Ms.
Rose
Check
it out. The ancient Mayans drew pictures of the Stanley Cup on their
caves!
Mr.
Brown
TITANTIC
Wasn't
hard enough when faced with the cold touch of a iceberge
Ms.
Rose
("Iceberge"
is Brown-French for iceberg.)
Le
iceberge was-uh ver-ah, ver-ah yuuuge! Oui oui!
Mr.
Amethyst
Fa
lala la la la la la laaaaa
Mr.
Silver
Pronounced
"Ahhhss bearjjj"?
I've
seen that pyramid with the triangle before. Mayan, eh?
(cough...Legend
of Zelda...)
Ms.
Rose
It's
clearly an early design of the Stanley Cup. I knew the Mayans were
into everything, but ice skating...? Mind=blown.
Mr.
Silver
"It's
dangerous to go alone. Take this." (Hockey stick appears. Link
takes it and holds up in triumph. Opposing monsters zoom in from the
left and smash him against hut wall)
Ms.
Rose
"Master
using the slapshot, and you can have this..."
Mr.
Brown
Well,
they did play that game with a hard ball putting it through a hoop
with hip checks.
Mr.
Blue
My
first thought was the Mayans must be Devo fans.
Ms.
Rose
Hahaha,
Mr. Blue!
Mr.
Brown
I
see the temple in Ghostbusters, honestly.
Waiting
for Zule to come out.
Ms.
Rose
There
is no Dana. Only Zul.
Mr. Silver
"Zuul"
Mr.
Brown
If
its a trophy it was for winning this
Mr.
Silver
Glad
the fad of losing...or in this case winning...teams getting sacrificed ended so
long ago.
Hard
to keep an athletic league running.
Mr.
Brown
“Look
at that star player! This team could go all the way! Oh! And they
lost it!
Ok,
kill em...”
Mr.
Silver
"I
swear...the players on these teams get worse every year."
"They
actually do."
Mr.
Brown
I
just don't understand how they keep the ball going with their hip.
Mr.
Blue
They
played it in “Apocalypto”.
Mr.
Silver
People
still play that, or a version of it. You should be able to find a
video online easily enough
Mr.
Blue
Heh,
pic
#3 "is probably exaggerated to huge proportions"
Mr.
Silver
"He
is dropping onto his knee to strike the ball, which is probably
exaggerated to huge proportions"
Heh.
Beat me.
"Probably"
eh?
Mr.
Blue
Why
would you draw it that way?
Mr.
Silver
He
looks surprised too.
Mr.
Blue
It
looks like someone threw a whale's bladder at him.
Gonna
have to make a pic of that
“Hi
I'm Quetzlcoatl and welcome to Jackass! *PHHFFFFFFF!*"
Mr.
Silver
"Sak
Ch'een, pictured here just before being completely flattened by a
novelty ball during an exhibition game in 775."
"Hey!
Sak! heads up!"
"Huh?
(PLOOONK!!!!!)
"Hahaha!
Dude! You should have seen your face! ... Dude? Sak?! You ok?"
Mr.
Brown
Maybe
its a perspective photo and the ball is really close to the artist.
Mr.
Blue
And
they played wearing *that*?
Mr.
Brown
Down
a little bit, they apparently had Frankenstein's
monster do the sacrifices.
Mr.
Silver
"After
the game, tradition holds that the gods enjoy hibachi and exotic
drinks in decorated coconuts after each game, as pictured here."
Mr.
Brown
I
always wondered how much sacrificing they actually did.
I
mean, if they did as much as it seems and it was always the best
players, that would mean they died out cause they would not stop
sacrificing their best people.
“Damn,
we should have sacrificed the sick ones...”
Mr.
Silver
It
was drought.
It's
pretty firmly established they ran out of water for too long.
Mr.
Blue
The
Mayans?
Yeah,
I think they overextended their resources.
Mr.
Brown
...and
killed all the healthy subjects off...
Mr.
Blue
They
still managed okay, then a drought hit. It wasn't the worst drought
ever, but with their resources already spread thin, they "perished".
And
by perished they just kinda fizzled out. Went back into the forests.
Cities dwindled.
They
became the Aztecs, didn't they?
Mr.
Brown
They
became the Mayos then decided it was a bad name.
Tried
The Miracle Whips for a while, but decided the tangy zip of
sacrifices was too much.
Ms.
Rose
"The
tangy zip of sacrifices..." bwahahaha!
Mr.
Blue
One
of the nastier foods is plain yogurt
But
I started putting plain yogurt + frozen fruits and bananas into a
blender and it's pretty delicious.
Mr.
Brown
I
cannot eat real Greek yogurt
BLAH
Mr.
Blue
Plain?
Yeah, it's nasty
But
mix it with something and it's fine.
I
was watching Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern
He
went to an ice cream place in Puerto Rico that had flavors like sea
grape, garlic, salted cod, corn.
Plus
regular stuff
Corn
was their #1 seller.
Mr.
Brown
I
could do his job.
I'll
try anything once.
He
does not like everything, but he tries it.
Mr.
Blue
Yeah
It's
pretty funny when he doesn't like something.
