OT: 84th Obsequious Banter Thread: a nod to rural Pennsylvania

[ajgoal]

Suffered both a groin pull and likely an abdominal strain in my hockey game last night (also scored 2 of our 5 goals in a 5-1 win )

What kind of doctor should I go to if I want to make sure it's just a strain and not a hernia? I'm bad a doctoring.

Rothman has a few orthopedic urgent cares out there. Not sure if there's one in your neck of the woods.

Also, thanks for confirming that you weren't on the team that beat us 6-0. I'd have had to hate you.

A skunk once camped out in my left nostril. It was a bitch getting it out ..

Did you try shoving a flashlight up your nose? They say skunks don't like bright lights.

Got an appointment at Jefferson in Elkins Park, PA for this Wednesday (my 36th bday ironically) at 10 AM

Where do you play? We won our 1st game last Sunday 6-0 lol

Can I play with you guys? I’d need skates, a stick, and have to be taught how to skate.

Faith in humanity

Cop called officers for help after being pursued by drone but it was Jupiter

That's some Men in Black shit right there. I don't buy the Jupiter story for a minute.

Tell them you want to play goalie and you don't need to worry about that last thing.

Sounds like most of the guys on my team.

@Appleyard I have several questions/observations...






1) Why is the washing machine in the kitchen? Is that a common thing in the UK?

2) Why would you need multiple pans/spices for cooking? I was under the impression that the English just boil all of their food.

3) That cutting board is top f***ing tier, but be careful with the knife. Letting it hang over the edge like that could be dangerous.

4) Lose the knife block, and store them somewhere more exotic. On top of the aforementioned washing machine would be a great place.

Where's the microwave?

Ahaha.

1. Yeh... almost everyone has the washer in the kitchen. Depends on size of house but in apartments almost always. But even in proper houses often is... though in bigger houses usually in basement or utility room. But hard to get it anywhere else when average city apartment is like 500 sq/ft. (though mine is ~750... luxurious aha.)

2. Oh, yeh, for the most part. But I am a renaissance man. Sometimes I even use Fenugreek, Saffron and Cardamom (though not at same time ahah). Tbh 90% of what I eat is: Italian, Indian and Mexican/Tex-Mex/South American.

3. Ahaha. I love my cutting board. I agree on the knife but it is Damascus Steel and beautifully weighted so a bit safe that usual knife.

4. I might try it. I do hate that knife block. But it was free...

 

[Appleyard]

I dont own one! They kind of suck IMO. If I want to re-heat something then a pan, grill or oven are just as good at it/better. Cant think of many occasions I would use one tbh.

Your dentist.

I’m very sure I had a sports hernia once playing hockey. I never went to the doctor though, and it was back to normal…..in a few months. I wasn’t aggravating it further, and it probably wasn’t noticeable, but I had a lot of discomfort crossing over to one side or weight transferring specific shots.

That’s a euro dishwasher. The window is so you can see the glassware tumbling dry.

1) Man, that's wild to me. It makes sense that you want to conserve as much space as possible, given how many of you people live on that tiny island. I checked, and our population densities are literally an order of magnitude different. 35.5 people per square kilometer in the States, 302 (!!!) people per square kilometer on Great Britain.

2) I want to try making Indian food at some point (I realize that's not very specific, lol). I love me some butter chicken, and it seems pretty easy to put together. Just need to get the proper ingredients.

3)/4) Knives are a bit of a touchy subject for me. The night crew at this restaurant where I used to work were terrible at their jobs, and would leave knives in all sorts of creative places.

I used my parents microwave growing up and just always got disappointed how anything and everything turned out...

never eat ready meals/microwaveable... and if put almost anything else in a microwave it just gets sloppy quickly, and I like things hot but crispy!

Just a waste of space for me.

What you want is a toaster oven.

 

[Appleyard]

I have looked at them... but I have a perfectly good oven that does pretty much everything it does! I guess more energy efficient is only advantage.

I really want a commercial fryer, proper griddle, and pizza oven when buy my own place though aha.
