Title: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: BrusselSprouts on 06 Nov 2013, 21:45: ...but I'm unoriginal and can't be bothered coming up with a better username.

Hi everyone! 18 year old ex-exchange student here, who's way too into anime and western cartoons. Also webcomics, but that's pretty self-evident huh? I am also a player of Zelda, a part-time deli girl and a full time lesbian.

Hi!

Post by: Kugai on 07 Nov 2013, 11:57: I am not a fan of the Vegetable, but you've got nothing to worry about since you're not a Vegetable. ;D

Here, have a Doughnut.

Geeze, you're a fast eater ;)

Post by: BrusselSprouts on 07 Nov 2013, 17:20: I can't eat that doughnut though! It's disappearing in front of my own eyes D:

and the best way to eat brussel sprouts is the good old fashion Belgian way. Beer, bacon and LOT'S of cheese

Post by: Azumas_Revenge on 08 Nov 2013, 07:33: We have something in common: a nickname (given to me by my evil older sister) for a brief growing up was "Brussel Sprout", and the just "Sprout".
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: BrusselSprouts on 08 Nov 2013, 14:28: I've been called all sorts of nicknames pertaining to my shortness (I'm 5'2.5)
Mutt
Sprout
Smalls
Shrimp
Baby (and later, Crybaby)
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: Azumas_Revenge on 08 Nov 2013, 14:43: You're taller than some people in my family. I think my mother topped out at 5 ft even. I'm about 6 ft, but that about average around here with all the nordic ancestry.

I got 'Brussel Sprout' as a nickname as as Brussel rhymes with with my given name.

I'll gladly let you have the BrusselSprouts name and all that it stands for. :-D

Post by: rschill on 08 Nov 2013, 17:16: Hi new person. like Brussel's Sprouts They're like cute little cabbages, which I also quite like.

Post by: Is it cold in here? on 08 Nov 2013, 22:30: Welcome aboard!

I wonder how many food-related screen names we have. We should get someone named after a beer to go with you and LePetitFromage.
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: BrusselSprouts on 09 Nov 2013, 09:28: Yes, let's have Belgian culture take over the forum. We could have Gaufre (Waffle), Frites, Foie Gras (eww) the possibilities are endless

We'll just have to recruit some people
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: ~~GarandMarine~~ on 09 Nov 2013, 13:28: I might end up working for a Belgian firm at some point. I'd love to move to Belgium if FN would offer me a position there!
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: BrusselSprouts on 09 Nov 2013, 18:02: If you have the chance, I'd totally go for it! Belgium's an awesome country, especially since it's in the middle of Europe (or pretty close), so international travel is a snap. Not to mention the food, which is a definite 11/10
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: ~~GarandMarine~~ on 10 Nov 2013, 06:38: We'll see, chances are if FN brings me on it would be with FN Herstal here in the states. Which is still cool, but not quite as cool as getting to move overseas.

Post by: 94ssd on 10 Nov 2013, 14:26: I do not, in fact, hate burssel sprouts.

Now if your username was GreenBean... :x

Anyway, welcome.

Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: BrusselSprouts on 11 Nov 2013, 09:56: What vegetable do you eat on Thanksgiving then?
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: ~~GarandMarine~~ on 11 Nov 2013, 10:12: Mashed Potatoes, Corn, Green Beans, the list goes on.
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: mtmerrick on 11 Nov 2013, 11:05: What GarandMarine says. Normally green beans in the form of green been casserole, in my family.
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: BrusselSprouts on 11 Nov 2013, 12:20: The thought of eating corn on Thanksgiving seems so foreign to me. Corn is something you eat in the summer! We buy ours from the back of a guy's pick up truck. He hauls it in all the way from the Okenagan on the other side of BC
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: mtmerrick on 11 Nov 2013, 18:36: huh. corn is a fall harvest food here. (http://www.gulfcoasteuros.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/shrug.gif)
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: ~~GarandMarine~~ on 12 Nov 2013, 04:25: I eat corn year round in the manner of one who is successful in business.

My mom also makes this INCREDIBLE corn casserole that I am going to be sorely missing this year... actually I think I'm going to be alone for the American Giving of Thanks holiday, so I shall most likely resort to the traditional bachelor meal of delivery Chinese food.
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: mtmerrick on 12 Nov 2013, 07:28: See, garand, normally I would be completely onboard w with that, but, STUFFING.

Also pumpkin pie.
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: Method of Madness on 12 Nov 2013, 08:43: Stuffing is my favorite part of Thanksgiving.
Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: BrusselSprouts on 12 Nov 2013, 10:11: Agreed. Stuffing is the best part of Thanksgiving. I'm not a huge pumpkin pie fan though. Too sweet for me.

Man I can't wait for Christmas so I can have turkey again.

Post by: Method of Madness on 12 Nov 2013, 11:27: Ah right, Canadian. You celebrate the second Monday in October the correct way.

Title: Re: I'm probably named after a vegetable you hate
Post by: ankhtahr on 12 Dec 2013, 20:26: But if it wasn't me, then why were you gone?
