I'd been really looking forward to this even for months. However, the chili lost it's appeal when I saw some of the cooks tasting eachother's concoctions right out of the pot. Who taught you mannerless assholes it is OK to dip your spoon in a full pot of chili, taste it, and then dip the same spoon into another pot, over and over. Especially when you know that other people are coming behind you to eat. And we had to pay admission for this! Never again.

From the charity chili cook-off. Nevermind the crime against social norms commited by the cooks at the venue. God only knows what they were up to at home. Who knows what the winning special ingredient was. Hillarious. laugh.gif

So let's stop fucking about, and just declare war on every fucking towelhead. Enough is enough.

Oh, and to those that think I just wrote something racist, I didn't - towelheads of any colour are open game in my book. Diversity.

You joined up just to tell us that?

Excuse my scepticism "ricardo", but deVere have a long history of shill posting on this forum. Their staff pose as satisfied customers and write glowing reviews. If you don't know what a "shill posting" is, read about it on Wikipedia: Shill

As a forum member who joined just eight minutes before making that one single post, Ricardo, your recommendation carries zero credibility. In fact, it has all the hallmarks of a typical shill.

QUOTE (Editor Bob @ Aug 12 2008, 5:43 pm) *
Update:

Via your TT registered email address, Ricardo, I was able to look up your Facebook profile. And through Facebook I can see that you do indeed work for deVere.

Busted, my friend.

The only positive reviews of deVere that have ever been posted to this forum have all been proven to come direct from the company's own employees.

This has been going on for five years or more.

So, I put it to the other readers of TT, would you trust such a deceptive company with your money? You decide.

One of my grandfathers got malaria, shrapnel in his face, and bayoneted in the testicles in WW2, the other got shot down and put in a kraut prison camp. Not in a million years would I trust either of them to run for political office.

QUOTE (bohemka @ Aug 20 2008, 10:30 am) *
I admire your grandfather's testicles, lilplatinum. They've shown some serious strength of character. Considering what they've gone through, yet still being able to provide offspring. Maybe I wouldn't vote for your grandfather, but I would certainly vote for his testicles.

It's 18 months too late, I know, but the "missing a vertical hold" bit struck me as being one of the wittiest things I've ever read on TT.

I am convinced that it will not get better. What's worse is that I have neighbors below who are constanly bickering about being unemployed.
It's hard to leave my window open without hearing all this negative talk. Is it true that unemployment is particularly high here in Berlin?

Dear diary,

I'm not sure if this is not going to be my last entry. I've been crouched down behind the garbage heaps for two days now. The locals seem to have become resistant to the armour piercing rounds that were recommended when we first moved here. The flak jackets are also useless. I took a direct hit from a two day old Brezen yesterday. Food supplies have run low and the local game is shy and impossible to track. The whole city is nothing more than a huge redlight district. Cannibalism is rife. I was approached by an obvious non-local yesterday, persistent, touting some reeking liquid. I shot him twice and he expired before I was forced to comprehend what ever heresy he was mouthing. The body is gone and with it any hope of stew, I think they dragged it off during the night, the every present night. The only relief from the darkness are the trains, they pass constantly , light spilling from windows filled with silent commuters. I have to move while I have the energy to save myself, but the minefields are everywhere. That scraping noise have started again, closer now ...

How a seemingly innocent cooking question

What if a recipe said, fry 2 parboiled, sliced potatoes in a "knob" of butter?

A delightfully vivid description of Munich rush-hour chaos:

QUOTE (sarabyrd @ Oct 7 2008, 8:46 pm) *
The streetcars running from Stachus were hopelessly stuffed. This blond bimbo with stilettos and an immmmmmense suitcase (I think it had her makeup kit inside) pushes into the last open door and plants herself on the yellow line. Of course the expletive door won't close, haul ass out of there and wait for the next one that cannot enter the stop until the one you are blocking leaves! Then three other guys come running up the stairs and jump in as well. Somehow they all fit inside, and I hope they had a good time.

Eleanor Rigby
QUOTE (Pas @ Oct 10 2008, 8:05 pm) *
Toytown Universe

Could make an incredible video game.

The courageous Owain Glyndwr has to rescue Eleanor Rigby from the clutches of the evil BadBob.

On the first level the newbie OG has to collect roast potatoes while trying to find the search function and avoid the rabid MadAxeMurderer. Bonus points for collecting GreenTea and Lavender Rain.

On the second level our OG must attend TTT. Armed with only a hand drawn map from Keydeck he must navigate the horrors of the U-Bahn using as few strips of his streifenkarte as possible. On arrival at TTT he must work out where the group is despite there only being one group of loud pissed up English speakers in the bar. To unlock the next level he has to utter the magic words 'are you Toytown?'

The third level is a corker. OG must collect PopRocks whilst trying to find the legendary Bunny before the Bunny reaches full power and vibrates the level to MonksTown. After finding the Bunny OG must raise it to the sky and then slay the Darkknight with it.

On the final level he must survive Oktoberfest. Nobody really has a clue what goes on on this level but there seem's to be a hell of a lot of cleavage to navigate and there is a 10,000 point bonus for finding a waitress who smiles.

On finding his beloved Eleanor our hero OG can settle down to a lovely evening of Marmite sandwiches and walkers crisps.

This is going to get deleted for being off topic isn't it?

because he put way too much energy into this for it to end up in removed posts oblivion and because I get to be the damsel in distress biggrin.gif

That guy has got WAY too much time on his hands, methinks! But pretty good, nonetheless. He just forgot the part about getting Keydecked when not searching properly.

BING BING BING... Now we get to it. You don't agree with McCain. Thank you. McCain said he would take their word, you don't think it should be so. You think women should subjected to, oh, what's the phrase I'm looking for...

that's it, thank you schizophrenic Conquistador, so nice to talk to you again. Apparently schizophrenic Conquistador and I both think such intrusive exams shouldn't be required on people if they don't want them.

I agree... but "now" Conquistador seems to disagree with you. He thinks it should be required that all rapes are immediately reported, or else the woman would not be able to receive treatment.

I know this, perhaps you can talk some sense into him.

Just to be clear, in your version of this hypothetical world. If a woman did not want to report her rape due any reason of her choosing, but later found out she were pregnant... would she be allowed to have an abortion? Please answer that question.

Help is only a phone call away:

QUOTE (Keefy @ Nov 5 2008, 7:26 pm) *
Well, there's always the Therapeutic Hotline if all else fails...

Hello, and welcome to the Therapeutic Hotline!

If you're compulsive-obsessive, press "1" repeatedly.

If you have multiple personalities, press 2, 3 and 4.

If you're co-dependent, get someone to press 5 for you.

If you're schizophrenic, a little voice in your head will tell you which number to press.

If you're paranoid-delusional, we know who you are and what you want. Just stay on the line so we can trace the call.

If you're manic-depressive, it doesn't matter which number you press. No-one wants to talk to you.

So, being a former Californian who owned two ferrets before moving to Germany, and has two gay sisters, this is a somewhat sensitive subject to me. (...)

If America can elect a black man with the middle name Hussein to the highest office in the nation, why the heck cant California approve gay marriage and legalizing ferrets??

I don't know if there's a separate thread for "best topic titles" - just searched and didn't find anything. But I think these two titles/subtitles are worthy of a special mention:

Where to buy cans of Grünkohl (kale)
I want the world to drop out of my bottom

and

Phoning the Ausländeramt (foreigners' office)
Phoning the unphoneable

I think we should have a title/subtitle category - "India lands nan on the moon" was another great one.

Thanks, Kay, that was a good one. Here it is:
