Monday Forum - another as you will

Today's Monday Forum is another as you will. I know conversation is proceeding on other posts and I haven't responded. It's just been an odd day!

I thought that this graphic, I have no idea where I got it from, summarises certain aspects of girl-boy stuff. My female friends may disagree!

So where do you want to go in this forum? Strange digressions welcome.

Update

Such a rich comment thread this Forum! For that reason, I am bringing my response up in the post itself. I leave you to read the comments for further details.

I was challenged on the sex of these two. I stick by my view that the one on the right is clearly a girl. 

I agree with 2 tanners that kvd still holds the palm for obscure citations/quotations. This was the quote: 

"At 8am, I had a warm, morning chi drink on my way to the school drop off, drunk in the car! It contains more than 25 grams of plant protein, thanks to vanilla mushroom protein and stone ground almond butter, and also has the super endocrine, brain, immunity, and libido- boosting powers of Brain Dust, cordyceps, reishi, maca, and Shilajit resin. I throw ho shou wu and pearl in as part of my beauty regime. I chase it with three quinton shots for mineralization and two lipospheric vitamin B-complex packets for energy." For lunch, I had zucchini ribbons with basil, pine nuts, sun-cured olives, and lemon, with green tea on the side. This is such an easy, elegant, and light meal. I made this while on a phone meeting before heading out for the rest of the work day. I often alternate this with my other lunch staple: a nori roll with umeboshi paste, avocado, cultured sea vegetables, and pea sprouts.”

Legal Eagle was understandably puzzled as was I. What, she asked, is vanilla mushroom protein?

This is the source of kvd’s quote: HOWHOLLYWOOD'S FAVORITE JUICE BAR OWNER EATS EVERY DAY. The subtitle reads "Amanda Chantal Bacon, founder of Moon Juice, has a diet full of ingredients we've never even heard of". Quite! And for Legal Eagle’s benefit, Vanilla Mushroom Protein is defined in this way: 

“Moon Juice protein is crafted in small batches with the most powerful plant alchemy on earth. While our raw, whole grain brown rice is sprouted for bioactivity and availability, natural plant enzymes digest almost all of the carbohydrates. This bio-fermentation produces easily assimilable protein and amino acids, supporting healthy muscle growth and recovery. Powerful servings of reishi and cordyceps mushrooms boost the immune system, build muscle and stamina, and support the liver, kidney and adrenals. This formula also nourishes the heart and spirit, relieving stress and imparting feelings of centeredness and strength. Ingredients: Activated Brown Rice Protein, Tocotrienols, Mesquite, Cordyceps, Reishi, Stevia, Vanilla.”

I hope that’s all clear now.

Ceding kvd the palm for most obscure quotation, 2t issued his own challenge to kvd asking for.  

A quotation, citation, web reference or what-have-you involving fish, pottery, nannies and NGOs (all of which have been mentioned recently). Extra points if you can link it to an anti-smoking campaign. But no cheating by using either Ted Cruz or Donald Trump. Any other dribble-at-the-mouth crazy is fair game but those two dominate Google so much that some of the pollsters are comparing % Google searches on them as a polling dynamic!”

kvd has yet to respond to the challenge. Meanwhile, Legal Eagle has discovered the fascinating piece of information that Donald Trump orders his steak well-done: 

In all this, 2t retains the palm for cooking. I will leave you to read his recipes in comments, the beef shins sound delicious, although I do wonder whether or not PC rules out a possible cookbook entitled A Blokes Cookbook! However, it’s good to see that he has influenced kvd to actually try one dish. It wasn’t a total success, missing out a key requirement, a non-stick fry pan. Sadly, tanners, I don’t have a non-stick fry pan.

I now leave it to you all to continue commenting.
