Yuck! It looks like baby poo in a jar, and according to Dan, apparently tastes of something not too dissimilar. :-/

Well, I've never seen black baby poo, and have never tasted it either (black or otherwise)

, but I'd say that's pretty accurate.

Australian beer, chocolate, and potato chips on the other hand - definitely something to rave about. Every time I go back to Australia for a visit I always stock up on chocolate and barbeque flavoured chips. Mmmmm...chips <insert Homer Simpson drooling shot here>

Edit: I mean 'chocolate, and barbeque flavour chips', not chocolate barbeque flavour

I'll help Aragon here - North Carolina Culture Humor (applies equally well anywhere south of the Mason Dixon line):

If someone says "Hey, Y'all watch this" - stand far back as those words will probably be his last.

"He needed killin'" is a viable defense in court.

Your neighbor says "I'd like you to meet my wife, my sister and my cousin", and there's only one woman standing there...

etc, etc, etc...

Actually things are quite civilized here, although people really do move "slower" than up north. Everything takes longer to accomplish.

and then some of us are blessed with a northern bloodline like me -a yankee at heart . i consider living in nc an obvios sign that i was very bad in a past life and this is my punishment

aragorn, your deeds in your "past life" didn't happen to have anything to do with a greenie and some "sanssec", would it?
