There are six (6) stages to eating an artichoke.

Step 1 - you begin eating the leaves.

Step 2 - at about the 20th leaf, you remember you also eat the head.

Step 3 - continue eating the leaves.

Step 4 - get to the head and begin eating it.

Step 5 - bite into the disgusting hair bit.

Step 6 - now more carefully finish eating the head.

How many days into lockdown are you?

Technically we aren't in lockdown, but this doesn't really help me remember how an artichoke is eaten

Straight to the Hall of Fame with you!

Watching Behind the Iron Curtain, I really wonder what it must have felt like for the band to play in Poland in 1984. You're in your mid-twenties, already on top of the world, and then you come to a country where your presence alone is already almost a revolution and play heavy metal to thousands of people who desperately want what you're giving them - you must feel like you've got the biggest balls in the universe at that moment.

And then you end up performing at a Polish wedding.

I can hear my phone charger whining and it's driving me crazy.
Normally I wouldn't keep it next to me, but study-related circumstances mean I have to keep my mobile charged, and the high-pitched hum keeps breaking my concentration.

 

[LooseCannon]

They aren't supposed to do that.

I've never tried artichoke before. I should one day for sure.

Eat it, you mean?

 

[Travis The Dragon]

Eat it, you mean?

Yes, that's right.

 

[Magnus]

Yes, that's right.

Just wanted to be sure you don't intend trying it some other way...

Why? It made my day anyway - it's that sort of comment that keeps me coming back here

Look, whenever @Travis The Dragon says he's gonna try some new green plant you have to be sure he doesn't mean smoking it, ok?
Especially if it just happens to have all the letters for "kite" and "roach", only in the wrong sequence.

 

[Shmoolikipod]

Lol. But Travis, if you did want to smoke the artichoke, I can definitely help you with that.

I hope you don't object to having artichoke, outbreeding, and progeny in the same sentence.
If you do, avoid this by all means:
