What should be served for refreshments on the first day of the Democratic Convention?

[Maddy McCall]

I figured I'd post a poll as meaningful as any other poll in GDP. This one has no loyalty oaths, no candidate choices, just good ol' food.

[Fox Mulder]

1. How about lattes for the 'litists?

:D

[Maddy McCall]

3. Lattes and Donuts?

Sounds good!

:rofl:

[Cant trust em]

19. We prefer pan au chocolat.

I love making fun of this.

[dipsydoodle]

40. Just abouts sums it up

latte being possibly one of the most pretentious word in current misusage. WTF is wrong with milky coffee totally defeats me.

[tekisui]

2. Other: Crow.

And a lot of it.

[Maddy McCall]

8. Careful. You'll be accused of being racist.

A couple of weeks ago, a now-tombstoned DUer called me a racist because she thought my post about someone "eating crow" was racial.

:eyes:

[tekisui]

12. Jeebus.

That's a stretch. Thanks for the warning though.

[Maddy McCall]

13. Yeah...

I sat here with my jaw agape when I read that accusation...

Couldn't believe that that person had not ever heard the old saying.

:D

[QC]

29. And let's not forget the old saying about disposing of poop.

That turned out to be egregiously racist, too, and quite to my surprise.

[Maddy McCall]

30. Yeah, that one was a shocker.

A disappointing shocker.

[QC]

35. Yes, even in a place as eaten up with racebaiting as DU has become,

that was still a shocker.

[napi21]

31. I said crow too! Crow for all the elected dems for being such whimps

for so long!Crow for agreeing to such a crazy frontloaded primary that caused all this insanity this year!

[candice]

4. Kool-Aid!

[Lost-in-FL]

5. Arugula and goat cheese raviolis with iced latte n/t

[RichardRay]

6. Who's Robb?

And why might I have to consider him a dingbat?

[Maddy McCall]

11. Robb is one of the first DUers....

who used to post polls in the lounge, always with the final option "Robb is a dingbat."

Trust me, he will not be offended by this poll. It's pretty much a standard option for ol' timers. :D

[RichardRay]

33. No problem :-)

I go into most situations secure in the knowledge that I am a dingbat and with the suspicion most other folks are, too!

[backscatter712]

7. Seeing that the party's cannibalizing itself...

Fava beans and a nice Chianti.

SLURP-SLURP-SLURP-SLURP-SLURP!!!!!!

[nomorewhopper]

9. sour grapes

[hfojvt]

10. revenge

but it needs to be properly chilled.

[MadBadger]

14. Beverage Choice: Hillary's Tears.

[TahitiNut]

15. Brains. (After all, about 45% of the folks there won't be using them.)

:shrug:

[99th_Monkey]

16. LEMONAID - made from lemons thrown at Obama

[Maddy McCall]

17. This was supposed to be a fun thread to alleviate some of the tension in this forum.....

Can some of you guys refrain from the ugliness, at least in one thread?

Thanks.

[HereSince1628]

18. Ok, I'll say it....

Chilled Cantelope and tomato soup!

If the Barefoot Contessa says it's good, it just has to be!

[Maddy McCall]

22. Ewwwwww!

That sounds yuck!

[HereSince1628]

28. No, NOT True! do a Google search. Many recipes available

[HereSince1628]

34. Here's a recipe...of course it's goodness depends on the melon and the tomatoes...

[Mz Pip]

20. Demerol

It could be a long and painful event. Kind of like a root canal.

Other than that, I really like chili cheese fries for comfort food.
