    mayo on fries? Wow. I don't mind mayo on burgers which I actually like. Big fan of Burger King which they do. I love vinegar and ketchup on my fries.

    ...and boy howdy do they ever, even when you ask them to leave it off. One of the reasons I stopped going there a long time ago.

    Yes I'd like a little burger on my Mayo.

    I'm not a big fan of mayo... There are some things that it goes on, many things it does not... BK Grilled chicken... Okay.  I'm not sure if I'd enjoy it on fries... Probably live crickets more, because I would at least be collecting the bet money on that... I doubt anyone would bet me any real amount of cash for fries.   Damn... Now I'm curious if it would be gross or not... The cricket thing too...

    ...ugh, makes me feel nauseous just thinking about that. 

    Here in the states, Mayo seems the condiment/ingredient of choice as well. Most crisp dips (that aren't salsas) are made with it instead of using sour creme. The only thing I could find at the market to dip my baby carrots in was Tzatziki, everything else they had (even at the premium dip bar) was mayo based. 

    Same goes for a lot of salad dressings that aren't vinegar based.

    Yogurt and sour creme are OK for me.

    Not into hummus, too distinct a flavour, even with other spices in it and kind of "heavy" for crisps.

    What ever happened to plain old "Ketchup"?  Or, is that so last century?

    Since technically there can be an infinite number of parallel universes... that, times twelve. Personally, I find the oddest one to be the mutant Oprah/Dick Cheney Spiderman... But it's a little understandable since it takes place in an Oprahverse...    Yeah.... 

    What a coincidence... the Grand Ol' Oprah celebrates her 90th birthday today!  https://www.google.com/#q=grand+ole+opry

    Morning. Sunbeams like an effervescent chorus line glancing from every bright surface painting the steel and glass skyline temporarily gold :)

    Mayonnaise as hair grease. (Yuk!) There was a time when it was fashionable to saturate men's hair with greasy substances and plaster it down to one's head.  As a kid in the 50's I remember "Brylcreem" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brylcreem and other equally disgusting products that my mother made me use to glue my curly hair into place like a helmet.  Even into the 60's in 7th & 8th grade I still used it but by time I was in high school ('63) I stopped using it and have proudly refused to put anything in my hair for the last half century.  The problem is moot now because I have no hair.

    Mayo is awful, so it is Mayo with a comb.

    Then we shan't introduce you to Poutine. Fried potatoes, beef gravy, cheese curds. Recently, any pile of protien, beef, pork, etc.

    Are you Quebecoise?, my friend from Quebec used to go on about that.

    My father was born in Valleyfield, near Montreal. The town has likely been absorbed by Montreal by now. I was born in Ontario, 

    My logic around food is rather egalitarian. When it comes to fries (chips in Ontario), I like potato salad, which has mayo. So why wouldn't mayo be good with fries (food sensitivities aside). Normally, I prefer salt and malt vinager, with ketchup on the side. I also like fries and gravy, another common thing in 1970's Ontario. So other than health considerations (arteries clogging etc.) I like poutine, in small doses, say once a decade. 

    I learned the hard way about food naming. When I first came to the US, I asked for a hamburger and chips. I got a hamburger and a bag of Lay's chips.

    Well, I guess that's better than going to England from the US and asking for a breakfast of sausage gravy on biscuits.

    Of THAT, I am sure. AFTER the server got up from laughing on the floor, you would have gotten cookies with cooking grease poured over it. surprise  Poutine is just about the only dish that Canadians can call their own. Even Tim Horton's doughnuts made it to the US (and there isn't much unique, or Canadian, about them). Although, another Quebecois dish that isn't found elsewhere, commonly, is Tortiere. A pie comprised of pork, veil, onion, celery and a few spices. We always had it around Christmas, though I don't know if that was happenstance, or tradition. I still make one every Christmas, just for the tradition.

    ...always wondered  why don't they make Ethernet cables with a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other (like an extension cord)?

    To connect my workstation to the cable in the room in, I have to go out and purchase a junction, pair of splitters, or multi port switch as the lead does not reach to where my desk is.

    Haven't been able to download and install any content or Daz updates for over a month (including the 4.9 beta as that can only be DLd with the DIM) and I don't look forward to screening all the Windows updates that have most likely backed up.

    I think they make couplers.  Yup, ethernet couplers.

    Dana

    and extension cable   http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/ethernet-extension-cable

    ...wow, so they do make them.  Have to check the US site.

    -----

    ...alas pretty much nothing like the ones pictured on the UK site over 1 ft in length available from vendors here in the States the only 3' one I could find was 3 times the price, after exchange, of the 1M one on the UK site). Seems here they are more into selling you those couplers (some which cost as much or more than the extension cables) or switches.

    The coupler I quoted to you from Amazon was about $1.75.

    ...however, the shipping charges are more than the cost of the item unless the total purchase is over a certain amount (I've run into this before). Don't need to buy anything else.

    Going to check the local second hand geek shop tomorrow, see if I they got any switches in yet.  Last few times all they had were routers.

    Interestinglly, only Americans call it Canadian Bacon (at least a while back). We called it Peameal Bacon. Because it was rolled in Peameal (like oatmeal but with peas). Otherwise known as ham.

    And how much will a switch cost?  I think probably more than the coupler and shipping.  Meh.  It's your money.

    because you took the image link from the thumbnail and not from the full size image.

    I want to watch True Blood but my roommate says she is not a fan of that show and does not want to be one.  I cannot watch it on my tablet so guess I will try to figure something else to do.
