    Re: The random thought thread

    One of the downsides to living in an area where millions of years ago there was a shallow tropical ocean: lime deposits will clog up your coffeepot in the fullness of time. While it is rather easy to fill the coffeepot with vinegar, then let it sit for a couple of hours, then turn the coffeepot on and let boiling hot vinegar clean the thing out, it turns out that the vapor from boiling hot vinegar can be really uncomfortable if it goes up your nose. So be careful.

    Cool, but like I said, be careful of the vapors then, I found them to be somewhat uncomfortable.

    I have found Thousand Island Dressing far superior to plain ketchup on fries.

    After watching Americans eat hotdogs and mustard on the local TV (iD10t-box) for years, I've finally been converted to eating mustard. I must admit don't like mustard on a hotdog by itself, but when mixed 50/50 with tomato sauce(ketchup), I do like...

    Here every Saturday/Sunday morning in OZ the local charity groups do what is called a sausage sizzle to raise funds for their sporting clubs. A sausage sizzle(BBQ style) consists of a bland sausage (hot dog size) on a single slice of buttered bread with an optional table spoon of cooked onion thrown in.

    When I order a sausage on bread(hot dog) I order the works and put 50/50 tomato sauce and hot English mustard on it.... nice...
    Total cost $2.00 or $4.50 with a can of coca cola thrown in.

    The missus always says "NOOOO! you cannot! have another one"....
