Pathetic artists rendition, everyone knows unicorns are brightly coloured and have a pile of skittles pooped behind them.

I saw this in Vienna. It's a cup owned by the Habsburg emperors and made out of a piece of unicorn horn. It can detect and cure any poison in the drink.

The poor animal has been hunted to extinction since. Very sad.

@ Pedro #1 :laugh2: ..... at least I know what happened to Barbie now ..... 

@ Nevol :laugh2: ..... nah, I've been better off without her

@ Pedro #2 :laugh2: ..... 2 slabs for a Unicorn and the guy's name is Foster!!!! (It's close, but not a VB .... or a Coopers for Robster).
Title: RE: Unicorns existed!
Post by: JeffH on April 15, 2019, 05:40:08 PM
I would be happy with Coopers. Is it appropriate for roasted unicorn? Otherwise a nice wine or even, perhaps, cider -I am thinking scrumpy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrumpy)?
P.S. Lost internet for six days and then was going for a visit to the sunshine (actually mostly overcast and a few showers) state but back home now.

I'd wondered where thou had been! btw: Cloudy beer goes beautifully with BBQ Unicorn, either that or the evil red.

Did have some nice cloudy, craft beer in Queensland but unicorn was not on the menu!

:laugh2: .... me too Jeff ..... I only heard about the Father & Son team that now own Victor Churchill on Landline last and the weekend before. Geeeeez bring your bucks with you ...... they may as well be selling unicorn meat! (I hear Pedro buys all his tucker there :mocking:)

Well I know I've got issues ...... and a bit loopy ...... now Kelloggs have confirmed it for me.

I went shopping with Mrs Uni yesterday (I hate shopping it sends my anxiety through the roof) and must have walked down the same aisle at Coles at least 5 times walking past these!

I'm sure Jeff with buy a box when he gets back from Fiji. :mocking:

That's if there are any left. Maybe somebody else has cornered the market if they went down the cereal aisle at least 5 times. :winkextra:
