    Attempting to feed people disgusting patties made of ground up offal, just because they happen to be gay and would like to make official a monogomous commitment to each other, is utterly cruel, totally disgusting and clearly a breach of basic human rights.

    • moe says:

      Maybe they don’t cook them. Maybe “grilled” means they just ask them questions.

      • dr handle says:

        Oh dear, now I have another Kevin Bloody Wilson song playing in my head – “Oohhhhhhhhhhhhh the Festival of Light keep tryin’ to save my f$&%ing soul…”

      • JohnB says:

        You might be right, since just before they got grilled, they were caught “smirneika,” which sounds like it involves smearing and nakedness. And then, if they don’t like the answers, they end up as sis kebab.

        • blueJade says:

          I think it involves smirking and nakedness… no one has ever asked me to participate so I can’t be sure…

          • JohnB says:

            Smirking while naked suggests arrogance. I’d decline the invite.

            • blueJade says:

              Good instinct on that! Come to think of it, a lot of nudity involves arrogance…

              • JohnB says:

                How curious! I keep trying to give blueJade a plus on that, because I don’t think she deserves to have just a minus sitting there, and every time I do it says, “thank you,” goes up momentarily, and then disappears! Somebody is rigging these votes!!!!

            • dr handle says:

              Well, whatever informed consenting adults get up to in the privacy of their own homes is their business, so if people want to smirk whilst nekkid, then as long as the smirking is mutual, then I say go for it.

              • JohnB says:

                I’m sorry, but naked smirking may be seemly for youngsters, but by middle age, if you think you’ve got anything to smirk about when naked, you’re delusional!

                • bluejade says:

                  Actually, it’s an aggressive behavior by upper-middle aged foisted on young, beautiful, people on sugar sand beaches in the tropics. They’re trying to scare the crap out of the young people, and it works!

                  • paws4thot says:

                    And the problem is (other than not being able to stay on sugar sand beaches all year and watch young people being freaked out)?

                • dr handle says:

                  Pish tosh – my husband and I intend to go on smirking at each other through middle age and beyond. So long as the delusions are mutual, we’re going to enjoy them for as long as we can!

                  • JohnB says:

                    When you look upon someone with the eyes of love, they remain beautiful to you regardless of changes in their physical appearance. The same does not happen to most of us when we look at our own bodies! I consider myself a reasonably attractive man for my age, but you won’t catch me hanging out naked or even, for that matter, in a Speedo, smirking at the Adonis-like figure I am projecting. Wrinkles! Scars! Age spots! Varicose veins! Spider veins! Sagging skin! Thinning skin! Cottage-cheese deposits! Turkey wattles! Arthrosis of joints! Osteoporosis! Need I go on? I’m perfectly willing to concede that there are more older people in relatively good shape and relatively more attractive than was true 50 years ago. That doesn’t mean I want to see 80-year-old women in teeny weeny bikinis or obese 50-year-old men, for that matter, in Speedos. Get a grip, people! Age is NOT just a number!

                    • dr handle says:

                      That’s where the mutual smirking comes into its own. My husband is a much more appreciative audience than I am of myself.
                      I look in the mirror, and think the following words: “Hell’s bells, the boobs are a bit droopy, the thighs are thunderous, the scars are looking lividly hot pink, the damaged bits are creaking like a haunted house – I don’t mind that I have a bit of body fat, it’s normal for adults of my sex, but sometimes I just wish I hadn’t been conditioned to loathe myself, even now, knowing what I know…”
                      The words my husband thinks out of that lot are “Hell’s bells – boobs – thighs – pink – bits – have – sex – now…”

                  • PoodleGroomer says:

                    Sometimes being with one’s true love inspires carnal passion and lust. Sometimes it is quiet comfort and warmth. Sometimes it is convulsive laughter. All are good

    • PoodleGroomer says:

      I am so thankful for B and other vitamins. Anemia and lot of other serious diseases were caused by vitamin deficiencies and nobody knew the cause. People that ate the offal didn’t have most of those problems (except gout). If your vitamin levels are low, or you have developed a tolerance for it, it tastes ok. I cook the packet in the chicken and pass it to the dog.

      • JohnB says:

        I certainly agree with your thankfulness for vitamins! Even physicians are finally coming to recognize that virtually no one gets all the vitamins they need in what they eat, an argument I used to have with them all the time.

    • JohnB says:

      An Emo Muffin is apparently a type of meathead. Smartass.

    • AceMcDonut says:

      erm… am I the only one here who’s cringing at all these american comments? this isn’t a mistranslation nor a fail… a faggot is a traditional name for a meat-ball, was the original meaning before the americans corrupted it.

      yeesh, get a passport.

      • paws4thot says:

        Apparently, yes. I’m not American, and like a good double entendre, particularly when a young lady gives me one!

  2. Sinatra says:

    Wow that’s a bit extreme.

  3. Droll not Troll says:

    Sis kebab? Whose sister, and does she taste like lamb?

  4. TheCannyScot says:

    What, dare I ask, is the yogurt glue? And this Kebab family needs better names for the kids. Sis, here’s your little brother, Yogurt Glue.

    • JohnB says:

      Make sure you buy the Australia yogurt glue, and then you can have anyone free. But choose wisely! You may end up stuck with ‘em.

  5. AtomicPunk says:

    THEY GRILLED CLAY AIKEN!

  6. KinkyTom says:

    So either the food is made from gay people or bundles of sticks o.O

  7. That dude says:

    Om nom nom

  8. Lawlin' at things noone else ever lawls at like the word moose says:

    Anyone but me wondering what Gyros giaourtoglou is?

