And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
A friend of mine was talking to an american tourist and the tourist was offended when she refered to her sister as a "Downie". My friend asked what they where called in the states and the tourist said "We just call them mongoloids".

I would attempt to usurp your power and government by staging a coup or revolution of sorts (it depends on the situation, really), and hastily install a puppet government to cover up for the fact that I am in fact a fascist dictator, complete with gold toilets and harems and Eagle's Nests and the lot.
Then, with the very fabric of our society splintered and worn into sharp dust from years of infighting, propaganda, persecution, uprisings and the genocide of the supposedly inhuman FirstPosters whom I had scapegoated for all our economic ruin, the youth will discover a book of prophecy thought long lost to the years. Hidden away in the dusty attic of an old and wise FirstPoster who was dragged away to the death pits in the first weeks of the Inquisition, the children of Assetbaria discover a prophecy of One who will save their horrid and forsaken land.
Inside, a picture; drawn as though carved into the page, colored as though by an old and controlling hand, worn as though by the avatar of time itself - a picture of the one they had all remembered as "Margargaret".
"But surely she is dead?" cried young Pumjesticles. "Have they not told us she was run through in the Second War of Koodge in 2009? Have they told us wrongly?"
"Perhaps what we have been taught is not as certain as they claim," said the stern-eyed Pogo III. "Perhaps we need to find new answers to believe in. And, perhaps with it, a new hero will rise from her ashes."
And so begins a new chapter in the annals of Assetbaria....

Now hold, on, a picture of oneself can never ever be an avatar, which is by definition "The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form. An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype." It's you. So, it has to be an icon. (Although we are accepting both "avicon" and "avataricon" because we are not cocks to strangers.)

Now, now, now. We should all be aware that the word "Avatar" has also been used since the mid-80s to signify visual representations (characters/photos/etc) that subtitute for the person in an online context (i.e. on message boards or in games). While this meaning of the word is based on the original Hindu term, it is a new and valid definition which has been generally accepted for a decade at least.
Remember, the original primary definition of an "icon" is a religious representation/image of a Deity.
I apologize if this was being a dick about terms. I'm sorry.

Well hell, one more try at this term-dickishness. How about we agree to use the Computer Desktop Encyclopedia, hey? Kids? More pizza? Look, here are the definitions from the PC Magazine website. What better authority, right?
Definition of: avatar
A graphic identity you either select from a group of choices or create on your own to represent yourself to the other party in a chat, instant messaging (IM) or multiplayer gaming session. An avatar is a caricature, not a realistic photo and can be a simple image or a bizarre fantasy figure.
Avatar is a Sanskrit word that means the incarnation of a god on earth, and this usage of the term came from the gaming and 3D chat worlds.
Definition of: icon
In a graphical user interface (GUI), a small, pictorial, on-screen representation of an object, such as a document, program, folder or disk drive.
Source: https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/
So class, it looks like an avatar can be static and could appear as a thumbnail, althought I still like "icon" for that. But I will yeild "icon" to true computer stuff, and join the avatar camp. However, it is illogical to be one's own avatar unless we call it a "self-atar" or something. Discuss while I go to the principal's office with spiny -- I told you to leave earmorekix alone!

Is it possible to be a dick about sources while being a dick about terms?
The earliest use of Avatar in a digital context that I've seen is in Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. His use fit the Sanskrit definition of a god (the real person) being incarnated in a world, in this case virtual. I'm sure his choice of the word avatar was based on the themes of the book, where icon would not have fit as well. This makes me ask 3 questions in trying to get a grip on avatar/icon:
1. Anyone seen an earlier use of avatar?
2. Anyone know a source for icon on the internet?
3. Would the line between avatar and icon perhaps be movement or control? An icon is just a still painting, an avatar is a functional incarnation. So for instance a character in WOW would be an avatar, while a picture by your name here would be an icon. Or does the act of changing your representative picture make that space an avatar as opposed to always having the same picture as an icon?
Personally, I just like the word avatar better. It looks good written out, it sounds good being spoken. However, I am a dick about terms, particularly with myself.
Self-card:
[Outside] Sorry I was a dick about terms (7 pack)
(inside) but you/I will get 5 more minutes of sleep tonight because that is one less thing to worry about laying in bed.

Further definition requires...well, further space.

First, sorry for the long delay on the first response. I only just realized I had an Inbox that made checking on these responses easier.
I'm glad to hear you are reading Snow Crash. Stephenson is one of my favorite writers. Snow Crash is one of his earlier published works, when he was still really getting a grip on his writing style. His later works just get better from there. My favorite (to date) is probably the System of Worlds series, but as my name indicates I have a penchant for history. However, the concepts in Snow Crash still make me re-read it on a regular basis. Diamond Age too, although neither are his greatest display of writing skill. I have to enjoy them now before Hollywood ruins them with movie versions someday.
I hope you enjoy the read.

