Just say, “I love crepes.” Cal: “You know, just to put this in there, I had a whole mess of crepes this morning. They’re just like pancakes, maybe even better.” Ricky Bobby: “Wait, are they the really thin pancakes?” Cal: “Yeah.” Jean Girard: “Yes they [...]

by: Tender Branson in indian, tofu, vegetable on Aug. 18, 2009

Recently I cornered some local hooligans and posed this question: what do Goan Curry, soccer, and the UK Singles Chart have in common?
