sprouts: sauteed in a little balsamic vinegar and served with chestnuts. They are then edible.

Sprouts:
Not edible, just in case it's really your holy guardian angel you're eating.




At least, that's my excuse.

What is a time-sprout anyway, I'm too lazy to go Googling.

In that case, hit amazon.com and order everything ever written by Robert Rankin (The curse of the voodoo handbag is a particularly good Barry the Time Sprout book)

Well said BK.
I think he first appears in one of the Armageddon Trilogy (Possibly "Armageddon, The Musical") but he has had quite an interesting career.

John Prescott.

He was on TV tonight - the Paranormal channel. A play called 'The Veil,' made in 1958 and also starring Boris Karloff. Spooky.

Full marks, skids! Well done!

Now, for your next question: Elvis Presley pulls his face off, in *which* R.R. book?

......and then totally ignored while you have a pizza.


The old bushman's recipe fort cooking a galah is:

Put a pot of water on a fire, throw in a galah and a rock. When the rock is soft throw away the galah and dringk the water. [There are variations on this recipe for all sorts of Australian animals but in general they are not worth eating.]

(Just having got back from a hot and sweaty multiple day hike in the mountains)

I saw lots of burnt damper bread. Strangely the milo flavoured one wasn't popular.

Damper bread? Galahs? Elvis?

You are right, this thread hasn't mentioned chocolate for ages. Unless you count milo.

I don't care what anyone says. There's only one real villain in fiction.

Two words: Big Brother.

My favorite by far.

Oh come now, does Moriarty count for nothing? Or Prince Humperdinck? Or James the Giant Kumkwat?
