Matricians: Show Your Stuff! (lots of images)

[Fatso]

Dr. Pepper is very good... for about one can's worth. I couldn't finish a bottle of it if I tried.

[Chron]

Which sort, the 16 oz or 2L variety? I can't see downing a whole 2L, but then I like to savor things. Plus, the plastic gives the drink a slightly off taste, and I'd rather have it from a can or fountain (mmm, fountain soda).

I like Dr. Pepper pretty well.

Although I had some cherry Dr. Pepper, tasted the same.

This is because Dr. Pepper is already cherry flavored.

[Johncarllos]

Exactly.

Also, I can down 3 liters of soda.

[Snare]

it shows

[ASR]

ROOT BEER, GENTLEMEN.

That is all.

[Chron]

While I enjoy root beer immensely, it is not birch beer, and it is also not ginger ale.
Or Dr. Pepper, but that was sort of assumed.

[ASR]

I have a truly unhealthy addiction with root beer. I'm a root beer connoisseur. I may not be able to tell if I'm drinking Pepsi or Coke, but I can without a doubt tell you if I'm drinking A&W, Barqs, Mug, or IBC.

[Johncarllos]

I can too.

My favorite is IBC, with Barqs at the bottom.
Mug is different than A&W, but about as good.
If I had to choose, A&W> Mug.

[Chron]

JC is a man who knows his root beer, that's plain to see!

[Johncarllos]

Just my preferences.

Anyone who disagrees about IBC doesn't know anything though.

[Majikn]

Between Coke and Pepsi I will go with Coke. But I tend to go with root beer if it's a fountain drink. If it's the canned stuff, I like coke a lot more. But I find that it's only good when I'm washing something down with it. Like chicken wings.

20oz.

Coca-Cola is the only drink I could down 2 litres of in any reasonable amount of time, besides water and ginger ale.

I don't know if I've said this before but in my first three weeks at A&W I drank enough root beer for several lifetimes and really can't have root beer more than twice or three times a year now without finding it utterly disgusting.

[Chron]

I haven't been to one of the actual restaurants in years now.
I remember the food being OK.

The IBC restaurant was way better, but then it's sort of a fancy place.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Oh yeah!
I pimped my media room a bit.
I just took a picture of a little bit of it to show something to someone.
Can you guess what it was?

[Chron]

DUH
UH

THE HAT

[Captain Sanoguchi]

That's a pillow, dumbass.

[Majikn]

I saw a video on youtube of this 10 inch vinyl Luigi figure and it was Nintendo licensed and it was imported from Japan and it was so hot

I kind of want it and I kind of don't.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

That pillow had a Japanese price tag...
And it's a damn good pillow, I just put it up on one of the speakers whenever I'm not using it.

[ChaosVortex]

Can you guess what it was?

thats a lovely book on that there shelf

[Johncarllos]

Is that a Bose speaker?

[ASR]

I can too.

My favorite is IBC, with Barqs at the bottom.
Mug is different than A&W, but about as good.
If I had to choose, A&W> Mug.

Local homemade brew > Local Color's Rugrats (out of business) > IBC > A&W > Barqs > Mug.

I hate Mug.

[Vinchenz Rock]

When I used to drink Pop (yes, that is the correct way of saying it), I couldn't tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke.

Now, it's been 11 years since I've drank pop, though, so my mind have convinced me that they both taste the same.

[Chron]

That's a pillow, dumbass.

It's not a hat?
How #####ing useless.

Get out of my sight.

[Mikero]

Root beer.
Not a fan.

Pepsi's the one that feels the need to rip on Coca-Cola, that says that they can't handle the competition with the good brand.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

And I'm not a softie about anything. When you come to Ottawa I'll show you chicken wings that will make you want to go to the hospital indefinitely, and then I'll eat them. But let's not talk about that 'cause someone will argue "Oh I've had the hottest they were suicide wings and blah blah" when these are, no exaggeration, about 6 times or more hotter and they make you sign a waiver before you're allowed to eat them (and the try to convince you to get something else).

Anyway I can drink Coca-Cola fine, it's fine. I just PREFER Pepsi, dongface.

I've never understood how anyone can claim to like Pepsi, but if you really do then I guess it's OK.

Somebody has to drink it I guess.

I've never understood how people can drink Coke continually and yet continue to operate teeth and taste buds.

I really find it too sugary and too fizzy. Completely drinkable and delicious, of course, but I prefer the subtle differences of other brands this is the dumbest conversation ever.

And yes, I'm starting to think it's just me. Probably has something to do with my sense of smell, or rather my lack of one.

Has to be. The Pepsi-Coke thing I could understand but the Starburst and Skittles pushes it over. Especially Skittles. They're not even close to the same most of the time.

[ASR]

THEY'RE DRINKING FAYGO IN FREAKS & GEEKS

IT'S A MICHIGAN BRAND

OF POP

YOU GUYS

Yeah, I don't know if any of you guys have had Faygo, but everyone here seems to love it. I hate it. Especially Faygo Root Beer. They all taste just a little flatter than their big-brand counterparts.

[saldite]

I see Faygo #####in' everywhere up here.
Our stores are just filled with that #####.
And that's exactly what it is too.
#####.

Ugh...I hate Faygo regardless of its flavouring.
It tastes as cheap as its price.

