And that sounds delicious. I would try it, but I don't have the patience to wait that long for a delicious potato.

Re: Soap operas.
that's a terrible analogy. i think italy importing noodles from east asia originally or something similar would have made a better argument... just throwing that out.

Or the stereotype of Asians. Although I've never really seen any Asians driving in south Florida. Not that that means there aren't any, just that I'm not very attentive to who's driving other cars near me.

Re: Soap operas.
My racism and sexism class states that there are "Identities".
Age is an identity. Race and sex are. Sexual preference, religion or lack thereof (or one of those philisophical paths that shouldn't qualify but due to political correctness do out of insistance), political affiliation (to some degree), as well as several other things.
This is how they treat it. I'm sorry. Just ignore it if I've hindered your convo. I just like to say things that I've just learned and pretend that i've always known them. That way I can pretend I'm intelligent.

I'd compare it more to most people thinking the Wright brothers were the first people to sustain flight. Wrong, but what is considered common 'knowledge'. Going for what people should/think they should know.

Then we all know what I must do, don't we?
By the way, you're supposed to imagine me sobbing like a woman who lied about being a virgin to her husband during their honeymoon.
With my brother?!?

Re: Soap operas.
Did I mention the lesbian that fell in love with a male rock star, who was secretly a drag queen attracted to women but wanted to become one? The lesbian loved him because he considered him a her and he considered him to be a her. I don't know what happened.
Or mabey the one where everyone was in a fairy tale, and the fat woman couldn't get the man she was crushing on. She was miserable the whole time, so in the end, the drunk woman who didn't appear in that episode until that point popped up as a fairy godmother and granted her her wish to be in a relationship with the guy. Apparently they're married, their baby died, and the father stole someones baby to pretend it was all good.
OR mabey One Tree Hill, when the CW was formed. They brought back the show after it supposedly had it's series finalie. They started with a four year jump. They made Nathen, the basketball player who had just gotten a college scholarship, partially crippled after a barfight. Last week I found out he's able to play just as fine as he did after the past other three times his character almost died, or when his half brother almost died twice.
