I hate to be a buzzkill, because I know how funny the name is, and how enjoyable odd elements of foreign cultures are, but I've never had spotted dick, it isn't popular at all. You're most likely to hear about it in a lame attempt at humour (see above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're most likely to hear about it in a lame attempt at humour (see above). It’s a pretty old fashioned/traditional dessert I believe. The kind of pudding my grandmother would make (along with jam roly poly and such). It’s also the kind of pud I sometimes see on British pub menus. For some reason I always think of it as a private boarding school dessert. Not for any reason, so I don’t even know if that’s accurate, but hey hum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 People who are on their phones while driving. Three different people nearly hit me in under a minute. All were jabbering away on their smart phones. Also, while smart phones are all around better devices, they make it a lot harder to text and talk while driving.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Another thing, and I know I can't be alone here, I HATE when I go to Chipotle and the meat is cold. I normally go there during a long bike ride to get some tacos and beer, and it's depressing as hell when I bite into a taco and it's ice cold. Also, learned the hard way this past weekend that it's a mistake to tell the person making my tacos that I want them swimming in hot sauce. It was difficult both going down and coming out.

The "stories" in our commercials are much shorter and simpler. The last two commercials that got my attention recently were the one where these poles for electricty (these thingies, however you call them) dance to an upbeat music (for electricty provider) and the one where random people in different scenes recite rhymes (for mineral water). Just saw the commercial again, but an abbreviated version. 30 seconds. So the original version was perhaps 45 seconds. I thought it went on forever, but 30 second commercials these days are long commercials. I've noticed that as a trend these days. They introduce the long version first, and then run a shorter version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the questions was: SLOTH Do you: A) Put off what you can do today until tomorrow. B) Put off what you can do today until next week. C) Hibernate in winter.
