Istari posted:I too always thought it was to do with the size. In my defense, I never thought they were big enough to be from an actual buffalo, and I've never seen a buffalo wing (do we even have them in Australia ?). That probably explains the other poster's confusion as well. I just took it for granted that everyone had some exposure to them.

Aphrodite posted:A lot of places differentiate around here. Buffalo wings aren't usually breaded. Chicken wings, fried, drenched in hot sauce (some kind of vinegar based thing mixed with butter usually). Serve with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks. I thought they had them everywhere (or everywhere in the US/Canada at least), so there's something I just figured out.

In Denmark we just get bags of frozen wings, with varying strengths of spicyness. Why would you want to ruin that with celery sticks and cold dressing? Kidding aside, I would love to try an authentic buffalo wing or 20.

Buffalo Sauce is usually Frank's Red Hot with butter and cayenne. It's really good, but I've tried making it with other hot sauces and it didn't taste the same.

Kidz Bop covered Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand.  Stephen Hillenburg didn't write any Spongebob episodes after the movie came out. Explains the drop in quality. Celery Face has a new favorite as of 03:30 on Oct 6, 2013 |

If that blows your mind, you probably shouldn't be told that there's a German group that has released a dozen albums of rock and pop covers performed as Cantos Gregoriano. Artists covered include Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Queen, AC/DC, Depeche Mode and Pink Floyd.

It gets even weirder: http://www.rockabyebabymusic.com/ Wordless lullaby versions of a lot of pop, rock and even rap songs. Some poor kid is going to think he's heard all of this stuff somewhere before when he gets older and hears the actual songs.

That's one of the whole points of Kidz Bop - they take that dirty heathenish pop music and make it safe for the whole family by rewriting the lyrics to be about friendship and banal things. They do it in places where it doesn't even make sense too, like Justin Bieber songs that are already pretty safe and targeted at tweens.

Clearly, the Kids Bop people had no idea that the song was about a sniper. Also, I love how many people in the thread have indicated that they honestly believed that Buffalo, large animals closely related to Cow, had wings.

Nobody said that at all. They said they thought they were called buffalo wings because in the theoretical universe where a buffalo had wings, they would be huge. Reading comprehension guy.

stratdax posted:Nobody said that at all. They said they thought they were called buffalo wings because in the theoretical universe where a buffalo had wings, they would be huge. Reading comprehension guy. Some people are just clueless when it comes to wings. I went to a restaurant near the University a few years ago and they had "spicy chicken wings" on the menu, served with celery and blue cheese dressing. Being a human being who is aware of the world around me, given that description I naturally assumed they would be buffalo wings. They weren't. They had taken whole wings (all three sections hooked together) and fried them, then dusted them with cayenne. I complained to the waitress, explaining that the menu implied something like buffalo wings, the waitress had no idea what I was talking about. So I explained that they were cut into pieces, then had sauce on them. She asked if I wanted to send them back - no, I would eat them, it's just I thought it would be something else. Then I overhear her talking in the kitchen "He said they're too big!" No, that's not what I said... And that's the moment I figured out that I really don't give a poo poo about fixing someone's restaurant, I'll just never go there again and let them go broke (which of course they did).

I have been to a couple places where they have "wings" on the menu and just give you chicken forearms. But if you order wings you better not be dissatisfied when you get wings. Are you at a small chain bar with skinny waitresses or are you at a chicken joint? That should tell you what kind of wings you are getting.

I always thought it was a song about wanting someone to take them out on a date or some thing. The song is super upbeat to be about something that grotesque.

Princip was in a cafe brooding about the failure of an earlier attempt when the Arch Duke's car just happened to take a wrong turn right in front of him. He ran out and shot them with a pistol.

Alvin and the Chipmunks did a cover of Third Eye Blind's Semi-Charmed Life, a fun song about loving and crystal meth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps03G7WUTXY They at least changed the lyrics.  Edit: some of the lyrics, I think they still sing "I'm packed and I'm holding," "Chop another line like a coda with a curse," "I bump for the drop And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given" and other lines that refer to drug taking.

A long time ago, when I was in High School Band. I complained to the director about the appropriateness of playing 'Smoke on the Water' at Football games, and he told me "If we cut out all the songs about drug use, the only songs left to choose from would be about heartbreak, and good luck cheering the football team on with a song about your girl leaving you." I mean I don't know, find me a good song about how great it is living the the suburbs, with a steady job, wife, 3 kids and driving a minivan around to soccer practice and ballet class. Name one good song about responsible investments and a conservative 401k. The joys of regular health checkups and maintaining proper oral hygiene. I'm sure the songs exist, but they ain't making anyone's top ten list.

Centripetal Horse posted:This post is a piece of new-media performance art, right? I mean, it has to be. Right? I didn't stand on my chair and give a speech about the goddamned wings, I calmly mentioned that given the context (spicy wings, blue cheese and celery) I expected the extremely common thing that is referred to as buffalo wings or hot wings. Then the waitress picked the most irrelevant aspect of my comment (note: comment, not tirade) to relate to the cook or whoever. Edit: As to complaining about what was actually on the menu, it reminds me of the time I went to BWW and stood on my chair to complain about the wings not being from actual buffaloes. Then I took off my fedora and bowed while the whole restaurant clapped and gave me high fives. JDM3 has a new favorite as of 16:32 on Oct 7, 2013 |
