Do you think I should contact the people who make Geiger Counters to tweak one for detecting hidden mayonnaise, Vegemite, and avocado?

    I've never tried vegemite, but I do like mayonnaise and avocados.

    I bought a jar of it Amazon. One taste and I threw it out. Seriously nasty stuff.

    That's what most people have said if they aren't Australian.  I guess it's a food for which you have to develop a taste - kind of like pickled herring. :)

    I think pickled herring is delicious, especially with onions in wine sauce.

    Herring is an actual food - it’s a fish, whereas Vegemite is just, I don’t know, a nasty thing.

    You probably made the same mistake that most Americans do, ie slathering it on as thick as the bread as if it were peanut butter or Nutella. It's not supposed to be eaten that way, the trick is to spread it thinly. A little Vegemite is ambrosial on toast with plenty of butter - and the B group vitamins are a sure-fire hangover cure. Randy doesn't drink.

    No, I just tasted a small dab when I opened the jar. Nasty.

      One out of three is unacceptable; you and I are through. Don’t let the screen door hit you . . . 



      Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

      Well, that’s probably a given. You know I can’t let a good woman go forever.  Grrrrrrrrr.

    You should contact the people who have disappeared from here and get them back!

    Yes, I'm always on the hunt for avocados.

      You realize, don’t you, that you liking avocados is akin to those people who wear garlands of garlic to ward off vampires: avocados repel me, sweetie, they do NOT attract me . . . oh, wait. That’s your plan, isn’t it? Grrrrrrr.

    I don't know how old Jane is, but garlands of garlic around my neck has gotten me to 78!

    I'll keep that in mind if I ever need you to lick behind my ears.

       I see what your game is. 
    You’re just teasing me with the temptation to thoroughly scrub you clean from head to foot. Wow, that’s diabolical in light of your pretense of continuous rejection and overlapping restraining orders, but challenge happily accepted!

    Exactly. She was addressing me in most of those posts.

    You and your details.

      Nice end-run on simply admitting you were absolutely wrong and that you got caught on it, it appears that’s far beyond you or far beneath you, but it’s certainly not surprising. I responded specifically and directly to Jane’s post that she specifically and directly addressed to me, as shown by the algorithms of this website wherein the user name of the intended is clearly displayed and the numerical sequence of that sub thread is too, up until the eighth post in a thread. I have no control over the fact that sub-threads get intertwined with each other and confusion can arise as to who is addressing whom; once again, that is inherent in the algorithms. 

      Failure to admit when you’ve made a mistake is a character flaw, and smacks of possible narcissism, so if you need lessons in overcoming it, let me know, I’m perfectly willing to assist in any way I can. 

      Tsk, tsk.
