Never. But I do consider it a must-see in the city. It's damn good.

Yeah I kinda knew that but felt the need to press the question because I'm a dick. "Take away" vs. "to go" is an interesting linguistic turn. I stumbl...

You'd better.

Ok cool. I hate to be pedantic, but I'm seriously unsure of how a "chip shop" relates to all of this, in relation to how you described it. Last questi...

I've learned to boldly browse the sketchy back room at my Syrian bakery; they have everything you could want back there. Just act confident.

I'm still confused. So, in Scotland "Fish Supper" refers to fried haddock with thick chips (what I'd call wedges in the US). All good. In England, the...

Normally I would; I usually look up a few recipes and combine the bits I like. In this case, this recipe is so damn good that I don't mess with it. It...

And doubtless you've never failed.

Thanks. The couscous I bought is from a Syrian bakery, and the bag doesn't have any cooking directions, so I had to resort to the interwebs. I'll keep...

Ok, time to get the foodbox back in shape. Dinner: Homemade Chicken Shawarma, homemade tabouleh, couscous that was sort of burnt, and store-bought hum...

Pride, obviously.

Very interesting, thanks, I didn't know any of that. I just discovered this song/artist the other day.

The only time I've had AC was the dorm I lived in in my freshman year in college. Ironically, it's in the process of being installed in the building I...

Just hitting the good bits and it's grand. :up:

Kafka On The Shore - Haruki Murakami

Can’t sleep, but this is my 6,000th post. I might eat leftover frozen pizza for breakfast to celebrate.

Sorry to hear, hope you're doing well.

:groan:

Wouldn't you fire yourself?

I tried to watch, but I couldn't tell if I was watching an ad for sbcglobal from 10 years ago, or an actual post from sbcglobal in the year 2022.

:sweat: What exactly are you thanking him for?

Wow, I'm super sad. I really hope it's not for real. I'm glad he left his email, which I will save. If this is real, then this is a new era here at TP...

Looks to me like @"Wayfarer" found enlightenment. I'd let him be.

I think they honestly just didn't know where they were going. Definitely a large attitude, though. I can relate, if I'm being honest.

Actually a typical situation did happen. A couple, a man and a woman were asking another woman a question, but she apparently ignored them, because th...

I forgive you but pay attention next time.

Too much bass

Well, I'm home and do not feel entertained. Thanks everyone.

Its my weekend but I just missed the subway and now I have to wait for 9 minutes. Someone entertain me please.

Well, Mr. Smith was last seen in Texas around 12,000 years ago. The Mad Fool, on the other hand, was active a mere 4 days ago. :chin:

I've never been a spirits guy, so not a lot of help there. I do know if you want to taste a spirit in a way to savor it and maybe analyse it a bit, yo...

Err, okrrr.

Yew w0t m8?

You're just eating raw onion on bread? We need to talk.

You're not close.

Kendrick has no peers. Best album of the year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxNXkI94tbY

I'm glad you asked. This is The Foodbox, after all. Leftovers: A sort of one pot thingy of couscous, chicken thighs, chorizo, jalepenos and onions wit...

Thinking mine's going to be "Don't talk to me, poser!"

Thanks, I'll check that out. I'm trying to deepen my understanding of Islam.

Yes. It’s a religion that’s gone through many phases; our western perception of it is not an accurate picture of what it’s been for the majority of it...

Yeah, that’s definitely what happened and the reason why blasphemy isn’t tolerated.

No problem. I know you're coming from a good place here. Rushdie getting stabbed is upsetting to anyone with a moral center and a pulse. I feel it too...

Emoji affirmed.

I suggested I would laugh at a "Shia mainstream" because it's like asking about a Coptic Christian mainstream. It's a niche religious position, so the...

W0t? If the the OP had read "mainstream Shia Muslim theology" I would have laughed.

Sunni's are the vast majority, so the answer to the question of whether the attack was consistent with mainstream Islam is no.

:up:

:cheer: my favorite from him by far. Addictive, a fever-dream pace, hilarious, flamboyant, disturbing, horrifying all in one. And pretty damn short.
