    This 'fear of ketchup' seems pretty deeply ingrained in society. I know I love the stuff (anything tomato based, really) but one friend of mine is deathly afraid of the stuff. Bizarre stuff.

    None of you should go to this, by the way:

    It's terrific fun, but some of you mightn't make it through. It's like bathing in a sea of Heinz when surrounded by tens of thousands of drunken revelers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,772 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    see that wouldnt bother me because its actual real tomatoes. Not processed **** that put into a bottle that has so much **** in it its not even called by a fruit or a flavour. Its named from the colour of it "red".

    Well there's 'ketchup' and 'red sauce' (the latter more a nickname than an official title). Good ketchup is, and always shall be, a delicious condiment.

    Heinz > Chef > that horrible industrial strength stuff you find at dodgy hotdog stands. I also understand there's a sort of gourmet ketchup craze going on. Haven't tried any of it myself.

    Had a bit of a Halloween party last night. Thought it would be a bit of craic to get everyone out into the garden and set a Chinese lantern off into the sky.

    It wasn't until we lit the thing that it dawned on me that it was pretty much just an extremely flammable paper sack with a giant flame in the middle.

    Went for it anyway, let the thing fill with hot air and it slowly started to lift out of our hands....

    We let it go too soon. Bad idea. It rose to about 15 feet, glided over our hedge and into next doors extremely manicured garden - where it lodged in their big apple tree and decided to go up in flames.

    A big freak out came next. 'Maybe it'll go out?!' 'maybe it'll dislodge!' '**** no! their tree is going to go on fire!'

    So we ran around to the front door.

    Just as we were about to ring the bell, dressed as zombies, with their back garden looking like judgement day had come, the lantern somehow disloged itself and flew up away into the sky.

    Standard fireworks would have been safer!

    We had a similar moment of pyromancy when someone decided it would be a swell idea to duct tape fifteen sparklers together.

    It was amongst the most visually impressive five seconds I've seen recently. The nearby plant, however, didn't come out so happily.

    Like a cross between the arcade shooter Viewpoint (graphically) and Robotron, in arcade mode. Not played the Adventure mode yet. Very nice.
