A Typical Irish forum thread.

(I love this game )

*Munches on a cookie she had added some Irish Whisky too for flavor and listens to the chatter*
""I somehow I do not think it is relevant, the cookies in the blackmarket circuit will flourish, and me...as miller....will ofcourse sell my flour to the highest bidder..." she pauses for a second "...let me refrase that...I will of course sell to the best cookie baker."

Lifting her hands up in the air she raises her voice
" LET THE CHALLENGE BEGIN AND I SHALL SACRIFICE MYSELF TO TASTE ALL OF THEM!

May I just say, as a Brit, and therefore a speaker of proper English, that they're actually called biscuits?

((hands out biscuits to all the babes he's kissed, and cookies to those he hasn't. That ain't too many cookies ))

She takes the cookie from Boris and winks
"thanks, I prefer cookies over biscuits, biscuits are dry, but then...if you kissed them, who knows they may need it."

(Hey, where's Dee? He used to be an Irish standard. He always showed up with popcorn for one of these. ^^)

he's too busy helping me wonder where all these freaking cookies are coming from

Too many cookies are depressing my shipping business.

*giggles and prances around with a cookie in one hand and a biscuit on the other. If she nibbles from one, the hemline of her skirt rises, if she nibbles on the other, the neckline of her top lowers*

Mmm, sweet and gooey cookie or a lovey biscuit to dunk on my tea? I am in a quandry and don't know what to do. Oh me, oh my!

((And Boris you silly grump - biscuits are French, not English and cookies are Dutch, not American ))

The history of the biscuit follows that of sugar and it seems that the first biscuits were baked in Persia during the 7th Century BCE. It wasn't until the Moorish conquest of Spain and the crusades of the 12th and 13th centuries that Arabic cooking practices slowly came to Europe.

The modern biscuit, however, is a French invention, and by the 14th century it was possible to buy little fruit-filled wafers on the streets of paris. The name of these comes from a corruption of the Latin bis cotum (baked twice) which became biscuit in English and biscotti in Italian. Traditionally, such biscuits are hard and dry in texture and they're know (and commonplace) from recipe books going back at least to the Elizabethan era.

In contrast, cookies are Dutch in origin. The name itself derives from the Dutch word 'koekje' (small or round cake) which represents the small pieces of dough that Dutch bakers used to place in their ovens to test the temperature. However, the classic cookie, the 'cocolate chip cookie' was only invented in 1937 by Ruth Graves Wakefield (1905-1977), of Whitman, Massachusetts, who ran the Toll House Restaurant. This type of cookie didn't reach nationwide fame until 1939 when Betty Crocker popularized it in her radio show. Today, however, the chocolate chip cookie is by far the commonest baked and eaten cake in America.

He wants to nibble, but being an Irish guy, he is to shy or would be to crude...

*stares and drools

OR

*tries to grab her and take a slobbery bite

*rolls her eyes at the floozy with the cookies*

Perhaps if you weren't so greedy your shipping business would be fine.

*waits for the threats of armies attacking because she said something*

Yeah, cause we're all going to sacrifice our cookie freedom so you can make a buck. You worry about your shipping business and leave us alone.

gawh i hope Dee didnt really stay in Scotland

He'll be off plotting world domination and eating babies with the rest of the NNGO...

((NOMNOMS biscuits with baby cream filling while plotting Munster world domination with the rest of the NMA))

And nobody is telling me Cukkie creams jaffa cakes an choccy nobbies is furrin food... Silly girl...

Mind you, I think you should eat more cookies....and biscuits..... great. now come over here for a kiss.

Oh, and Daub, you're a duplicitous weasel who got rich by cheating and exploiting the gullible. May your cods rot in your socks. Cookies AND biscuits should be free for all to enjoy. And your ships smell of seasick.

(ok, Boris... I think I love you now )

This thread is so ironic. Hiliarious.

Oh damn my deep dark secret is out.... I am a Boris lover and my life has no meaning without you

I bought cookies before they were popular.

In fact, I think I bought the flour and sugar before anyone else.

Then, I traded cookies to build the county coffers to over 300k net worth (nevermind the fact that I doubled the debt to do it).

Now, you must buy my cookies and no one elses or you will be breaking the law.

There's a queue.

Oh, and Roxxy? Always had the most MASSIVE crush...

Look, we aren't ever going to get anywhere on this biscuit issue until we have a truly united Ireland, and everyone does EXACTLY what Paddy Mackenzie says.

Oh Darn! You stole my next one (Paddy)!

Boris ... you are sweet, but you never acted on your crush.

*Enter obnoxious holier-than-thou type*

Oh come on get real guys - you all know that the NNGO only want to get you addicted to cookies so that they can screw you over. Don't trust them, they are snakes and even talking to them will taint you forever. I say poison all their cookies and laugh as they writhe around in pain. They are scum *spits* and I won't rest until I have destroyed them all.

*small battle ensues*

I hate you, you don't play fair, you had no right to take my town and kill me *lots of sniffling and whining* I am going to the admins about this - you guys don't play fair.

*exit batter and beaten it's-so-unfair type*

(Roxx, your Saj was almost spot on, but you forgot to mention that you were the best cookie maker in the history of RK, and also that you wrote a guide on it. No self-important Sajanzv post is without that.)
