should i ask my parents for a digital camera or a food processor for my birthday?

[xfer]

it's in October so I have plenty of time to think about it. not that they'll actually get me either, i guess.

def. the cam, dude. then you can post pics here ala baliset and the_prep.

be proactive and preempt your mom's tendency to buy underwear and/or shirts.

digital camera > food processor.

you can always do work-arounds for things you'd use a FP for, but this is not true with a digital camera.

 

[xfer]

she bought me underwear last month and i had to give it to Toby because it was in fairy colors.

 

[minxnim]

dude you can get a FP easily. i actually got a blender instead and it does all the same stuff. plus dc's are so much more expensive. ask for the camera.

 

[xfer]

and it's obvious your answers are all self-serving so try SHOWING SOME ALTRUISM maybe. think of how awesome a food processor will be!

(although i do already have a little baby one)

What exactly does a food processor do? Doesn't it just chop up food and couldn't you just do that with a knife?

 

[lizard]

okay how about this:
by pushing for a DC, YOU will be able to post pics here and receive accolades and hosannahs for YOUR shutter prowess. YOU will beam with pride at how YOU entertained us and we were so incredibly appreciative of YOU.

keep in mind Frosty that these pampered east coast types are so spoiled. they have no ken of exploding grain elevators or anything remotely resembling real life

 

[xfer]

well you can make purees with it, and chopping stuff is much easier and you can do larger quantities at once. also you can grate things (and i don't own a grater). plus if anyone pisses me off, i can slowly force their hand toward the spinning blades.

 

[avi]

you can do all those things with a mortar and pestle

 

[FrostGiant]

I'd ask for a digital food processing camera.

 

[xfer]

Nunsense. I can't force peoples' hands toward a slowly pounding PESTLE.

 

[avi]

sure you can! you're just a spoiled east coast patsy!

 

[xfer]

i'm not Baba fucking Yaga.

 

[goatschool]

you get take-out all the time anyhow, don't you?

the local ethnicities are counting on this camera.

and don't be froofy and say that this is the impetus to cook for yourself more, just get the camera and stop being a whiney stankass.

 

[xfer]

i guess i get takeout less than anyone in my house, though.

i was just surfing the black n decker website to see if i could buy a replacement part for the mini processor i DO own, and i can't seem to find anything that even resembles it?

why don't you just get a fucking magic carpet genie lamp weird mustard seed destabilizer and stop beating around the bush.
