USA loses

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Even if it's not Python humour, it's spot-on in most cases! :D

Nononono - real chips are oven baked. Baked - not fried. BAKED!
What's this? 'Safety In The Kitchen' talk?

Pathetic diced potatoes are baked in the oven on a tray.

Real chips are hand-crafted potato fingers, half-drowned in vegetable oil (or animal fat if 'living it rough') in a chip pan (why else would you have something called a chip pan fire? For yorkie puds?) and put on an insanely hot hob. Wet tea towels are, of course, entirely optional.

Micro chips, especially McCain's, are the bane of the potato foodstuff. Even worse than Spring Onion crisps.

Yes, the source determines whether it's good or not?

How superficial an opinion.

Oh yes. The last lot of chips I made were growing in my garden 30 minutes before I dropped them into the hot fat. And boy, were they the best chips ever.

Real chips are made from potoatoes and cooked in oil/fat. Oven/microwave efforts are just bullsh*t.

Anyone wants to argue, I'll see them outside the board after closing time.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Best hash browns ever (that is, sans hash):

Potatoes, garlic salt, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder. Apply and fry to taste (go easy on the white pepper or it will end up tasting like fish). Very good.

Can't do the vinegar and salt, though. Tried it. Can't. Here in Utah they have this odd concoction called "fry sauce" that is just catsup and mayonnaise together, occasionally with pickle relish (I guess it's the same as Thousand Island dressing). I am freaking addicted to it. I must have it on my burgers, fries (or chips if you prefer), and occasionally ice cream.

So this wasn't John Cleese. I wondered why the person emailing it to me didn't attach a URL.

its not that you won, its that you won and turned out to be so rubbish. That's what's embaressing:

"Hey! Isn't that the country that beat us?"

"Yeah"

"And, iks that their leader?"

"I think so"

"So they beat us... so they could elect an evil monkey?"

"Looks like"

"Damn"

Personally i blame Mel Gibson.

Bush has a bad understanding of the English language. Lots of things to be said against Blair true, however, he can at least construct a sentance... ;)

Supports repression of homosexuals and advocates creationism as part of mainstream education? Claims God tells him to invade places?

that'll do.

However no one (except Impy, who as far as i can gather wants to mate with New Labour en masse) isn't saying Blair is a ****. But he is definitely the lessar of 2 ****s.

What really gets me is... when most people claim God told them to perform an act of violence or something, they get locked up as criminally insane...

Yeah, we've kinda started the slow swirl down the crapper. Now every American is seen as a kid with down syndrome to every other nation.

"Hey, I'm American!"

Gotta agree with EmVee here. Oil is needed. Also you gotta slice them real thin... I'm still working on this. :D
