Oh what the hell, A&E?

[thistle_chaser]

After Phil Robertson, star of Duck Dynasty, said awful things about homosexual people (saying they're the same as terrorists and other such hate-filled things, see my post about it here), A&E rightfully kicked him off the show.

But now they've changed their minds.They're going to let him back on the show because: “While Phil's comments made in

Pumpkin seeds maybe? But those are usually white, right?

The shells are white, but they're a sort of pistachio green inside, so I'm definitely thinking pumpkin seeds based on your description :)

[thistle_chaser]

Oh! That's probably what they are then. They're the right size/shape for pumpkin seeds, but yeah, pistachio-y green. Thanks!

I'll try them tomorrow probably.

Shelled pumpkin seeds, yup.

I find those flapjacks to be yummy. :)

[thistle_chaser]

Yeah, I liked it too. I picked off the ones on the outside (there were so many!), but any in the bars I ate.

I think it's better that people express their real opinions, rather than hide them behind lies. I don't agree with his views, but if that's what he thinks, that's what he thinks. Better to be honest about them.

Banoffee pie is a dessert here.

[thistle_chaser]

Yep, and if that's what he thinks, I want to know about it.

I think it would be yummier in a real pie form than in a trail mix form. Especially if it were warm.

I've never watched the whole duck show thing, so I don't know very much about it.
But, to me this sounded very much like "contractual obligations".

[thistle_chaser]

I watched a moment of it, but it's very much not to my tastes. I suspect you're right, that and money...

Does Esquire have any photos to show us? :P

[thistle_chaser]

Yeah, but they were no different than you'd see in any other picture of the Pope. Just his usual white robes...

Very silly!

I think with TV networks it's all about the money. And the kick-off then take back is all the more publicity. They might lose the gay audience, but I suspect they don't care.

And the seeds you mentioned do sound like pumpkin seeds, also called pepitas.

[thistle_chaser]

It's not like gay folks were part of the Duck Dynasty audience to begin with. They don't lose all that much... Sigh!

I think you're right about the seeds. Thanks!
