On GB

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

On GB

It is an acquired taste, but it is good. Clears your sinuses, as you could say. Just had a small LAN party (Rise of Nations was played, Mayans were pwned, fear the Russo-German alliance) and it seems to have become an instant classic. Go grab some at your local World Market for those of you in the US. (Stinger, there is no excuse, there's one on every corner in Columbus).

For those of you who don't know what GB is, ask the rabbit, he got me into it.

Mwahaha!?! The Word of the Rabbit-God spreads! Give in to deliciousness, the GB way! Look at Steve now, see how content and effervescent he is after listening to the Word of the Rabbit-God? You can be enlightened too, ask me how!

edit - No. Keep your foul brew at the bottom end of the world.

what a waste of good electricity it is to suffer this nonsense. I think we're gonna have to include that awful *fermented* beverage on the list of forbidden subjects.

I guess I need to share that one of the documented and yet unexplained side effects of indulging in GB is that you start talking a different language.

Words of common usage in Amurrican are dropped in lieu of oddities from
other parts of the globe. Soon enough, your vowel sounds are stuffed into the far recesses of the back of your throat and the "r' sound disappears from spoken words altogether.

It is a very vexing and worrying condition which most others interpret to be an attempt by the GB drinker to put on airs.

Be warned all of you. The insidiousness of GB drinking is not to be regarded lightly.

growth of long ears
whiskered nose
cameraphobia
agoraphobia
nocturnalism
troglodytism (living underground)
extreme impecuniousness
a prediliction for hats with corks attached by strings
a bit part in Home and Away or Neighbours
an addiction to Home and Away or Neighbours
tearing of eucalyptus leaves to use as whistles
friendship with indeterminate gender kangaroos
a rudimentary understanding of the language of the kangaroo
a fetish for boomerangs
a boomerang-simulation programme (DOs/WWG only)

and in rare cases

an inability to format a hard drive to ntfs

*Slaps Alpha around* They... are... completely... different! Use the search function ya bum!

Indy - "Airs"? It's not my fault that I am gifted at speaking "Esquilaxian", a language that is a fusion between Australian English, antiquated vocabulary, and chivalric literature. Don't make me start going ye olde English on ye! I'll do it eftsoons if you aren't careful! See? I'll do it again! I'm crazy!

Taw - Lies! Only... *counts* six of those have any validity! Besides, they are present amongst them Orstraylian fellas, not Esquilaxitavians. The Rabbit-God was raised in Orstraylia (in this incarnation), but has never felt an affinity for their culture. Indeed, he is very cynical about it and decries it whenever possible. *Walks off mumbling about "revenge against Towelboy" and stupid sporting-types who are placed on pedestals because they can kick a ball around*

Final - I drink green tea sometimes. A nice chai or sencha with honey is quite refreshing.

@grom: GW - ginger wine, right ??
OMG *spits not that discreetly*

Apparently Gingerazation is growing. These vermaledeit rabbits try to entice all the world into gingerchompers.

You don't believe me, I guess. Now have a look at this: Could you imagine something more strange ? Ginger CHEESE !

"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Gelato...

So, there I was, starting out a batch of some insanely good dark chocolate gelato.

I had measured out the milk into the pan, added some sugar, and was about to scald the milk when I decided that this time I would make GINGER chocolate gelato. Brilliant!

Into the warming milk I grated about 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, and brought the whole thing up to temperature. Stirring after a few minutes, this is what confronted me from the pan:



Yikes. Ok, so the ginger curdled the milk. I wonder what Google has to say about that... Turning up just a few hits where it is mentioned that adding "too much" fresh ginger to milk will make it curdle, I disappointingly also found many hits for ginger ice cream that call for the exact ingredients that I used with no warning about curdling. Ah, but then this link came up on the list, from cookingvillage: "fresh ginger contains an enzyme...". Ah-ha. And, oops.

Now, this is not your usual curdle, as in when making custard. In that case, you can usually just whir the mess in your blender and all will be well. Not here - I had actually created sweet ginger cheese."

And so on. Read the article here
btw: googling for ginger cheese will show more depravity *walks off saying o tempora o mores [/*
