Pessi - zero. all you need is a hammer and determination.

Potir - I'm sure it is, but luckily for me, this isn't my arm.

[Potironette]

Well, I suppose it's not Galla's arm.

Do you eat lollipops?

[Gallagher]

I actually don't care for sweets. I have the occasional piece of chocolate and sometimes gummies, but that's about it. Anything blue raspberry flavor I love, but not all blue raspberry is candy.

What is blue raspberry if not candy?

[Gallagher]

It's a drink flavor, too. It gets made into syrups for sodas and those icee things. It comes from a real species of raspberry, but has a lot of blue dye added.

[Potironette]

I guess blue raspberries are blue in order to look better then.

Which one's better, cake or pie?

[Gallagher]

Pie, I love pumpkin pie and turtle pie. I don't like cake or cupcakes.

Mugs, opaque cups with handles but are not mugs, glasses (the see-through kind), plastic cups without handles, or paper cups?
-I seem to be running out of questions xD-

[Gallagher]

I have a rotation of 4 cups that I use on a regular basis.

1. is tall, thin white plastic with blue print and horse pictures advertising the Chincoteague horse swim.

2. is thick pink plastic with a my little pony design.

3. is clear plastic mug style molded to look like a skull.

4. is a ceramic mug with a red and blue flower design.

What is the Chincoteague horse swim :o ?

[Gallagher]

There's an island that has a herd of wild ponies living on it, and every year, they get guided across the water so some of them can be auctioned off. A lot of people gather to watch the horses swim, even if they don't plan on attending the auction.

[Potironette]

Have you been the the Chincoteague horse swim? Why do you have a cup advertising the Chincoteague horse swim?

[Gallagher]

I have been actually, yeah. It happens every July.

It's pretty neat. It helps to keep the population in check, because the island is not very large and not very fertile, and the auctions earn money for the community. It's run by the Virginia Fire Company, if I remember correctly.

How deep is the water? That is, how can ponies be led in the water and is it possible for them to drown :/?

[Pessimisticat]

Total cheats D:

I'm retyping this post because it got eaten in last night's routine maintenance.

Back in...fourth grade, or something, my elementary school had one of its annual walk-arounds (walk-athon, whatever). There were prizes (really shitty prizes) for reaching lap milestones, and the reward for two laps or something was a cup of orange juice.

So the volunteers for the event (my mom included) did the usual and went around local fast food chains and other restaurants to get donations. McDonald's was our go-to for juice and beverages, so they gave us two huge barrels of "orange juice".

I was way slower than most kids at the time (still am, but, eh), and by the time I'd hit the milestone for the orange juice, it was...pretty warm. And hence the drinks were also pretty warm. But I was too tired/thirsty to really care, and so I got a tiny paper cup of the stuff, drank some, and....ew.

It was really, really nasty.

The stuff was this clear, orange...liquid. Kind of like liquid orange jello, before you stick it in the fridge. I ran over to my dad and demanded he try it, and basically take what was left.

I don't think much of the stuff got drank that day. Most of the stuff that did, was probably by parents, whose kids also complained to them and gave them their still-very-full cups.

Yeah, the stuff was pretty damn terrible.

Years later, I mentioned this to my mom, and we figured that Mickey D's had given us barrels of orange soda powder, mixed with water. It wasn't even carbonated (that would have just been orange soda, I guess). It was worse than warm, flat orange soda.