Yes, using Inbox takes a little getting used to. I open it, then open recent messages in new windows. But I'm getting near 60 pages of reponses, so answering anything past the most recents strips is going to get harder and harder.
The writing style of Snow Crash is rather awkward, but I am enjoying the density of detail and invention. I look forward to reading Stephenson's more recent works.

Go back the connect option. Fill in the stuff there with whatever (Don't leave them blank). Hit connect.
It'll pop up a thing where you should type #achewood. Hit return.

well, there should be a pull-down menu that lists some Servers you can connect to. Find the one that is...slashnet? I believe. I would check, but the internet is hard.
Anyway, just find the Slash(whatever) server, and then where you can type in a room or...channel, type in #achewood.

This is a secret whisper to all the people who love Obama but are afraid right now. Anyone else: I respect your opinion but disagree politely. Anyway: Secret whisper: Obama is going to win in November for a few reasons:
1. John McCain doesn't know anything about the economy and by November we will all be eating shoes.
2. John McCain, whether out of context or not, has a sound bite that says he wants 100 years of war. That is bad for him.
3. He is the successor of the most reviled president in the history of polling. The number of homoerotic photos of him fondling Bush out there are staggering.
4. The only thing the press loves more than a hero is tearing one down. It is happening to Obama right now, and once they turn on McCain, it will be even worse, mostly because his negative aspects are even more glaring than Obama's.
5. McCain is, like, a bajillion years old.
Seriously, this is meant as balm for people that already agree with me, and is in no way meant to start a flame war.

Yea I mean this is why I think it's kinda silly when people make a big deal out of pointing out that they don't vote by party but based on the candidate, because no matter what someone actually believes, he's pretty much going to have to adopt the party platform if he wants to get the nomination and then get re-elected. So the only time you could expect a president to do something outside party lines is at the end of his second term, like Bush did with immigration (and even that was more a pro-business move than a pro-minority one).

I hear that in far-off lands there's a form of "compulsory" voting where you just basically get fined if you don't vote. We need that here. It is just difficult for us sometimes because everyone's always trying to disenfranchise certain groups of people to make sure that their party wins. Like people will put up signs that say, "Don't forget to vote on Wednesday!" when actually you have to vote Tuesday. This actually happens.

Many studies have found that when you ask the non-voters how they would have voted, it turns out pretty much the way the election went anyway. But everyone thinks the non-voters would have helped only their side. People don't vote because they are cool with whatever happens, or turned off by the whoel process. Either way, they get the government they deserve.

I've voted in every goddamned election (and not just the presidential ones--local, state, etc.) since the year 2000 when I turned 18. I've caucused. I've been a county delegate. The explanation for why so many in the US don't vote, in my humble opinion, comes down to education. Education, education, education. I can only speak in reference to the public schools I attended (which were probably about average quality). But in my experience we're taught a lackluster, cursory overview of the basic structure of our government--three branches, checks and balances, George Washington, two senators per state, etc.--just enough to get students past the SATs, while boring them into thinking the subject is too complicated and futile to want to learn anything further about it. Certainly not the kind of instruction that might get kids interested in or excited about their own damn government. We certainly are NOT taught how, let alone encouraged , to PARTICIPATE in government from the local level on up. The result is that kids leave school not thinking about the government as something that they have a stake in, something that they can affect or influence. It becomes in people's minds like this mysterious, nebulous, monolithic entity that you pay taxes to in lieu of sacrificing a goat. They don't think of it as their own government, which rightfully it should be; it belongs to the people--they just don't realize it. And of course this makes things much easier for the powers that be. And there are so many great shows on tv besides....

I think lack of voting comes from the lack of participation in community. Communities have become less diverse also - have become more homogenous in their viewpoints and such.. different groups of kids used to mingle more than they do today. lack of education comes from various factors, including lack of participatory community. Yes lack of education is part of why people don't vote, but, I don't see it as being a main reason. The main reason is that they system of community, of society, is broken, in so far as it is ill-adapted to the governmental system that it has, or, conversely, you could say that the governmental system is broken because it is ill-adapted to the systems of society and community that exist in this country. Either way, this country is screwed and on it's way out if at least one of these two items (government or social systems) doesn't shift paradigms immediately, nay, yesterday.

But then we get the opposite, but just as bad: the citizens donkey voting or drawing a picture, because they don't care. You also get politicians pandering to the lowest common denominator of the general public (but I guess you get that in the US as well, but also possibly more focused toward special interest groups who they know will vote).
I feel a solution could be to work around the majority of people's biggest deciding factor when it comes to the compulsion to do things - laziness.
What you do is make voting automatically compulsory for all citizens, but with the option of manually opting out. This way, the majority of people will still vote, purely because they're too busy/lazy/disorganised to go and un-enrol to vote down at their local politician's office. But the people who truly don't want to vote, can.
The same should go for organ donorship - automatically signed up for it, but you can choose not to be (though most won't). The opposite, as we see in Australia, results in a lot of people approving of organ donorship, but not having actually signed up - and it doesn't damn well work.
My last idea would be quite controversial and would most likely ruin my campaign once the opposition gets hold of it.

