Mars, tell me more about pasta and its many funny names

There's a kind of pasta called strozzapretti and that literally means "the priest choker".

[The SheoDovah]

Bah, screw valetine's day. *sets fire to it* Burn! Burn, holiday that is mostly an excuse to sell stuff for one day, burn! Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!

[Unionhack]

Meanwhile I love Valentine's Day.

Yes, of course it's an excuse to sell stuff. So is Christmas. And Easter. And Halloween. And International Bear Attack Awareness Day.

It's also an excuse to go out of your way to show people that you love them; and I think that's pretty cool.

I love you, UESPF peeps. Blessing of Mara upon ye; or Sanguine, if you're not a square.

Scrooge!

[The SheoDovah]

Baaaah. It's all an excuse to sell crap. No discounts on it either. Baaah. Pancake day is far superior.

[Aarah]

^But surely pancake day is an excuse to sell pancake mix and ingredients?

[The SheoDovah]

You defile the sacred... yes, it is. But it's crap! I mean, come on, if you are gonna to put that little(btw, WARNING: A british rant is in effect! WARNING: BRITISH RANTING IS IN EFFECT!) into a bottle that size, sell the bloody thing in a smaller bottle. What a darn waste? I mean, seriously? That big bottle? That's like buying a bottle of coke but only having the can sized amount in it. Seriously? A quid for that much? Jog on, mate. You're having a laugh, right? I mean, I could make my own for less then that. It's just a waste of cash. Worst, you can't really make that much out of it. Do a proper bottle sized pancake mix and I'll pay for it. But this? This?! This is tiny! It's a rip off.

At least it's not as bad as crisps. I mean, half a packet!? HALF A PACKET!? I pay for 50% air? Must be good for us, right? Or worse, the darn celebration tins are now extinct unless you want to pay up to a tenner for them! A tenner! That tin could last for years! Now, even tubs are becoming smaller and smaller to the point where you may as well just buy the pouches.

It's past 7 and no-one at my house but me is up. Which means my dad is driving us to school today, and no-one told me. I got up an hour earlier than I had to. ;-;

[The SheoDovah]

Just ye wait until ye are an adult and have more issues then getting up earlier then planned. What? Super serious Dovah and Old Git Dovah is here. I know, you are all wondering what happened to Silly Dovah? I killed him the way I killed Social Dovah.

Surely pancake day is an excuse to sell
pancake mix and ingredients?

The point is actually to use up all the sweet stuff in your house in preparation for Lent: Going out to purchase mix in the morning is sacrilege .

As someone who's on the record as loving pancakes and heresy, I'm all for buying the mix on Tuesday and eating plenty of sweets on Wednesday.

I never knew that this was the reason for Pancake Day/Ash Wednesday. I just thought it was a random celebration of pancakes. >_<

[Kerr]

Ireland's Taoiseach (Prime Minister) put a picture of the pancake he was having on twitter and it's the least appetizing pancake in the world.

I grew up Catholic and always felt that fish not counting as meat on Ash Wednesday is totally rules lawyering an exact wording. Although I suspect it's one of those "The sabbath was made for man, not for for the sabbath" things.

[Dirty Spaceman]

What the hell, that's not a pancake that's like a shadow of a crêpe

[BetaB17]

I've got a sleeping dog in my shirt. Pls, dont send help

[Aarah]

You're supposed to 'let sleeping dogs lie' so carry on.
How did they get in your shirt/ how roomy is that shirt?

[BetaB17]

Just peanut i.e the youngest, when I'm on the couch sitting she has this habit of laying or sleeping on my chest. Just so happen, she found her way under my shirt.. which isnt that big, mind ya, nor is she. Just her head n torso tho. Back legs were all bundled up on my lap

[Aarah]

Tee hee.

[The SheoDovah]

Yes, Peanut. Strike down your owner and your journey to the woofy side is complete. Together, we can prevent the furry fiendish threat known as the Khajiit race and rule over UESP as Dragon and Dog. You don't know the power of the Thu'um but it can be taught! Unless Beta and Aarah team up and hit me with the Daedric Hammer of Banning. That weapon is too overpowered.

[Dark Spark]

Now witness the power of this fully armed and operational coffee station!

[BetaB17]

Oh dear Union, save us...

[The SheoDovah]

Yes. Strike me down and your journey to the coffee/doggy side will be complete. I can sense your hatred. Do it. Strike me down, boi.
