Quote from: "Dancernl"
I'm up for a Snicker's Bar now and then, but my all time favorite treats are chocolate covered pretzels.
ooh i love chocolate covered pretzels! but not those Flipz ones... the chocolate isn't that great.... Trader Joes makes them in milk chocolate (reallllly good thick chocolate too ) and dark chocolate.
i don't like dark chocolate... unless its a truffle or something and it is dark because of whatever the filling is tastes better that way.. mm godiva

Quote from: "Jessica"toblerone should be added to this list...
ooh, i also love this one from germany called ritter sport...
and cadbury crunchie! although its hard to find here...
I kinda like the crunchie too.There's also one called the Picnic, I believe, that I really liked.
i think there is an australian version of it called violet crumble or something? the only one i ever had i soon realized was expired so i wasn't too thrilled about it.

Quote from: "MeganJane"If Lion is Cadbury, I've never heard of it...
Lion is a Nestlé product. I love Nestlé too (over and above Hershey, for sure) but not more than Cadbury. Nestlé makes better Kit Kats than Reese's (though Reese's are good, especially when you compare 48¢ for a Reese's Kit Kat to 99¢ for a Nestlé one), and their Milk Chocolate (though it's getting harder to find around here all the time) doesn't have that greasy-tasting sweetness I think Hershey's Milk Chocolate has.
i've never looked at the price of candy before... actually i dont think i even look at the price of food at the grocery store.. i just buy it. lol.. what is Lion? i've neever heard of it....

Maynard James Keenan has to be one of the most talented people making records, and the band is just ultimately musically genious in my personal opinion, and thousands of fans surely support me. although i think i'm the only one on this board seeing as though there's not yet been a thread for them!
they've been around since 1990, but have recently hit "fame.".. or atleast more fame than they've had.. some fans are mad about this.
my boyfriend is an avid fan and got me into them, mostly so with their most recent album "10,000 days" that came out this summer.
this is one of the most creatively diverse concept albums i've ever heard.
the best part of this album is the song "10,000 days (The Wings Part II) and seems to have this chilling effect on everyone i know. the song is long, i think 9 minutes (and has a part 1 which is long too) and this one part.., 5 minutes into the song is just ... amazing, and gives me chills EVERY time i listen to it. even if im not paying attention to it. i don't know what it is.
i recommend you check it out

Polls / Marriage Question (for women)
« on: August 22, 2006, 05:20:46 pm »
i decided i'm going to create my own line of women.
because, even if you do keep your last name, you're still keeping your fathers name, and even if i wanted my mom's last name, her last name was HER fathers last name and so forth, all trailing descendence back from the male.. WHY? women are the ones who make the baby, give birth to it, and go through all the hard work, and her name just gets erased? it's like losing your identity when someone calls you Mrs. John Doe. thats so fucken retarded.
also, i like my last name. i'm not even big on the idea of marriage & children in the first place so the above might never happen, cos then i'd have to have a baby. which i don't want to. also, unless i marry a latin man, i wouldn't want to give up my pretty last name for some boring american name.. that's just not me.

Entertainment - Movies / TV / Books / what is the most recent movie u saw?
« on: August 22, 2006, 01:40:15 pm »Quote from: "NoelleNC"
Requiem for a Dream- I saw it when I was 16 or 17 late at night over a friends house and I thought it was very, very weird. I like weird movies, but it was a little too much for me. Maybe I was still too young, but the forced sex between the two girls (if I'm remembering correctly) really disturbed me at the time.
And speaking of disturbing, I saw The Descent this past weekend and it was the most gory movie I think I've seen that I can remember. And with how the first half of the movie is, you don't expect it. It had really on point sound effects that just made the gore that much more head-turningly gross. I liked the idea of an all girl cast not being sl*tty the whole time, but I felt like it was more of a disturbing experience than an all around good movie. But that said, I think it's worth seeing as horror films go.
yeah it can be a bit much to take, esp at that age, because i'm 20 and it still disturbed me.... but that's the point of the movie.... to portray how addicted these people are to drugs that they are willing to do these horrible things that they wouldn't normally do... and its hard to portray that if you sugar coat it to make it a happy movie... which in that case the movie would have been crap.

Polls / What's your favourite English accent???
« on: August 21, 2006, 11:07:06 pm »Quote from: "abbottANDcostello"
Quote from: "Jessica"Quote from: "abbottANDcostello"Quote from: "Jessica"Quote from: "abbottANDcostello"I like the NY accent, but there are other American accents that I hate (like the valley girl accent),
ITS NOT AN ACCENT.
then please enlighten me as to what I'm not getting...seriously though, I'm actually not just trying to sound like a dick in this particular case. :lol:
girls, from the valley, like me, may say "like" way too much without noticing (we can't help it, really!) but substituting a word in a sentence doesn't change the way you speak the other words, therefore it isn't an accent.
i highly doubt that if i were to go to boston or something, and someone heard me speak, they would say, THAT GIRL IS FROM LOS ANGELES!
wheras, if a person from boston came here and said "park the car in the harvard yard" i could most likely tell that the person was from boston.
I wasn't talking about using the word "like" or anything like that. I can hear a definate accent in people from LA. The only example I can think of off the top of my head is from the episode of The Sopranos where Alicia Witt plays a girl in the movie industry (who is from that area) and she uses a very distinct accent.
movies/tv tend to try to exaggerate things... like the australians..
don't expect to come to LA and hear people speaking like alicia silverstone in clueless
