Well HEY...did anyone ever order crap out of a cheesy comic book ad? I did once. They were selling hot pepper gum, onion gum, bloody gum and pucker gum. For 65 cents I could get a couple of sticks of each. So I ordered that along with a squirt ring or something like that. Mailed them some coins taped to a piece of paper. After a million years my crap comes in the mail in a battered envelope. There's a bunch of loose sticks of gum in there. The bloody gum is the only one I can identify because it's actually BLOOD RED and wouldn't fool anyone if you gave it to them. The other ones tasted odd but were not the nightmares described in the ad.

I remember one feller at school said "Give me one of those bloody gums!" so I gave it to him and he chewed it up and deliberately went around drooling this bloody gunk all over the schoolyard. He eventually became a stuntman. True story!

Oxiclean, if only because the fucking announcer/inventor is absolutely the most annoying person on the planet. He must have that "voice emodulation" thing that Will Farrel always tooled on during his SNL days. The products are fair as far the bathroom cleaners are concerned, but the powder would best be served to lace cocain (says Heather who knows nothing about lacing cocain:rolleyes: ).

Wow, old thread. :D

Oh well, I want to know something anyway. Why is it that whenever I try to flip an omelet the spatula come up through the omelet and I'm left with big shreds of eggs and cheese all over the pan?

I need to buy that double drying pan big time, vodstok. :D

I'm no omlette miestro, but I know a thing or two:

1. You've got to cook it slowly (VERY IMPORTANT)
2. You've got to have enough oil, not too much, but enough to coat your pan. It helps if your pan has a nonstick coating.
3. You've got to let your egg cook enough to become fluffy and sort of lift itself from the pan. You can test this very gently with your spatula.
4. When it starts becoming done, that's when you pile on your cheese and whatever else you like.
5. Gently fold each side.
6. Let it cook for just a little longer...just a little
7. Then gently flip it.

It may take you a couple of tries, but that's how I learned.

(For practical care, don't wash your nice nonstick coated pans in the dishwasher. Wash them in nice warm dish soapy water. It keeps the coating from flaking, it keeps the nonstick properties from "dying," and it's just propper maintenance).

ahh

I guess being a very impatient person doesn't help. :p

You know, Kemal, you could've just mentioned the "Head On" commercial and not walked us through it's inanity. You sadistic...:D

Anyone remember the "inside the eggshell scrambler"?

It allowed you to scramble the egg...INSIDE THE SHELL!

Take that, Vod - no whisk needed. Ron Popeil is a genius.

Haha...Wasn't that the guy that was hawking those round storage containers that 'stretched', so you could make them as big or as little as you needed them, a couple of years ago?

Those were goofy...I could always imagine something liquid being in there, and one of the kids dropping it, or it falls out of the fridge and gets smashed into it's original shape, the lid pops off, it erupts...What a mess
