each syllable there, you know–1-2,3. You must also do the little echoey thing at the end of each line but I’m only going to type that in for the first verse.
You know I love my baby (love my baby),
Love the way that she hugs (way that she hugs).
Some people don’t understand it (don’t understand),
She’s a banana slug (banana slug).
Ba-Na-Na Slug!
She’s only got one foot,
Ain’t got no toes.
She hangs out in the forest now,
Helps to decompose.
Some people think that she’s gross,
But I don’t hear that jive.
If it weren’t for my baby now,
The forest might not survive.
Ba-Na-Na Slug!
The way you wiggle your antennae,
You know you give me such bliss.
Come on, come on, come on Banana Slug,
Oh won’t you give me a kiss?
Ba-Na-Na Slug!
The way you slide through the forest,
You know you look so fine.
Come on, come on, come on Banana Slug,
Let me follow your slime!
Ba-Na-Na Slug!
And then at the end you must go:
Baaa-nana slug, BA NANANANANANA
Baaa-nana slug, BA NANANANANANA
Baaa-nana slug, BA NANANANANANA YEAH!
Enjoy. I am glad to finally be able to share the joy of the Banana Slug Song with someone who appreciates it.
I have NEVER understood the love for bacon. It tastes all right, but it’s too little meat per serving. I refuse to buy it in restaurants when I can clog my arteries with far more sausage for the same price.
I think I’m the only person hereabouts who loves Valerie Martin and Mary Gaitskill.
When I was a kid we used to get chicken from a farmer who came around with a truck full of live chickens. My mother would go out and pick a chicken (though they all looked the same to me). The farmer then killed it and plucked the feathers. My job (and I loved it) was to clean out the insides of the chicken, while it was still warm. I had to save the giblets and eggs for soup, along with the feet.
And I always soften ice cream in the microwave.
That’s my favorite snack or quick meal . . . but it’s gotta be a “condensed” soup . . . really chunky, with no liquid. Lately, I’ve been downing a lot of clam chowder.
I love all of my own body odors, and my partner’s too. The muskier the better.
So I’m still the only one who likes operettas, right?
I’m cheating (thanks to a poll I took in IMHO awhile back), but I’ll bet nobody else loves to be tickled like I do (hey, it’s fun, exhilarating, and a bonding experience too!). I wish my dad could come back from the dead just to tickle me once last time (okay, yes, that doesn’t really sound quite right, but I’ll leave it unedited :p).
I enjoyed Reeves’s work in a The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, so you are clearly not unique. Admittedly, having the board’s resident nutjob on your side may not be all that comforting.
