I once put an onion in a blender and made onion juice. I'm not sure why I did it, but it was every bit as disgusting as you might imagine, if not worse.


Were you drunk/on drug?

should have tried to blend a live horse instead, with four blenders, with one hoof in each


Shouldn't that be a cow instead... Considering your username and all...

I once put an onion in a blender and made onion juice. I'm not sure why I did it, but it was every bit as disgusting as you might imagine, if not worse.

and stop with the "sixth sense and unbreakable were great, they sucked after that" garbage. sixth sense sucked termite ass. it was a cool premise and a great movie........then the movie started being about bruce willis and it blew chowder. if you didnt figure the plot of the movie halfway through then you enjoy shit-tastic movies.

and unbreakable. again, it started being cool.....then about 30 minutes into the movie the story, characters, and pretty much everything else get thrown into a blender along with m night shit and bam, theres yer second act. then the turd filled second act dropped a steaming deuce and bam, theres your third act.

both crap movies, that just steamrolled into more crap movies.

The one bit that said "fake" to me was when they rammed the burger into the blender. Aside from that.... oooh that is scary as hell.

I was expecting one of the copters to sling a blade or break off and go up into the blimp. I mean....the blimp is holding the weight of the undercarriage up so why wouldn't you put some protection there to keep the blades from slinging things into it.

And yeah it didn't look real stable, but was expecting the failure to come from the balloon being popped and deflating down into the blades of the remaining blenders below it.

Yeah, it takes a while for the blender to reduce the frozen bananas to that creamy consistency. It takes a while and you think it's not working, but it only takes a bit of time. Adding a few drops of water tends to speed it up, but I'm sure soy milk is just as good if not better.

Keep me posted on whatever other delicious combos you discover using other food items with the banana.

Well yeah initially I tried just the bananas but it sounded like i was trying to chop up rocks in my blender so (as was my experience with hummus) I found adding a little thin liquid helped a lot to keep things churning.

No, I didn't end up adding the honey and don't expect I will (bananas are pretty sweet already). I am going to try the salt idea next time I make it though b/c salt really can make flavors PoP! :-D I'm sure I will try some different fruit combination soon using the bananas as a base to see what works best. I'll keep you posted! Thanks again!

Also FYI my wife and I are trying to shed some extra fat that we both gained from becoming teachers at the same time (school lunches = unhealthy)(really that was the only thing in our diet that changed)(fuck) annnnd as I was looking up the nutrition info, I roughly figured that you could eat this "ice cream" at about 1/3 the calorie cost of regular chocolate (for example) ice cream. I think, though, that the honey would even that ratio out fairly quickly.

It's awesome, I know. I'm glad you tried it and loved it. Did you add a little sea salt and honey? DFT tried it and said it was some kind of "sorcery". Delicious. I like the soy milk idea. Adding peanut butter is supposed to also be good.

@westy,

FWIW, I spent a couple weeks going through a bunch of tutorials with Blender (thinking much as you do, that said tools would bring the goal within most people's grasp). At the end of that time, I had turned my brain to mush, and had nothing to show for it but the exact duplicates of the objects created by the step-by-step instructions. Mainly squarish looking snowmen type figures.

Oh, and a -hugely- increased respect for those folks who do that sort of work professionally. My mind just doesn't work in ways that allow me to wrap my head around those concepts. Programming I grok. Making tools for artists is grand (in theory anyway, I haven't done any art tools yet). I have long since realized that coding is my art...and quite a few artists feel the same way about coding that I do about art. I suppose it's a fair trade, more or less.

There are plugins for Maya, and Blender among other things; that was my justification for adding this to the animation channel.

It's a library used in a bunch of games, and some movies too.

I bet he's wearing Nike Ice Creams, and just came home after reading Blender magazine at a Starbucks inside a Barnes and Nobles... the modern-hypocrite

I find this to be a really good example of the difference in male and female thought patterns.
The male goes into "problem solving mode" and the female goes into "feeling mode".
The male calmly, or at least appears to be calm and collected, does everything to increase the chance of solving, or in this case surviving, the problem.
Take in your surroundings and see:
Where is it safe and where is it not? In the car surrounded by glass, bad. outside in a ditch, still bad but a hell of a lot better than in a blender.
What can I do to increase my chances of surviving if the tornado hits us? Equalize pressure inside the car so that the glass doesn't implode/explode as fast and makes it easier to get out of the car if it is overturned.
Tell other person/spouse/friend/whatever what to do in a calm and collected way.
Don't give in as you know what has to be done.
Don't do something for the sake of doing something, wait until you know what to do.
The female feels fear and as we all know "Fear is the mindkiller" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bene_Gesserit#Litany_against_fear), heck I would probably be scared as hell too but feeling scared never stopped a bullet or a tornado.
Feeling is not wrong but there is a time and place for it... preferably after you have reasoned your way out of the problem. Frightened people don't think, they simply die.

Women of the sift. Does this offend you more or less than Westy's comment. Vote now, cos I think it might be close.


There is something to be said for grammar and delivery, but yes, that is pretty condescending.
