[DarkTirade]

1. Tastes like chicken...

[redwitch]

2. Um, dude, EVERYTHING tastes like chicken.

Well, almost everything. :blush:

[DarkTirade]

4. Yes, I can think of a few things that do NOT taste like chicken...

... like the so-called chicken I had at the chinese buffet for lunch today...

[redwitch]

6. Beware the Chinese buffet!

It is mostly a hugh! disappointment. series.

[DarkTirade]

10. Yes, it can be a disappointment for me...

:P

[redwitch]

12. You should have gone to Olive Garden.

Hah! autofill is great!

[Xipe Totec]

26. Psst!

[DarkTirade]

51. ... that explains SO much.

I knew chickens had fewer than six legs.

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. It's been so long since I've thought about them, to be honest.

:( I miss the yak talks.

[redwitch]

5. Me too!

They were almost as fun as Oscar threads. Who started the whole yak thing?

[baldguy]

8. Why did it end?

[redwitch]

11. Handsome critter!

I have no idea why yaks became passe. They are quite magnificent.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Zomby, I think...

and we haven't seen him around her forever.

[redwitch]

14. Where did he go?

:-(

[AlCzervik]

7. i like them.

i also like nubian goats, i don't why but they're really cute. When i have a farm (never going to happen) i'm adding a nubian goat to my line up of pets.

[redwitch]

9. I like goats in general.

But the nubians are adorable!

[malta blue]

15. I loved the yaks but alas, I was an

interloper at that point....

:hi:

[redwitch]

16. Hey mb!

I was too, but the yaks always made me laugh. How are you? Still surfing for porn?

[malta blue]

17. LOL - yes it is the summer of porn...

but luckily my main resource site was down today so I left work early and played with Little MB.

[redwitch]

18. perfect timing!

The weather was fit for humans today. :-)

[malta blue]

28. I know - the last few days had me in a fierce mood.

:D

[Dangerously Amused]

19. Yaks are okay. But llamas are better.

Just sayin.

[redwitch]

21. What about alpacas? I'm thinking that yaks are to camels as llamas are to alpacas.

I do like llamas but I don't understand why they need 2 l's.

[Dangerously Amused]

24. They need two of the letter "l" because they are French. And therefore better than the average lama

Not too many people know that.



;)

[redwitch]

29. Oh those crazy French!

::crazy:

[Dogtown]

31. Actually, 3 of those are camelids

Yaks aren't.

Extremely cool animals, though.

Llamas are very fine, tambien!

[redwitch]

33. are they camelbottoms?

:P

[Dogtown]

34. "Forget it, Jake...

it's the lounge."


:cry:

[redwitch]

35. Aw don't cry Jake!

I'm just jealous because you are so much smarter than me! :-)

[Dogtown]

37. yeah, that'll happen!

I'm no match for your wit. Gosh, I'm pretty sure even your ass is smarter than me.

:hi:

[redwitch]

42. Are you calling me a smartass?

Or confessing to being a dumbass? ( I want you to know it took me over 15 minutes to come up with that lameass response).

[Dogtown]

44. Hi, you!

:+ = me.

[lizerdbits]

20. I work for Big Yak

:P

[redwitch]

22. Is that code for Olive Garden?

Or Wal Mart? :P

[lizerdbits]

23. Inside joke

from skeptic's forum.

[redwitch]

25. We have a skeptic's forum at DU?

I'm having a hard time believing that.

[lizerdbits]

30. We're a strange bunch

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=247

[redwitch]

32. I am a skeptic no more!

Does that mean I can't join the group? :cry:

[realisticphish]

43. skeptics do not doubt everything

we simply require evidence. Now you have it; you can still join! ;)

[realisticphish]

39. Big Gnu is keeping us down

YAK POWER!

[Blue-Jay]

27. They're smelly and not very nice.

[redwitch]

36. You have hurt their big, furry feelings.

Say you're sorry!

[bluesbassman]

38. Yeah, True Love is the greatest thing in the world,

except for a nice YLT---yak, lettuce and tomato sandwich, when the yak is nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe. They're so perky. I love that.

(Apologies to Billy Crystal)

[redwitch]

40. You may be mistaking perky for filled-with-salmonella.

(apologies to the entire lounge including Billy Crystal)

[bluesbassman]

41. That's what gives it the kick!

:puke:

[ThoughtCriminal]

45. Where are all the LOL Yaks?

With so many Yaks in homes today, you would think there would be more cute pictures.

[redwitch]

48. I know right?

I'm sure I have a picture of hoveryak somewhere. And ceilingyak is just hilarious!

[no name no slogan]

46. Yak meat is very tasty

www.hotmomo.com (link to an excellent local Nepalese restaurant that serves yak)

Here's some yak momos. Delicious!




I just had some yak momos for supper earlier this week. That's some good eating.

[redwitch]

47. I am afraid to ask what momos are.

ewwww...



:P

[no name no slogan]

49. They're kind of like potstickers

basically they're a steamed dumpling, stuffed with meat and/or vegetables and spices. Intimidating at first, but delicious. :9

[From The Ashes]

50. Yaks?

:shrug: They seem alright. :rofl:

[BlueJazz]

52. They're just wonderful for those quick trips down to the corner Boutique

[redwitch]

53. And they are GREAT on gas!

Although it is sort of embarrassing when they HAVE gas.
