@The_Baron I'm surprisingly not at all annoyed by it. While the amount of posts is a bit daunting, the exuberance is refreshing. We can be a bit intimidating to some newer users and this kid just tossed all that aside and said what they wanted to say - even taking some advice from other users, without being offended. I think @legendornothing will end up being around for a long while and that's fine by me. We could use a bit of shaking up once in a while - especially when that shaking up is just excitement and not drama.
And THAT'S how the 3 legged stool was invented. The British weren't willing to give leg end, so the Founding Fathers had to improvise on their chairs which had a broken leg.
@mikibell Oh, I can be creepy. And when I'm not creepy, I'm often in the almost-creepy outskirts of awkward. And I'm usually awkward. I like to think I've got range and it's kinda nice to know that I've surprised you. :-)
That being said, I hope you're not too disappointed and I really don't like to generate negative feelings. So I'm sorry if I've done that. :-(
Yes, and mostly I'm a jumble of conflicting emotions.
@joelmw I love your posts! You are very eloquent -- I am jealous of your skill to verbally paint a picture! Hannibal Lecter just doesn't jive with your persona.
BTW.. is @christinewas alright?? Haven't seen many of her posts lately..
Thank you for your kind words. I'm somewhat sorry to say that there's a little bit of Lecter in me.
As for Christine, she and I have some similar inclinations, owing to the DNA and longterm relationship (I was going to say "her having been subject to my parenting," but I'm pretty sure that it works both ways and I didn't want to imply otherwise; and I can admit, my part of the parenting was an often-nebulous thing, though there are a few positive activities I'll proudly take credit for doing somewhat consistently).
Anyway, I think you'll find that she's here in waves and in selected conversations. I was going to comment on some other stuff, but I don't think it would be appropriate for me to speak on her behalf. I think she's been laying low, for whatever reasons, lately. Also, I know that being goat takes a lot out of a person (especially our kind of person, the kind that she and I are), and I think she's still recovering; it took me a few months to come back. She's doing pretty well otherwise though. She posted a few things on the Facebook about some football game involving some cheaters and a guy who does insurance commercials. Not sure what the big deal is, but apparently it's a big deal to some people.
@joelmw I hope it is the rapscallion part of Lecter that you evince, not the people eating part :)
Ahh these football analogies are going to kill me. At work the other day, one of the guys said "That is like Tom Brady catching an interception." I still haven't a clue if that is even a possibility in the rules of football or whether it is a positive or negative event!
@FroodyFrog The only reason I can think of is that bacon is delicious and it pretty much goes with everything and makes most things better. Hell, even steak, one of my favorite things in the world, is better with bacon. So is chicken. Broccoli too. Mushrooms are another one of my favorite enhancements and near-perfect flavors and mushrooms are better with bacon. Don't get me started on the heavenliness of mushrooms and bacon. I could go all Bubba here, but I think you get the point. Other than that, no reason that I can tell.
@joelmw because it is deeeelicious! My roommate and I got several kinds of butter and tried them all at the same time on something plain and this was the favorite!
@DaveInSoCal I'm not sure even bacon can save Brussels sprouts, but I guess they'd have to be better with bacon than without. I'll stick with bacon and broccoli.
@chellemonkey I think it's also grass fed and supposed to be healthy or some shit like that. I don't know the details. That's one of many things that she keeps track of that I really don't, because I think it's a pain in the ass, she seems to enjoy it and I trust her. Not that I'm suggesting that food preparation or nutritional knowledge is a womanly thing. Both of my brothers are excellent chefs (and one still does it professionally).
@joelmw Oh, bacon and garlic transform brussel's sprouts into magic. Just sautee them instead of putting them in water or steam and they become delicious. It's boiling them to death that gave them such a bad reputation in the first place.
@Thumperchick That's true of all vegetables. Boiling anything waterlogs it, and waterlogged food is shit. Unless you're dealing with dehydrated food like pasta or beans or mushrooms, boiling is the enemy. Steaming is a great backup plan; and some sort of sauté/panfry/sweat is how it's done.
i'm going with leg end.
Leg end.
Well back when I used to play minecraft we had a faction called legend or nothing. That's when r the name originates
@legendornothing i'm still going with:
Ah, I thought he was French-Irish: Le Gendorn O'Thing
I don't care.
@Barney Let me try again: Is the answer purple leg end or purple nothing?
@MEHcus @Barney
I was about to look for an image to go with that, but then i realized what those pictures of purple legs would contain.
@MEHcus Definitely nothing that's purple.
I wonder if T Humper Chick is getting annoyed by all these leg end posts.