I get the feeling that everyone on here more or less thinks that the system dishonours them in someway or the other and therefore no one here would get worked up enough about it. Still...

Their platforms really are pretty similar, no matter what anyone says, and some (like Paul Krugman) say that HIlary's healthcare plan is better. It's really just a matter of whether you believe that Obama can actually change political discourse and get rid of the pre-scripted bullshit. Which I kinda do, but I can understand people who are skeptical about it.

first off, people who think that politics and religion and such should not be discussed... what is up with that? no one's asking you to participate. just keep scrolling.
I personally don't support Hillary. I think that this country needs leadership with the conviction and the lunacy of Charlton Heston when he said "From my cold dead hands." Hillary plays ball. She's damn good at it too. This country doesn't need someone who plays ball. This country needs someone who will go postal on all the fuck heads who play ball, Hillary included. O'Bama is as close as we are going to get to such a person, this election. For Hillary to be electable, and to also not be a partisan disaster after she's elected, she would have to have that crazy Dirty Hairy conviction. That Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid Thelma & Louise kamikaze attitude. That Ronald Reagan cowboy demeanor. America doesn't want a president that exudes corporate bullshit compromise in word and in action. America is not going to vote for someone who reminds us of all the corporate bullshit the little man has to put up with on a daily basis, from our bosses, from our health insurance companies, from the pages of fine print that we can't read in the TV commercials. We're stupid but we're not fucking dummies. We know what it takes to get to where Hillary is at. We know the rules of the game. And we know the game needs to be changed. The game is Hillary's life. Sure she means well, and she would do better than most, but the one thing she won't do is choke the fucking beast with her bare hands around it's neck until it's dying breath no matter how much it kicks and claws at her. Hillary will not do this. Remember also that America is stupid, juvenile, sophomoric. How the fuck else do you explain Bush Jr. for one term, let alone two! Two fucking terms! The inescapable conclusion, when you look at the numbers, and extrapolate those as representative of everyone, voters and non-voters alike, is that a good 50% of America was dumb enough to vote for Bush, and probably easily another 35% was so fucking dumb that although they didn't vote for Bush, they had a tough time making that call and it was a close call. So yeah. Fuck policy. This election is not about policy. There is no way that this election can be about policy. This election is about whatever will crank the nut of a stupid, juvenile, sophomoric and uneducated population. In all probability and likelihood, right now at this very instant as you read this, there is somewhere in the Amazon jungle a butterfly about to determine the next president of the United States of Fucking America. Somebody please shoot me.

Word! I'm enjoying this arc moreso than the Shrovis arc, mainly because this one a) highlights Onstad's ability to write characters who speak through their own voice rather than that of the author, and b) highlights Onstad's gift for mangling the English language in interesting and humourous ways.

My mind works more similarly to Roast Beef's than I originally would have hoped. For example, in my brief, painful career at a diner, I was grating mass amounts of cheese to go on the burgers, but it also went in the salads. As the grater was so huge, I kept nicking my knuckles on it. My train of thought was something along the lines of
Oh, no, what if it gets infected? Or, what if I grate off a whole chunk of my skin, and I bleed all over the worktop? Or, what if that little chunk of skin falls into the cheese, and that cheese goes in someone's salad, and that someone is a vegetarian and they find a little chunk of meat in their salad, and they complain and I get blamed, or they go further than that and actually sue us and the whole restaurant closes down and it's all my fault and I have to compensate the owner with 50% of my paycheck for the rest of my life?

Once while working in a kitchen, grating tons of delicious whole milk provolone, I cut off the tip of my index finger in a giant 70s era industrial grater. The owner was there that morning and sent me to the emergency room for no reason other than she was worried I would sue (which was silly as I was 15 and not very injured) and so I went to the hospital and when I got back I found out that nobody else knew it had happened so they used that cheese on a pizza!
It haunts me that the person who ultimately consumed it probably thought it was just another piece of sausage or bacon or what have you and ate it and never knew.
Part of me was in their intestines.

The owner was there that morning and sent me to the emergency room for no reason other than she was worried I would sue (which was silly as I was 15 and not very injured) and so I went to the hospital and when I got back I found out that nobody else knew it had happened so they used that cheese on a pizza!
It haunts me that the person who ultimately consumed it probably thought it was just another piece of sausage or bacon or what have you and ate it and never knew.

