Aah, shit–the Independent has archived the article I linked to above. Now I can’t cut & paste the excerpt that made me smirk. Damn their eyes! So don’t bother clicking my link 2 posts above.

Honest to God, Marq, this is like the fifth time I’ve read that article, because it is damned funny, and I still couldn’t pinpoint the funniest sentence. There are a lot of winners in there.
The cool thing is, squid penises are actually at the end of one arm. So pretty much anything they do would be seriously frowned upon by Dr Dobson.

I know I'm about the last boi standing in this thread, so just for that I'm steering the discussion back to squid sex! This article has the single funniest sentence in it that I have read this year, Anybody care to guess which one it is?

I was trying really hard not to say “closet” in that last post, FWIW.

Ha! Sidhe, that's comedy! Having a strange girl walk up and introduce herself as a "fag hag" really wouldn't phase me much at this point in my life, inspite of the implication that I must be the "fag." I'd probably say something stupid, like, "Oh-I've been looking to get me one of those!" Then everything would be fine. Unless, that is, I later found your housemate lurking in my garage or behind my DVD shelf. That'd just be creepy!

I have a longtime friend who invites himself over on a regular basis for Spam dishes. He’s a freak, though, we all accept that.
He’s also, incidentally, gay, and shortly after my newest housemate (newest–it’s been eleven months, *sigh*) moved in, he came over one day to conspire with me about various things while I cooked at him. She stuck her hand out at him, and introduced herself, I am not kidding, as a fag hag. First thing out of her mouth.
He panicked and dragged me out of the house. We went out to dinner. He continues to avoid her, for fear she will try to tag him or put him on the shelf with her Beanie Babies or something.
This isn’t relevant, really, but is something you and the rest of the Sadly, No! community might keep in mind if you decide to come for dinner.
My housemates are tragically somewhat inclined to try to sniff my guests’ crotches and hump their legs, metaphorically speaking.

I apologize for that image. I blame the Bush economy for the fact that these two live with us, frankly.

D. Sidhe, you’re just trying to get out of inviting the entire S,N! commentary community over for dinner, and don’t think it’s not working! ;-)
Seriously, though, that’s why I prefer preparing my own food individually. The only downside of that is that there are many recipes that aren’t easy to scale to single servings.

I prefer to think of it as a logical outgrowth of Stir Fried Random.
After all, if all the elements are edible separately, they must be edible together.

Honestly, over the years, I suspect some of my housemates do this sort of thing in hopes that they’ll be banned from cooking duties. Fat chance. The one who’s come closest may get it for a tendency to dump half a bottle of Prego sauce over a huge bag of spaghetti, or to marinate chicken wings and thighs in a bottle of soy sauce for fifteen minutes before baking them.
Even I have my limits.

However, the Refuser’s Duty rule is invoked about once every two months, believe it or not only rarely on account of something like Spam & Velveeta Quiche–”The first one to refuse to eat the prepared meal pays for the pizza”.
It’s a lot more likely to happen around payday, I’ll say that much.

I have to say I don’t actually remember the most disgusting thing I’ve ever eaten. But remember that in my home Spam Stroganoff and Corn Dog Lasagna and Chicken Nugget & Tater Tot Stir Fry are just a normal evening, hardly worthy even of mention, and perhaps it’s worth recalibrating “disgusting” a bit.

I *will* say that adding mustard to boxed generic Macaroni and Cheese to even out the yellow color was not as bad an idea as it probably sounds.

This might be the most disgusting thread ever. Probably the most disgusting thing I ever ate was vegemite, which I realize can’t compete with many of the entries above.

I was shocked to hear that you would voluntarily eat okra — and like it! — but I suppose deep-fried scorpions might be even more disgusting.

Bwayh, what’s with this “okra pods in a pakora-wakame batter” and fryin’ in some kind of light oil? ‘Round these parts, fried okra is fried okra. Yew just dips it in yer milk-n-egg, dredge it in yer flour-n-cornmeal, and fries it in yer melted Crisco. Sheesh. Yew lib’rul elites takin’ good ol’ plain eatin’ and makin’ it all hoity-toity-like, prob’ly drunk some kinda elitist chardonnay with it, ’stead of a can of Pabst or Miller.

My personal collection:
Duck tongues, chicken stomach, seasnake, ray, donkey, sea urchin,…
(duck tongues are kinda pain in the ass to eat and ray tastes somewhat…unusual, but otherwise that stuff is really delicious)

BTW, speaking of okra, I make an excellent gumbo.
