Oh. I thought you guys made those threads out of choice. Not because Prince Hal was claiming how unhappy he was that you were discussing it here. If this is the trend here, though, far be for me to go against that trend. There, Prince Hal, anymore PB&J food phobias, dislikes, loves, hates, pictures, etc, will all be posted in its own thread. It was not my intent to disturb your happiness here in this off topic thread. Uh, joke?

Marvel Editor Sana Amanat (co-creator of Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel) was chosen to introduce President Barack Obama at a Women's history reception this week and presented the Prez with comics... Amanat has also appeared on several late night talk shows (either with Fallon or Seth Myers, the Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, etc.) as an ambassador of comics in general, Marvel in particular, and specifically addressing diversity and expanding roles for women and minorities in pop culture and comics in particular. It is a testament as to how mainstream comics culture has become (even if comics themselves remain a niche product), and nice to see this generation of creators get some of the accolades their talent and creativity deserve (if only previous generations of creators had been afforded the same respect outside (or even inside) the industry). -M

Only the famous 'Einstein sticking out tongue' is a good fit for jokes. I summon the theory of relative humor in icons!

LOL. You have more food restrictions than Monk, and you seem less sane. I really do have a lot of food restrictions, and I didn't even realize it until ketchup and jelly were brought into the conversation (and both were brought into the conversation by meee. Go figure.). But I'm not nearly as bad as Monk. I mean, maybe I am with food, but isn't he OCD? I've only seen, like, one episode of Monk.

Yeah, see, that's not me. I have food texture issues with jello, or surprise substances hidden in pastries, but I am not like that in every aspect of my life. lol!

I'm not sure I want to know what surprises you've found in pastries. I just meant biting into pastries, not aware that it has jelly or pudding in it. They weren't non-food substances, but still. It's like biting into a cough drop or hard candy, unaware that something is going to be squirting.<---if you can think of a less gross, but as descriptive word for that, please use it.

OK, good, I was a little worried. It's like the paczkis (sort of a Polish jelly doughnut) on Mardi Gras. They're always filled with something, raspberry, lemon, etc, but sometimes you accidentally get a prune paczki. Nasty.
And "squirting" is totally appropriate. Though you might also try "gooshing".

Yeah, there really is not a word that's going to make saying that statement, less gross. lol.

As Pa Kent said when his jelly donut contained Kryptonian babbootch preserve instead of raspberry...'Land o' Gooshin', Ma!'

Good interview with Tim Cook about Apple being told to develop a new OS for its iPhones. It really sounds like a case of "we f**d things up, so since you made this gizmo now it's your responsibility to pull our fat out of the fire. Or else". And although I see the practical aspect of asking a device's manufacturer to help get into its innards, I don't see how a phone maker can be held responsible for what people do with their phone. At best I'd ask the company to please, please, please, help us open this thing, but to invoke the All Writs act to just impose cooperation like that is, as far as I am concerned, tantamount to saying that the government has the right to force people to do whatever it likes, justifying it by saying "it's to help law enforcement". I'd be curious to hear what our more law-savvy members think of the matter.
