Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 26, 2012

hahaha…i HATE yogurt…no idea why, but I just do…:D

. . . sometimes you don’t wanna know how they make it . . .

Bacteria is yummy!

Wow, Rat makes it really sound cool!

It sounds so much better to refer to them as “active yogurt cultures.”

Goat has got a problem.

LOL

That’s like that one exchange from Family Guy:

Lois: Ewww, What’s that smell?Brian: It’s either bad meat or good cheese…

Rat sometimes amazes me! I like yogurt, whether mass-brand USA-made or Greek (as in made, bought, and consumed in Greece, when I visited there). Plain, with honey!

Anyone care for some curds and whey?

I always refer to it as “rancid milk”. The only place I can stomache yogurt is in Indian cooking.

Whoa, this is scary. Rat actually says something of higher intelligence thn he normally shows. It’s Goat level intelligence.

So how is beer all that different?

From the Matthau/Lemmon version of “The Odd Couple” (1968):“I’ve got brown sandwiches and green sandwiches.”“What are the green ones?”“Either very new cheese or very old meat.”Thank you, Neil Simon.

I too was going to have a yogurt for breakfast. I’ve since opted for Cheerios and banana.

So what the heck is in activia?

um….how about some COTTAGE CHEESE???!!!!!

Anything you eat or drink can be a problem. As W. C. Fields supposedly said of water, “I don’t drink that stuff. Fish pee in it.”

haha

and sice it has bacteria in it its alive

*since

Rat’s still going to eat the stuff. He just wants proper labeling. Just like pork barbecue should be called charred dead pig with sweet and sour goop poured on it.

Bee barf?

Yeesh! I read this right after I finished eating my daily yogurt breakfast.

Yogurt is for people who like sausage and respect the law. You don’t want to watch either one being made………

When my son was little, one day at the dinner table he said “I’ve got to go poop.” My wife said, “Please don’t be so precise.”So ever since then, he announces “I’m going to be precise” in that situation.Now Rat is saying it.

I love Rat.

It was in 3rd grade when the rumors started as to what Jello was made out of. In 4th grade, the rumors were confirmed. Haven’t touched Jello since (about 50 years).

I believe “yogurt” is derived from an old Romanian word that means “Something that used to be milk.”÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷I tried eating Yoplait yogurt, but no matter which flavor I tried it was nasty. Maybe yogurt should come in capsules, so you can get all the benefits without having to taste it.

Spoiled is the word you want. Like a certain class of people, it spoils, fills with gas, floats to the top, and clots together…and now we’re faced with finding a new use for them. ‘It’.

Personally I favor using them as targets for guillotine practice.And then…eat the rich. Ingest whatever virtues they have, enjoy their sweet, broiled fat and tender, unworked flesh…

And start over…

First thought: Cheeses, beer, wine, bread soy sauce: all similar. OK, beer, wine and bread use yeasts, not bacteria, but that’s a minor point. And bread, being baked, kills the yeast off. Not sure about soy sauce, but it’s fermented.

Second: there are far more bacteria cells in any person (except maybe one yet to be born) than human cells. One problem with some antibiotics is that they can kill off the good cultures, or distort the mix, and then the bad bacteria and other animalcules take over and wreak havoc.

Oh, and Third: precision can be amusing. I recall C.S.Lewis’s restating civilization’s oratorical claim into simpler, more precise language in Out of the Silent Planet—they didn’t sound so nice then.

He would love bee vomit then.

fried chicken embryos and cooked pig flesh please.

Nobody likes the taste of yogurt – that’s why they have to flavor it.

A whole discussion on hating yogurt, reading some of these comments makes my head hurt. Just enjoy the comics, don’t over analyze each one…

I like yogurt. It’s food made from horse’s hooves that I tend to avoid.

Actually, something like 90% of the cells in “our” bodies are not “us”, but trillions of symbiotic microorganisms. We’re colonial entities.

ReRead Rat’s description.

Heck, my wife likes fungal contaminants as foodstuffs. I can’t stand ’em.

I love rotten milk!