OK, either one of you guys is named Wanda and you are lying about your age, or finger nubs ending up in pizzas is much more common than we would like to think.
The same thing happened to a woman named Wanda at the pizza place that I worked at in high school. She was scooping the grated cheese out of a big Hobart mixing bowl but she forgot to remove the blades first and cut her finger. She was sent off to the hospital and we threw out the cheese that was in the mixing bowl. But the cheese that was already in the bucket got put in the fridge. When Wanda got back from the hospital, she told us that she had not just cut her finger but actually sliced off a chunk on the side.
We all told ourselves that the finger bit went into the trash with the cheese still inthe mixer. But the thought that it might have fallen into the cheese bucket was a good horror story.

I think with the amounts of cheese and therefore time spent grating, it is not such an uncommon occurrence. I am certainly not lying, I can still see the scar from the injury. Just barely, though. Maybe i'm imagining it.

It is not that uncommon. Doing prep dough work at Pizza Hut, I sliced an angled portion of my middle finger off with a serrated knife while portioning dough. (bleeding slightly onto the dough, along with the tiny bit of finger) I went to the hospital to get it stitched and covered, then went back to finish my shift (managers have no heart). I asked my coworker what the manager had done with the dough--he said he had cut a swath of dough out where the incident occurred, and had used the rest. Yeah.
PS: The dough? It was "hand tossed".

I was previously of the opinion that the fictional character of gladi8orrex added nothing valuable to the board, but I think the author is really starting to develop him and take him in interesting new directions. I'm looking forward to a Robert Hamburger-type thing where we slowly get an unintentional window into gladi8orrex's troubled home life and adolescent insecurities.

oh shit, you guys, are you doing some sort of big meta-storyline where you two have some drama over who is really gladi8orrex, and then it turns out that he is a real guy or something, and you are on the news about a "new way of storytelling"? You guys are probably doing that, right?

this comic reminds me of a true story. My managers at work were all pissed off at me because I can be a bitch, and I sometimes send e-mails that are... creative... in a linguistic and expressionistic sort of way... maybe even after a sort of Tom Greenish style. so they gave my e-mails to the company doctor, who confirmed that I am a main lunatic. So. That's why I have so much time to kill on Assetbar. I don't really have a job. I just collect disability pay and I have to go see a shrink every now and again. Yet I still feel as if there isn't enough time in the day to get everything done. Yet I still kill time on Assetbar.
In other news I'm looking to marry a Canadian or a Norwegian chick, for the citizenship. We could have sex too, if you want. If you're not too ugly. I guess I'd go for pretty much any EU country too. As long as they have decent single-payer health care.

I know it's out of place to make serious life suggestions to internet people, but like... have you ever considered just NOT giving vent to these expressionistic linguistic exercises? I mean as crazy as you think you are, I can relate to about 75% of the stuff you say on an inner level, but the difference is I generally keep it in my mind, where it belongs. I mean what do you really hope to accomplish by foisting it on others - some kind of passive-aggressive revenge simply by virtue of making them uncomfortable? It seems like a pretty paltry reward.
On the other hand, maybe if you'd had Assetbar (where this shit is accepted about 50% of the time) to vent on instead of work (where it's accepted about 0% of the time) you'd be able to function normally. But that would be asking a lot of us.

hey it would be hypocritical of me to expect anyone to edit themselves or to be upset if they didn't. Au contraire mon frere, your point is well taken.
Sometimes I harass and intellectually molest people with my iconoclasm and creativity purposefully, but also to a large degree I am ignorant of the extent to which I have this effect on people without my even trying. Getting along socially with individuals and with groups is something that some people just suck at. Ya know, there's always that awkward nerdy kid in the class who is picked on and isn't smart enough to even figure out why. I am that kid. Of course, if it's a class full of jocks, the kid stands out more, whereas, in a class of reasonably intellectual kids, like some advanced math class or something, such a kid will kind of perhaps be a bit obtuse socially, but it won't really be an issue. So anyway, it's hard to say objectively how much it's me who's crazy, and how much it's everyone else. I'm certainly not Urkle. And American pop culture is certainly... shit. Ya know... when the psyche, the ego, the very soul of a person, is revolving so much around materialistic concerns as brands and styles of clothing and American sports (not to be confused with sports) and American wrestling (not to be confused with wrestling,) well... ya know.. it makes it a little harder to connect with such a person, or a group of such people. I know I sound condescending and self-righteous and pompous, but really I'm not. Even if I'm maybe not finding the best way to express it, I am pointing out an actual phenomenon in American culture, one which is in the same category as a cousin I had who was strapped to a chair by his babysitter and sat in front of the T.V. for hours on end... He had the entire TV lineup memorized and would literally rock back and forth when not watching TV. We're talking serious cognitive and mental developmental difficulties. Don't get me wrong, I'm great with kids, I get along with them great, but when kids don't completely make that transition into adulthood, when they're missing something, developmentally, you know, and they do stuff like vote for Bush... How do you relate to them? Now I understand that this is the norm in this country, and I understand that it is in fact me who is missing something as much as it is them, in so far as my difficulty with relating to them, but anyway, I'm just sayin'... it ain't all me, and it's kind of hard to pin down how much of it is me.
As far as functioning normally... Do you mean like, keeping up the appearance of being normal? Or simply collecting a paycheck? 'cause don't get me wrong - it ain't hard for me to collect a paycheck. Especially in my current job, which is union. But yeah, some day I'll have to get a real job, and pretend to be normal again. Boy that will suck.