@Thumperchick But I don't think I have the motherly instincts that you do.
@medz Did you bring enough for everybody???
@Moose
And THAT'S how the 3 legged stool was invented. The British weren't willing to give leg end, so the Founding Fathers had to improvise on their chairs which had a broken leg.
@Moose well quite frankly it wouldn't be death it would just be nothing
I really wanna post spoilers, but I won't, at least for the moment.
@joelmw It's what's for dinner.
Hey, @MEHcus: my answer's burning too. Ha.
@joelmw ok...love Sir Anthony, but that is still a creepy gif...not something I expect from you..
@mikibell Oh, I can be creepy. And when I'm not creepy, I'm often in the almost-creepy outskirts of awkward. And I'm usually awkward. I like to think I've got range and it's kinda nice to know that I've surprised you. :-)

@mikibell Yeah, rest assured, cannibalism isn't something I'm remotely interested in. Well, maybe remotely metaphorically, but not actually literally.
Of course, there's this. It's over-posted (hell, even just by me), but it needs to be here too.
@joelmw sigh and so a meme falls further
@legendornothing Here's another of our favorite old chestnuts, young padawan. I think it kind of explains itself.
@joelmw hah
@joelmw
Irk started this.
Leg End. Thing needs a friend.
@ceagee handend?
Someone suggested these might Leg Ends. They might be cold ones.
@heartny
Uh, Leg End please. ...No, Cake! Cake!
(I was told there would be cake)
@placeholder
Did they specify what kind?
@placeholder "Cake or death?"
@FroodyFrog Peanut butter and bacon, the only kind of cake worth having of course.
@carl669 @FroodyFrog @placeholder I heard there would be nachos.
@placeholder
Why do people feel the need to put bacon in everything they eat?
(After watching Cutthroat Kitchen last night, this is bothering me even more)
@FroodyFrog The only reason I can think of is that bacon is delicious and it pretty much goes with everything and makes most things better. Hell, even steak, one of my favorite things in the world, is better with bacon. So is chicken. Broccoli too. Mushrooms are another one of my favorite enhancements and near-perfect flavors and mushrooms are better with bacon. Don't get me started on the heavenliness of mushrooms and bacon. I could go all Bubba here, but I think you get the point. Other than that, no reason that I can tell.
@FroodyFrog Good butter is like that too.
@joelmw
I don't really use butter anymore when i prepare foods.
@joelmw So what I'm hearing here is that we need to invent Mushroom Bacon Butter, is that correct?
@placeholder Yes, please. And thank you.
@FroodyFrog I'm sorry. I don't know if it matters, but my wife will only use this kind of butter. She's mostly anti-dairy otherwise.
@joelmw because it is deeeelicious! My roommate and I got several kinds of butter and tried them all at the same time on something plain and this was the favorite!
@joelmw could we add some spinach to those mushrooms, bacon, butter and steak?? almost a complete dinner!
@mikibell How did you know that sauteed spinach is another of my favorite foods? Yes. And I'm told it's actually good for us too.
Promises of cake have been known to be untruthful.
@joelmw Bacon and Brussels Sprouts.
@DaveInSoCal I'm not sure even bacon can save Brussels sprouts, but I guess they'd have to be better with bacon than without. I'll stick with bacon and broccoli.
@chellemonkey I think it's also grass fed and supposed to be healthy or some shit like that. I don't know the details.

TL;DR: FUCK BOILING.
@Thumperchick True- I have seen children voluntarily eat brussels sprouts sauteed with bacon.
@Thumperchick I'm willing to believe you're right. Even kale tastes good properly sauteed.
@placeholder The cake is a lie.
(sorry, internet rules specify this answer must appear).
@joelmw image broken, what kind of butter? I’m a butter-holic.
Leg End or Nothing for February Goat.
