2098381 I loved Princess Bride...Wesley, what a fox. He can tell me "as you wish" anytime he wants....

1639357 Rachel, if you haven't read the book The Princess Bride then it is a must read right now! You'll laugh your ass of for days & still have those wonderful butterfly tingles from the romance. (No sex per say, but you can find that in many other places to fill that need)

Stardust is also one of my favs.

2366269 But Larry, the flowers are so pretty and look at the clouds...

No really I got hooked on Nora Roberts last year, she has more ideas in that head of hers, then I don't know what. I finally just got tired of her style and moved on to other pastures.

Lisa Kleypas is a wonderful romance author.

2366269 I read this thread and it jumped from romance novels to candy toppings. Did I miis A Massage or are you calling romance novels candy toppings? I am lost again!

Racist for jimmies? That's an interesting one. Don't worry, Jamie. We still like you:)

1052511 Around here we call them jimmies but you also hear people say sprinkles...I grew up calling them jimmies and about a year ago some one once yelled @ me and told me I was racist. I was none to pleased about that but he was an idiot so eh.

747169 Quick RA, say confetti. Now you are bilingual.

Or trilingual if you count Estonian.

721021 I know. Logic is not entering into my interpretation. I always wanted to be bilingual, and this is my chance. I'm pretending "sprinkles" is an Estonian word.

1002888 Are there different names for the sprinkle balls and the sprinkle ovals (I don't know what else to call them)?


message 55: by Sally , masters master(er) (new)
Jul 30, 2009 11:47AM

966475 But RA, "sprinkle" and "jimmy" are both words in the English language. They have different meanings in different English dialects, but your family is still only speaking English.

Now if you were saying "sprinkle" and "glaseado" then you'd be bilingual.

721021 I like bilingual better. Makes us sound smarter, even if it's not true.

2324495 I'm from NJ, born and raised as are both of my parents. I think we were the only people in NJ to call them "jimmies". I now call them sprinkles so my kids don't have to be looked at like they are aliens when they go to order ice cream.

721021 My children just corrected me, apparently both "sprinkles" and "Jimmies" are allowed in Wisconsin. We're bilingual.

2098381 We call them sprinkles in TN...

966475 There should be a confectionery treat that uses both colored rice,sprinkles, and jimmies together.

721021 We call them Jimmies in Wisconsin, but they call them sprinkles in Chicago.

I was just reading an article from the NY Times about this, believe it or not.

1002888 I third the Stardust suggestion. RA, you shouldn't question your manhood because of a book - surely it's not that fragile.


message 38: by RandomAnthony (new)
Jul 30, 2009 06:59AM

721021 I liked Stardust, too. Perhaps I've read more romance novels than I realized. This makes me question my manhood.

O. I. C...okay then! I've added a few books to me to-reads, any other suggestions?
