481 - Disgusting Tomoatos, What Exactly IS The Idea?, Prince Mud, and The Explosive Yerba Mate Effect

[2:06 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

Those chips kinda taste like green tomoato

[2:07 PM] 

It'll probably taste like the only thing flavored like fried green tomoato I've ever had since I've never had a tomoato. 

[2:08 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

I actually have some green tomotatos at home

I'm going to fry them

Will have to try a chip then eat one

LOL

But they mostly taste like modified garden salsa chips

[2:09 PM]

“Tomato”, Mr. Brown

That tasted roughly like a mild sour cream and onion potato chip

[2:16 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

I know

A real green tomato has more of a tang to it

[2:17 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Tomatoes are disgusting

[2:17 PM] 

They are? All of them?

There's a few kinds, you know.

Issue with taste, consistency, smell?  Poisonous?

[2:18 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

Green has a total different flavor than green

I mean red

lol

[2:19 PM] 

The one has a capital green flavor.

[2:20 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

I don't like the watery explosion when you bite into them

The taste is like... dull, but kind of bitter

Like bad water

[2:22 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

I like cutting them up and floating them in vinegar, and frying the green ones

[2:25 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

I don't mind tomato-flavored things like spaghetti sauce or ketchup

But the less large chunks of tomato the better

[2:25 PM] 

So even sliced when they don't explode is no good

[2:25 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

They're just weird and tend to detract from whatever I eat with them in it

Like on a burger

No reason for a cold wet vegetable to be on there

[2:32 PM] 

But ketchup is OK?

[2:32 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Ketchup's fine

Spaghetti sauce is okay as long as it doesn't have chunks of tomatoes in it

I'll eat tomato if it's on something and I can't pick it off, but it detracts from what else is there.

Sun dried tomatoes are okay from what I recall

Because they're not bad cold water

Tomatoes seem to be very unpopular amongst a segment of the population.

Maybe there's something genetic that passed down in certain people have that makes it hit their tastebuds differently than others

[3:02 PM] 

I have noticed that objection about tomatoes more than most veggies.  Onion maybe second but a far one.

(50K BCE.  The Neanderthal “Zac Efron” tries the new red fruit everyone else is raving about)

"Blech!  That tastes like bad water. Hell-ooo ladies! Wanna fuck?"

If your proposal is correct, Mr. Blue, tomato aversion should be easily traceable.

How are you with other nightshades?  Potato, peppers, goji, and the nigh inedible "eggplant".

[3:11 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Potatoes are fine, peppers are kind of similar, I don't recall ever eating eggplant.

Actually, I remember I've had eggplant Parmesan

Not a favorite

[3:13 PM] 

People keep insisting to me that food can be made from eggplant. 

I've had it in a middle eastern dish and liked it because I couldn't tell.

It's just...bitter.

"You've just never had it prepared well."

"Logically correct."

[3:15 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

That goes for lots of things

You could probably prepare tree bark to be edible, maybe even decent

[3:24 PM] 

Nod...Chefs in New Orleans can probably cook eggplant, because they apparently can make ANY garbage base ingredient fantastic.

"This is amazing!  What is it?"

"Cajun Delta Mud with Blackened Flatworms and Eggplant, mon frère."

 (Wolfs down another heaping spoonful and reaches for the pot)

"So I should be throwing up now?"

"Oui."

[2:33 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

This guy starts every thought with "here's the idea"

This guy needs to stop saying "here's the idea"

Its driving me nuts

[2:46 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Say it back

[2:46 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

We are getting nowhere

There is no IDEA

[2:46 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Say it to him

Is it like a tic or is he being a douche?

[2:52 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

Every time he explains something

Not being a dick

Its a tic. Its definitely a tic

[2:54 PM] 

Start saying something like "boing" every so often.

When he gets irritated, explain it as a tic you get when people say "here's the idea"

[2:56 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

“Here's the idea.”

“Tony Danza.”

“What?”

“Every time somebody says 'here's the idea', I say Tony Danza. Sorry.”

[1:41 PM] 

Client: MASTERMONICO, JEN

(Ellis Island officer) "Next.  Name please."

"You must help me.  I'm Albert I, the true prince of Monaco.  I escaped on a tramp steamer.  A pretender has replaced me and there are assassins everywhere!"

"Just your name, please."

"I told you - Albert I...Master of Monaco.  I need political asylum!"

[1:43 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Heheh

[1:43 PM] 

"(writing)Albert...Master...monico.  Take this card to President Roosevelt over in the Political Asylum line...Window 7. Welcome to America, your Highness. Next."

[10:54 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

I got my yerba mate in the mail. It's good for you.  Very popular in South America

[10:54 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Kinda like cabag or kal

[10:55 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Loose leaf as well as tea bags.  I have 2 bags with me if you wanna try.  Anyone?

[11:01 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

No thanks, already had some caffeine

Google says yerba mate has about as much as coffee does

[11:03 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Yeah, I would like to try substituting this for coffee.  I can drink black coffee if its good coffee, but the shit here I can't

[11:40 AM] 

I'll try an exotic tea, sure

[11:41 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Been thinking about getting gun powder green tea

[11:42 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

I'll swing by on my lunch, Mr. Silver

[11:44 AM] 

K

I might actually still have some gunpower at home.

(the tea, I mean)

[11:46 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

I’ve got your gunpower right here *rolls up sleeves*

[1:31 PM] 

Ok...I have not had this tea

However

The taste is reminiscent of something very odd to me.

[1:31 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

A taste you’ve not tasted in years...

[1:31 PM] 

No

[1:32 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

We've secretly replaced Mr. Silvers's yerba mate with pure opium extract, let's see if he notices.

[1:32 PM] 

The taste is reminiscent of something very odd to me. There is a period merchant's stand called "Smoke and Fire" that shows up at the Pennsic War, and at Penn's Colony to serve the French & Indian War recreationists. It's an uncanny experience - a combo of leather, horn, raw woodwork, period oils and black powder. It's one of the more bizarre things I've ever run into. This yerba mate tastes like their tent smells. Oh...and tobacco...lots of loose tobacco. This is not a bad thing - it's a very cool merchant.

“Yerba Mate - A dangerous frontier in every cup!” 

[1:36 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

Tastes like Life

[1:36 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Want some Mr. Brown?

[1:36 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

Is it in a bag?

[1:36 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Yes

[2:25 PM] 

It sure isn't just a caffeine rush, I can tell you that. 

[2:25 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

The erection will go away within 4 hours

[2:25 PM] 

Hehehe

"If it lasts more than 4 hours, consult a nice Argentinian girl"

[2:27 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

I can feel the TEA

It's attacking my CHI

[2:27 PM] 

So this is not a drug, eh? 

This is going to make my day feel longer.  I'm convinced I'm looking at things, comprehending, typing, clicking and processing everything much more accurately. 

So I assume I'm passed out in my cube and dreaming it.  Someone check please.

[2:30 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

I can feel the tea Vibrating through me

[2:33 PM] 

(native) "Oh, the tea doesn't taste like much of anything, so we load it with cocaine for flavor."

"That's not written on the box."

"Sure it is...second ingredient 'natural flavors'."

[2:40 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

Mr. McGreen made his own tea. We are an experiment now

Just wait til I become a hulking thing man beast

[2:40 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

With breasts

Its full of estrogen

"This is Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown has bitch tits"
