With this and the “fucking racist children” comment over in GD, you have given me my two biggest laughs today. Thank you.
VC03, what kid Dosn’t know what a steak or a lobster is. They were trying to think of the fanciest food they could. Apparently some of them were tryed to be smartasses. And for that they get called abortion, Al-Queda, and wish AIDS on them? Jeeze. I’m not sure we can pry that stick out of you ass.
VCO3, we know from previous threads that you don’t like picky eaters.
Did you know that the recommended way to raise kids so they turn out not to be the picky eaters you don’t like is to expose them to a wide variety of foods at an early age?
Yeah, but just not vegetarian foods at a wedding or party. Because broccoli quiche is GROSS!
At a party, the kids deserve to get whatever their hearts desire, but at school they’d better choke down what’s in front of them and shut the hell up.
If we’re going to be forcing kids to choke down whatever the school serves, we should probably be forcing them to eat vegetables instead of hamburgers, fries, and deep-fried chicken patties. Childhood obesity is rapidly rising all around the world, and my guess (IANADietitian) is that that isn’t because kids are eating cherry tomatoes and baby corn from salad bars.
What a phenomenally stupid OP. Awesome work.
As for the steak & lobster issue: the story takes place in Las Vegas! Las Vegas! Nevada! That’s the place with casinos with giant-ass signs that say things like “ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET” and “LOOSEST SLOTS ON THE STRIP” and, I don’t know, “STEAK AND LOBSTER DINNER $11.95”
Steak and Lobster is the official state bird of Nevada. It’s everywhere.
This is my first VCO3 rant thread; I’ll keep my eyes open for more. It’s like watching a retarded spider monkey fight itself in the mirror. Spectacular!
Wouldn’t that ruin the cookies?
Well, it might make them taste like risotto.
not to mention lobstery
So is a nice big german shepard. As long as it doesn’t have the mange.
OK, perhaps I wasn’t clear. I’m all for vegetables at school. I was channeling the OP’s apparent thought process.
Warning: Do not try this at home.
I’d quite like to try “a veritable salad”.
It would beat the pork fritters I had in HS.
Good on the 1st graders–maybe they’ll make a difference long term. Hope so.
No, that’s what Live Journal is for, dumbass.
You know, first grade would be approximately the last time I had lobster. Just before I dropped into my ‘eew, seafood’ phase. (Which I’ve only moved out of for fish…shellfish still makes me oogie.)
Sometime around SECOND grade, I helped my great uncle haul in lobster traps once.
We also had a lobster trap as part of the decor in the house for most of my childhood.
So, yeah, a bit of a special case, to be sure, but it doesn’t take extreme wealth to know what lobster is.
My daughter’s list of favorite foods:
- Strawberries
- Bacon
- Lobster
- Mac & Cheese
- Steak
- Cereal with marshmallows, although it’s really just the marshmallows
She’s 7, going into second grade. She’s had all sorts of things, despite being a far pickier eater than her brother. She’s had escargot, for crying out loud. And I don’t exactly light my cigars with thousand-dollar bills.
VCO3, you’re kind of entertaining, but mostly you’re a jerk. Inflammatory stupidity is annoying, and you should cut it out.
It’s not VC03’s fault for his limited education; his own school couldn’t afford the three Rs. They had to get by with a K and a G.
I totally want to vacation City Slickers-style at a Texas lobster ranch!
Yee-haw!
(or would that be “ayuh!”)
It’d be an eeeeee-YOW!! if you didn’t lasso the lobster’s claw with the rubber band fast enough.
Faux gras?
Methinks you mean Foi Gras.
I hope I’m not being whoooshed here
