I really like cilantro - could we also have a badge for that?





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Coriander has probably become a real running gag. I've just sprinkled some freshly chopped on the Asian cucumber salad. 😄

I'm also the only one with this badge from me complaining every time we meet of Coriander use.

 

Coriander is also the worst. To hell with anyone that uses it.

 

 

 

 

Perhaps if there's a GZ meet in Wellington I'll tag a long on a flight and bring you a nice coriander plant.

Is there a badge for the more cantankerous (sp?) Geekzoners out there, who frequent the "What Annoys You" thread more than any other? 

 

I'm not looking directly at you, @rb99 but if the shoe (or badge) fits...

I was pretty pumped to log in and get that notification, I have to say. 
Thanks MF! Now I have to try and find the dates of World AC/DC Day and World Led Zeppelin Day etc.

Of course, the trick there is to put the "this badge is awarded..." text in Braille characters.

+1 Coriander seed.

 

-1 Coriander leaf.

 

 

I dunno about +1, but seed is tolerable at least. Leaf is utterly vile.
