The Double Crunch which has a fairly neutral, mayonaisse like sauce and the Tower Burger which is a bit larger and also has a mayonaisse like sauce. There might be more burgers, I don't know.

So in American KFCs they only have buckets of hotwings and nuggets or something? I think that's about all that's left if I stripe away the burgers.

Interesting. I never heard of KFC serving burgers. The KFCs over here serve fried chicken and that what it primarily centers around. They also serve chicken strips, nuggets, hot wings and chicken sandwiches but it's mainly fried chicken pieces (wings, breast, thighs and drumsticks).

Interesting. It sounds like we have more to choose at KFC than you Americans have. Although I don't think we get to pick between breast and thighs. I think it's limited to hotwings, nuggets and... an 'unsorted chicken piece', whatever that is.

Mash potatoes? As in... mashed? I think I'd prefer french fries or potato wedges.

Mashed potatoes is great especially when you are having a real meal and not fast food. I love the stuff, especially with their brown gravy.

At my parents house we usually ate potatoes and some vegetable mashed together. Tastes pretty good indeed. I like to put apple sauce on it as well.

Just not your taste then I guess. Too bad though, aren't onions like the first ingredient in a shitload of things?

Well it is complement in a lot of things but not essential in all the foods I eat.

Hmmm I guess you could avoid the recipes with onion, find something to replace it or leave it out altogether.

Eh Wikipedia isn't very clear about it. When I go from the Dutch article for 'spek' to the English page it goes to bacon, but the other way around it directs to a Dutch page for 'bacon'.

I just heard 'spek' and bacon are alike, but they are prepared in different ways. One is smoked, the other one isn't. 'Spek' is more common here, but still not often used as a topping for burgers or stuff like that. As for other pork products, well there is simply mince meat, hamburgers and such that are made out of pork meat.

Ah I see. So is spek used as a side for breakfast like bacon is?

I've never seen anyone doing that. It's baked together with an egg sometimes, but I think that's about as close as it gets to being a breakfast dish.

Also what about ribs, sliced ham, pork sausages, pork rines, pork chops etc. Is pork centered meals common?

You can find those here, but I don't think people center their meals around pork meat. Usually it will be some vegetables, some potatoes and a piece of meat. Not mostly meat with vegetables as a side dish or anything.

Me and my gf have absolutely no interest in having kids. Personally I don't care much for marriage either, but I guess it's something that I might do eventually. So that's pretty much the opposite of what Haggard bets.

Yeah I think marriage is slowly being an outdated custom. I mean there are more and more people are just forgoing it.

Yeah. I got an aunt who was married at her 18th. I don't think 18 year olds these days even want to think about marriage yet.

I heard they'd rather join Holland than put up with those France fanboys who call themselves Wallonians. Suspicious indeed.

Now that's politics that I'm confused about.

I can't say I have payed much attention to their current government formation, but I know Flemish people and Wallonians do not exactly like each other very much. I believe it's at the root of their current political problems.

But you also have a quest for the Hookshot. That would be a bit double.

Yeah, there is that as well. Well, it would help if you could get both before you took on the temples.

True. True. If they set it up right it might not be so bad having to do two quests before you can enter the temples. I don't see what would be a good place to hide the bow though. Maybe in the Lost Woods?

I'm sure there must have been a lot of fanboys screaming for a sequel after that ending. Then they got FFX-2... =/

Yeah, I did want a sequel to conclude that. I really should be careful with what I wish for, lol.

Well I can't blame you. Nobody could have known they went into that piece of shit direction with the title.

Something like that, yes. Still, one of them was tough enough already and indeed that should've been the boss of that stage.

You entered the top 400 in B/P Points. Outstanding!

One of my rabbits passed away last night. She was only three years old and we adopted her when my cousin's wife at the time stupidly got a dog not knowing it would put stress on their rabbit. We had to adopt her back in 2008, despite already having two rabbits. The worst of this is when their kids find out the rabbit that used to be theirs is no longer with us.

One rabbit passed away in 2009 and now another one has gone. I'm just glad we gave her an enjoyable time while it lasted. We still have one rabbit left but he's very old and has managed to outlive all four of his partners. Unfortunately, his vision is very poor and can't get his way around the garden very well these days.

I guess the fact there is so many burger places here, that they feel it would be pointless to sell it.

Sounds like a good reason. Over here there are really only three fast food joints which are dominating the market. They are KFC, McDonalds and Burger King, so the KFC can actually sell something exclusive. Not that the other two don't have chicken burgers, but KFC's simply sells much better quality chicken.

Other than those three there is only the Subway as far as I know.

Brown gravy, okay, people do that. But milk and butter? Wtf? 0.o

You can find those here, but I don't think people center their meals around pork meat. Usually it will be some vegetables, some potatoes and a piece of meat. Not mostly meat with vegetables as a side dish or anything.

I guess there are not many pigs where you live. There are many dishes that are centered around pork, like BBQ ribs, Pork Chops, or where it's made into County Sausage, etc.

I'm sure there are plenty here. But do you really mean that the 'main dish' is some kind of pork meat? Like ... anything else will just be a sidedish?

