Now, THIS actually sounds good. Maybe. Almost. If I could get up the nerve for that verrrry first bite. Shudders. (see, I'm both interested in the cinnamon part, and scared about how it combines with pickles!)

I used to live in Dillsburg, PA. Where they drop a giant dill pickle on New Years Eve, rather than a traditional ball. Johnny Carson even covered the Dill Drop one year (so I hear; didn't see it).

This recipe sounds about right. Disguised by the red coloring and lack of seeds, you wouldn't recognize these red rings as pickles. If you like spiced apple rings, you'll like these pickles.

I guess I should point out that I love pickles. Always have. Red pickles, dill pickles, bread and butter pickles, sweet pickles.....even Wickles!

Oh what a pickle...

I think he wanted his mask to make him look like "The Joker" from the batman movie!
One other indication you might be right!
But suppose I'm a criminal choosing yes,and he chooses no. Then it'd become a real pain!


Edit: I'm losing the battle here!
Most people want to vote contrary; "yes" in this case!
Normally it would be a given... Most people prefer saying 'no', unless they are told to...
Please! Save the world ad click 'No!'...
No to drugs, no to alcohol! No to pollution... No to voting 'yes'!

I voted No as ProDigit was the first person to make me smile this year (back on 1st January). Maybe I should have given karma for that smile. Um, I guess I can vote No and still give karma.

By passing coincidence, I just finished this moment watching The Dark Knight for the first time...but, no, the mask (or at least what I believe it represents: Hanuman) predates The Joker by about a couple of thousand years, and I believe the Taylor514ce-made avatar itself even predates the movie by at least a couple of months. If ever a poor monkey-face-in-a-propeller-beanie could be put upon to unworthily ask for the generous favour of a paranoid android as a friend, it would ask for Taylor514ce (and a pshrynk to keep things sensible and keep pouring the drinks). The Joker...well, he's just a clown.

Cheers,

I heard he died last year!

Heath Ledger who played the joker in the batman movie (who did a great job personifying a not so black-white evil person), seemingly died last year a couple of months after the recordings of the Batman movie due to a wrong mix of prescription drugs.

He was only 28 when he died ('bout my age).

I usually want to do exactly the oposite of what i'm told not to do, so I would have voted No, except the poll *wanted* me to vote No... So then I looked for "the blue one next to the fish," but it wasn't there. Now I'm stuck... I thought all polls in the lounge had to offer up "all" "none" or "the blue one next to the fish" to help people like me make up our minds.

Or did you just return to the resurrection ship, far away from your homeworld, and get reborn. Are you #1, I know the final 4 are somewhere on MR.