[ASR]

Yep. Sounds about right.

[Slugkid]

Also, it sounds so weird.
Faygo.
Gay go.
Keiko.

Sounds like a plan, I've always really love spicy food, but I've heard of these places that make you sign the wavier. There's a similar place just outside of Toronto that only cooks 3 at a time, they make you sign the wavier and grant you a free meal and the whole picture on the wall thing if you eat more than one. I'd love to try it, I'm not being cocky, I'd just like to see how I can take the wings. My teach only managed a half of one wing, and this guy's not a pushover when it comes to spicy food.

Anyway I can drink Coca-Cola fine, it's fine. I just PREFER Pepsi, dongface.

That's fine, say that before you talk about Coca-Cola as if it were the Shredder though, dweeb-ass.

Ooh, where do I get these?

[Snare]

Fun fact.

I read Faygo as Fagyo.

Teeheehoo

[ASR]

Aren't you adorable?

[Snare]

Oh sorry, was I talking to you?

No. I wasn't.

[ASR]

YES YOU IS

YES YOU IS

[Mikero]

Wild Wing. Pretty sure the only one is here in the East end, on St. Laurent.

Ask about the "Ring Of Fire".

And yes, I had it. But I got them to put the sauce on the side so I could dip it myself instead of smothering the wings. 'Cause it burns burns burns, the Ring Of Fire (The Ring Of Fire).

Like, the menu has flames and they go from yellow to red obviously. 1 or 2 yellow flame on the menu is basically like a medium to hot at a normal restaurant. "Suicide" wings at other places amount to like, 2 yellow with 2-3 orange flames MAYBE at Wild Wing.

Ring Of Fire was anywhere from 6 to 8 red flames.

[Vinchenz Rock]

St. Laurent, huh? I don't go there too often. If I happen to be there with friends, though, I'll definitely check that place out.

[Mikero]

If you're on St. Laurent you'll probably be at the mall, which isn't really near Wild Wing.

[ASR]

ALRIGHT GUYS.

So, I was organizing my DVD's today.

I organized all my TV-DVD's as well, and I decided to do photo-inventory again.

Lined them all up. Together they're wider than my bed.

Anyway, thought I'd show off again since it's grown considerably and I don't think I've taken photos on this scale before.


All lined up for ya'.















There's some stuff in there that doesn't REALLY belong with the TV DVD's, but I keep them with 'em anyway (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, the South Park movie) because they still fit in with some other stuff and are more important to me.

On the list of TV DVD's to buy, alphabetically:
- 30 Rock [S1-2]
- Breaking Bad [S1]
- Dead Like Me: Life After Death
- Futurama [S1-4 + Movies]
- Six Feet Under [S1-5] (in the mail)
- Undeclared
- How I Met Your Mother [S1-3]
- and basically all future seasons of everything else

I stopped collecting Family Guy and The Simpsons, though I may start up again later. Also, even though only Seasons 1, 2, 6, and 7 of Scrubs are there, I own all seven. It's just that the boxes of 3, 4, and 5 were destroyed, thankfully while the discs were out in one of my pouches. Oh, and I bought Season 1 of Dead Like Me used from Blockbuster so they're in weird cases.

[preventerWIND]

Slammin'..

[Chron]

I stopped collecting DVDs because it's a complete waste of money.

[Mikero]

For someone who doesn't like Family Guy you have enough of it on DVD. I like it enough and I only have the first (worst) season on DVD, because I was a high school kid who had to buy such things.

I think even though it's on all the time, I'm gonna have to get that Seinfeld collection just 'cause.

[ASR]

I enjoy Family Guy, but lately I've grown colder towards it. I'm starting to lighten to it again, though. I bought those a LONG time ago, though. Same with The Simpsons. By long time ago, I mean when only the first 6 Seasons of South Park were for sale on DVD. I remember that for some reason.

And the Seinfeld collection is just... it's REALLY nice. It's a great treat and you're a huge fan so don't feel bad getting it if you can, even though it's always on. It came in a giant fake refrigerator, too! With free magnets, like Fusilli Jerry! I'll take a picture of that sometime. I think I did before. Plus, the Coffee Table Book is great for quick skims and memories.

[Mikero]

Actually I think you already did post pictures of that, which is the main reason I want it.

[Snare]

I really can't tell you how much I hate The Simpsons now. Although some of the episodes in seasons 2~9 are pretty awesome. IF ONLY THEY KNEW WHEN TO STOP.

AND HOMER DOESN'T SAY DOH ANYMORE HE DOES THAT LONG-ASS ANNOYING GROAN. OOOOAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHNNXHHHH

[Slugkid]

Wow, that's right. The groan sucks compared with the D'oh...

[Snare]

It is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord and all shall be put to death!

[Mikero]

Bad cell phone photo but a while back my assistant manager got me this when he was working the anime con on the Quebec side.

[ASR]

That is pretty slick.

[Mikero]

It is. We also got this stuff in the store a couple days before that. These aren't really new or anything though.

Same boss let Sonia, Heather, and I pick from the three (and we each got a star) on him. I got the green mushroom 'cause duh obviously. They have candy in them but the star candy is awful and the green (it's a sour apple or something) is only OK in moderation but makes you sick after a while. I haven't tried red or blue.

[ASR]

...I want the green 'shroom.
