Good as far as it goes, although does anyone else find it ironic that it's Philippe mugging with the whiskey props?

Between the whisky museum and the battered Mars Bars, this seems like pure Lyle.
-
Mars Bars fall into the category of Candy I Recall Being Advertised In My Youth But Never Actually Tried Or Even Saw Others Eat And Didn't Know They Even Still Made.
This also includes things like 5th Avenue, Pay Day, and Clark.
-
Hmmm, if I recall correctly a Mars Bar is like a 3 Muskateers, only with almonds. Fifth Avenues and Clark Bars are very similar -- kind of Butterfinger-like but with a slightly less peanut butter vibe. And PayDays rock. Go get one, now.
-
Yeah, I was thinking Lyle, myself. All staring at the distillery in barely-disguised wonder, all daydreaming about Liquid Banjo...
-
I like Philippe's stylish new scarf.
And Mars Bars are made by the Mars Candy Company of Mars, PA. They also make Twix and M&Ms (among others).

Thus answering the question, "If the moon is made of cheese, what is Mars made of?"
A. People

I can't find a link that does a comparison right now, but apparently a UK Mars bar and a US Mars bar are two very different things, sharing a brand only.
Is Phillipe's scarf just fetching or does it have some sort of Edinburghian significance?
-
Wait- America = no Mars bars? Or are you just saying that yours are different? In Canada, they don't have almonds, just several kinds of delicious goo. They're one of my fave chocolate bars, although Caramilks are our archetypal inside-joke stoned-food.
[Edit to clarify: We have almonds, they just don't live in Mars bars.]
-
Mars bars, to my knowledge, contain no almonds. I believe those in Canadia eat American Mars Bars.
I also believe that Scottish Mars Bars have absolutely nothing to do with the American brand name.
-
More than you ever wanted to know about Mars Bars. (http://totl.net/VisibleMars/) Notice the almonds. Heh.
-

I think the Scots Mars Bars have extra haggis. Nothin' like a little sheep stomach in the middle of the afternoon when you need some energy!
-
I don't know WHERE THE HELL YA'LL HAVE BEEN but I have consumed many a Mars Bar and found them all types of delicious.

"YA'LL"
Good natured pedantry follows.
An apostrophe indicates that a letter (or letters) is missing, right? "Y'all" is a contraction of "You all", no? Therefore the apostrophe should go where the "ou" was -- after the "Y" and before the "A". Thus, Y'all not Ya'll.
That is all.

ya all got that right...

Being from Pittsburgh (which is about 40 miles from Mars) and working in Cranberry (just a few scant miles from Mars), I can assure you that the Mars Candy company is not from there. No matter how much I wish it were.
Here's more info:

Note that the UK Mars bar is the US Milky Way. Very interesting.
As far as TOTL's assessment of the US Mars bar goes, I couldn't disagree more. The Mars bar is one of my favorites. I don't know what the hell they're on about.

OK, people. Y'all are passionately discussing candy bars in absence of Achewood. You need to get lives. Move on. Try other websites. You might like it.
And AugustWest, your militant gammarianism will no longer be tolerated.

This as opposed to our normal classiness of passionately discussing giraffe placentas and indie rock on the sidelines of passionately discussing whether or not Ray is a "real" cat within a "normal" worldsetting or an anthro cat in a worldsetting full of them?
AND WHAT ABOUT SCARECROW'S BRAIN?!
-

I'd always heard the story that the Milky Way and 3 Muskateers names were accidently switched (since what we know as a Milky Way has 3 ingredients) but never saw proof. Of course I never went poking around either so I'll just live in ignorance.
I always found it odd that the back of many a candy says "Mars/M&M" yet none of my friend ever had a Mars Bar. I but the average 8-year-old American hasn't even heard of a Mars Bar.

When it comes to reaching new markets, the pace has, if anything, accelerated in recent years.Mars now has a direct presence in over 60 countries, and its products are sold in well over 100.Fiercely independent and committed to its private ownership, Mars is now a truly global powerhouse, providing a platform from which today's innovations can become tomorrow's world-leading brands.[/size]
ALL HAIL MARS! TRULY, MARS IS CIVILIZATION!

Clearly the Chrono-Synclastic Infundibulum has something to do with this.

Dig around the boards a little. I'm confident you'll find that I am far, far from the only militant grammarian hereabouts.
Anyway, it's effective. You spelled "y'all" correctly, didn't you?

Yes, there are a lot of pedants here (and on other boards). In keeping with the over-arching theme, though not specifically grammarian in nature - you do realize, August, that the last name listed in your rank is misspelled, don't you? It's Trebek.
-
I'm astonished that our Yankee cousins are debating the nut content / factory location of our Mars Bar when there is a much more worthy topic. IN SCOTLAND THEY BATTER THE MARS BAR AND DEEP FRY IT AND THEN EAT IT. What is that all about?
Yowser.

I like how a guy with 39 posts tells a guy with 1100+ that his militant grammarianism will no longer be tolerated.
I like how there is so little to discuss about the the content of Onstad's site that day that it degenerates to nuts, candy bars and the spelling of a Canadian Game Show Hosts surname.
I like August and Choop and Nabu even though they fight like siblings.
I am not thrilled with the vacation pictures, though, and am really looking forward to the return of the cartoon animals doing human like things, like drinking and driving cars and wearing thongs.
