My theory has always been that heavy beer consumption there made it unnecessary to develop good cuisine.
Also true of the Puritans?
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I need more songs about zombies.
You might try asking in the music thread, but here's a few:
I Walked with a Zombie by Roky Erickson
Eye of the Zombie by John Fogerty
All you Zombies by The Hooters
Zombie by The Cranberries
That's just off the top of my head.

Oh, right. Days of Swine and Roses is a song by My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult with the chorus "Christian zombie vampires." I wouldn't say it's about zombies, really, but at least it mentions them!

Food, like smells, is sometimes a personal preference issue and sometimes an actual physical issue. Think that sentence may not have made sense.
right. sometimes your body reacts to it because it's not good for you. I am by no means a picky eater, but the smell of spearmint makes me physically nauseous. If someone is chewing spearmint gum, I can't talk to them. I don't know if I'm allergic, because I've never gotten close enough to it to try.

From the Bush on the economy article Cashmere linked to upthread:
On one issue particularly worrisome to American consumers, there are indications that paying $4 for a gallon of gasoline is not out of the question once the summer driving season arrives. Asked about that, Bush said "That's interesting. I hadn't heard that. ... I know it's high now."
Well, gee, I definitely will take the word of someone who is so in touch with the average American's financial needs!
This I offer without comment:
"We'll make it through this period just like we made it through other periods of uncertainty during my presidency," Bush said.

It would be a bad idea to eat a whole (small) bag of sugar-free chocolate caramel drops just because the bag tore when I opened it, right? It's only two servings, though...
