Pancakes

[cait-sith]

What's with the pancakes showing up in avatars? Am I going crazy?

I tried to find the thread that started it all, but searching for pancakes yeilds nothing. Except strange looks from coworkers passing by.

:confused:

[EricNau]

It's a secret ;)

[kretzy]

I posses no postulation regarding that of which you speaketh.

Pancakes? We don't need no steenking pancakes!

[iGary]

It's in the pinch.

[katie ta achoo]

WHAT??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

You must be flippin' crazy, I haven't noticed anything.

[kwajo.com]

darn these MR secrets to heck! I've been here for 5 years and I still don't know what goes on sometimes :rolleyes: :p

Maybe everyone is getting hungry! ;)

Buttermilk, blueberry, and strawberry pancakes with real maple sirup dancing in my head as I drift off to dreamland. :D

Better yet, smothered in room-temperature butter and piping hot maple syrup.

[katie ta achoo]

Wow.. now I need to make pancakes.

I still don't know where the rest of you are seeing them! Everything looks fine over here..

[aricher]

It's all very, how you say, "je ne sai qua."

All your cakes are belong to us.

[yellow]

OK, that rips it.. I'm off to find an all day-breakfast place to eat pancakes.

[kretzy]

Wow.. now I need to make pancakes.
Me too! Even though it's 3.30am and I have to be at work by 9am, I'm determined to fit pancakes in somewhere.

How does everyone make their pancakes?

I don't make pancakes. Bad for the skin :p But back when I was a muggle I just had plain ones. 3 with about a gallon of syrup. I think the thin ones were always best. :)

I go to the Cracker Barrel.

But not how you spell:

Oh holy CRAP.. I was going to go to ****ing nincom ****ing poop Waffle House (yuck).
I totally forgot about CB!

Thanks GIR, I owe you one.

Funny thing is, last night I made pancakes. While watching hockey. And managed to completely **** them up! How you burn them on the outside and still have them uncooked on the inside.. time to let a professional do it.

[iGary]

Oh holy CRAP.. I was going to go to ****ing nincom ****ing poop Waffle House (yuck). I totally forgot about CB!

Thanks GIR, I owe you one.

Only reason I remember them is because we stopped there on the way back form the beach a couple of weeks ago. I don't know what they do, but their pancakes make all the others look and taste rubbery and disgusting.

I love the little heated bottles of maple syrup they give you.

Yummmm.....

[devilot]

But not how you spell:

Je ne sais quoi.:D I'm impressed. You can have that pancake, I'll take the cheese from your 'tar (so long as it's not too stinky or sharp).

:edit: Freaking Gary, heated bottle of maple syrup?! That sounds so good... argh. It's lunchtime! :(

[yellow]

Admittedly CB is creepy to me (as a Yankee). The whole store thing inside.. great idea, but creepy. I think maybe CB is the breakfast version of Red Lobster. <yikes>

I actually like CB's food. But the store is creepy. All these pictures of old dead people on the walls. Old toys and such, very creepy. And while the gobs of candy look tempting, its hard to sell me 'fresh' candy in such a place. :o

[iGary]

Oh, its freaky in a redneck kind of way, but yeah...pancakes.

[Sharewaredemon]

To reply to the OP, every one in a while something happens in the contributors forum (a private forum only for people who contribute) that triggers a large portion of contributors coming out with similar themes avatar changes.

This time round it's pancakes.

I like the mystery of having no freaking clue as to why they are doing this, it's rather funny.

[aricher]

But not how you spell: Je ne sais quoi.

After faking my way through a year of high school French I should have remembered that - or at least Googled it. Oops. :)

[Doctor Q]

http://www.dimwell.net/temp/rabbit_pancake.jpgThat's hilarious, Chris! I like it!

[yellow]

Well.. Cracker Barrel Store #345 treated my pancake needing belly right.

After faking my way through a year of high school French I should have remembered that

'Tis quite alright. Mdm Ouwinga would be appalled if she had a clue how much French I've forgotten. Besides, your statement was an order of magnitude harder than "Voil&#224;", which burns me every time I see someone spell it "Walla". So you should be commended for coming pretty damn close.

[rdowns]

Does this have anything to do with the fact that next Tuesday would have been Aunt Jemima's 97th birthday?

Ok, that's enough cynicism.

top it off with some cayenne pepper and a tall glass of lemonade. ;)

[IJ Reilly]

Pardon me, did someone mention breakfast?

LOL - DAY 6!!!

Tell us all the details - lots of butter?

[Felldownthewell]

I was wondering this too.



Then I thought...this is MR...there is probably no explanation...

Doesn't anyone go to IHOP (http://www.ihop.com/) anymore?

[yellow]

Buiscuits. Cornbread. Grandma's Pancake Breakfast: 2 poached eggs. 3 thick slices of bacon. 3 buttermilk pancakes with 2 quail's egg sized dollops of fresh butter. Ate the buiscuits and cornbread while I waited. Once the food arrived, I spread the butter evenly over the hot (steaming!) pancakes to let it soak in. Then ate the bacon first. Then the eggs. Saved the wonderful pancakes for last... stacked them up (no sign of the butter!), and used BOTH bottles of syrup.

Is this ****ing "Griddle Porn™" or what? :D

Hmm I haven't been to one since I saw a Phish show in Winston-Salem sometime in the mid-late 90s. It was pretty gross. Gross enough to keep me from going back.

[vniow]

I'm suddenly feeling the need to buy a large bottle of syrup and chug the entire thing.

