Milk laughs at water

We had milk in bags at my university coop in the US. But yeah, for individual containers, I've mostly had it in Peru (not just cow milk, but soy milk as well).

And for the quiz bowl jocks among us?

For the innocent among us, the Daily Mail is basically a cross between Breitbart and the National Enquirer.

Most typical sandwich in Spain - just bread with fried potatoes omelette. Pretty good, although I prefer at least some tomato for balance.

Hmm, despite going to two state universities, I never realized light beer was better-selling than regular beer. Seems weird to me - the opposite of "manly" for a manly drink.

Gotta say, my sympathy was entirely with the guy. She comes home loaded with packages, and seems to think the price doesn't matter, because she bought it on credit, probably with hefty interest (and it's clear he's specifically warned her about buying more stuff). Getting mad is the natural response, not deserving of

OK, but that's pretty irrelevant. LeBron James is 100% American, but also part black.

Well, I don't know how she defines herself, but she's almost certainly part black.

They showed him a lot on BBC.

Heh, fair enough, not the best wording :)

Well, that's kind of the problem - who wants it in the palm of your hand? I'd rather have it on a big screen with a keyboard and mouse when I'm at home with fast broadband, not poring over a tiny screen on limited mobile pages while I'm in the midst of doing other things. For me, it's almost never worth the hassle and

I've got a modern Samsung bar phone - cost me 10 Euros new, and the battery lasts for three weeks! Funny thing is there were some photos doing the round a couple weeks ago of a Namibian tribeswoman shopping in a supermarket in native dress (as the epitome of the primal), and she had the exact same phone hanging off

Nope, I think it's usually forgetting - you can usually renew books almost indefinitely.

A frozen pizza costs 70 cents (but I usually add some more stuff, not including nutmeg), while I can get a fresh (crappy) restaurant pizza for €1.80, so the economics don't really make sense. But I still have frozen pizzas fairly often.

Not really - as mentioned, Full House has a lot of nostalgia, Transformers apparently a lot, too. Maybe that it's mediocre without being particularly cheesy (I assume - have never seen it).

Great, because if there's a shortage of anything, it's terrible comic book movies.

Well, he was specifically referring to sitcoms - whether that's an important distinction is another matter.

OK, so you personally have different tastes, but you don't understand that most people like a balance of savory and sweet? Peanut butter and jam (yuck, but to each his own), Peking duck with plum sauce, grilled meat with teriyaki sauce, etc.? It just seems either slightly autistic or over-literalistic to say you don't

I mean, honey is pure sugar, maple syrup is pure sugar. Hell, sugar is pure sugar, and it's delicious.
