Personally, I'm still waiting on someone he insults to walk over and pop his smart-ass right in the kisser! Actually, I'm amazed it hasn't happened yet.
You can tell someone they suck without being a dick about it... besides, how many hit records has this guy made??? |

All activities, including but not limited to breakfast, waterskiing and ironing, would have papal sanction, Mass would be given from roaming ice cream vans, multiple marriages and divorces would be encouraged, and everyone would crap money.
Chavs would of course be burnt for fuel. |

The pope smokes dope, God gave him the grass
The pope smokes dope, he likes to smoke in mass
The pope smokes dope, he's a groovy head
The pope smokes dope, the pope smokes dope
Sorry, it was just on the CD player when I read this thread. It seemed kinda relevant, as this should be the song the next singin pope records...
It'd suck a lot of teenagers into the "faith".

Could you also ban the erection of any religious edifice within a thousand paces of an educational institution?
Oh, and can we require that all confirmed "theists" be registered and their information printed in the local papers? |

If I was the pope, there would rapidly be a holy war. I'd send my catholics around wiping out all of the other religions. When they were done, I'd reward them with some yummy Flavor-Aid. 😊
It would wipe out both the population problem and the religion problem all in one fell swoop.

unfortunately the pope only has power over catholics

We call jello, jelly (just like the Brits). Even I know that one! US Jelly is jam, and then I'm lost in translation.
But dehydrated soft drinks are new to me. As I said, we don't get them here... |
Katherine
|
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2005 | 09:32 PM
Kool Aid isn't a soft drink, though...soft drink means carbonated beverage. It's just kind of a sweet, artificially fruit flavored drink marketed to children.
Also, as Rod posted, it's the drink of choice when you need to massacre your cult... |
Katherine
|
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2005 | 09:35 PM
But then, on the other hand, if I'd actually pause to read the drink packets... 😊
But on the OTHER hand (why yes, I have a lot of hands):
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=soft drink
So hmmm. I know we have an international crowd here: who uses "soft drink" to mean "carbonated beverage" and who uses it for something else entirely? |

Okay, so Kool Aid is dehydrated faux fruit juice, Flavor Aid is dehydrated fizzy sugared water, which needs both water and sugar added...
We also use cool drink to define the carbonated non-alcoholic beverage too. |

In Canada, Jello is Jello, so called because of the brand name.
Jam is jam.
And jelly is jam with no fruit pieces in it. It's thinner and consequently runnier that way.
Wow, I never figured I'd ever be having a conversation aboot the different names for gelatin and jelly.

Kool Aid comes in two kinds; without sugar added yet, and with sugar added. The kind without the added sugar comes in little packets, the kind with sugar comes in big canisters.
If you don't add sugar, well, it's your own fault when your head sucks in like Wile E. Coyote's.
But making Kool Aid without sugar at someone else's house and leaving it in the fridge, well, that's just hilarity at its best, especially if you're around to watch someone take a drink.

Right, okay...Actually, having had a chance to think about it, I think we can get dehydrated lemonade. We definitely get this stuff called Lemsip, which is only related via the fact that you need to add (hot) water and sugar (it's a medicinal drink with paracetamol in it)
Ooh, do you guys get cordial?
You're right, never thought I'd have a discussion about different food products of USA/Canada and Australia. |
Katherine
|
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2005 | 11:31 PM
Is cordial like Ribena?
If so, we (Americans) really don't, although we do have concentrated liquid drinks...they're not all that popular, though, except for small children. There are also frozen cans of drinks like orange juice and lemonade, but those are pretty gross; you're better off buying fresh if you can manage it. |

Cordial's the syrupy concentrated faux fruit drink - just add water...plenty of sugar already included to make you're kids really hyper! Frozen drinks? We definitely don't get them frozen. |

We get the frozen concentrates here as well.
My mom used to buy concentrated juices from a company called Schwann's. I found <a href="http://www.schwans.com/product/categoryMain.aspx?tb=2&c1=1576&c2=1616">this</a> on their website. They used to have about six flavours, but it looks like they're down to one.
Roughly the same thing?
I've never seen these concentrates in anything but real fruit juice. |

Yup, they've got a lot, still.

Wow, it looks as though they don't use 100 percent juice in anything but the first link I sent. Apparently 15 percent is enough for everything else. |

The most common brand of concentrate here is <a href="http://www.cadbury.com.au/cottees/products/products.php?product_id=176&pack_id=12">Cottee's</a>
I realise now that I was being a bit sarcastic and getting my info incorrect...8.4g of sugar per 100g of diluted cordial when made up correct isn't too bad... |

I know! It can be quite funny at times. And it's not just the spelling but also some of the colloqualisms (I know I spelt that wrong). I've noticed a couple of times people have asked us what the hell we meant by a paticular word and I've had to stop and think 'Shit, they wouldn't know what that means would they?"
Gee, what we really need is for everyone to just speak aussie! |

The Pope may only have power over Catholics (Catholics? Cath... Catheter! lics... Licks! CatheterLicks... Eeewwww... but I digress), but explain to me why here in North Texas (Jesusland yes, but of the Baptist flavor mostly) all the flags are flying half-staff. And I mean all of them. Except for my parents' flag (yeah, dad got pretty patriotic after 911) and maybe a few scattered others. I just don't get it. Do Baptists now revere the Pope? Did he mean that much to the auto dealerships and gas stations of North Texas?
I just don't see this as a national tragedy. |

Dude, Yanks can totally understand British/Australian/Canadian spellings! Some of us even know what "lorry" means, too! 😊
You're right about the use of the word "pissed", though--it's not used at all in America to mean drunk, it just means angry, so you're only going to confuse us if you use it.
And just for reference, you don't want to call people who live in the southern US "Yankees" or "Yanks", either, as they'll most likely be wildly offended. |

I may live in Texas, but since I was born in California (ie - the winning side) I don't mind being called a Yank. I see it as a term of affection like "Limey", "Aussie", "Canuck", or "Frog".
P.S. - Do the French really call Brits "Roast Beef" or am I just making that up? |

I work with some genuine hill-billys here in Kentucky that would consider you calling them a Yankee "fightin' words" and believe me they're serious! No matter that you have a different meaning for the word or that you explained your usage... the "fued" would be on!
PS - Rod, we grew up on Schwann's home delivery too... imagine my surprise when I found a MAJOR factory right up the road in Florence, Ky where apparently most of their products are produced. Also, isn't it ironic that they (Schwann's) will only sell 100% juice to the Canadians (foreign) but here in America they can screw us over with only 15%??? Typical American government... |

That although it wasn't exactly correct, it was correct enough for you to get my meaning...
Much like your statement of...
"It would be more ironic if the hundred percent stuff there, and then shipped it out of the country.
Which they probably do."
is a little off somewhere, but I understood in the end.
PS - I'm sure you're right, they probably do make the 100% stuff here and then ship it out to you while we get the 15% stuff. Typical... |