[Counterfit]

I think maybe CB is the breakfast version of Red Lobster. <yikes>
I've never actually been to Red Lobster. Why? Because I live in Rhode Island, with more cost line per square mile than any other state. We don't need 90% of our seafood flown in from across the country.

Okay, except for salmon and Alaskan king crab.
I'm suddenly feeling the need to buy a large bottle of syrup and chug the entire thing.
Images of Supertroopers flash in my head...

[yellow]

Griddle Porn™ - LOL :D

Yeah I'm kinda proud of that one myself. :)

That's a hilarious scene from SuperTroopers.

Which also may be the reason that I've never been to a Red Lobster. I was born and raised in RI.
But I see the clientele when I roll by. Prom dates! :eeks: :rolleyes:

I hope you enjoy it. That movie is (a cult) classic.

Thing is, I think it's funnier if I'm NOT in on it.

:D

[mad jew]

I swear, people contribute to this site and turn absolutely loopy. Just another reason never to pay anyone, anything.


...Unless you pay in maple syrup or ice cream, in which case, pay twice monthly, after the second Tuesday and bring your own bucket.

[dmw007]

Pancakes? Where? I would love to eat some! ;) :)

[bousozoku]

Is she related to Uncle Ben and has she ever had it out with Mrs. Butterworth?

Plus my friends dad is a vermont state highway patrolman. :D

[jadekitty24]

Hmm, I'm actually eating pancakes right now. They are fracking great! And what's all this talk about pancakes in tars? I am not seeing this! :confused:

[zap2]

i would love some pancakes, hotcakes or any other type of "cake" but sadly i'm missing out on something.:(

[Cheese]

Being someone who doesn't yet qualify for an avatar 'round here, I would like for the mega GODS of MR to at least let the rest of us who are tar-less have eye patches, or hot cakes, or marzipan wrappers, OR SOMETHING!!!

[kretzy]

Nothing is something, so how about that? :p ;)

[Doctor Q]

Being someone who doesn't yet qualify for an avatar 'round here, I would like for the mega GODS of MR to at least let the rest of us who are tar-less have eye patches, or hot cakes, or marzipan wrappers, OR SOMETHING!!!OK, I sent you a box of chocolates. Watch for it in the mail. If it doesn't show up, sorry, it must have been some kind of computer glitch.

[wrc fan]

Che cosa inferno uomo!?!?! qu'est-ce que c'est que vous parlez ??!?!
Sie benutzen das &#252;bersetzenwidget sehr gut. Wij spreken van pannekoeken. (this is supposed to be funny because you used 2 languages and I'm using 2 languages back - oh and I know some italian and french)

I think it's cute when they all join up and do something together, but I do wish they would at least explain it after it's all done.

[kretzy]

Explain what? :p

[wrc fan]

Explain what? :p
I also wish they would stop being imbeciles and not write posts as if we're retarded and can't tell that something is going on. It clearly is. It's not funny to deny it. Now why don't you make up some totally stupid reason that is not correct and embellish on it and have fun with it rather than be stupid elitists.

[mad jew]

Maybe they use pancakes to feed the non-Demis with something substantial to talk about, other than the menial mooing MacBooks... Who knows?...

I'm surprised anyone can do anything you're not involved in an not get labeled "elitsit".
Not too thrilled I'm apparently an imbicile either.

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread but I've been out of town since before your response. Anyway, I wanted to clarify that I was actually joking, not serious. But I guess only mad jew understood my humour (or at least responded in the way I was expecting).

Oh, and furthermore, you're not even a Demi-god so even if I were serious it wouldn't apply to you anyway, so bugger off! :)

[Josias]

You did it once with crabs too. I remember iGary's old 'tar with Steve the King at a Dell monitor with a crab/pancake on his head.:D

I once asked Mitthrawnuruodo concerning this, and as he told, just as Shard did, being a Demi includes not talking about the Demi club. By becoming Contributor/Demi-God(dess) you get acces to a private forum, of course also accessible to mods (I think):D . That's all I know. Don't try to lure out the Demi's. They're sneaky, and make plans of world domination in their secret forum.:p

[yellow]

Oh, and furthermore, you're not even a Demi-god

Actually, I am.

I simply asked not to have a DG/Contrib title.

[xsedrinam]

Interesting within the matrix of knowledge, some people have difficulty moving from the quadrant "I don't know what I don't know" to "I know what I don't know". Pancakes have brought that out, once again.

[wrc fan]

I don't know any German, I was just using the translation widget as that's what I assumed he had done (and I was trying to be funny -- seems to be a constant element of my posts, yet I always seem to fail). Other than English I only know French and Italian. Although I have learned what Eingang, Ausgang, Einbahn, and a few other words mean from the 2 weeks I just spent in mostly German speaking areas.

So were mine. What better food for breakfast than pancakes?! :)

[cait-sith]

I had pancakes last week for breakfast. What can you drink with pancakes? Besides syrup... Milk doesn't taste that good with them, juice is too sweet, water is too bland.

Pancakes: unwashdownable menace.

:confused:

[WildCowboy]

What can you drink with pancakes?

Chocolate milkshakes.

[Doctor Q]

What better food for breakfast than pancakes?! :)Waffles are a treat too. There's a scene in Shrek where Donkey says "I'm making waffles" or "We're gonna have waffles" or something like that, and he emphasizes waffles such a funny way that we like to say it that way now.

Speaking of waffles, I have not had any for a while and I am getting hungry for a few as we speak.... :D

[balamw]

Waffles are a treat too.
Sounds like you need to take a visit to Donkey's Olde Waffle stand at Universal Hollywood. No waffles to be had, but plenty of Donkey.
