During my teenage years, living in the remote forests of British Columbia, my family came upon hard times and could not afford to buy enough food for our fifty cats. As I wandered nude around the encampment, I came across three cats fighting ferociously over some cobs we'd stripped of corn over dinner the night before. I'll never forget the murderous gleam in those cat's eyes as they defended their cobs from one another. I was just as shocked to see these cats, so long viewed as pure carnivores by myself, to consume vegetable matter as I was later to see three hens, which I had always perceived as herbivores, to violently seize, kill and devour a rat that attempted to rush past them. Nature is cruel. Cob save us all.

The-Mole posted:Nebraskan corn is better than Iowan corn. ^^^ Also as the son of corn farmers and an unauthorized agent of the Corn Council I can definitively say that any negative experiences with cobs can be attributed to foreign saboteurs.

When I was studying Spanish in Mexico, I befriended a young woman from the University of Minnesota. She was a lightning rod for bad luck. Even though she knew this, she insisted in trying food from the street vendors. This is elote - Mexican corn on the cob:
4 ears corn, in husks 8 sprigs epazote 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 1/3 cups crumbled cotija cheese 4 tsp. ancho chile powder 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add corn and epazote, and cook (adding more water, if necessary) until corn is tender, about 1 hour. Remove from water and let the corn cool briefly. Peel back husks and spread 1 tbsp. butter evenly over each ear, then brush with 2 tbsp. mayonnaise and sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese and 1 tsp. chile powder. Serve with lime wedges. It looks delicious doesn't it? Well it is, but my UoM friend had to pick the one cob that was terribly contaminated. She got severe food poisoning and ended up in the hospital. Although it didn't happen to me, it was the most negative experience of cobs that I've ever witnessed. ShuckyDucky fucked around with this message at Jan 2, 2013 around 21:01 |

My uncle's dog ate a cob of corn once, and it got stuck in her upper intestine. They had to operate, and she was pretty sick afterwards. The cob showed no respect to me or my family throughout the entire incident, typical cob.

She does a lazy version with canned corn in a pan on the stove (possibly because of negative experiences with cobs).

I was driving acrosst Nebraska this one time and I saw a corb and a cob yelling at each other on the side of the road. I pulled over, leaned out my window and asked if they needed any help. They both turned to me simultaneously and yelt "NO!" They they looked at each other and laughed. The corb clapped the cob on the shoulder and said "I guess we aren't so different after all! Come on, help me beat this guy with a rubber hose." Then they dragged me from my car and beat the bejeazus out of me.

They keep showing up in my yard all the time and I have no idea how. I'm 4+ miles away from any kind of farmland and I don't know that corn is even grown in OK. I'm guessing maybe squirrels or possums bring them in in violation of my property rights, I have not granted POA to any of these animals that they could act as an agent thereof hereto myself and forthwith allow the cobs onto my property. Unknowingly running over a cob with a lawnmower is a surprising loud sound but when you know there's one less cob in the world it's sort of satisfying.

I took a pair of boots to the local cobbler to get the heels redone, as I didn't care for the sound they made when I walked on marble or tile. He attached some rubber to the heels, which solved the problem, and I couldn't have been happier with the result. Except my boots now have a black stripe on the heel. What, they didn't have brown? loving cobs.

I had some cobs on the barby last week and they took a long time to cook, so I sorta left them unattended but I had just cooked a bunch of meat too which resulted in a pretty massive grease fire and I had to use my fire extinguisher.

My sister bought a cob and when I went to see him he almost trod on my foot. Considering he weighs over a ton I'd have a broken foot most likely. He's a total dick. Lucky he can't hold a taser in his hooves I guess.

Butter will just ruin a perfectly good cob. I prefer my cobs all natural, none of that gross butter or salt nonsense. Everyone else can go shuck themselves (a cob) if they disagree.

When I learned in elementary school that some people have historically used cobs as we would use toilet paper, I thought of how abrasive it must be, and wouldn't that damage the skin over time, and have a chance to cause other complications, and so on. I remember feeling kinda upset after that lesson. So you could pretty much say that cobs traumatized me as a child.

I was once in Nottingham and asked for a sausage roll at the chippie. The chipman just stared at me and said "they're called sausage cobs here" and everyone laughed. In short basically the North is terrible and we must never go there.
