"Umm 'scuze me, but we's used to eatin' stake and lobstar. Kin we have that, pwease?"

I stand corrected. The OP returned and confirmed, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that he’s an idiot more than a troll.

Yeah, because only spoiled rich kids would occasionally eat at chi chi restaurants like Red Lobster or Long John Silver’s, or watch SpongeBob SquarePants, or go with their parents to the supermarket and see a tank full of lobsters. I’ve never eaten lobster, but I loved watching the things when I was that age.

And steak? Come on. Little kids eating foie gras regularly might be spoiled, but a five-year-old who is given a bite of what’s on dad’s plate isn’t.

Christmas comes early - for the world!

You don’t like vagina lieu?

As for the rest of it, my parents were public school teachers (therefore, nowhere in the same continental land mass as “wealthy”) and I certainly knew what steak and lobster were by the time I hit school. I knew I liked steak, and I’d never had lobster. This was less because lobster was expensive, and more because I grew up in rural Alaska, and lobster was totally unavailable (although I did develop a deep and abiding love of king crab).

Does VCO3 not think kids watch TV? Or go to the grocery store (where both steak and lobster are generally on display, at least in most grocery stores in the continental US - Hell, sometimes I suspect the ginormous lobster tanks are as much for child entertainment purposes as sales tool. Lord knows there’s generally a few small children clustered around the one in my grocery store engrossed in watching the lobsters)? Or watch movies? Kids are part of popular culture, too - maybe the biggest part.

If he wants to save some money, I’d be happy to do the job with a stake.

Is it okay for a second-grader to know what lobster is if hir dad is a lobster fisherman and that’s what they can afford?

Way back in the day, turkey used to be poor-people food too.

I guess about 15 of us have said this now, but VCO3 has made one of those classic idiot mistakes: assuming everyone else is as dumb as he is.

I understand that schools are now replacing faux grass and returning to natural grass as the fake stuff was linked to increased injuries at the play yard.

Astro-Smurf…?

Rut-roh…

Cubed.

Appropriate for a block head.

I thought we were against ignorance here…

Japan, particularly Shizuoka. It was paired with a garlic-soy sauce and it was soooooo scrumptious. Like I said before, a mixture of beef and tuna. I had it at a friend’s house, and I remember purchasing it at the supermarket. Mm… now I’m hungry…

It stands for “voltage controlled oscillator 3.” On an analogue synthesizer, the sounds are generated by any number of VCOs, that create various waveforms (sine, square, saw, etc). The voltage into the oscillator determines the pitch.

A synth with 3 VCOs is pretty beefy.

If the kids are wedding guests, is it OK for them to expect stake and lobster, if that’s what they’re used to?

What if the kids were born in Maine, on a cattle ranch? Then are they allowed to know about steak and lobster?

What about if they were born in Texas, on a lobster ranch?

[inevitable]What if they were born in Nevada, at the Chicken Ranch?

What if they were lightly braised, and served with ranch dip?
