I'm not a fig plucker nor a fig plucker's son, but I'll pluck figs till the fig plucker comes.0

I like figs. They're good. I do not like fig newtons. They're monstrously fattening little gut bombs. And they don't taste like figs.
Why don't fig newtons taste like figs?0 -
I believe I need to go out and buy me some figs. I have no idea what they "really" taste like. All I've had are the newtons. How does one select a fig? Do you buy them in the fruit section? How does one prepare said fig?0

Figs make me always think of dates. I loves me a good date bar.

They sell them in the fruit section, usually packaged in a cutesie round arrangement in this little plastic container. Local fresh is better when they're in season of course.I believe I need to go out and buy me some figs. I have no idea what they "really" taste like. All I've had are the newtons.

Prepare? Well there are a jillion recipes that use them, but they're delicious just as picked. Firm, sweet, with a pebbly-seedy texture similar to a dried strawberry. They do remind me of prunes, but better. My mom had a beautiful fig bush next to her porch that probably produced 100# of fruit a year. Miss those, and miss my mom.0 -

Casper wrote this on a different post "If you woke up and somebody had shaved one eyebrow off - would you do the other one yourself to regain symmetry, or would you walk around with one whiel waiting for the missing to grow back in? "
I laughed so hard when I read this because I have quite the story about this topic. Many years ago when I was much younger and much more stupid, my boyfriend at the time and I were at a memorial day party and got very drunk. He ended up passing out early sitting upright in a chair and the rest of us continued drinking. As the night went on, someone thought it would be a great idea to shave my bf's eyebrow off and well, in my inebriated state I agreed. So we shaved the eyebrow and drew it back in with a squiggly line in black marker. When we woke up the next morning, I was mortified. How do I explain to my bf that I partook in shaving off one of his eyebrows? He was, with good reason, SO pissed! He's also had fairly bushy eyebrows so it was extremely noticeable. Well to try to save the relationship, I allowed him to shave one of my eyebrows off in return. He decided to shave off his other one so he was evened out, but I decided to just leave the other one alone since my bangs are about that length and covered it fairly well. It took 2 months for our eyebrows to grow back in. We looked so ridiculous.0 -
Who was the first person to eat a raw oyster? How did he manage to lie to the next person to get them to try them?0

I just spoke to a person who had such a thick Australian accent that I could barely understand them! It seemed like he was grunting too instead of answering yes or no. Weird. :huh:0

We started doing this about 5 years ago. Couple times a year. First few times, I was always looking on the internet, trying out new recipes, etc. Also buying specialty dishes. I would try different stuff on my family for weeks leading up to the event.
Got a complete pantry full of different dishes now and about 35 different recipes. I am only trying out one new one this time; the Japanese Summer Roll.0 -
Why is it that I have no problem biting into a nice juicy steak or ham sandwich, but I actually start to feel sad when I see roadkill?0

We only care about the "cute" animals. Everybody get their panties in a wad over the poor Dolphins getting caught in the Tuna Nets. What about the freakin' Tunas?0 -
For those of you that are 1/2 blind like me and can't see distance, the fireworks can be especially awesome this weekend for you. Last year at the fireworks, my glasses were dirty so I took them off to clean them and while I was cleaning I looked up and was so amazed at what I saw. All of the firework sparks had multiplied to 20X their size so each spark was a big ball of color...each one! It was the best light show I'd ever seen and can't wait for Sunday! I never used to care about fireworks until now.....now I'm so excited to go. And my boyfriend is in the same boat with his vision, so both of us are looking forward to it. I wish I had taken my glasses off years ago! It really is SO cool!0

I guess I feel more somber today. I was just thinking about all of the people in the world going through struggles right now like those who have lost their jobs or homes or spouses. How fortunate and blessed I am to have 3 beautiful children, a husband who loves and cares for me and a roof over my head. In comparison, the rest of the things in life seem trivial and unnecessary. It's easy to forget how much we truly have when we are always so consumed with wanting what we don't. I thank God for everything I have and don't want to forget how quickly things can change.0

What power must the American auto industry have if it can keep all the 'small' cars that are so succesful in Europe (saw a zillion of them many were extremly nice) from coming to the U.S.? When did the consumer/citizen lose control of this country??0

Never had control. There was only ever an appearance of control. At least in my lifetime.0

Why do people act like they are at an outdoor picnic when they go out to eat? They let their kids run wild and they all talk like they are outside at the park instead of inside at a restaurant that other people also are paying money to be at?? And when you tell them to STFU they act all put out and stuff and then you have to wait for them in the parking lot and run them down with your Hummer (and backup over them several times!!)0
