    As in, "he's even more boring than regular vanilla"? Yep, sounds good to me.

    Vanilla beans are "boring" or "plain"? Vanilla is the second most expensive spice (after saffron) due to the extensive labor required to grow the vanilla seed pods and the fact that there are only 3 places in the world where they grow, not to mention that they are fantastic.

    White Vanilla sounds like a strange thing as well, because Vanilla beans are not white...

    I googled Debaser to find what it is (which should tell you that I did not). I guess you learn something new every day.

    Oh man, you sure got me. Showing me that the vanilla bean and the adjectival meaning of "vanilla" are actually incongruous. Boy is my face red. :rolleyes3:

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Heh, that's funny. I've always thought about the Pixies song whenever I see your user name.

    I always wondered why Vanilla got this reputation and the association with the color white. No other meaning about my post. Did not mean to upset anyone, sorry if I did.

    In this case, I am not longer sorry about it. Serves you right, Mister!

    So, you come on here saying nothing good can be white...all up in my face about the color of vanilla beans and then you expect me to just let it go...

    I will not stand for reverse racism or taking Travis Diener's name in vein!

    No, that's not what I said at all. Learn to read Mister. I said that calling someone White Vanilla is a great honor, because Vanilla is not white and is rare, expensive and awesome!

    This, too, and also, I have the stats that prove that pace does not matter to vanilla production and that it is a fantastically efficient spice when it comes to both offense and defense, not to mention that it has uses anywhere from the Cuban fields of Orlando to gasoline alley in Indiana to Portland!