    • dr handle says:

      Well, ‘Giaourtlou’ is usually a yoghurt mint sauce, and gyros refers to something on a spit roasted slowly over hot coals, usually lamb. Stuffed with rosemary and garlic. Now I’m starting to drool. Chuck in some galaktobouriko and call me Despina.

      • Droll not Troll says:

        Gyros= yiros in my neck of the woods.

        • JohnB says:

          In my neck of the woods (which is, in this case, rather literal) they generally have no idea what Greek food is. When I lived in Lexington, which likes to think of itself as a big city, they had a couple of Greek restaurants, and I would often hear someone order a “jai-rho.” I was always hoping one of the waiters would come back with a little spinning gyroscope on a plate, but alas, they never did.

          • paws4thot says:

            Now that’s funny – as I said elsewhere, if I don’t get something you say, it’s because you’re even more meta than I am (and that can be pretty meta).

      • JohnB says:

        Galaktobouriko is a problem in the Despina Galaxy these days. Or so my sources tell me. When those supermassive black holes at the center start to absorb the barred arms, it’s all downhill from there…

        • dr handle says:

          If the custard is done properly, it should not be dense enough to form a black hole. Too many egg yolks and not enough semolina, probably.

          • JohnB says:

            Yeah, you’ve got to watch that density. Galaktobouriko is bad enough, but then it inevitably progresses to galaktobouritis and galaktoborosis. But I hear they’re actually dealing with a malignant galaktobouroma over in Despina. Lights out!

            • dr handle says:

              Galaktobourosis = a process or condition of galaktobouriko? Mmmmmm, yes, I’d like to contract that chronically. Galaktobouritis = inflammation of the galaktobouriko? As in, it gets bigger? Sign me up for that! Galaktobouroma = a (probably) benign growth of galaktobouriko? YES!!! If it does turn out to be malignant, I shall die with such a beautifully serene and contented smile on my face that Renaissance artists will rise from the dead to paint me…

    • cest says:

      It’s slices of spiced meat roasted on a spit with a yogurt sauce.

  9. Chrisfs says:

    I’m concerned by the dish sis kebab, but not as much as I would be by bro kebab

  10. Graham says:

    Engrish fail. Nothing to see here.

    • JohnB says:

      Apparently, lots of people see things you can’t. Think about it. That may mean you are blind, or perhaps you merely have your anterior confined within the interior of your posterior.

      • Droll not Troll says:

        Another JohnB gem! The last part of your comment is even better than “rectocranial inversion”, my favourite description of the problem until now.

        • PoodleGroomer says:

          I like to refer to it by its procedure name, autocolonoscopy.

          • JohnB says:

            That’s a good name! A few years back I had a client at a residential facility who made a vigorous effort to flush his head down the toilet. We didn’t know how to label the behavior, so I dubbed it “auto-swirly.”

      • blueJade says:

        You guys are good, I’m gonna stock up on insults!

  11. j3k says:

    I love driving with ma nu mezedes 8)

  12. ShadowSplicer says:

    does anybody notice the sis kaboab? i mean, srsly! who would eat grilled sister? (besides canniblals)

  13. LarsVonPowerstone says:

    Sooo…grilled or flaming?

    • JohnB says:

      Flaming pretty much removes any need for grilling.

      • Droll not Troll says:

        You can grill a flaming f@ggot, but you may not get any useful answers.

        • PoodleGroomer says:

          The answers are usable suggestions for reality show script drama.

          • paws4thot says:

            Speaking of which, good news!!

            Channel 4 (UK) are making Big Brother 2010 the last ever! :D

            • dr handle says:

              I refuse to watch a Big Brother episode unless they issue the contestants live ammunition.

              • JohnB says:

                Each season they seem to scrape up an ever-more revolting batch of narcissitic creeps! This time I didn’t make it through the first episode.

                • hollyr57 says:

                  But no one ever reached the heights (or depths) of my favorite reality show “My Big Red-Neck Wedding”. Sadly, it’s been canceled and I will have to live without knowing how others with more imagination than funds throw themselves a highly personal and often muddy nuptial party.

  14. captainobvious says:

    Hey, this restaurant was in vietnam and it was great, Glo Ri Hol, I think.

  15. Symeon says:

    grammatically is correct but translation into English sometimes can be funny. on the english version of a greek restaurant’s site, i had read that they offer a “variety of weed”. No they didn’t mean you can get stoned in various ways….i can see you thinking of amsterdam already!!! translating that to back to greek it makes sense but the literal translation was not very succesful

  16. TheBluesBreaker says:

    lololol what a mess =D but that’s actually english, sis is not
    “sister” it’s “şiş” that means some sort of skewer which
    the kebabs are usually cooked on.. But i don’t get it, “şiş”
    is a Turkish word, not Greek =D =D

    • Droll not Troll says:

      *facepalm* We were having too much fun & missed the obvious! I think it’s usually spelled “shish” kebab in English, though, since most people who speak only English would have no idea how to pronounce the ş.

    • paws4thot says:

      Given the similarities (but don’t mention them to Greeks or Turks) between Greek and Turkish cookery, I wouldn’t sweat it.

  17. Tea says:

    Most people don’t know that. I didn’t, i knew it was technique in cooking though, it’s in my Vincent Price cook book.

  18. EHW2 says:

    WHO THE HELL CARES??? THANKS FOR RUINING THE JOKE
