WTF happened the UO thread?

[sonrisa]

Is it worth reading?

[scotty]

It was lot of people being offended by other people's unpopular opinions. It went pretty much exactly as posts like that do here. Near-'f*ck yous' covered up by uncomfortable lols.

[wrathofkuus]

It was apparently full of opinions that were banal and not all that unpopular. We had one of those threads once on Wedding Woes, and someone said that baby sloths aren't cute at all, and are instead pathetically ugly. THAT was unpopular.

[pedanticwench]

My UO was that asparagus is nasty, but no one cared.

Probably because everyone agreed =)

Right? That shit is disgusting.

[sonrisa]

*17* pages of that kind of crap???

[hubes]

I mostly used it to throw some shit out there that I've been ruminating on for a while, but didn't want to seem petty about.

[pedanticwench]

I feel validated. Yes!

[Nicole]

I still don't know what take home baby is.

Edited for offensive wording.

My H says the exact same thing. I have never experienced this. And believe me, I've even sought out this supposed smell.

Oh, and a lot of people don't like Seinfeld.

It's good with salt and pepper and a little evoo. lol

Only if it's roasted in the oven!

[mamasaurus]

I was wondering that, too. I clicked on a random page just to see and was like, "This will take an hour to read. I can do the dishes and play five rounds of veggie samurai in an hour."

I like asparagus, though, just not raw.

I heard that only some people are capable of smelling ( or was it making? ) asparagus pee. I don't know where I heard it from. I might be totally wrong.

[flex]

Asparagus is the bomb.

[Nicole]

Also, remember in jr high where they made you test your senses and gave you this piece of paper to put on your tongue (it wasn't acid I promise) and only a rare group of people can actually taste the bitter.


Well, I was one of those people! AND my pee doesn't smell from asparagus!

An embryo/fetus/child that survives to term, is not still born and does not die shortly after birth at the hospital. It's generally used by people who have previously lost pregnancies or infants.

It's genetic! Also the taste of cilantro; some people love it but others say it's repulsive and tastes like soap (or other nasty stuff).

[alzi]

I love roasted asparagus, but with my super nose the first few weeks pregnant, I overdid it and could not handle peeing every 5 minutes smelling asparagus pee.

I haven't had it since. lol

Hmm. I can smell asparagus pee and love cilantro. Crazy!

An embryo/fetus/child that survives to full term, is not still born and does not die shortly after birth at the hospital. It's generally used by people who have previously lost pregnancies or infants.

Whatever you may think of the words, it's best to avoid calling it all "nonsense" (since the pain is real even if the chosen terminology is questionable).

Thanks for the clarification. I truly had no idea what it meant, and didn't mean to offend anyone for the use of "nonsense."

I assumed you didn't (and edited that out because it was meant as a heads up about a touchy subject, not a chastisement).

I didn't take it as a chastisement. I do appreciate you educating me on this. I would feel horrible if I offended someone with that comment.
