Pick me up in Düsseldorf
Last week I had the opportunity to enjoy this delicious tiramisù after an equally good pepper steak meal. I didn’t note the name of the place but it was a Spanish-Argentinian restaurant in the old city (Altstadt) part of Düsseldorf in Germany.
I’m a novice when it comes to i tiramisù, but I think I still recognize a tasty dessert when I eat one. In general, I tend to like bun-like delicacies more than cake-like. Despite this being the latter, my taste buds hailed it as one of the best things they’ve come across for a while. Definitely a new favorite.
I hereby suggest forming a Thursday Tiramisù Society.

I will refuse to talk about any Tiramisuvian Societies as long as they have sour red berries on top of they bun-like thing.
Or were the berries sweet? That would make a difference.
September 15th, 2005 at 13:43
No, they were sour. Just like life is sometimes. But the difference between life and this tiramisù is that in life you can’t just put the sour things aside. The berries, however, could easily be picked off and left uneaten if the eater so desires. So to me this tiramisù is actually celebrating freedom of choice and all the sweet things in life.
BTW, I chose to taste some of the berries. I like my life bittersweet sometimes.

I think you are missing the real question here: is that a beer behind the tiramisù? And if so, what is FBS’s stance on using mixed substances such as buns and beer?
And did you get one hit point from that beer?
September 15th, 2005 at 13:51
BTW, I’m quite sure that Tero P is the renegade.
September 15th, 2005 at 14:01
Yes, it was beer. I don’t remember the brand, but it was pretty good as well.
But let me make one thing clear: I’m not promoting any mixed substance abuse here. I didn’t drink the beer while eating the dessert. I drank some of it before and the rest of it after the tiramisù. Actually in my opinion, beer and buns don’t mix.
So kids, don’t drink beer while eating buns.
September 15th, 2005 at 14:06
And to answer your question about the hit points: I already had the maximum hit points so the birra had no effect.
If Tero P is the renegade, who is the sheriff?
September 15th, 2005 at 14:40
It’s not a question of being able to put the berries aside! It’s a simple question of principles! If I have payed a full price for the Misu, and I’m provided some sour berry-things that just can’t be consumed by a mortal rene^H^H man, why bother at all?
September 15th, 2005 at 15:11
I see the berries as a complimentary bonus. I think I didn’t actually pay anything for them. Had I ordered the Misu without the berries, it would have still cost the same five euros.
BTW, what is a reman?
September 15th, 2005 at 15:13
Are you sure about the price? Did you ask for a discount for a nonberry-Misu?
(reman is the reincarnated cousinf of He-Man… hrmpf)
September 15th, 2005 at 15:13
P.S. No idea where the ‘f’ came from.
September 15th, 2005 at 15:17
Well, no, I’m not 100% sure about the price.
But still, even if the berries had cost something, they deserve their spot on top of the Misu. In my opinion, the possibility of putting berries aside has some customer value in itself, i.e. you’re paying for your right to choose. Liberty is not free, you know.
September 15th, 2005 at 15:25
But, as pround Founders of the FBS, we should be paid for making that decision! We should not be spending in these situations, in my opinion.
September 15th, 2005 at 15:29
Did you mean to say proud Founders or round Founders? I guess both are true, in a sense.
September 15th, 2005 at 15:43
I guess that amongst our main objectives we should have the objective to have round Founders. That and almost fanatical devotion to The Concept.
September 15th, 2005 at 15:52
Oh heck, I just can’t seem to get anything rihgt today. Looks to me that all the comments I’ve been posting today are somehow malformed/mistyped. It’s probably because they were written before I had a bun.
But I, offended by the sour berries, refuse to reveal my original intention.
September 15th, 2005 at 16:01
A-Ha! (Not the Norwegian band.) Your refusal to reveal your true motives proves that you are in fact Il Rinnegato.
And even after having a bun, you’re still making mistakes, Mr. Rihgt.
September 15th, 2005 at 16:09
Let me just note that I am a deputy.
September 15th, 2005 at 18:34
I hereby announce that I have serious concerns over certain members of the Society. I would go as far as stating that it is very likely that they are – in fact – an organization within an organization. The jargon witnessed in the above messages, uncomprehensible by anyone outside the suspected organization, is my strongest proof. I demand an internal investigation to reveal any such collusion before it eats the Society inside. The cancer must come out!
September 15th, 2005 at 21:20
The suspected organization carried out an internal investigation and found nothing suspicious. You can rest assured that all is well within the Society.
(Komu, I bet Hate is an outlaw trying to sow confusion amongst us deputies.)
September 15th, 2005 at 21:42
Now excuse me, my fellow Founder, but the bun actually did bring some sense into my messages. Not typing rihgt right was a bun intended. My apologies for not making it more obvious.
Is there a way how we can be sure that Hate himself is not a hidden organization? Why else would he be stating such claims here? I, too, demand an internal investigation!
September 15th, 2005 at 21:54
Yes, sorry for picking on you and questioning the mind-clarifying effect of an afternoon bun. Actually your deliberate typo was quite obvious, I just didn’t come to think of it until I had already posted my comment.
I think you have a valid point about Hate there. I guess he should conduct an internal investigation on himself to make sure he himself is not a cancerous cell within the FBS.
September 16th, 2005 at 07:43
There seem to be all the rumours going on about me being the Renegade. I will not deny nor admit. But wouldn’t the real Rinnegato live along the street called Rinnekatu? Now that’s like 20 km from where I’m living. I bet there are other Founders much closer to this…
I will let these rumours pass by me without remorse, and let The Concept guide my acts.
September 16th, 2005 at 10:54
Due to the oppressive pressure from my fellow Founders I conducted an internal, swift and thorough investigation and found nothing suggesting a hidden, secret organization within me. I was completely taken by surprise by this investigation, so I had no time to make any “arrangements” to hide possible evidence, which obviously adds to the credibility of this investigation.
I believe that since the number of internal investigations has now reached two in a short period of time, we can conclude that the Society is well tested to be healthy and not been infested with internal organs. Not to mention that it is Friday!
September 16th, 2005 at 12:20
So this is what the “self study” task in hour tracking system is for.
September 16th, 2005 at 15:26
I think that Tero P is in direct violation with our company’s NDA by exposing such revealing facts. Come on, now dozens of spies reading this weblog (yes, we know you are there) know that we have a “self study” task in our hour tracking system.
Or do we? Is this just a scheme to fool the spies? And do we even work in a company, let alone a same one? Do we exist? What is the meaning of this all?
September 16th, 2005 at 15:28
I don’t think I’ve ever exposed what was the system I was referring to. I was, of course, referring to the one I use at home.
September 16th, 2005 at 15:29
FBS 1 – Spies 0
September 16th, 2005 at 15:30
Haha! You finally blew off your cover as renegade and gave us the proof that you are indeed Il Rinnegato!
September 18th, 2005 at 19:54
I still have not yet quite figured out how you concluded that… but I’m not denying
