Well, I guess it was too late to tell you to run for the hills, because your fridge somehow anticipated this phlipover and the milk started leaking (from a bag??? izzat how it comes in Canada?) ahead of time, real sneaky like, and the repairman cost so many bucks you didn't even care what size his thumbs was

[Oscar]

Evidently he used the momentous post to drop dime on me over in the "guest" threaad.....

Hmm. Peter probably two cheep to drop dime. Mebbe drop nickel.

[kareng]

All right, I need input as to whether or not this would qualify as phluid onslaught.... . . .you may be able to rest easy, pholks, as phluid indeed flowed here and caused a calamity, of sorts:

Last evening I heard a strange, rattling noise coming from the fridge. It got quite loud, and slowly abated (thank gawd) by the time we went to bed. Well, this morning the fridge wasn't working. I looked carefully inside, and a bag of milk that was sitting on the back of the upper shelf had been slowly leaking, and it was almost empty. It had run all down the back, into the freezer (which is on the bottom) and sat, pooling and freezing. So, the fridge had to be ripped apart by a $$$$$$$$ repairman this afternoon, and the fan and compressor chipped out of the ice milk.

Okay, so phlowing phluids happened here! Destructive, icy phluids! it's gotta count!

Phlowing phrozen bovine phluid!

[mushroom]

Hmm... from the Urban Dictionary (for dose not out dere on da streets)

Drop a dime:

To snitch on someone. Often, to save their own ass. Comes from the old cost for a payphone call, ten cents.

To narc somebody out, like Huggy Bear always does on Starsky and Hutch.

Huggy Bear's always dropping a dime, I can't believe he's still alive.

To rat someone out. As in telling the police about a drug deal.

Imma drop a dime on these niggaz.

So if ya only drop a nickel, does someone drop a dime on you???

[elye]

(from a bag??? izzat how it comes in Canada?)

Yes! Methinks Canada is the only country that offers this bit of packaging variety. We have the option of buying a big package of three litREs of milk that come in three separate bags. One places the bag in a special milk-bag-holding container, snips one corner of the bag to pour, and there we have it.

Quite lovely, until one of the *!#%#1* bags leaks down the back of yer fridge.

Sounds like it to me! The worst kind too--requiring expensive remediation I phigured maybe you'd be saphe, Em, since yer Kween and all. I guess Kweendom doesn't offer protection from phlipover phluid pholly. Good to know

<snort> Oscar dropped dime on PeOte!

How interesting--I'd never heard of that!

HA!! NOO!!

We have that here!

Clearly another common wealth thing!

BUT

...we abandoned it as the 'pouring mechanism' kept failing - slopping milk everywhere

It clearly needs some work

Still catching up, how IS everyone??

..carry on Psills

How do you close that up? If you had Mexican in the fridge or leftover cinnamon rolls, your milk would taste like that.

This is an interesting query. . . . .. . .. . ..For whatever the reason, that is NEVER a problem. I keep raw and cooked fish in the fridge, smelly, garlicy leftovers. .. . . ....never does our milk taste phunny. Perhaps sumfin' in the plastic....... . . . . ..

So, it's a Commonwealth Milk Packaging System! Except... . . ..NZ apparently does not partake. . .. . ... . .I wonder if it was invented in the UK or over here? Probably across the pond - - we Canucks don't have many exciting claims to fame when talking about inventions.

Well....except for these astonishingly impressive must-haves:

The automatic steam-driven foghorn

Instant mashed potatoes

The bloody Mary

The table-top hockey game

Man, what in hell would the world be like without us Canucks thinkin' up these things??

[jerseyangel]

Hi Nik!!!!! Visit more often--we miss you

Hee! The bags of milk--udderly fascinating <snort>--get it?

Cracked selph up in the shower when I thought of that

Doesn't take much.....

All extremely valuable contributions to society. Where would we have been in the fog yesterday without our handy Canadian fog horn?

Hi Psilles,

Just reading through all of the posts I've missed. Ever find out what died in your fridge (was it Em)?

Saw my back doctor today and he gave me trigger point shots. Guess what- it seems to have worked. I don't know how long they last but there's also another procedure that's longer lasting.

I swear I have a doctor appointment or lab test every day between now and the end of March. If it will make me feel well enough to take walks on the beaches in April I don't care!!!

Miss you all!

Loey

4000 posts? Peoter your posts runneth over!!!

[Jestgar]

Lo, 'tis kind of you to keep your local physicians from slipping into a life of sloth.

I am looking forward to the long weekend. Definitely need a day of sloth meself.

I was wondering about that stuff the other day. I'm not sure about the ingredients. Is it gluten-free? I'm thinking the gravy part might not be.

Maybe I could start some threads asking if odd foods are gluten-free. Chocolate covered ants? Marmite? Pork rinds?

[elye]

Commercial plates of the stuff are definitely NOT gluten-free, but I know it can be made with cornstarch as the gravy thickener. OMG, I have partaken in a plate of poutine only three or four times in me life. .. . ...felt just horrid afterwards. . . . . ....fat......salt... . . ..more phat.... . . .. . ..

I think just LOOKING at the stuff is high-cal.. . . . ...

I lurve the instant mashed potatoes!! You may keep yer bloody Mary though. Do yous guys make the one with the clamato juice? Ohhhhh, the thought of that makes my stomach churn. I have a feeling there will be an abundance of those nasty drinks this weekend at the beach

It always cracks me up when Patti cracks herselph up . . .

Have you made Packer fries? We have a gluten-free fish house restaurant here and they're from Wisconsin. They make Packer fries-fries topped with jalapenos and shredded cheddar... Soooooooooo yummy!!!
