Complaint re: Vegemite.

[Vegemite]

Both my Vegemite-less daughter and I wish to express our disgust and displeasure at the blatant blasphemy expressed against Vegemite in today's news photo.

Forced abstinence for a total of nine monthes (!!!) has led to many tears and great emotional trauma. Then to link into Raoul's and see it sitting there in all it's glory, is sheer torture. And even more disquieting is to see it sitting next to a jar of Peanut Butter. This is truly morally apprehensible.

My daughter and I will not even lower ourselves to comment on the appalling caption. It is imperative that there is an immediate recantation of the said phrase. Furthermore, we expect heartfelt apologies.




Also (and this is now Vegemite Junior talking, Vegemite Elder has collapsed) just wanted to add that I'm a huge fan of Raoul's. It gives the Elder One something to gossip about with kcanuck besides their menopausal ramblings. Plus, I am concerned that Vegemite Elder is turning to Whiskey to replace the lack of that wonderful sticky black Ambrosia.
Please send Vegemite to Vegemite or I'll be an "alcoholicized" orphan.

we can't have a saloon member suffering from withdrawal symptoms no matter what their addiction is. Vegemite, PM me your address and I'll make sure that a container of vegemite finds its way to you.

[Raoul Duke]

Ya beat me to it, Nolefan.

Will some of you kind souls in more dangerous towns please send some Vegemite to these nice ladies so they can lighten up and solve their plumbing problems?

Suzhou, being a progressive and responsible city, doesn't seem to encourage the sale of vegetable tar. Otherwise I'd send up a case myself...

[Raoul Duke]

Meanwhile, I'm suffering very severe withdrawal symptoms due to a lack of Demerol, Krugerrands, and 17-year-old twin Korean girls.

If any of you nice, nice people....

I was wondering why Peanut butter would be regarded as "plumbing supplies".

[AMonk]

It's not. It's Roofing Material _{sticks to the roof of your mouth} for the poor.

Let it be known that only the kiwis in Hailaer want the vegemite. The canuck would be appeased by some Kraft Dinner. I don't suppose any one has a stash somewhere. The damn whisky we've been consuming is leaving me craving for KD eaten right out of the pot the 'morning after.'

I have about 3 boxes, however if you speak really really nice to Raoul, maybe he will go to the store for you and buy you some and mail it. It is readily available at Yumway in Suzhou as well as in Wuxi, however I haven't seen it here in Dalian - or at least not yet.

The pic was taken in Chengdu...It's a western grocery store....
They charge like a wounded bull, but hey, they have doritos, pancake mix, bacon, camembert...and of course the world's richest source of Vitamin B, so I'm not about to complain.

My darling mother keeps me in supply of vegemite...she sends up two big jars every few months.

I love my mum! ;D
