I'd be brushing my teeth fifteen times a night. Sign me up for a few cases.

Boop-Oop-a-Doop! I fell in love with Betty at first sight and my love for her shines bright even after 50 years.

Great Cartoon! Thanks Snorzel

Yeah I love old cartoons. Cuphead is an upcoming video game inspired by classic cartoons. I want to get it when it comes out.

Can anyone suggest some good ones or maybe what seems to have influenced this game?

 

[Dedpop]

Pac-Man & early Mickey Mouse obviously.

 

[Snorzel]

Yeah I could see those influences

Best headline ever. I just had to look for more info, found this on gawker: http://gawker.com/5572007/lady-in-s...-for-flirting-with-man-dressed-as-a-candy-bar

Thanx for that.
The story is even more funny than the headline.

No.

That would be:

Say what you like about The Sun, its headline writers are comic geniuses (when they're not busy tapping your 'phones and hacking your emails).

No.

I'm lost, what does that actually mean? It seems like a random assortment of words.

TIL: Canola oil comes from turnip rape.

Soft of. Turnips are Brassica rapa, and vegetable oil is made from the seeds from that plant. Most Canola is actually from Brassica napus which is a hybrid of B. rapa and B. oleracea (the latter of which has been cultivated into cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and several other garden veggies.) It is known as rapeseed oil, but usually called Canola (from Canada where much of it is grown, and olea, which is latin for oil, or at least olilve oil which is what the Romans were familiar with) because of the stigma attached to the word rape. The relationships between the various cultivated crucifers is complex and interesting (at least to horticulture nerds like myself.) Google the 'Triangle of U' for more info. Anyone skeptical of GMO crops might want to look into what we have done with the many crucifers we enjoy eating purely through selective breeding and hybridization. Nothing that resembles most of them exists naturally. All this breeding has resulted in the scourge that is the Brussels Sprout though...ick

The truth, finally.
Glad I'm still alive to read it.

Pro tip, wait until after the first frost before harvesting. It makes them sweeter, but I'm still not a fan, even though I grow my own from seed every year.

Brussels sprout CAN'T be eaten by normal people.

Most of my family think they are great. Even I can almost almost enjoy them if they are super fresh and picked at the right time. They are also one of the few garden veggies that can be picked in the winter months. They produce well as long as you can keep the cutworms and harlequin bugs at bay. I almost enjoy them is the best I can do though. I also apologize for turning this into a gardening thread. Dedpop I rely on you to change the subject to something more fun.
