Sean Reynolds rant about terminology

[Carnifex]

*Notes Jasperak's request for Earl Gray, and puts the kettle on*

Anyone else for tea? Let it cool nicely for a bit (I'm referring to both the drink and thread ).

 

[Wolfspider]

Jasperak, if you really want to make amends, you should go back and trim (considerably) what you said about Mr. Reynold's before someone else picks up where you left off.

Then it will be The End.

I enjoy tea

I have sometimes enjoyed tea along with cookies that come out of a tin labled "Danish Butter Cookies" Are said "Danish Butter Cookies," in fact, popular in Denmark?

No. But then again. 'The grass always looks greener on the other side'.

I don't know, Bonedagger, I'm not so sure they aren't popular. They do have a distinct "family"-image and I being a single young male thus don't buy a lot of them. Last christmas, though, I bought a huge tin very cheaply down at one of the local supermarkets, I lasted for months but it was very cosy to sit and eat cookies and drink tea and play cards and other games with my pals and gal pals in cadlelight during the long and dark winter evenings. And "cosy" is the be-all-end-all criterium for a good time in Denmark.

Here in lovely Asheville, NC, we have a bakery called Old Europe, run by a guy with a lovely indeterminate European accent. Most of their desserts are goopy and oversweet (what is it with European bakers and gelatin? Yuck!), but some of them are delightful. Especially the butter cookies, which are similar to the ones you can buy at Walmart but infinitely better.

On a blustery rainy day, there are few things more comfortable -- cozy, you said? -- than sitting at a table in this bakery, drinking coffee from his china cups and eating butter cookies off the silver platters they're served on.

Can't stand the tea, but I'll take some pop, myself.

Excuse me - "soft drink."

Sean Reynolds strikes me as being the Spider Jerusalem of WotC.

Make of that what you will.

 

[Jasperak]

Considerably trimmed, although just goes to show, how hate and ignorance breeds the same.

Can I have some biscuts with my tea?

 

[Wormwood]

Let me get this straight.

If you want to write something insulting and inflammatory, all is forgiven if you simply categorize your screed as a "Rant"?

Noted for future use.

 

[Carnifex]

Sure, I think there's a tin of biscuits around somewhere - might even be some of those Danish ones everyones raving about...

 

[Tsyr]

Oh bloody 'ell. They are called "cookies", not "biscuts". Biscuts are eaten with stews, soups, or gravey. Cookies are a sweet eaten alone or with tea/milk/etc.
