little debbie snacks ERM.. WHO?
i doubt that there is actually a little woman named debbie who bakes these things, but they are a line of cheap snack cakes. the nutty bars are probably the best.

hot pockets WHAT?
crust on the outside. shit on the inside. like a calzone, but worse.

di giorno frozen pizza PASS
"It's not delivery. It's Di Giorno!"

zingers
Hostess snack cake. it's a twinkie with frosting. some are chocolate.

twinkies
sponge cake with white creamy filling. virtually indestructible

as for your british stuff:
Rice pudding YUP!
Shepherds Pie um...beef filling and potato crust?
Wotsits Whatsthat?
Wonker Bars um...no. they sound crazy, though. what are they?
coco pops cereal?
Salt & Shake seasoning for meat?

how'd i do?

Wotsits are a cheese snack. Light puffs of wheat type stuff. Shaped like little sausages.

Wonker Bars are Willie Wonker's bars from the chocolate Factory.

Coco pops, yes chocolate rice crispies

Salt and shake are crisps, you call em chips? plain, no flavouring and you get a little bag of salt to put on them yourself.

Manda

ahhh...so you're stuff isn't so much different from ours...

hey, what happened with your encounter at work?

did you have to shove your notes in front of her face and go, "Read!" [followed by, "you f*****g bitch" ]

The stuff is all the same, just yours is called better names.

A colleague mentioned my concern to the woman involved, who has been as nice as pie to me since. An encounter has not happened.

cool.

nice as pie?

we say as easy as pie.
or piece of cake.

as a newcomer to this forum i think it is my responsibility to guide this conversation back to were it began (the main reason being i have something i want to say, and i dont want to look like an idiot, u know starting talking about death when u r all talking about food)

we mosly fear death, for the fear of wats to come, espially some reliogious people for they think they might end up in hell, non relioges people r afraid of there being nothing or even worse, something, so they want to hang on to wat is familier to them, they dont want unexpected death for they r all settled in here.

death is the scariest thing that everybody has to face in life

why?

because it is absolutely unknowable
becuase it is absolutely inescapable.
because it is a state that we cannot imagine. we cannot imagine not existing, not having a consciousness, not being self-aware

petey out

Well put.

people r sad when someone days so they want to believe in people like john edward who say the comunicate with the dead, it puts people at rest for they know that there is an afterlife, i myself dont believe in it at all

Many of these people who say they communicate with the dead are self confessed cranks anyway.

Amanda

i dont know if u get this show were u live (wat country do u live in?) its called crossing over with john edward, i havnt heard anything like that about him, lots of people believe in him

I dunno whose show it was, but they showed you behind the scenes, they were questioning people beofre the show and had background info on the recently passed.
The name you mentioned rings a bell, but dunno if it was him for definite.

Amanda

here's the crackpot
http://www.johnedward.net/

and i can't stand shows like that because a lot of idiots actually believe in that crap. i am always reminded that there is no limit to human stupidity.

i totally digged this one South Park episode where they totally ripped on john edwards and everyone who believes in that crap.

that's what i LOVE about south park. those 2 creators are totally NON-mystical, NON-spiritual, logical/rational, and FUNNY dudes.

That's the guy.
He confessed it was a set up.
Amanda

did ya see the south park episode?
edwards got nominated for "Biggest douchebag in the Universe"!

I am afraid I did not see that one. :O(

I will have to keep an eye open for it.

damn, i cant believe i missed that one, that sounds really funny, i am pretty sure they still say he is genuine here in australia, i didnt see anything about him saying it was a set-up, but i dont watch his show, how does he set it up? does he just pay each of the people a few hundred bucks to be quite? or, does he sneek through there homes and see wat happened in there past?