I've
seen him eat and like cheese with live bugs on it.
The
other day he ate something and he was like "There's just no
getting around it...this is awful."
Mr.
Silver
Heh
Mr.
Blue
He'll
describe something like: "it has a fermented gaminess to it that
is just fantastic."
Mr.
Brown
Yes.
He has tried so many things he can describe foods well.
Mr.
Silver
Morning
Ms. Rose
Marmite
is now available for sampling at your own risk
Mr.
Brown
Yeah.
Hehe. Brought some in.
Mr.
Blue
Have
a glass of water and an EpiPen at the ready.
Ms.
Rose
*barf*
Mr.
Silver
(Touches
nose, points to Ms. Rose)
Mr.
Blue
Wow
Even
the name is unappealing
Made
in Tim-Burton-upon-Trent-Reznor, Staffordshire
Mr.
Brown
Looks
good
Mr.
Blue
Beef
tea
Mr.
Brown
Mmm
Mr.
Silver
"Bovril
can be made into a drink by diluting with hot water, or less
commonly, with milk.[1] It can be used as a flavouring. However we
recommend none of these options."
Mr.
Brown
I'm
sure I can make a salty tea with Marmite
Ms.
Rose
I
would like to visit Tim-Burton-Upon-Trent-Reznor someday. Sounds like
a fun place.
Mr.
Blue
"Would
you like some tea?" "Why certainly." "Earl Grey
or Darjeeling?"
"Bovril."
Mr.
Brown
Mmm
Bovril
I
like drinking beef broth, so how different is it?
Ms.
Rose
"The
best part of waking up, is salty-meat-extract in your cup!"
Mr.
Blue
Introducing
Beef Brew... the fermented meat drink!
Remember
the SNL skit with crystal
clear gravy back when Pepsi came out with Crystal Pepsi
Mr.
Silver
Lets
examine the...source...of this delicious drink with a bit more
curiosity.
Mr.
Brown
“Located
15 miles from Foulness”
Awesome!
Mr.
Blue
LOL
That
entire first paragraph is awesome
“The
Great Stink”
Mr.
Brown
Oh.
I tried to get Brown Junior to eat the Marmite.
He
smelled it and said eww
Would
not try it.
Mr.
Silver
"That
smells like Bovril!"
Mr.
Brown
I'm
sure this is based on the fact his mother kept saying its gross
She
never helps the matter
Hehe
Mr.
Silver
Mrs.
Silver enables like that.
Lil
bastage, Silver Junior, will happily
put hot sauces on stuff and sample anything hot in range...But if I
add a dash of plain pepper to something he doesn't like?
"It's
spicy."
"Eat
it, you fraud."
(Mrs.
Silver) "He says it's spicy. You don't have to eat it, sweetie."
"AUGH!!!!!
SERIOUSLY!?!?!"
(Mrs.
Silver) "Make a PBJ"
"NO!!!
Eat your dinner, it's not spicy."
I
never got away with this BS. Mrs.
Silver
never got away with this BS.
Mr.
Brown
Right!
I had to sit at the table all night before til I ate the plate that
I was given.
Mr.
Silver
Yup.
You
could win a siege, but it meant not eating.
Ms.
Rose
I've
had the amazing ability to puke almost on command since a child.
There were not many foods I didn't like. But I'd just flex the 'ol
gag muscle if I didn't like something. No parent would force a child
to eat something that is "making her sooo sick." ;)
Mr.
Brown
I
turned out being able to try pretty much anything.
What
is that fruit Zimmern hates with a passion, Mr. Blue?
Mr.
Blue
Not
sure? The smelly one?
I
remember he pulled some slimy thing out from under the bark of a log
that had been floating in the ocean... looked like purple snot. He
said it was good.
Mr.
Silver
Perhaps
its the opposite of passion fruit!
Hate-It-With-A-Passion
Fruit!
Mr.
Blue
I
remember it doesn't deserve its name
Mr.
Amethyst
Durian
fruit
Mr.
Silver
Ah
yes. “The King of (stinky) Fruits”
If
I recall, there are laws/restrictions against eating it some places.
Mr.
Blue
Its
not allowed on public transportation.
Ms.
Rose
You
can grow durian trees in my little farm game on the interwebs.
Mr.
Amethyst
^
Mr.
Brown
I
would like to try it
Ms.
Rose
Mr.
Brown wants to try a gross food? Shocking...
Mr.
Silver
"Stench
Farmer 2!" (anime cutie in straw hat winking and making victory
sign)
(watcher
over player's shoulder) "What's all the retching noises?"
"The
neighbors. And look...I'm up to 1000 complaints!”
(badge pops up)"
Mr.
Blue
I
find it weird that people are like "if you get past the smell
the taste isn't bad".
How
do you get past the smell when you eat something.
It's,
like, the same senses.
Mr.
Brown
The
fermented shark in Iceland seems like something to try.
They
can only make it out in the boonies because of the stench
Mr.
Blue
I
think that sorta food was accidental.
Mr.
Brown
Mr.
Blue
We have absolutely nothing
left to eat... But we found a dead basking shark on the beach... It's rotten and disgusting, but lets give it a
whirl.
