1) did we ever settle the asparagus question?

2) is a wrap a sandwich? If so, what’s a burrito?

3) would you rather have toes for fingers or fingers for toes?

    1) What's the question?
    2) Whatever.
    3) Whose toes?  Or whose fingers?

    1. Mine does
    2. Mexican food
    3. Do I get to keep my hand fingers if I have toe fingers?
  • 1) No
    2) No it’s a wrap/ part 2- the Spanish version of a wrap.
    3) No brainer, fingers for toes. Much better balance when drunk and can be hidden by socks.

    1) Does it make your pee stink?

    2) no thanks.  I want strong opinions here.  Preferably resulting in a multi page fight where people cite conflicting sources. 

    3) whosoever your heart desires.  
    1. Mine does
    2. Mexican food
    3. Do I get to keep my hand fingers if I have toe fingers?
    3) oh yea, you’re getting 2 sets of one or the other

    1) No
    2) No it’s a wrap/ part 2- the Spanish version of a wrap.
    3) No brainer, fingers for toes. Much better balance when drunk and can be hidden by socks.  
    3) hidden by socks?  You’ll perpetually have to wear clown shoes with those things.  Still I think you made the right choice. Chimp feet seem the better option here.

    1) It does
    2) A sandwich is a dish where bread holds food. So yes, I hate to say a wrap is a sandwich. It does freak me out that before sandwiches, people ate bread for hundreds of years in big, torn-off chunks. What were they thinking?
    3) Fingers for toes

    1.  Asparagus makes my pee smell "interesting". 
    2.  A wrap is not a sandwich, but a burrito is a hot wrap.
    3.  Fingers for toes if the hands stay the same, I'd be the motherf*ckin foot f*ckin' master.

    Yes, asparagus makes my pee stink.  Just like cilantro tastes like dish soap.  And sauvignon blanc from the Marlboro region of New Zealand tastes like cat piss.  Anybody who doesn't notice/appreciate/agree with these assessments is an idiot.  And genetically deficient. 

    (Is that the sort of thing you were looking for on this Friday eve?)

    1. It makes its presence known for the next 2-3 times
    2. i vote it’s under the sandwich umbrella 
    3. I d rather have fingers for toes, but if I could add an alternative argument my intent was to pick whichever one leaves my fingers on my hands :-)

    People who think cilantro tastes like dish soap also think chili doesn't have beans. Idiots. 
    That's moronic.  

    One is a matter of taste.  If you can't taste the dish soap in the cilantro, you have no taste.

    The other is simply a fact.  If you add beans to your chili, it is no longer chili.  That doesn't mean it isn't edible or doesn't taste good.  It just isn't chili.  But it's not a taste issue.

    Chili without beans is hot dog sauce. Hot dogs may or may not be a sandwich. Squirrel!

    anyway, cilantro is gods gift to Mexican food.

    1) did we ever settle the asparagus question? White asparagus is the best. 

    2) is a wrap a sandwich? If so, what’s a burrito? A wrap is an insult to a sandwich. It's the Milli Vanilli of sandwiches. A burrito is what it is. It stands alone. 

    3) would you rather have toes for fingers or fingers for toes? I'll go with fingers for toes. Hard to pick your nose with a toe. Lol

    There is no 'sandwich umbrella' in the taxonomy of foods that contain other foods. The burrito predates the sandwich and there is no burrito umbrella either - if there were, a sandwich would not be part of it.

    Fingers for toes - hanging from tree branches, picking up things from the floor, etc.  If I had toes for fingers I would need to get one of those old people cell phones with 12 large buttons.
  • I don't know about asparagus making my pee smell, but burritos make my poop stink!

    At first I was of the mind that a grain/corn like material holding a combination of ingredients inside is a sandwich, and because google is the highest authority I know :-) I googled it

    “A wrap is a variation of a sandwich: a sandwich has two distinct layers which are the top and bottom pieces of bread. A wrap, on the other hand, is one piece that completely surrounds the content of the wrap.”

    So the wrap is a variation of a sandwich, isn’t that the same as being under the sandwich umbrella?

    Is a bread bowl of soup under the same umbrella?

    Scarygus makes everyone's urine stink, there's just a small portion of the population who cannot smell the ammonia derivative with their own nose.  I don't envy the guy who discovered this.
     
    Sammiches are made from leavened (yeast-raised) bread, while burritos, tacos and wraps are made from unleavened bread.  I can't believe no one else gets this.
     
    Fingers for toes.  I'da been a cool-ass keyboard player, although my stage image might have been lacking.  Oh, and my brain had a hard time controlling just ten fingers... :tired_face:

    Fingers for toes for sure.
