You might remember "dry oats and sugar" or "peanut butter saturated with sugar", or if not, then not.
Anyway, today it is: about a liter of rice pudding, containing just under 100g of butter and a significant amount of sugar.
The experiment this time is seeing how much of it I can eat. I've already had dinner, this is just the dessert.
edit: this might have been a bad idea. I feel terrible and I'm only halfway.
edit2: ok it took a while, but I've defeated the rice pudding.

I like rice pudding, but a liter of it with that much butter & sugar would make me feel 
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

It wasn't too bad.
7/10 would do again.
Sugar-saturated peanut butter is a lot worse.

This may sound like a silly question, but why?
Is the experiment "how much can I eat before I vomit?"
Because if so, why?
And if not, why?

Why not eat a litre of rice pudding containing half a pack of butter and "a significant amount of sugar" after having just had your main meal?
Do you want a list of reasons?

If that's all the reason you need I suggest you try a kilo of prunes or flaxseeds next time. I'm looking forward to the report.

Genuine LOL.
I remember the Argus from my time living in Brighton, it was a bit hippy-trippy back then and I see it has not improved from going online.

They do have some cracking headlines[^] though.
(I spelt Argus wrong, but google knew what I meant)
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

LOL. Those guys do have a knack for wacky headlines.

Hey - when were you in Brighton - I lived there for a few years in the '80s and have fond memories of the chap outside the railway station selling the newspaper, yelling
"AAAAArssse"
at the top of his voice.
Or that's what it sounded like to us after a few pints at the pub!

In Brighton, that doesn't surprise me.
I knew it very well back in the day. I'd guess late 70's through to '87 I was there a lot. My Aunt lived there until her death. I was very close to her and so I chose to go to Uni down there. She lived in a home on the front, on Marine Parade and her rooms are now a rather fetching bed-sit, and I was the last family member to see her before she passed away.
I lived in digs up in Moolsecoomb and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Studying of course and never going out to the pubs or clubs. Well hardly ever.

Small world.
I had to check my Resume to make sure, and I lived around Brighton from 1982-1986 (I did spend the latter year or two in Worthing, for my sins)
If you ever frequented the King and Queen (and what Brighton Student didn't) that was me up in the balcony with the pints of cider and those funny looking cigarettes.
Happy Days!

Yep, I'd ended up on the site after this story about randy turtles[^] was shared elsewhere.

I liked
"We have a zero tolerance approach to drugs, guns and any like behaviour."
Yeah because pubs that have anything other than a zero tolerance to guns are not pubs, they are Saloons.

*cough*
You've obviously not frequented some of the same pubs I used to then...

I give you the 11 worst things in the world ever[^].
#11 is particularly awful and don't scroll down that far if you are eating and/or drinking. If you d get to #11, I recommend you start drinking heavily to remove the thought.
Enjoy!
Especially #11!

I like #7. But I don't understand what #8 is about.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

I've had nights like that shown in #7 - but I always used a screwdriver rather than a knife and the handle prevented that failure. But not the wine redecorating the ceiling... 
Number 8 is easy to fix: There's an app for that[^]
