    The “portions” are getting smaller. They will fit into the huggable urns too 8)

    But I don’t want to hug Daddy’s ashes. :puke:

    Actually, I think hugging a loved one’s ashes is a lot less disturbing (and gross) than hugging a loved one’s stuffed corpse. :puke: :puke:

    And about the garnishes, I believe a sprig of parsley is a model’s entire diet.

    Ah, parsley. I use it to give my mac ‘n’ cheese a little pizazz whenever I want to distract myself from the shadow of depression that lurks over me wherever I go. The ashes of my uncle Horace, a lumber jack who did a little bare knuckle boxing for fun, that now reside in a fluffy teddy bear bring no me no consolation, but parsley… it fixes everything. Yey parsley!

    all of those look disgusting and that hugable ashes thing is kinda creeping me out :wtf: but then again i might just be a picky person :mrgreen: whooo Mr Green

    You just had to bring up fried chicken, didn’tcha?

    Yeah, parsley’s fine from time to time.
    But only if it’s transparent foam of parsley transversed by a crochet of plum tomato essence and served on a plate the size of a satellite dish.

    Ha, cool stuff. I’ve actually been holding back on a garnish-post for a few months, but now that you’ve broken the ice, I might go ahead and put it up. Thanks.

    Happy National Fried Chicken Day!

    Fried chicken has got to be my absolute favorite food! Mmm, trans fat!

    I figure every time I eat at KFC, I take a year off of my life. I’m gonna see if I can go there today. I think I’m down to 34 now….

     
  22. Da Popster, 6, July 2006, 14:29 |  

    Garnishes? Hell, can’t eat it, doesn’t taste good, why waste space on a plate ?
    :wtf:

    Remember the Teddy Bear in AI? With that really creepy mellow voice, now THAT is what you need!

    And who does not want to cuddle up with the ashes of the there only sibling at night who died a tragic death after a long battle with a horrible disease? You can almost hear the conversation…”Mom the stuffing is coming out of my teddy bear…” Oh don’t worry about it it’s just your dead sister…”

    Tip of the day, be sure to pluck your chicken BEFORE you throw it in the deep fryer!