Are hash browns the same in the US as the UK?
Hash browns in the US are "peelings" of potatoes that are made into a patty-like shape and fried in a pan. The goal is to keep them in the patty shape so that the middle stays soft, and the outside crunchy.
Aha. That sounds sort of like latkes. Which are awesome.
They are pretty much exactly like latkes, actually.
To clarify, this is what hash browns exist as to me:
(so obviously you can understand my confusion as to what Beef is doing in that pan)
"Real" hashbrowns are made by frying julienne or coarsely grated potatoes.
Ah, you are illustrating fast-food frozen patties composed of hashbrown-type material, but compressed into a shape that can be dropped into a vat of hot fat. Real American hashbrowns start out as loose gratings.
The way those three shapes are laid out, all I see is some kind of TV network logo.
i chubbied it, but i'm almost concerned about the time it took to make this.
It's understandable to be concerned as it's a quality graphic, but I'm sure most people on Acheworld spend too much time here anyway, so chubbied.
If I had to guess, no more than 30 minutes. Mostly text, no complex graphics. All the same, looks hell of classy. I sure as hell gave it a chubby.
Totally worth it.

YES
Extra V-chub for Smoot. You go to Cal?
Those look more like tatter tots to me.
Yeah those aren't normal hash browns.
Hash browns are usually thin slices -- or so I thought.
Thin slices are called "cottage fries" around here (Midwest).
...like the north midwest. i've never heard that.
neither have I. Maybe it is a generational thing?
Maybe pogo is the devil
Pogo is secretly Patrick Bauchau. Or Brian Cox. Mayhaps a combination of the two? Either way, what an excellent-looking man.
Wait, where was I going with this?
In my part of the midwest we call them home fries. Apparently [url=https://www.thefreedictionary.com/home fry]AHD[/url] agrees with me...
Yeah, where I am in the Midwest (Represent!) we call cubed and fried potatoes "home fries." We also call homemade hash-browns "potato pancakes". Only McDonald's-style fried hockey-pucks are called "hash-browns."
*=THE MORE YOU KNOW=*
Oookay, "Midwest" is pretty vague, I'm in Wisconsin (go Badgers/Packers). "Fried potatoes" are all sliced up with onions, and also called "cottage fries," at least by my known kitchen associates. And despite McDuck's co-opting the word "hashbrown" for their hockey pucks, "hash" means shredded.
Is there even a real cottage in the U.S.?
If there isn't, then is cottage cheese a lie? A fucking delicious lie ?!
Only with apple butter. Cottage cheese straight up is dicey business.
please do not take this in any kind of wrong way,
but at first glance, you look like my mom.
again, not meant to be any kind of insult or joke, as my mom is very pretty.
wow this whole face icon thing is weird.
i have never thought i'd seen my mom on the internet before.
oh and incase this gets out of order, that was directed at talix18
It's cool - they say I look like my mom too. But I've seen my mom on the internet on her husband's travel pictures site. It's not quite as weird on a site designed by an amateur.
Ok, talix will play the mom, I'll play the dad, and all you little bastards better get your pajamas on and get to bed! There's school tomorrow, you know.
And do NOT make turn this car around or you will ALL be driven to the orphanage in the Volvo of Despair.
only if by dicey you mean awesome
Not to dis my one-time home of WI, but there are some strange terms up there. Such as bubbler for a water fountain. I'm not sure if cottage fries are all that universal in the general Midwest.
Ya-hey, ve got some goofy accents in Vis-con-sin.
Damn! I didn't know we had so many wholesome Midwesterners on here!
We need to found our own "gin ocean" up here... {maybe Lac du Lager?}
In my slave years at a greasy Country Kitchen, I fried shredded tots on the grill for "hashbrowns". A kindly old German grandmother would come in and grind potatoes into a slurry that we browned on the grill, then fried in hot fat as "potato pancakes". I only ate fried cheese, so I cannot comment on their respective qualities.
I fear the Badgerpackers
I am in ohio (I do not care about sports played by strangers) and around here sliced, fried potatoes are called home fries, and hashbrowns usually means the hockey-puck thingies (I always associate the word "puck" with the dude who played him in my middle school midsummer night's dream production (I was totally nick bottom)) but can also just mean shredded potatoes fried in general. I have never heard of these "cottage fries."
Wow that was rambly-er than usual, i must still be high.
Potato pancakes (or latkes) are an entirely different thing, and are based a batter of sorts (needs eggs). Hash browns are loose, grated potato fried up to a crunch on the outside, but still soft inside.
Oh, yeah, I'm being a dick about terms, but I chubbied you first, so I hope you forgive.
Holy crap, I just noticed your icon!
It's not... the Banana Grabber ?!?!?
you saw the Banana Grabber and no chubby? for shame, good sir.. for shame.
