> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CanadianSue \* > \*\*No, I think I distinctly remember you bragging about one in 1992. \*\* I think you’re thinking of the time I had a Peanut Buster Parfait. Come to think of it, the last banana split I had, I had them put carmel topping on it instead of pineapple. I don’t like pineapple. The other two toppings (strawberry and hot fudge) are fine with me, but not pineapple. So, given that I deviated from the norm of hot fudge, strawberry and pineapple, and instead substituted carmel for pineapple, does it still qualify as a banana split, or should it more correctly be called a triple sundae with two bananas halves on the side? ---

Well, this is a post about nothing, and I have never posted because I didn’t think I had anything to say… But here? I feel strangely at home. It so low pressure, not actually having to add anything of substance. :: steps over that pile of people at the entrance… has anyone checked on them lately? :: and, I’ll have a margarita. 🙂 ---

Hey, sorry I haven’t been around. I’ve been irresponsible. **Flamsterette\_X** , I’m ashamed to admit you may have me stumped. I know the Napoleon, but I haven’t heard of a Napoleon Brandy. Maybe it’s a nomenclature thing – is your drink made with Gin, Curacao, and Dubonnet? If so, here ya go. If not, hey, try this! It’s called a Napoleon. **galen ubal** , I gotcher Irish Coffee right here. Did you want that black, or with cream? Whipped cream on top or no? And a manhattan for **GrandfatherTrout**. Classy drink. Anyone else? The bar will be serving pretty consistently for the next several hours. Don’t be shy! ---

Hmm, **Yo La Tengo** , we don’t really have that here… sodas are only used as mixers, and we don’t serve mixers straight. Tell ya what, why don’t I make you a virgin Rum and Dew, and we’ll see how you like that. Was that rocks, or neat? With a twist or without? Here’s a little umbrella for your drink so it looks a bit snazzier. **Flamsterette\_X** , we aim to please! ---

Heh, thanks. I don’t think building a bigger one is possible, though. I literally ran out of pieces on the first one. I even had to borrow some odd number of a specific piece from my friend (he also helped me build it). Our next plans are to build an amusement park over the summer. Should prove interesting. Our first (large) project was The Empire State Building, or at least something that looked remotely like it. We had it up for the longest time, until my mom ordered us to take it down. So I tied a body pillow to my (same) friend, and he body flopped it. I wish I video taped it… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-nothing-post/106193.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-nothing-post/106193.md?page=4)
