The Queue: Life is scary but at least we have Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee
@MatthewWRossi
Look, life is crazy now and I have no idea if we’ll still be around this November. But if we are, I know that I’ll be playing Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered, and for a brief moment. I’ll be Godzilla.
Y’all talked a lot about chips, so don’t be disappointed that this Queue is mostly about that. And about Red and his hunger for dinosaur flesh.
I still think about that bag of fried squid chips I picked up on a whim. I’ve never been able to find them again, they were too perfect, too pure, for this world
I grew up being forced to eat Calamari (last name Rossi, I’m sure I don’t need to explain) and I have to confess even decades later I’m haunted by how much I hated it. So for me, you’re suggesting I embrace an eldritch evil and I can’t do that.
I bought chips out of a machine when I was in England, and for whatever reason, it didn’t give me the ones I bought. I just opened them up and started eating.
… and they were lamb and mint flavored.
I just sort of leaned forward and opened my mouth and let the whole unholy mess fall out. Then my body gave an all-over, fully-encompassing shudder of sheer horror.
See, this is how I feel about Waffle’s Fried Squid Chips.
I have had the lamb and mint crisps — I lived in London for most of 1995 — and I did not like them, but not to the level you describe.
Last time I was food adventurous was trying ostrich carpaccio in South Africa.
I was very surprised with myself for trying it. But it was legit delicious!
I realize after reading this (and his bit about the chaos emeralds, which are so annoying to me because most of them aren’t even green) that Red is building a time machine to go eat non-avian dinosaurs and he’s practicing on the biggest avian dinosaurs he can find.
I’m sorry, but you need to phrase this in the form of some strange food you have eaten or chips you didn’t like.
But because I won’t see it, I’ll just say I haven’t had much time to WoW with Diablo 4 currently being awesome.
Q4tQ: what do you do when you’re just not feeling the game you’re currently playing but you don’t have anything else you feel like playing?
Sit in my chair and think about the following:
- Dinosaurs
- Other prehistoric creatures like Pelycosaurs/Synapsids, Therapsids like the Gorgonopsids or Dinocephalians
- Godzilla
- Tabletop RPG campaigns I’d like to run
- Whether or not I’ll be alive by next year
So when Americans get ahold of ketchup chips, are they in a specialty aisle? is there a canadian section? do you have to smuggle them in across the border? With how much weird food exists in america it seems surprising to not have ketchup as a regular shelf flavor at this point.
I haven’t had any in awhile, my brand is Old Dutch and they are spectacularly acidic. if your tongue isn’t a little wrong after eating them then they aren’t quite perfect.
I often find I feel just sort of generally unwell after eating super flavored chips. I don’t know why, it’s not like I feel sick exactly, just sort of a food hangover? stuffed full of preservatives and sadness? I dunno, it’s not like plain chips are any healthier or anything. So I usually just do plain chips with some kind of dip, usually sour cream with 3lbs (more or less) of dill and some garlic but I did find some dill pickle flavored hummus recently that hits the spot as well.
I live in Edmonton so I see Old Dutch on the shelves frequently, but to be honest, I don’t like any form of ketchup anything. I do appreciate that I can still get Jalapeno and Cheddar Doritos up here, though.
Okay, that’s the Queue for today. Tyrannosaurus mcraeensis is not for eating, Red.