wait, did you lame me for not chubbying him?
...because I think that's sorta lame.
Admittedly, that was slightly lame. Yet, you didn't lame me there either. Are you hoarding? :-)
No, I just figured a lame for a lame makes the whole world... uhh... lame. But I chubbied the Banana Grabber, so our score is settled.
that's cool. I chubbied you for calling me lame.
We've always had a complex relationship.
here in boston do the same, except hasbrowns are both those macdonalds-stye abominations and REAL potato peeling cake deliciousness.
I've spent time in both the midwest and northeast US, and I've seen the terms hash browns and home fries both refer to anything from large thick, french fries to a pile of grilled shredded potatoes to a McDonald's-style potato slab to an almost stew-like substance that has onions. When I order them somewhere, I have no idea what to expect.
Damn't now I'm hungry
Yes, in closing, I want something hot made of shredded potatoes NOW.
They kind of are. The only difference between hash browns and tater tots is the size.
Get thee to a proper diner for some hashbrowns, horse dogg maniac! (I will use every excuse from now on to call people "horse dogg maniac.)
If you are in America, a Denny's or a Waffle House will do.
mom and pop resturant or a "greasy spoon" as they are called. some times they food is refered to as "continental" I think
I wonder what a Horse Dog Maniac looks like..
Probably enormous.
Scroll down.
No, those are cottage fries. Actually, maybe they are the same. Wait, I thought they only fried tomatoes in the UK...
We fry everything in the UK.
Up to and including Mars Bars.
Mars bars? Mars bars? We go way beyond Mars bars. Any type of chocolate bar, Cadbury Creme Eggs, ice cream . Fried Mars bars are for pansies.
(Disclaimer: I have never had any kind of deep fried confectionary. It's more of a Northern thing. Although I'm going North er for uni, so it could yet change.)
I had fried pizza in Scotland.
It was a goddamn blast.
Deep fried pizza is mega nasty. It is dog shit .
I typed 'deep friend' by mistake there and this is somehow quite an awesome thought.
Do a search for "60-gallon kettles".
Deep Friend Pizza is a Pizza that you order from a reputable neighborhood Pizzeria, not a chain or a greasy joint, but a good honest restaurant. This Pizza comes to your door in a reasonable amount of time, and the Pizzaguy smiles as he hands it to you. You share the Pizza with a close friend, or loved one, perhaps while quietly holding hands, depending on the nature of your relationship. Because the pizza was perfectly sized for two, there are no leftovers, and you are both satisfied. It is a good Pizza, made by honest men.
Also, you are both stoned.
On chronic, or for your sins?
For some reason, I've never felt comfortable calling weed "chronic." Maybe because I'm not Dr. Dre.
It is a silly thing to say, is the point of it.
Dear lord... the deep fried pizza article on wikipedia is fattening just looking at it. I thought they'd just do slices! That's nuts.
I had a deep-fried Twinkie once, but that was in the good ol' U S of A. It was also probably the best thing I've ever tasted.
Look up deep fried Coke. It sounds strange because it is.
I tried it once, and it was pretty much a doughnut with a mild cola flavor. It was good enough, but certainly not an experience worth bothering with again.
to think I passed up a deep-fried Snickers bar to try a coke doughnut.
It only takes one bite of a deep-fried snickers to hate yourself.
in the south (of the U.S.) you can find deep fried pickles.
In a bar 5 blocks from my apartment (not in the south) you can find deep fried pickles. They are not the most common of bar food, but they are not strictly limited to the south.
Fun fact: In the state of Connecticut, a pickle is not legally considered a pickle unless it bounces.
In Saskatchewan they call hooded sweatshirts "bunnyhugs".
i will think about what you've just said for a very long time.
But only if it has the pocket in the front, and no zipper.
Isn't Canada cute !
That is good to know. I'm currently wearing a hooded sweatshirt, and will be going to Saskatoon in 3 weeks.
how was it? did you get much use out of the term?
no. it was the summer.
ain't mean you can't wear a hoodie. especially in Canada.
It did get a little cold at night. But, hey, I was drunk.
i like looking at the recent comment and knowing it's for me. it's almost like a secret.
but anyways, i guess you tend not to care too much about things like that when you're inebriated.
Fried Jaffa Cake Mini Roll My man. In other news, have you noticed a chubbying drop off since you replaced Stephen Fry ith (presumably) you?
I notice a sudden trough in chubbies whenever I change from Nodding Ash, but after a while it soon plateaus.
Not the reason I keep going back to him, mind you. It's because, hey, Nodding Ash is awesome! How can I NOT have that dude telling me what's what all the time?
As much as I do cherish your face, mr. skradley, I must admit I miss seeing ol' Ash, just nodding away.

