Question time!

Have you ever had a banana split before?

I don't think I have? I had to think about this for a minute for some reason but I believe for a brief period of time in my childhood I really wanted one but it just never happened for me. And then I forgot about it lol

not firefly but letting myself vent about it here since this is why i’m not working on firefly stuff atm which is what i want to be doing: the thing about writing poetry about ocd is that it’s hard and bad and don’t do it.

#almost wrote ‘the thing about writing poetry is that it’s hard and bad and don’t do it’ lmao oops #i am just sooo. hitting a wall (ans hitting my head against the wall) with poetry lately #which is exactly where you wanna be uh. halfway through your poetry program!#personal #it’s probably just the horrors but feeling very ‘actually nothing i write is good’ and having a time about it #anyway. maybe perhaps writing about something so mentally taxing was not the move lmao but too late now!#okay done with my self pity party back to the google doc 💪#not firefly

I’m from burgerland, what the hell is vegemite?

Without getting into the ingredients, Vegemite is essentially a very salty spread you put on toast. The reason a lot of non-Australians balk at it (speaking as someone who doesn't like it) tends to be that they just heap some onto a spoon and eat it, rather than spreading a thin layer onto some toast. It's a bit like heaping a spoonful of butter, which would be much less appetising than just spreading it onto toast. Seeing as it seems to be uniquely Australian I don't blame people for not knowing how to eat it.

It's also... not really as big a thing here the international perception of Australia suggests? Like it exists, and people eat it, but personally at least it's not really a part of my every day life. My family doesn't really eat it, I've never had breakfast with someone who was eating it, when cafes have toast options the spreads are usually butter or jam, etc. This could also just be because it's so normal that very few people just casually bring it up in conversation.

Like "g'day mate", people use it, it's Australian, but it's not a MASSIVE thing. And for the record, while I have heard people call a barbecue a "barbie", what USamericans call "shrimp", we call "prawns".

Good luck in Burgerland.

in honor of 15 years of this blog existing, i keep on wondering if there’s a specific story behind “wateronagreasefire” or if it was just like “yup that sure is a thing you shouldn’t do”

So...the specific story is that I'm really awful at thinking up usernames that aren't just my own name and I usually just go with picking something that I'm looking at in the moment, and when I made this blog way back in 2011, I was watching a rerun of my other favorite show:

(EDIT: it's come to my attention this video doesn't show up for everyone. It's a Mythbusters episode about if 8oz of water on a grease fire can cause a 30ft fireball)

If I had thought ahead when I logged back on last year, I would have changed my url or made a sideblog for this Firefly stuff, but seeing as every single textpost meme/scan of the Atlas of the 'Verse/etc. is locked into a complex system of links...we're wateronagreasefire here forever.

Which is not too terrible, I suppose.

Just started watching Dark Matter an it is SO good. It’s like if Firefly and Stargate had a beautiful, beautiful baby. And it even has some of the same cast members!
