I know, I've seen a movie or two in my lifetime. But this shouldn't be the first thing you're thinking of when someone says "Greek Alphabet". Don't you agree?

I'm not really in the biz of telling people what they should think and when.

 

[Tubobutts]

I don't blame him. It's sad but how often do you actually see any of those used?

I would just hope that there is one thing in the world Dan didn't learn about from either wrestling or video games.

Next thing you're telling me Gyros is made out of lamb.

Spoiler

lol

 

[Antiwhippy]

The best ones are though.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I'd kill to get a good foodtruck gyro right now...

 

[stump sock]

lamb >

 

[Strax]

How do you feel when Dan calls an omega "The God of War symbol"?

Unless you went to an american college I don't know where people should have been exposed to the Omega symbol. At no point was I taught about in school

I haven't had one since I was in Germany a decade ago! I still remember it like it was yesterday. <3

I personally only know what the omega symbol is through videogames.

Videogames such as this!

Never heard of gyro.

Except for Gyro Gearloose

 

[Glitchesarecool]

that is an amazing title Whippy, just amazing

 

[wenis]

The fact that darts is taken seriously is an indictment in the UK, honestly.

YUP.

What is a kebab as opposed to a gyro?

They're these weird flatbread sandwich things that Arby's created.

I tried one to get my fix, was extremely disappointed.

No Arby's in Iceland

Wow, pretty awesome to see some of that behind the scenes stuff for MST3K.

Since I haven't heard of some food here I wanted to ask.

Anybody here eaten Skyr?

 

[Myggen]

Yeah, I was surprised that footage like that just turned up in the credits.

 

[Zaph]

my problem with this ps4k stuff isn't feeling like a second class citizen because i already felt that way as a PC gamer whenever I played on the PS4

Spoiler

BOOM

but if PSVR is going to get fuckt on the OG PS4. It already seemed like trying to pull off proper VR was a tough proposition for the OG PS4 so im wondering how PSVR will be impacted by another piece of better hardware being out there, if at all

Given devs can't make PS4K exclusive games or features, and Sony have stated VR games will fail the TRC if they drop below 60 on original hardware, I'm not really sure where that leaves VR devs? I guess games might look slightly prettier (but they were never going to be stunners to begin with) and get closer to the 90 ideal, but that's not a lot of wiggle-room for a smoother experience or more content.

But then again, depending on developer feedback and consumer adoption, I'm wouldn't be surprised if Sony end up relaxing the exclusivity ban on VR.

Oh my god.

What is a kebab as opposed to a gyro?

Kebab just means roasted or grilled meat. You can use the word Kebab for several dished, ranging from Doener to Cevapcici.

Gyro is Greek and means (a)round. (Doener is Turkish and means (a)round as well.) It describes the way the meat is roasted.

 

[MassiveNights]

Gyros are called kebabs in the UK

looks like something trying to jump on the coattails of the greek yogurt craze

Ooh, I see! I had a lot of Döner in Germany and it was so fucking good, like one of the best things I've ever eaten good. I lived with a Turkish family while I was there, so they knew where to get the good shit.

Unless you went to an american college I don't know where people should have been exposed to the Omega symbol. At no point was I taught about in school

Now you're just depressing me. You seriously never learned about Ancient Greece in school? If the only context for the Greek alphabet people have is that they use it for fraternities and video games I'm going to set myself on fire.

I love you.

 

[TraBuch]

No, I'm pretty sure Arby's created it and it's kind of a flatbread wrap with some meat and veggies. I see commercials all the time.

If you only rely on school to get educated, you're doing it wrong.

an Icelandic friend of mine used to complain that she couldn't get it here and our yogurt doesn't fill the same needs

that's all I know about it

 

[Glitchesarecool]

My school touched on it briefly in world history in middle school and maybe once again in like 9th grade. But the alphabet really didn't come up at all, more the accomplishments of the Greeks and the notable figures.

If you only rely on school to get educated, you're doing it wrong.

Oh come on now, this is so up your own ass. Point me to someone who would study the Greek alphabet on their own time that isn't involved in it professionally.

What does Greece have to do with the founding of the US? We don't have time for that shit in our schools!

 

[justjim89]

One summer I took out garbage for a week-long Greek festival in the summer heat. If I never smell lamb roasting on those spinning things ever again, I'll die a happy man.

Gyros are delicious, but that smell is just burned into my brain.

I know you're joking but now I'm going to set all of the world on fire.

 

[Antiwhippy]

If I can surround myself with the smell of roasting meat.

I'd do it.

I can see this point to some degree but come ooooooooon. Alpha and Omega might be the two most known letters in human history. I'm not asking you to recite the Greek Alphabet in its entirety but coooooome ooooooon.

If I can surround myself with the smell of roasting meat.

I'd do it.

Easter is approaching (1/5). We're roasting an entire lamb again, as is tradition. I'll give you my piece of the lamb since I don't like it. And you can argue with my family over who gets to eat the brain if you so desire.

I love history and learned about Ancient Greece in school but the Greek alphabet wasn't a part of it. Maybe there was a picture of all the symbols and their names in the textbook.

If you only rely on school to get educated, you're doing it wrong.

I'm not saying its the only way I learn but its the only way many people learn, especially in history.

 

[pizzacat]

I actually think that Dan would really like darts.

Most darts tournaments I've seen is usually just a pub expanded to the size of an arena.

I totally see Jeff wasting a weekend watching some of this

one of my favorite things about australia is that we share a deep love of grilling absurd amounts of meat

[Tubobutts]

I wish I was joking...

My hair finally started growing back after the last time I set myself on fire and now I have to do it all over again.

One of the things I can't stand about Dan is that he's one of those people who thinks not having a degree in a subject is an excuse to not have at least a very basic understanding of it.

Gyros are delicious, but that smell is just burned into my brain.

After a particularly heavy bender, that smell is like a bloody siren's call. Doner meat and chips, covered in mayo and chilli sauce is the ideal - just don't ever look at it while you're sober.

Polished off a tub of the strawberry this morning.

I've been in Texas quite a while and I'm yet to see a pig get buried and cooked. I was led to believe that was happening all the time!
