I've screwed up making popcorn. Get outta here, acting like messing up browines is something.

... screwing up making popcorn is pretty easy. Hell, I've had the same microwave, the same day, at widely spread times, burn popcorn when the exact same timing, brand, etc., didn't burn earlier in the day.

And that's not getting into different brands, which can burn at different times, or different microwaves, or different preferences among the popcorn eaters for how burnt the stuff is and just...

... I've have an easier time cooking, like, full course meals than I've had consistently cooking popcorn. Popcorn is my preparatory nemesis. Which is sorta' good, 'cause I don't really like it so I never really pop any.

Which just goes to show that you should buy packets of popcorn kernels and use the stove. Instant heat removal if they start burning! Add salt and butter to taste.

Why cheese on everything?

*vague shrug* Don't question me as to why cheese tastes good on nearly everything. I've got nothing substantial to do with the fact that cheese is one of the foods of the gods. CWHW stands self-evident. It's frankly telling I only had to swap one letter to get that jest to fit. Even Abraham knew that cheese is like unto YWHW, and he didn't even use an alphabet that it fits well in. I'm guessing, anyway, since I don't exactly know hebrew or whatev'.

Seriously though, cheese popcorn is solid, plain popcorn with cheese melted over it is quite decent, plain popcorn with cheese powders of varying sorts applied is also pretty alright.

There's a short list of foods that don't go well with cheese, and an many-times-exponentially-larger list of foods that do. Cheese is great.

And to be fair, it's not cheese on everything. Just almost everything. Everything cheese improves, which is nearly everything edible and some things that aren't.

E: What I'm saying, is that when the Grecians spoke of the Ambrosia of Olympus, they were talking about a fine cup of melted Gouda. Deal with it

And if one kind of cheese doesn't work with something? Try a different kind. I'll second the food-of-the-gods sentiment.

But cheddar popcorn tastes like ass.
Terrible tasting ass.

Brown sugar is generally unprocessed sugar. White sugar is generally processed sugar.
Processed sugar is generally worse for the body than unprocessed sugar because its artificially made. :v

That's a terrible measure! Clothes are artificial, so are antibiotics! And cynanide is natural!

S'nothing whatsoever wrong with artificial, and a great many things are made BETTER by being man-made. Means they're -refined-. I don't see you munching on willow bark when some perfectly good aspirin is just at the corner store! D:<

*Genesis fist-bump*

I just read that 'Go forth and multiply' is used nowadays in place of 'Fuck off'. I should start doing that too.

[Avis-Mergulus]

So guise, help me with a thing.

I was exercising in the yard today - mostly pull-ups. So I'm doing them, and on the tenth one I notice that I'm cheating a bit by not fully lowering myself, so I do the next pull-up with extra vigor to compensate, and there's this sudden burst of pain in the back of my head. It continued to hurt for twenty minutes or so, and then stopped. I usually do twenty or so pull-ups, and nothing like this has ever happened before. It made me both WTF and slightly terrified.

Anybody tell me WTF was that? Before somebody asks, no, I did not hit my head on the bar.

You have ruptured your aorta. You'll probably die from internal bleeding in the next 30 minutes or so.

I have no idea what it could have been, but my motto on this kind of thing is that if the pain stops fairly quickly, it probably wasn't anything worth worrying about.
Unless it was some kind of super-painful crippling pain that leaves you in the foetal position, of course. That would probably warrant a visit to the doctor.

[Myrkky100]

I'd go to the doctor just in case. A large movement like a pull-up causes a lot of pressure changes in you body, including the cranium, and many people can get a headache from that. However, it may be an indicator of a more serious issue so if possible, at least seeing a doctor might be in order just to be on the safe side.

[Rose]

You have died of dysentery.

*Genesis fist-bump*

I just read that 'Go forth and multiply' is used nowadays in place of 'Fuck off'. I should start doing that too.

AT LAST!

Finally, I can use that word without actually using it.

"Go multiply yourself"
"Multiply you"
"Why you little mother-multiplier"

This is going to be great.

Ok, those sound suckish. At least novelty never wears off immediately.

[scrdest]

Lupus.

Now seriously, Myrkky is probably right-ish. A very quick pull-up meant you moved up without your blood catching up in time, so you got a drop in blood pressure. Then, to maintain the pressure, your blood vessels constricted, and that, as scientists like to describe it, 'hurts like a motherfucker' (that's the cause for like 85% of headaches).

That's all in the realm of 'probably' so keep that in mind.

[Avis-Mergulus]

Thanks, guys. It has mostly stopped by now, so I'm okay. But considering I have to pass the medical commission to enroll into pilot academy, any pressure-related stuff could fail my ass. Therefore I was pretty freaked out.
Thing is, it was just hella sudden. The "ruptured aorta" hypothesis crossed my mind, as well as "I'm too young to die".
