No, biscuits, not those horrifying, doughy, mutant scone abominations in the top picture.
The second picture is accurate. Those aren't the exact biscuits that are on offer, but I shall attempt to get a photo later if my heist is successful.   

its the lemonade debate all over again.

No, I have tried those so-called "biscuits" and they are certainly not scones.
Scones are quite nice, although even they would likely suffer at the hands of you 'Merican types and your strange culinary habits.
Probably the lowlight of my US trip, apart from maybe trying to explore LA at the last minute with my brother on barely any sleep.

Sorry, I'm afraid this means that you're not a real human being capable of joy.

There's a fucking snowstorm outside.

[redwallzyl]

aren't you Russian? isn't that a normal Russian day?

[Sergarr]

Not in May!

[Steelmagic]

While on a totally different level, my windshield was frosted over Friday night. This isn't supposed to happen in Tennessee in May.

Ninjas. You're confusing those guys with Ninjas, MrRoboto.

What are ninjas but feudal, oriental spies?

When in doubt, disagree with the Americans.

But LA would have been scary enough if bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and the lockers at the greyhound terminal were malfunctioning so I had to guard our stuff while my brother went to find someone to fix it, and then we had to catch buses and subways and ugh, and then we made it to Hollywood mostly by luck and everything was weird as shit and hawkers were constantly in your face and then these other tourist jerks were crowded around in the way so I couldn't get a photo with John Travolta's handprints and on top of it all we had next-to-no spending money and my brother became grouchy as hell thanks to blood-sugar fuckery or somesuch. At least I got a cool Hollywood fridge magnet with incorporated bottle opener, as well as one of those unbelievably gauche "I <3 LA" shirts.

I'm sorry if that makes me less of a real human being, but I did find at least some joy in the situation.
I mean, it was exciting just being there in the first place!

It's an archaic form, albeit one more closely connected to the root word (sprite). I prefer it because 'sprite' is more visually appealing than 'spright'. Especially because IIRC the -gh- sound doesn't exist in modern English, so there's a extant old form which is also more accurate phonetically.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I suppose that mite be true.

Sorry, doesn't work. "Mite" is the same straight back to Old English, derived probably from two separate roots (one associated with smallness, the other with cutting or being cleft-hence "miter"). "Might" is the past tense of "may", and is derived from Old English "mihte" and "miht" (for the past of "may" and the strength-related meaning, respectively). The two have nothing to do with each other, whereas "sprite" and "spright" are variations on the same word in which the noun form of one (sprite) and the adjective form of the other (sprightly) were retained to modernity while the opposites fell into relative obscurity.

English is fun.

It was snowing here too yesterday, albeit (allbite?)  with less storm and not enough to stick to the ground. Tis worrying.

Excuse me, I heard somebody was comparing things called biscuits biskvier?

I can't turn you into any sort of geographic feature. :c

James Bond is NOT a spy. He never said he was a spy. He's a SPECIAL AGENT. He's less of an espionage guy and more like FBI on steroids.

You can always turn something into a crater, and craters are valid geographic features.

My housmates are both out, and I caught their cat eating her own vomit off their bedroom floor. Uhhh. Not nice. Ew.
