Well, no not really. I have the Asus HE1000 that also has that "pinch-spread finger motion" thingy......and I've never been able to make it work. Thats why the first thing I did was plug in a wireless mouse....

Dumb fingers.

Try out an iPad in a store some time. I didn't need one either, until I actually felt how well it worked.

Yeah, okay, so I'm an apple fan-girl.

Squid's pretty well known around Oz, in both fish-and-chip shops ("I'll have calamari-and-chips, thanks") and restaurants ("Build me a tower of organic food stuffs that Babel would be envious of, and drizzle the perimeter of the plate with an aged balsamic reduction"). It's just another "fish" in the sea (that tastes delicious).

Wot weateallthepies sed. It's truly delicious when cooked right...salt-and-pepper squid and some good rough-cut chips on the bank of the rivermouth, watching the sun set over the estuary and river and behind Cooroy and the Hinterland...glorious.

This "Warrant"s a salacious song running through my head, as I once again take badgoodDeb out of context for my own amusement.

If you ever visit Greenville, SC - go to Soby's - a wonderful restaurant that makes a calamari appetizer that quite literally melts in your mouth. Very lightly breaded & lightly crisped!
I used to have a phobia about eating tentacles but this made a convert our of me. I just had plates of this for my meal!

BAD badgoodDeb!!!

Stop eating the squid!

I'm going trolling.

Can I go back to being GOOD badgoodDeb if I make you a cherry pie? (Billy Boy, Billy Boy)

Marc - I don't think I know any salacious verses! Unless yours is a different song.

kindlekitten · 09-21-2010, 08:09 PM

my aunt makes the BEST cherry pies in the WORLD! and makes the crust from scratch! it is SO flakey! just perfect!

I first had squid in Germany and loathed it. I've since had it done really well at a bunch of different places. like Pooh said, practically melts in your mouth!

recluse · 09-21-2010, 08:13 PM

I know dirtier Christmas carols than that song.
My favorite is "Mistress For Christmas"

Hey, cool, I just used my new "SoundHound" app on my android phone to look at those salacious lyrics. I'm giggling, but I'd better not quote them here or I might get my hand slapped.

Highly recommend SoundHound, though.

My mouth is watering and I'm thinking of how to describe my escalating desire for a cherry pie. Cherry pie = orgasmic and blissful romantic love. Okay, scratch that. I'm headed to a bakery. There must be one open now, right?

recluse · 09-21-2010, 08:23 PM

I saw a squid (Humboldt?) eat a fisherman's face on Discovery once. Raw.

I laughed.

I think KK is pretty flakey.

I like apple pie.
My sister makes a good one.

Sometimes, late at night, I can hear the moon breathing.

I can't eat mashed potatoes anymore.

Perhaps one needs to be brought up on Benny Hill and Are You Being Served? to see that none of those lyrics are anything but salacious. Of course, most everything is salacious in my head, so it's good to have a (mostly reliable) filter between it and my communication output centres.

Personally, I like a good meat pie with sauce.

Cheers,
Marc

I actually played with one in store and was still convinced I didn't need one, or would at least wait for the 2nd gen to come out. It was only the third session in the store that finally convinced me!

(Some might say I kept deliberately going back to play with the iPads, and endlessly quizzing two colleagues who have them as a ploy to convince myself sooner rather than later to get one. I would call those people cynical. And probably right

)

I'm either fortunate or unfortunate (depends on how you look at it) that I both work with and know quite a few people who were similarly brought up (you missed the Carry On films, though). It does mean that when we're in the right frame of mind almost anything can be taken as salacious innuendo.

I prefer a good bit of sausage, personally.
