I like Bloody Marys, but my child is considering a Jesuit college. Is it sacreligious or do we simply have to avoid ordering them when we are on our trip to England to tour Oxford? We aren’t Catholic or British, but want to increase our chances for acceptance.
I have an answer to that question (about whether it is sacrilegious to order a Bloody Mary)! I think I’ve told this story on this site before, but I had a great aunt who was a nun who enjoyed her cocktails. Her drink of choice was a bloody Mary, and when the waiter would ask whether she wanted a second one, she’d invariably say, " Oh, maybe I shouldn’t … What do you call it without the alcohol?" When the waiter would answer, “A virgin Mary,” she’d say, “Oh I could never order that! You’d better put the alcohol in it.” It was her running joke for years.
Does anybody still call the ATM a “Cash Station”?
They were called TYME Machines here.
Oreos or hydrox? Is the prestige worth the extra cost?
How many times per week should I wash my belly button?
YoHoYoHo, oh, yes, prestige is always worth the extra cost!

How do you pronounce gnocchi?
Newscasters who mispronounce things. (Local station’s newscaster mispronouncing Zurich = nails on a chalkboard.)
It isn’t just prestige: Oreos taste better. 
I want to talk about newscasters who mispronounce things! Great idea for a thread! Seriously!
I hate the way Australians say “gnocchi.”
Here’s my PROJECTED stats and activities - chance me for HYPSM etc. (From a high school freshman)
But Hydrox don’t contain dairy, I believe, so they’re kosher after a meat meal.
America’s greatest cultural export, Disney or Baywatch??
Our Hydrox eating neighbor’s kid got into Yale. What’s up with that?
^^Or the export of David Hasselhoff to Germany?
Wax or shave big toe hair?
Here is another “Let’s collect data” thread on cc:
- Write down your child’s preference for Oreos or Hydrox in 3rd grade
- Write down your child’s PSAT score in Jr yr.
- We will keep this data on cc for others to ponder and analyze
