Slither was quite good. Not everyone can appreciate horror with -- or for that matter without -- a humorous twist, obviously. One of the best horror/humour films, as far as I'm concerned, is American Werewolf in London. That film is simultaneously hilarious and horrifying, as well as just brilliantly scripted and directed. Good to see you back in the forum, Dan. It's been too long. How are you doing my friend? |

Dunno why, but I thought as I posted that "if Dan this *whistle*". :-) The other movie that I didn't care for this same person suggested was Dead Snow. But I am also not a zombie fan. But I would guess I didn't like it less for that than for the same reason I didn't like Slither. Edit: i.e for the reason you mentioned. |

Had no idea that anyone in America called fizzy drinks pop. Fascinating. Neither did I, and I live there. "Pop", to me, was always what the Brits call soft drinks! Next thing we know, "scones" will be what people in Idaho call waffles! |

I'm waiting for someone to do the research for a similar map of which word people use for the thing they put your groceries in at the checkout - is it a "bag" or a "sack"?

Cart -- container on wheels. Basket -- container you hold by the handle. Down here, though, both are basket. |

And scones are the same here, and so are waffles.

Around here, scones are usually triangular:  |

Those are too fluffy to be English muffins, Adam!
They are more biscuit-y.

By the way:
Jelly and jam are the grossest food items.
There I said it.
I will use jelly, but very sparingly.
I hate those chunks.
Gaaahhh.
Gag.

Next thing we know, "scones" will be what people in Idaho call waffles! Actually people in Idaho call "fry bread" scones. It's true.  Waffles are called waffles. Actual scones as people have shown above are incredibly rare in Idaho. As too the fizzy drink...in my experience it's about a 50/50 split in Idaho between "pop" and "soda". |

I'm so confused. imgur.com/a/SXUtrThose are English muffins, but they are still flatter in consistency than scones. Also: I have never had fry bread. I do not even know what it is. I have only heard about it, and that it is delicious. I am not even sure I can get it here. |