If you watch closely, he actually pulls off one of his googly eyes and drops it on the pancakes.
I tried fried Oreos at the state fair last year. I was underwhelmed. Also they were messy.
I've not had any either. But a deep-fried Creme Egg is, on paper at any rate, the best thing ever.
You have just reminded me to buy a little bag of those before they stop selling them again until next year. (thank you)
Also, wouldn't they melt?
Are you going to buy enough to last a year?
I have no idea about the technicalities of deep-frying. Someone else?
Nope, just enough to be able to dip and eat two packets of chip sticks in.
They are battered. It means that they only partially melt, and are in any case contained.
Yes, the batter hardens creating a delicious, highly fattening shell.
I've never tried deep-fried chocolate. I don't think it's really a Northern thing. Mainly just a Scottish thing.
Here in the states, it's mostly a county fair/tractor pull kind of thing. I have eaten deep fried candy bars at both.
Yes, I did just openly admit to attending a tractor pull, in the town I used to live in, not only were tractor pulls popular, they were the kind of place you would take a date.
Nothing tells a girl "I think you're special" like inviting her to go watch redneck idiots break axles and drivelines trying to show everyone how tough their truck is by pulling a large weight through the mud.
Any girl who doesn't get turned on by that isn't worth the damn effort.
HELL YEAH
USA! USA!
That guy's friends have been calling him horse dogg maniac for YEARS.
His name is MAXX KAKL. There is no better name for a tractor puller.
on Broadway in NYC they do fried cheesecake on a stick.
When we go out for Mexican, we always get fried ice-cream. The ice-cream has to be VERY cold before it goes in the fryer; it's coated in cookie crumbs, then it's just a quick dip in the oil to get that crackly, delicious glaze on top.
I've also had it at Japanese restaurants, where they coat green tea or red bean ice-cream in sweet tempura batter. :P
Lightly fried sushi is made of solid God.
Mmm... Tempuuuura
oh man the sushi restaurant up in town does that and yes, it is crispy God.
Has anybody in Scotland ever tried to deep-fry Irn-Bru? Seems like the next logical step.
I don't get how people fry chocolate, but they do.
I personally think they have to employ shamans.
Dude Notts is not north. Also, I should warn you that Nottingham has one of the highest proportions of women to men of anywhere in the UK.
wait where is this
Sonofabitch
And I know it's not North. But I'm London-based, so it feels North as far am I'm concerned. They have accents. And I don't. (By the way, I'm kidding, I'm not actually that stupid.)
oh SHIT
Sorry, I'm at my friend's house and I forgot that it was logged in as him.
Hahaha, awesome.
Everyone be nice to him, he is rad.
What, it's just that your succession of comments confused the shit out of me until I got it.
You know, you are the only person that would get chubbied for this.
What the hell? Why are you being all aggressive about this?
That was Hecci, dude.
Well, Hecci, you've ruined your buddy's asset-career. I hope you're happy.
He was going to be the chubby king , too. He could've been a contender!
*angstily shadowboxes*
W...what? Now I'm confused.
HE WAS THE CHOSEN ONE!
HE WAS MEANT TO BRING BALANCE TO THE CHUBBIES/LAMES, NOT LEAVE THEM IN DARKNESS!
I know who it was, but I thought that it would make more sense if I replied to the post that was all unnecessarily aggressive.
Who's post was that, then? Mine?
No, alexlike's. Quimwad.
Oh please dont mention what you found in your cereal
DAAAAAAAMN IIIIIIIT.
That's exactly the kind of thing I should be looking up before I reply to my Uni offers.
Are you in year 12 or 13?
Thirteen, baby. Salad years.
Has anyone tried the deep-fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich? I saw it for sale at the fair but didn't have the nerve to try it. I'm afraid I would love it.
Other than fish, I am a gastronimic virgin in this deep-fried land. (BTW, welcome to the handface movement, even if I am half your age.)
finally, a woman with experience!!!
...what was it like to experience the shooting of McKinley?
Thanks! I've exchanged for a phone-free icon but now I'm slightly pixelated. Still, not bad for my age, eh?
Here in America can flash-fry a buffalo in thirty seconds and that will not have been fast enough.
Well, one only has so much time to eat their flash-fried buffalo when they have to get dressed and go to work within the hour.
scraggg chubbied for GSYBE avatar. Its the simple things that get me through.
Say hey Billy, can you deep-fry a buick?
Sure I can, but your dad might pu-ick.
Well alright, but he'll probably pu-ick!
Bein' a dick about lyrics. Feelin' it.
That is the first time I have seen a "Billy the Beef Tallow Boy" reference on any message board, the first time ever, and for that you receive a chubby
