The trick is not to shovel it.

Streets are icy as fuck today

(Needs a sad snowman smiley tbh!)

Well, it isn't sad, but it certainly isn't happy. I would say it looks dispassionate or aloof. Perhaps slightly non-plussed?

Snow's already melting here. We get enough snow to actually go sledding maybe once every 4-6 years. This sucks.

Well the snow we had here was the most we'd had in 18 years, so EVERY kid that had the day off school was experiencing their first ever play in actual snow (unless they're from another place).

Maybe move the nose to give the mouth more room?

That really sucks. I didn't realize that the UK got so little snow.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 10:57 pm

We used to get a fair bit in the 60's and 70's, but not any more.

Not shoveling it makes it turn into a thick, evil layer of ice that never relents. That's a terrible trick.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Feb 06, 2009 1:39 am

Just forget about it until it melts. Who cares?

Old people that sue you.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Feb 06, 2009 4:19 pm

Sue them back. Sue them for being old or for trespassing. If it's not your property, it's not your responsibility. They can't have it both ways just because they want to.

Sidewalk.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Feb 06, 2009 8:51 pm

I know you were talking about the sidewalk. That's what I'm complaining about. If the sidewalk isn't your property (pretty sure it's not), then it shouldn't be your responsibility either. If it is your property (again, pretty sure it's not). then you should be able to tell people to keep the hell off it. Now, if you go around spraying the sidewalk with a hose when it's below freezing. then they can go ahead and sue you, but otherwise it's a load of BS.

You don't own it, but you're responsible for it. It's better this way. Otherwise the city government would charge some sort of winter sidewalk maintence tax that would be so steep it would blow your mind.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Feb 07, 2009 8:24 pm

Fair enough. It's hard to argue with that one.

Off-topic (why the hell does this thread even have topics now

): I need to take notice and make a thread when I have 12345 posts

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Sat Feb 07, 2009 11:20 pm

We've got a week or so before that happens, I'm sure it'll be fine.

In other news, I opened a bottle of Vimto in the kitchen and it fizzed. With power. I sprayed most of the kitchen and myself with it. Now everything is sticky and I don't want to clean it up

Well, the only real topic we have right now is that we've run out of ways to say we've won, so we've got to talk about something else?

Ouch. Just what are you saying about the activity here?

Or they charge for it, only start plowing a day later because they're always low in their budget and won't hire more people, then just clear away the top half of the snow, crushing the bottom half into ice.

It's all cleaned up anyway. No more innuendo from me for a while.

It's like the British version of Hershey Park. Or maybe Hershey Park is the American version of Cadbury World.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 12:03 am

Never heard of it, but I imagine it being very similar

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 3:35 am

Cadbury needs to make some vegan creme eggs for me. I should probably make some terrorist threat against them. That always gets results!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 7:10 am

I'm sure if they did, they wouldn't be as tasty

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 6:16 pm

If you're feeling particularly industrious, you could make your own

=============================================

Vegan Creme Eggs

1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup vegetable shortening + 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon lecithin
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
4 drops yellow food coloring
2 drops red food coloring
1 (12 ounce) bag dark chocolate chips

Directions
Combine the corn syrup, 1/4 cup shortening lecithin, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Beat well with an electric mixer until smooth.

Add powdered sugar, a little bit at at time and mix by hand after each addition.

Mix until creamy.

Remove about 1/3 of the sugar mixture and place in a small bowl.

Add the food coloring and mix well.

Cover both mixtures and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.

When mixtures are still firm roll a small, marble size piece from the orange filling.

Wrap a small amount of the white filling around the orange.

Form into the shape of eggs and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

Repeat until done and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the candy center is “set”.

Combine the chocolate chips and shortening in a double broiler or ceramic bowl (though a double boiler will make things a lot easier). Melt down and mix well. Take each egg filling and dip into the melted chocolate mixture and return to baking sheet.

Chill the dipped candies in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Repeat the dipping process, chill the candies a second and final time for 2 hours.

Can you make some, and send me them?

Awesome. Thanks for the recipe.

I would if confections weren't such a messy pain in the ass to make. Especially that chocolate dipping part. Though that does remind me I need to send you the mystery box of American food that is not good for you.

Actually, I was in the supermarket yesterday, and there's a "British" section in the international food aisle. There was an entire shelf full of something called "Spotted Dick", and I think I scared some people when I burst out laughing.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 9:08 pm

Wasn't that the thing from King Ralph? I'm pretty sure that whole movie was just a joke about that name anyway.

Yeah, that's a dated pudding dessert thingy that you have with custard.
I always have laughed when I see the name
