container half hard left remove shake trick
The trick to scrambled eggs is to remove half the milk from the container and shake what's left as hard as you can, like a cocktail shaker, before you whisk it into the eggs.
clapping
Life starts out with everyone clapping when you take a poo and goes downhill from there.
nice kids reality
I have nothing against Canada. I think that Canadians might know the secret to all existence, but to us it just comes off as timid and kind and too nice, and it strikes us as lacking edge.
