I'm Quaker:-)
Everyone assumes its the same as Amish, its not.
However the fact that when i was a kid we spent a number of years living in the middle of an Amish community only confuses the matter.
There was one other non Amish family within 5 miles with a car (our TV was broken, so we didn't have a TV)

pasties:-)
also it was only the last 3 of the 12
i'm now working as a landscaper with an emphasis on stone works and operating heavy machinery (Mwahahahahaha!) which is my true calling, cooking is fine and all but building a wall or pebble mosaic or knocking down a building with a skid loader is the best!
but yes my specialty is pies, but not fruit pies those are too easy, custard pies and s@+*loads of meringue is where its at:-p

Sounds like some kickass mites!
The players hated them because the voice was so incredibly annoying. "Murderously pathetic" I think was the term used.

I mean, it's definitely cool to know, but I follow that other thread for a reason, and I kinda figured others did, too. They are missing your knowledge!
EDIT: Realized how this came out, and I wish to clarify: ^ this is not me suggesting you don't post here. This is me suggesting you also post this stuff in the "Did you know?" thread, as it's a bunch of stuff I didn't know!
Or I could get to the part where they start dealing with the collaborators and all the quotes would just be grim and/or depressing.

At the risk of sour persimmons, was I the only one not inspired by the Monarch of Monsters entries to choose from this year?
Hey, one of them was actually quite nice!
The rest of was... Uh. They weren't bad, but they seemed... Bland? Sparkless?
I am used to not being picked into top five of anything, but if I am not in the finale I would like to lose to awesome competitors, not to "not bad".

Squee. Note the second definition.
"Man-squee" is like the second definition, but lacking the 14-year-old-girl part (so basically, just several octaves lower). :)
EDIT: So, some history, I guess, if you all care.
It should be noted that I believe the term "man-squee" is original to me. As far as I know, I came up with it while talking to my wife about something. I nerded out and went "Squee~!" (only I actually said the word "squee" out-loud, in part to create humorous effect, and in part because I turn sound effects into onomatopoeias sometimes).
Anyhoo, realizing how girly it sounded (and finding that hilarious, as well as trying to find something humorously "manly" to "offset it" but with clear jest in mind), I went something along the lines of, "Oh, er, uh, I mean, MAN SQUEE~!" much to our mutual bouts laughter. It's been a meme of ours since. :)

So, the 'Manly' version of the FGS then?
(FGS = Fan Girl Squeal)

I'm still stunned that you managed to make them Snarf.
O.o

All the more amusing because I've never watched Thundercats.

I think that Thundercats haven't spilled through the Iron Curtain enough for me to be exposed to them. I have a vague idea that I saw a few scenes of them but nothing tangible enough for any bit of plot. I might saw them on RAI Uno in nineties - images remembered but no comprehension of what was actually happening because of language barrier. Or maybe those were just a few flashes here and there.

Not so.
I was born a bit late for Thundercats. I'm more of the Ninja Turtles, Batman TAS, Amazing Spiderman, X-Men cartoon, Beast Wars, ReBoot, Gargoyles generation kid.
Youtube man! you're never too old for cartoons about human-cat hybrids fighting an ancient stupid as f$#@ mummy lord for world domination:-p

Mostly, I suspect, because the entire show was nonsense. Also terrible. So, very, delightfully terrible.

Fixed that for you!
No, really, it was gloriously terrible!
(Also, I, too, grew up on those cartoons - except for Beast Wars - but Thundercats are entirely worthwhile. Worth noting, I remember nothing about Silverhawks other than the intro and toys, which I loved (though I don't remember that intro at all - I probably never saw it; I just recall the song starting at ~2:37 or so). ... man, I could keep linking things here forever...)
