Ok this is to much to read right now I just woke up....I will bookmark it and read it later when I can pay close attention span....right now I have 0 attention span ability.

What the hell is wrong with cauliflower ???

I keep clicking on this damn thread and I still can not get past the second sentece...will someone just please explain it to me so I don't have to come back and read it later.

You are more difficult and pickier and harder to please than Prince himself !

Seriously, even his [/b]list wasn´t this complicated.

WTF is edamame ? I know Edamer Dutch cheese , but you´re obviously talking about veggies here .....what is edamame ? Couldn´t find it in the dictionary.

Ever seen Prince´s tour rider from the Purple Rain tour ? That was quite interesting as well ( part of the CDRom that came with Uptown´s Days Of Wild book, lots of Doritos and Heineken beer, and Earl Grey tea as well. )

cborgman said:

A lot of people who hate olives just haven´t eaten the right ones yet.

I´m an olive expert.

My relatives harvest& eat a lot of olives.

wow, you have quite the list of demands!

I do hate olives and pickles.

I've tried all kinds of olives. Hate 'em all. And pickles don't deserve to exist. But I can't very well demand THAT.

Here's the link to the Smoking Gun's collection of tour riders, including Prince's:
