Though at some points in time we may have called it freedom toast :P

French toast is (to my mind, anyway) bread dipped in a mixture of beaten egg, milk, and cinnamon, and fried. Cinnamon optional, I suppose, but the milk is a necessity.

My family has never added milk, but we do add egg and 3 other ingredients. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and the secret one that I'm sworn to secrecy about. *G*

apple, of the lower case variety?

Nice guess. But, fruit isn't the answer. :^P

42 is the answer.

Unfortunately, the question is "What is 6 times nine?"

I always thought French toast was something different. Although I may have been thinking of Melba toast, now I come to think of it.

I hear, was invented for some weight conscious singer. Thin toast. No eggy.

~Mori

I've decided that in my home, we are calling it "eggy bread" from now on. Just as we now call grated parmesan "shake-y cheese". Now all we need is a new term for syrup. Ideas?

~Mori

I thought that was chocolate?

I believe chocolate is an analogue of heaven, which could be the same as a state of mind. Depends.

Or alternately, mapley blood. sugary goo?

I love Mike!

Tree guts, as variation on tree juice. That's sure to get kids who are in their "love disgusting things" phase to ask for it by name.

fly bait.

and girls have the buns?

Is this what you're trying to say Monk?
I need to know, for my wedding night. No one told me anything about it yet.

~Mori

ummmm....no. I don't think it ever crossed our minds to take our entendre outside of a bakery. Interesting....

Can I touch your bagel?

it's time for you to explain the "so ... it goes under the bay???" thingy. And it better not involve poop.

~Mori

We here at In Passing like to use the phrase "So, it goes under the bay" as a distractionary device. A quick change of subject. It's from a long ago post for which I'm too lazy to go searching. Don't pay any attention when Monk asks you to free the hamsters and/or press Alt+F4 in order to accomplish some html tag or something. Just tell him to go stuff his froot bat.

Monk, I need to have my head examined for even clicking on that link, let alone, reading the damn thing. Mr Man, however, busted a gut (no pun intended).

The original "under the bay" is here.

Ah, thanks Peegee!! I knew somebody would do my dirty work. *G*

Ah I get it ... and inside joke.
Hilarious! You spelled fruit "froot". Do you just find that spelling amusing, or is that another inside joke?
I have so much to catch up on.

~Mori

The answer is: both

Please insert a quarter to get another IP inside joke tidbit.

*clink, swoosh*

~Mori

Geez, I'm on the spot now...
So I'll pick one that involves me, since I am selfish like that.

Ok, if intelligirly comes by again, you may hear me mention "my vwife". At one time, someone suspected that we were really the same person, as we share some common interests. (Language studies, theater, others)
At first, we were each other dopplegangers. (Myth of Germanic provenance, for spirits/creatures that look exactly like oneself.)

At one point, someone had the idea that we were "virtually married" - I can't remember exactly how that came about. It may have been my idea, which would explain why it is nonsensical. So, from "virtual wife", I abbreviated it to "vwife".

The other folks may remember better tidbits.
Or, there's always CITYBagel. :)

Hamsters freed. What next?

~Mori

Monk has expressed a preference for all freed hamsters to be worn under snug cashmere sweaters.
(The original usage for "hamster" was "Is that a hamster in your pocket, or are you glad to see me?" but has since morphed into a more feminine reference. I'm sure peegee will look this up for you, if you like.)

The other part of this was that the thread immediately preceeding or following the above referenced thread (not sure which) had a reference to "intentional jiggling". Both quotes were posted on the same day. Since both had sexual innuendoes attached, Monk combined them to make "hamsters" into a reference to boobs.

I feel so ... dirty

~Mori

Dirty is a state of mind *g*

Yeah, just pass it on to the grad student with too much idle time on his hands. I couldn't find an exact origin, but feed "hamsters site:www.inpassing.org" into google and you'll get loads of references. Also I'm not entirely sure that Monk would insist that freed hamsters be worn under snug cashmere sweaters...

Monk'll take 'em any way you want to offer them, I'm sure. Preferably in some sort of naughty librarian packaging would be my guess for favorite, though.

Next topic: pastries. *G*


I'm Apple, and I approve this message.

Are each and every one of you insane, or have I taken too much migraine medication? ;)

Uhm... I like croissants.
Discuss.

~Mori

was about one girl asking another, "Can I touch your bagel?" This immediately generated lots of ribald comments, basically to the effect that girls have "bagels". Someone commented that then boys must have "croissants". It degenerated from there.

Nah, not insane. Perhaps a prolonged exposure to each other has let some of us become... slightly idiosyncratic ? Well, let other people talk of the touching of certain pastries (hey, I like danish *g*), this time I'll just lean back and feed Herbrand some pickled cool points. (do those have an expiry date BTW ?)

I've got to get my fiance in here (we're getting married on the 15th). I need for him to be a part of this. Sometime I tell him this or that about comments made and he says, "you found our people".

~Mori

Good tidings on your upcoming nuptials!

You would be joining a fine tradition of bringing relatives to In Passing...
igirly (steff's sister)
AppleMan (Apple's beau)

There must be others, but those are the most prominent in my memory.

I kinda belong to that too because I came here because of IGirly, and we're kinda like family.

Wow, kinda much?

... now pick up that gun and shoot me in the head. This bride has no idea where her dress is!

~Mori

you're one of usssssssssssss....

hehehe. everybody together now, do the moses-arms-outstretched-"my-people" thingy.

So I'm sitting at work, reading the moses arms comment and realize my arms are slowly outstretching and the look in my eye is getting decidedly crazed and I'm mouthing the words, "My people!!"

I would be more worried if it wasn't my sister that inspired it.

I love Mike!

I think I may have stumbled upon a new way to freak people out in public. Thanks y'all. The next time I am at the grocery store, I may just stand in front of the oranges and proclaim them to be "my people".

~Mori

See, you definitely belong here. We don't have anyone who talks to citrus fruits.


shenme shenme shenme - It's a cat!

None that have admitted to it, as of yet. *G*

I like this ... I look really skinny in here when people comment alot.
