hahahah you guys are consistently spelling my name wrong!

just...answer the question

http://caseycooks.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/fork.jpg

crack

i voted tofu.

fwiw i started that other thread cause i was always under the impression that unregistered was fork's 2nd login but i guess i'm an idiot. no meta-shit-stirring intended.

it's okay forks, not everyone knows Wild Cards

haha grady

Wow, kind of a hard one. I think forks just beat out tofu, though, ironically I generally don't eat tofu with a fork.

Forks are pretty impressive when u think about them. what a magnificent eating instrument...

also lol @ admin log + forks correcting my spelling post-locking

thats the kind of diligent greater-good modding i can get behind

whoa dan, shocked you remember that!
i have only one sock and it's rarely used because i keep forgetting the password. it's definitely not unregistered.

Forks tell me again where you got this name? I think from a book but I've forgotten which.

Oh wait - is it what Dan mentioned?

Okay, the nick: when I was twelve, I was reading a series of rubbish sci-fi novels edited by George R. Martin called "WILD CARDS" and in one of the books (and I'll mail you a dollar if you can give me the book number and page number and quote it) there's a poorly written sequence where the narration (describing a scene in a high-falutin', expensive vegetarian restaurant) reads, more or less, "At the top of the gleaming tower, celery snapped and forks clove tofu in the candlelight." For whatever reason, this stuck with me as utterly brilliant and became my general fallback answer for "What would you name your band?" and then, with the eventual advent of IRC and email, my general fallback nick. It also led to the tofu hut, but therein lies another boring and utterly uninteresting story.
Aaaaanyway. There you go. Now you "get it".

somebody found the page on google as i recall!

Haha I was wondering if that was the Wild Cards in question

!!

:)

Forks are the funnest to draw.

I like that story.

i always naturally read it as 'forks clove tofu' though i think i have managed to block the two wild cards books i read from my memory

man there have been like five xposts huh

yeah kkvgz found it and _I_ misspelled it:

"In the background, fork clove tofu and thunked against earthenware cushioned by soggy romaine lettuce."
From Aces High, Vol. 2. according to Google Books.

cloves smell the best so voted them

x-post That is one awkward ass sentence right there.

xp they also make rice taste nicer along with cardamom pods

they do indeed

Thunked Against Earthenware would have been an equally reasonable nick

the other part of this is that i really really like fried tofu.

and this: http://tofuhut.blogspot.com/

I'm at the combination Tofu Hut and Seitan Bell

You should get a tempeh ban for that kind of joke, Dan.

BEAN CURD

<3

It's the best deep fried and drenched in sauce which sort of negates the healthy points but I guess the same could be said for a lot of things.

I like it that way but I can eat it cold with nothing more than soy sauce and scallions and sesame seeds over soba and be happy, too.

wow i always read it as a list of three nouns but i like it slightly better now that i know clove is a verb

please ban grady and forkscloves

nah, forks can stay

;p

if it's a 2-way or 3-way tie, you have to change your username (now and forever) to "soggy romaine lettuce".

it is a big lol to me that you thought unregistered was me
vaguely flattering? i've got all i can handle managing my own complex internet persona without calving a second one

the tines they aren't a-calvin'

i guess my working premise was that since mod view doesnt display images or videos, unregistered was your login for reading those kinds of threads? like at some point i "noticed" unregistered commenting on shit i would think you'd also comment on?

which makes no sense cause i just looked at lolz/awesome threads and there's hardly any unregistered posts there

also i cant find it now but a few months back i directly asked one of you if you were the other and you replied in a way that i read as a confirmation, which was obviously a miscommunication/misunderstanding

sorry, dudes!

food rakes

ha, I actually remember that sentence being really hard to parse. Wild Cards Book 2: Aces High was the only one of that series that I read, but I thought it was reaal cool when I was 11. That along with the Martin H. Greenberg edited Secret Files of Dick Tracy and The Further Adventures of Batman were some of the first books I read from beyond the young-adult shelves

or maybe we've both been drinking a little too deeply from the collective unconscious.

no hard feelings though, gr8080.

Thanks for managing all those Spotify playlists btw !!

yeah thanks brah

appreciate the accolades! i think i may have to change how i do this (or if i do this) next year; it's more work than you'd think!

I was at my sister-in-law's house the other day and became unreasonably excited when I saw a copy of Wild Cards sticking out of a box of random jjunk. It turned out that it wasn't Wild Cards II: Aces High though. But I just got home from work and discovered that she had sent it over to my house, apparently impressed by my heretofore unmentioned enthusiasm for GRRM.

OK the bit I'd missed from this whole origin story is the book in question was GRRM-penned. lol.

Also, is "clove tofu" right? Wouldnt it be cleaved?

i thought the clove meant like

http://gsoextracts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/clove.jpg

gelatine and hard cheese (e.g. tofu, soya milk) and with a cloven hoof

Lol, fun revive
