That "News" Thread

[xHaZxMaTx]

Ugh, Pepsi Blue was nasty, tasted like mouth wash.  I've always wanted to try Pepsi clear, though.  I know it would taste the exact same, but I would still like to try it.

[Damaris]

We found two bliss-filled cases of Vanilla Coke today.  They are now ours... 

[Netami]

Hey here's a newsflash for all you coke and pepsi fiends: DR. PEPPER RULES YOUR WORLD!

YEEEEEAAAAHHHH 

[xHaZxMaTx]

Trudat.

[Netami]

I also wanted to say that, despite my preference, my friends did manage to snag some Vanilla Coke for tonight's D&D game at the behest of knowledge that I gained from reading this thread. Scary, scary.

Coke == Dr. Pepper >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pepsi.
(Moxie owns them all, though.)

Anyone know the story behind the new news addition? 

[superluser]

Anyone know the story behind the new news addition? 

Which one is that?  The newest one that I noticed was this one:

C Schilling (W, 6-2)   IP: 9.0 H: 1 R: 0 E: 0 BB: 0 PC: 100-72

DAMN YOU SHANNON STEWART!!!

Which seems right up your alley.

Shannon Stewart spoiled C. Shilling's no-hitter.

Wish they would bring Lime coke back too... Limes taste best when its fresh

[Jigsaw Forte]

There's Diet Coke with Lime, if that counts.

[Netrogo]

Coke with Lime was indeed awesome. One thing I'd like to try that I never got to though, New Coke.

DIET?

On the topic of pop, did you guys know that American Coke, or at least the stuff that I had in San Fransisco some months ago, tastes way different from Canadian stuff? It's way sweeter.

Sugar-based soft drinks in the US are different from those anywhere else in the world.  Because they're not based on sugar.  We subsidize corn and put protective tariffs on sugar imports, which makes high-fructose corn syrup more economical to use than real sugar.

So in most of the world, soft drinks are made with sugar, but in the US, they're made with corn syrup.

ahh, that actually explains the weird difference in taste Kellz and I noticed in coke while in America. Now that I know, I have the strange urge to go and wash out my mouth... XD

This is why there's a faux-black-market in Mexican Coke in the US.

[Tapewolf]

I'm guessing it was Bill who put the entire set of lyrics for "Supper's Ready" in the news?   

[bill]

And Baba O'Riley.

[Kryptic]

I highly approve of Barenaked Ladies. ^^ One Week's on my top ten list of songs, ever.

And it was in the Digimon movie.

Digimon may have jumped the shark in a flaming ball of suckness after the first two seasons, but at least the soundtrack was always good.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I kinda preferred "She's On Time" myself...

[RJ]

Ohhhh, so THOSE are the lyrics for One Week... And here I thought he was saying nonsense words

[Faerie Alex]

It looks so weird when you see it spelled out. It's also hard to read when it scrolls so slowly (too slow for the beat). But I suppose it would like like a blur if it went at the beat.

Song lyrics FTW.

[Netami]

Turn that shit down! Why the hell is the news ticker spouting out retarded Furgie lyrics?!

At least change the News header to something more appropriate.

Fergie is a talented artist, and I don't appreciate you speaking about her in that manner.

[Netami]

She is god awful. The black eyed peas could kick her ass out and be perfectly fine. I weep whenever a song is ruined by her annoying voice; they give her shit lyrics, too.

It's a lot like No Doubt turning into Gwen Stefani, turning into "Gwen Stefani and a black chick singing some horrible 'rasta' solo in every song."

Why do you have to add fail to the equation?

[superluser]

Fergie is a talented artist, and I don't appreciate you speaking about her in that manner.

It wasn't until today that I realized that there was a Fergie who wasn't the Duchess of York.

Congratulations, your life is ruined.

Okay, who's responsible for the 'My Humps' lyrics in the news? And let me guess, they saw Blades of Glory the other day too, right?

[Netami]

Jimmy: So, Coach, I was thinking about the music for our routine.
Coach: Oh, really?
Chazz: We're gonna dance to one song, and one song only: "Lady Humps" by the Blackeyed Peas. "What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk? I'm a get you, get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady humps."
Jimmy: [disgusted] I'm not skating to anything with references to lady humps. I don't even know what that means.
Chazz: No one knows what it means-- it's provocative...

[RJ]

The Iron Lotus scared me.
