Sorry, i’m english, but what the hell is a cornchip ? And if your farts smell like brocoli, and sunshines feet smell like brocoli, does than mean her feet smell like farts ? ---

i’m not such a stinky guy these days, but when i was suffering the horrible process called puberty i would sometimes smell like roast beef drippings and my feet would smell like cheese or vinegar. maybe i should have opened a hof brau. and as for what a cornchip is, english chips = american french fries. (what do the french call them?) american chips = small thin crunchy deep fried thingies, usually made with potato flour. corn chips are thick and salty, but tortilla chips, which are also made from corn, are thinner and not as salty. and then there’s Pringles, which seem to be made of sawdust. hungry yet? grab a slab of roast beef, a bag of corn chips, some cheese dip, a can of beer, and watch the football game. (that’s wimpy rugby to you Tubbz.) ---

What the hell are you sicko’s doing? Going around sniffing cornchips? There is something wrong with you people. Cornchips are not for smelling. You have all been very, very bad. ---

Black Hole has a cat named Cornchip. Doesn’t have anything to do with feet though. Should I be concerned that the person who starts all these crazy threads also once asked me to marry him? Michi ---

The only reason I start these crazy threads is that I lost my mentality when you refused my proposal and literally went insane knowing that I would never have you… _sigh_ …you could still fix that however. 😉 ---

LOL! Actually, I don’t like them (cornchips). I have never noticed that my feet smell like them, nor do I think that my cats’ feet smell like them. But Whammo might take back his marriage proposal if he ever saw THOSE pics of me. I am surprised they didn’t kill you, DRY, or make your eyes bleed or something. 😉 ---

MY Cornchip (the cat) has taken up the lovely habit of firing projectile hairballs around the apartment lately. I witnessed her cough up no less than three the other day. Quite an amazing sight, actually. ---

The right one smells like a fresh-out-of-the-oven pizza, as it should. But the left one. Sniff, sniff…it smells like…no, it can not be…cockroach? What the hell? > Damn it, I just stepped on a damn roach. Shit! Now I gotta go wash up. Oh well… > \*\* Hey Quasar. The US FDA standard for bug parts in cornmeal is “1 or more whole insects (or equivalent) per 50 grams”, and the standard for pizza sauce is “2 or more maggots per 100 grams”, so either way, be it corn chips or pizza, you are still quite edible and federally certifiable. * * * Thanks to mblackwell on the [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=50127](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=50127) thread for the link to the US FDA standards at [http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/dalbook.html](http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/dalbook.html) * * * ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Cyndar \* > \*\*Aw heck, you can post a link or send a file…🙂 \*\* You know, Michi, I was going to. And then I thought, Christmas season or no, why the hell should I help someone else? For one thing, **I** had to whine, beg, plead, and generally grovel for those pics: “You taught me first to beg; and now methinks You teach me how a beggar should be answer’d.” –The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, Scene i Anyway, interested parties can search for themselves–how am I ever going to get you to marry me if I **encourage** potential competitors? 😕 Besides, I can’t very well encourage the proliferation of pornography. The full frontal pose, while extremely arousing, was in questionable taste. And the less said about the orgy picture, the better (I mean, **really**!) ---

If this is what Hijacks are… SOMEONE TAKE ME HOSTAGE!! After viewing those pics I am STILL rolling my tounge up… I’m just tired of it dragging the ground! I don’t know how I’m going to get my dropped jaw closed though.