Yeah. I got an aunt who was married at her 18th. I don't think 18 year olds these days even want to think about marriage yet.

Yeah marriage is becoming a dying tradition. There is just too much burden with getting married and getting out of it when it doesn't work out.

I agree. I guess there are some legal advantages, but I'm sure you can do fine without. Plus if you break up, it will be a lot of hassle to get things sorted out like you said. Especially if there are kids involved as well.

There was one, where a guy was sitting in the non-smoking section of a restaurant, smoking a massive cigar. A woman complained to Tack, who asked the guy to extinguish his smokeables.

Lol. So they gave him a hand crossbow? Interesting :p

I can't say I exactly know how it feels to lose a pet animal. I've never had one and although we're taking care of my grandmothers birds right now, there's probably not as much emotional involvement as you would have with your own pets.

Yeah, that I understand. The more you're attached to the pet you have, the worse it'll be when they go. I often look after the rabbits and always love seeing them in the garden. For most nights I put them in their bed so I do care for them.

Well they're lucky to have such a caring owner. I'm hearing too many stories nowadays of people neglecting their pets and leaving them behind somewhere because they didn't really think about how much it would cost to take care of one.

We've decided that we won't get another partner for the other rabbit. I don't think it'll do any good for a young energetic rabbit to hang out with an old rabbit who barely walks around the garden.

I thought rabbits normally don't like to be alone, but in that rabbits case I can imagine he's better off without another rabbit hopping around him. I guess there might also be the risk of them starting to fight?

Pretty awesome how an old guy like him is so much into metal :p

He's not the only one!

I see no problem with being a heavy metal gamer at the age of 80. :P

I'm sure many metal fans would drool over his metal LPs collection :p

Well the best thing about it is that it has empty tunnels that will teleport you back to the entrance. They could simply create a few new areas and paste them right in.

Oh yeah, there's tons of potential for the Lost Woods right there. Heh, it's like Nintendo planned to remake the game at some point.

It's the perfect place to add some new things. They could even go as far as putting a portal there to a different world or add a new dungeon.

They could do the same in a Majora's Mask remake, if it ever comes. There's also a Lost Woods-like place there.

I have no idea what the game's story is like, but so far all the Final Fantasy games I have played never needed a sequel. I don't suppose FFXIII needs one either.

It was probably a hit in Japan so they felt they had to make a sequel for it. FFXII had a sequel but it was only on the DS. I'm still waiting for a new game relating to FFVI.

I agree. Final Fantasy VI deserves a 3D remake at the very least. It'd be awesome if they work out Kefka right (in 2D sprites there isn't really much room for expressions and poses).

Yeah, but then I remembered those bloody spiders.

Too late to take your wish back. :P

FFFFFFFFFFF!

They are KFC, McDonalds and Burger King, so the KFC can actually sell something exclusive. Not that the other two don't have chicken burgers, but KFC's simply sells much better quality chicken.

Other than those three there is only the Subway as far as I know.

So you don't have a Tex-Mex place as well like Taco Bell? Subways are all over the place here as well.

Brown gravy, okay, people do that. But milk and butter? Wtf? 0.o

When you are making the mashed potatoes you add milk or cream to make it more creamy. You could just mash them but then they are just essentially boiled potatoes. The butter is to add some more flavor.

The milk isn't being added at the dinner table but while it's being made. :P

I'm sure there are plenty here. But do you really mean that the 'main dish' is some kind of pork meat? Like ... anything else will just be a sidedish?

Yeah. Like you have porkchops as the main focus of the meal while you can have sides like vegetables, salad, etc.

I'm sure there are some tax credits one can take over here if you're married, and I know there are child tax credits as well but yeah it seem burdensome. I guess people in love do dumb things. :P

Little-known fact - the drummer for the band I auditioned for last year is going to play for a band in Manchester soon and if he makes it to the gig that he was on about, he'll be sharing a stage with Blaze Bayley!

That is pretty cool. I believe for a fact that Blaze Bayley is a good singer but he wasn't the right person to replace Bruce Dickinson after he left Maiden.

Yeah, though the vocals that Bayley gave us were pretty cool - I love Futureal, for example.

I have that track performed by Kermit the Frog on vinyl. It's not the best song that the muppets ever did, but it's pretty good.

Our first rabbit didn't have a partner until she was 4. We didn't consider a partner at first up until we thought it'd be ideal if we had a second rabbit.

Well, LPs are becoming more and more popular these days. A fair amount of albums are easy to get on vinyl, although they do cost more than CDs.

They could do the same in a Majora's Mask remake, if it ever comes. There's also a Lost Woods-like place there.

There was? Man, it's been so long since I last played Majora's Mask. Although I prefer it over Ocarina of Time, I really want to give this game the quality plays rather than quantity plays.

It was probably a hit in Japan so they felt they had to make a sequel for it. FFXII had a sequel but it was only on the DS. I'm still waiting for a new game relating to FFVI.

I agree. Final Fantasy VI deserves a 3D remake at the very least. It'd be awesome if they work out Kefka right (in 2D sprites there isn't really much room for expressions and poses).

I'm talking about a whole new game relating to FFVI but that's also good.
