How are you alive?

I'm Texan.

[Because that explains everything!]

Fried butter? How in the fuck does that work?

So I've gathered. Is this actually some kind of endurance test where you come from? Only the gastrointestinally sound advance to adulthood?

Sure is. We call them cook-offs. You get to through it without your insides crawlin' up out of your throat in protest and you get your official man-badge at the end.

Are the women excluded, or are they just more sensible?

You're one of those people who eat fried candy bars and make popsicles out of pickle juice, aren't you?

Now all I want is fair food. Have you tried fried cookie dough? It's the best.

I bet we could make some of this. We have kitchens and the ingredients can't be hard to find.

You can't just get one of those deep friers and do it yourself?

Jalapeno corndog shrimps???
Christ on a cracker count me in!

i knew i could count on you english.
you aint disappointed me yet.

no, man.
no.
its not the SAME.
new fryers are too clean they dont get the taste right.
you cant just leave out the lingering aftertaste of the twelve years of fried morsels before and expect it to be satisfying.
