Whoa whoa whoa, let’s not buckeye over this. It was a member (and I am \*not \*using the term as in dick) that said it. I just wanted to know if, and especially since another member agreed with said member #1, that it would cause problems in the future. I knew when I first mentioned it that it was not a mod admonishment, official or not. Hence my use of the phrase “member (not a moderator)” in my post bringing this up. ---

Whew, this thread is crazy and hilarious. I didn’t want this to happen, I _like_ Opal, her quirks and all. I just felt an affront and got a little offended and snarked back. No big deal, I never would have pitted her. Ah well, Here’s a video of **Even Sven’s** worms being evacuated from a guy’s face. [The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiHtUFuGgSA&feature=related)… **Motojojo** , I bet your sales rep has a buckeye for good luck. Lots of people carry them as a talisman of sorts, I have three hanging from my mailbox, And my Dad sometimes carried one in his pocket. Apparently the Indians called the nut from the tree “_hetuck_”, which means 'buck eye".

> [@Green\_Bean](#): > > I did find the thread in question, but unfortunately the pictures seem to be deleted. 1. Dang it, those were the only photos mentioned in this thread that I actually wanted to see. 2. In the original thread, it’s my opinion that **devilsknew** and **Opal** were being equally ridiculous, so of course **Diogenes** had to jump in and stir the shit. Christ on a cracker, no one can make a mountain out of a molehill like you guys. 3. Lick my hairy nutsack, you crazy ass bitch is still awesome. ---

I looked for a recipe with rice krispies since I think the extra crunchiness would making it seem more like you’re eating a real eyeball, I understand the lens is kind of crunchy. I’ve only eaten fish eyes (maybe 1.5 cm in diameter) and goats eyes (maybe 3 cm?), and I did not get a crunchy sensation. In both cases, they were very rubbery, kind of like superballs (or, more appropriately, tripe) until I finally bit through them, and then they were kind of chalky. Is there some difference in the way they’re prepared? (This was on a dare, BTW, but I was up against a Vietnamese person, and as a matter of principle, she claimed she’d put anything in her mouth and call it “food”). ---

I’m not a vegetarian and even I’m grossed out by this. Although I always considered myself pretty open-minded towards new culinary experiences, I have to say I draw the line at eyeballs and such. I stand firm in the belief that some things just ought not be considered actual food and should be eaten only in the extreme circumstance of starvation of the potentially fatal variety. ---

A year or two back, Mom got some gummy eyeball candies. From the above description, eating them was EXACTLY like eating a real eyeball. Rubbery, then kind of chalky when they were bitten through. :eek: ---

(which she may or may not possess) If he/she would have thought first before posting - “perhaps I shouldn’t use the term buckeye for this candy just in case **Opal** is a person who is not from Ohio and tends to call things by their original Native American names AND is a vegitarian” - then we wouldn’t have this mess.
