Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[trappedslider]

the issue is me.

admitting that is the hardest thing to over come.

THOT = That/Those H______ Over There

Where the H word is singular or plural modern slang for a prostitute- a homonym for a gardening tool or part of Santa’s laugh.

As opposed to bops, which are a somewhat different archetype.

okay this has been bugging me slightly but you do know what thot stands for right? I have a feeling that @Dannyalcatraz does,

Of course. Different toys, naturally.

I really have got to learn not to start reading those massive (less than a week old and already with hundreds of posts and thousands of views) contention threads. It really skews my positivity about this place.

Birds of Prey?

Birds of Prey?

Uh... In a manner of speaking...

America is so weird. I can buy pure lard in bulk 1-gallon tubs at the grocery store, and get jars of pre-rendered duck fat, schmaltz, and free-range organic beef tallow while I'm there...but if I want suet, I have to order it from a specialty butcher with 2 weeks notice--assuming I can find a person who even knows what I'm talking about.

It's a one-man's-trash situation, plus you need a critical mass of buyers to make it worthwhile to prepare your butchery fat that way (otherwise yeah if gets rendered into pure lard, tallow, etc.). We consider suet worthy of bird food (where you can get it readily and cheaply, but obviously not of food-grade quality and handling). It sounds weird, but it's not like it doesn't happen with other foods (thinking about lobster once being considered food for the poor, prisoners, etc.).

Not related to the above, really not even this site: I do not think I can say I'm happy those people found fun in a game I wouldn't want to play in, without sounding as though I'm crapping in their cereal; I'd rather say nothing than be misunderstood.

Yeah, I get that. The frustrating part is trying to explain suet to the butcher. Most have never even heard of it, or what it's used for, or how to get it. And the ones who do know what it is seem to want to talk me out of using it. It's just so weird.

"Suet? What's that?"
"Do you mean lard?"
"Do you mean tallow?"
"Do you mean birdseed?"
"What are you cooking with it?"
"Oh right, one sec." (leaves, returns with a brick of lard) "Here ya go!"

I must have had that conversation a half-dozen times yesterday. But I was finally able to get it from a butcher (an actual butcher, at a meat market--not a supermarket or grocery store), who actually knew what I was talking about. "Oh sure, we usually stock that for Christmas. Looks like the shipment will be in on Monday, you're lookin' at about $2/pound."