chubby for both of you
it has been years since I have seen that cartoon
I have not seen this cartoon you reference, but holy crow is that a Neverending Story avatar???
Rarr!
AAAH! FALKOR!! HELP!!!
Haha, your avatar makes this look like 'bored terror'. Fantastic!
"Billy the Beef Tallow Boy" was a character in a "commercial" for beef tallow on Ren and Stimpy.
The song from the commercial was a series of Question-Answer couplets in the form of
Say hey Billy, can you deep fry (random object)
Rhyming response while Billy deep fries said object
Hey hey Billy, can you deep fry the phone?
Leave a message when you hear the tone
Whaddaya know? Man oh man!
I'd hate to be around when he goes to that can!
I ALWAYS FUCK EVERY THING I DO I AM MY OWN IMAGINATION'S RAPIST.
I think fried ice cream is somewhat universal. At least, in the US, you can get it in most Mexican restaurants and some Chinese restaurants. and renn faires. ...
man fried ice cream is so good. I want some now :(
Fried vanilla ice cream with cinnamon is a delicacy often found in Mexican restaurants in the US, though I don't know if it originates from Mexico. I do know that it is heaven on earth.
goddamn it. i just scrolled down enough to see mira's comment. GODDAMN IT. stupid stupid stupid....
Yes,.... Yes you were.
You, sir, are severely lacking class and status.
Also grammar. Comma, then ellipses? The hell?
Listen BIGGS, the Midlands in not the North, we're tired of you damn Southerners calling us Northerners. And we're sick of Northerners calling us Southerners.
God I went overboard on the capitalisation.
what? what? whaaaat? You thought we only fry tomatoes and do not fry anything else, or you thought that was our only way of cooking tomatoes, or possibly you thought that frying tomatoes was in fact the only activity anyone ever undertakes in the UK, or... well, anyway, none of those are correct.
In the US they are called "soccer."
Wait, are you implying that in the US, most people have no idea what hash browns are with even fewer caring?
I think its funny that you were lamed for this. I will chubby it back to equilibrium.
In U.S. of A, browns hash you!
awww racial
At first glance, I read:
" awww facial "
Which is not what you said at all!
haha! "aww facial". bless.
I feel so dirty now, it won't wash off... what will my wife think?
It is short for "Association Potatoes".
Next time: the regional definitions of "choad."
"A penis that is thicker around than it is long"
I am pretty sure this is universal.
I have heard people use the word to describe things other than this, but those people are all wrong.
Holy shit. No way. Around here it is the same as a tain't.
'round here too.
Oh jesus this is going to be a thing, isn't it? I am willing to die to defend my right to tell you how wrong you are about what "choad" means.
and thus began the second American civil war
WE HAVE FUCKING BEEN THROUGH THIS ALREADY AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE
drskradly I strongly advise you not to come between the correction of those ingrates who do not realize that a choad is not a taint.
We who know the real definition will fix them.
HUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
My lexical gong fu is strong. Do not challenge me lightly...
Er... I hope that didn't come off as me being serious.
'tisn't.
I'm just worried that they're burning while he's imagining the cards and talking to ray. Don't burn potatoes! don't do it!
In Ireland they are called Boxty, not sure if they're made any different though.

I can never see Boxy Brown without thinking of At the Drive-In.
Hash browns = potato rosti.
Maybe there should be a recipe for hash browns in the next Achewood cookbook, as they seem to be kind of a gray area. The proper definition of home fries however, has been cleared up by Roast Beef .
Oh Charles Manson, you so crazy .
Hey how's that underground-bunker-refuge-from-a-sexual-deprivation-caused-race-war thing going for ya Charles.
Going well?
Haha, Charles, you just got BURNED!
If only you could have fit that extraordinarily stupidly long conjugation onto a single line, I might have approved of your efforts to burn some random internet stranger you pathetic little man
I'm not sure Charles Manson has enough access to the Internet to count as a random Internet stranger.
It's alright, I know which of you I will spare when the race war comes into full effect.
And it will .
wait.. they gave charles manson access to the internet?
man now I can never be in communities without thinking everybody is charles manson :(
This whole discussion of various potato terms is hella confusing to me. In Russia, we had "fried potato", "boiled potato", and "mashed potato". That is, when we had potatoes at all and weren't eating tree bark soup.
In Soviet Russia, potato peel you...
Hey, now. I have some experiece in Northern ways, and I can't let something like that slip by. Tree bark soup is totally a Finnish recipe.
