They also call mint chocolate chip ice cream “peppermint bon bon”. It’s even labeled that on the cartons in their grocery stores. ---

> [@kambuckta](#): > > offered to tell those of us who aren’t American know what a ‘hotdish’ was. It’s in the Cafe Society thread. A lot of Americans don’t know either. Post #16 gives a definition: > Hotdish is an anything goes one-dish meal from the Upper Midwest, but it’s especially beloved in Minnesota and North Dakota. A creamy sauce binds three essential hotdish components together: starch, protein, and vegetable. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > It’s a pretty strange thing to say and be so adamant about, especially when _based on absolutely no evidence_. Just popping in to agree with this. Saying “Walz doesn’t look like someone who cooks hotdish” is weird, because it suggests there is a “look” for someone like that (and also because it’s about as basic a recipe you can get). Doubling down and grossly inflating right-wing claims about Walz’s “elaboration” just to defend that weird opinion is what dragged it into pitworthy territory. In general I don’t think poorly of Becks but this whole thing started out as mildly stupid and escalated entirely due to her intransigence. ---

Rather than let her continue the LOOKATME in the “What are you thinking?” thread, I figured I’d bump this one, with another ill-advised scratch at the chiggerbite. > [@What were you THINKING?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-were-you-thinking/991532/3404): > > Predictable #3…✓ Oh, sure, no question.

You can tell when people are desperate for _any_ kind of attention when they try to drum up responses in their own Pit thread. ---

I’m going out on a limb here and I’m pittting the pitting of Beck. Yes, the board was getting flooded with “bad, bad, bad” threads, but you know what? I miss her. She’s funny and interesting and has a lot of stories that I loved reading. Does she post too much? Is she lonely? So what. I want her back and I wish her well. ---

Well, she hasn’t posted in the last 10 hours, that’s practically an eternity in Beck-time. ---
