> [@Malthus](#): > > What mod? 😕 Oh! When I read that link from Shellibean, I thought for sure that was a mod! Whoa. So ok. No mod has put the brakes on our new memes and we get to keep them? 1. I am glad to hear that. 2. Harmonious Discord sounded so much like a mod to me, I have to ask, did he used to be a mod? 3. Lick my hairy nutsack you crazy ass bitch P.S. I deleted those handbag pics from my flickr. Never dreamed you crazy folks would be asking to see them a year later. ---

> [@groo](#): > > 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’ve never actually eaten eyeballs either, just going by dissecting them in anatomy. They probably are more rubbery or gristly than crunchy, I was just trying to be gross but I guess nothing can compete with lotus boob in grossness. I would imagine that eyeballs would kind of pop when you bite into them, like a larger version of fish eggs. So the buckeye confection wouldn’t really be like biting into an eyeball at all. ---

The ones I ate didn’t burst caviar-style. The cooking process coagulated everything much the same way, I guess, an egg solidifies in cooking as the proteins denature. ---

This is the first thread over 5 pages I have ever read all of the pages. It is the bestest. > [@featherlou](#): > > Got that right! We’re The Fighting Ignorants! There was a bit of a protest a few year back where an American Indian group was upset over mascots and names of sport teams like “The Fightin Reds” etc. So to try to get back at those who used stereotypes of Native Americans a schools team changed their name to “The Fightin whites” and sold shirts and the shirts became so popular they put them up for sale on the internet and I bought several. Link to wiki. > **[Fighting Whites](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_Whites)** > > The Fighting Whites (alternatively identified as Fightin' Whites, Fighting Whities, or Fightin' Whities) were an intramural basketball team formed at the University of Northern Colorado in 2002 and named in response to the Native American mascot controversy. > The intramural college team briefly attracted a storm of national attention because of its satirical protest about stereotypes of Native Americans being used as sports mascots, particularly the "Fightin' Reds" of Eaton High School in Eaton, ... Link to page to buy said shirts. [http://www.cafepress.com/fightinwhite](http://www.cafepress.com/fightinwhite) I say all that to say this. Seriously someone should make “The Fighting Ignorants” t-shirts beacuse I would seriously buy several of those. ---
