This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
I am dying for a brown sugar cinnamon for the past six hours.....So hungry...

Rainbow, this is totally irrelevant to potarts, but I fucking love your icon.

You're Ends of the Forum. What in the nine bloody Nethehells is stopping you?

wait....how'd the whole poptart thing with this forum begin anyway??

Observation: This forum has grown enough that maybe we need a FAQ of some sort.
I believe Tamago summarized it somewhere for someone else a while ago, but I don't remember where that post is...
It was an unplanned combination of The Sims 2 and SKUpidity in the other forum. It was speculated that the burning down of Nemuro Hall was caused by Mikage leaving a poptart in the oven for too long. This action in The Sims 2 causes a fire. Someone made some panels in the SKUpidity thread expanding this idea, and Mikage's obsession with poptarts. It slowly but surely, and unintentionally, became this forum's first in-joke, and is now the stuff of legend for those of us who have been on IRG since the early days.
I believe that's how it all happened. As I said Tamago was able to trace its origins, so maybe he can verify if I've got it all down right. (Or was it Razara? I know it was one of those two... )

I agree. Actually a couple updates have been released for PunBB since the forum launch, but I haven't dared yet because frankly, the forum is modded up its arse and it could be a gigantic nightmare trying to change anything. A FAQ shouldn't be too difficult to add, since it's really not part of the forum, per say, I just need to add a link to a similarly styled page in the top line. Is on the list.

I was going to buy pop-tarts the other day but then I didn't. I'm so ashamed of myself.

One other thing, for those of you who are pining for a beloved flavor of poptarts that you are unable to find, try netgrocer.com. I found over twenty varieties there.
Can't stand poptarts myself, though. Too bad there's no emoticon for vomit, so...

I think we should all use these toasters for our poptarts!
The Official Toaster of the Rose Garden.

THOSE ARE ADORABLE. But that shade of green is way way off.

Hahahaha, so? I'd get the pink one anyway.
Dualit's good stuff too. I wonder if we'll get to carry those at WS. I hope so, I want to get one!
Offline
let's get 'em

Maybe instead of spinning Rose motifs, we can have spinning Toaster ones.

I'm eating my very first frosted one right now. Believe it or not my family's never had anything else.

Once I got really loaded and put a still sealed poptart in a bagel toaster, it sparked and ignited, and i started crying. good times good times.

Damn you people to hell and Akio torture chamber. Because Of you I have found out that favor of pop tarts I want don't exist any more. Damn and blast.

Pop Tarts are my naughty breakfast food of choice! Either frozen or heated... but I mourn for the loss of my chocolate mint Poptarts. But at least they've still got the Strawberry Milkshake variety... I think.
Back when I was a kid and they only had like five flavors, it was the berry kind with the psychedelic blue and purple. Yum yum.

I just spent a good chunk of the day driving my brother around so he could price-check a box of frosted strawberry Pop-Tarts at four different stores. It was for an assignment, but the price-checked item was my idea.

After all this time Pop-tarts are still one of my favorite foods. My appetite has been gone for the past few hours even though I know I have to eat, so I think I'll have some Pop-tarts, since it's what Mikage would want.

does anybody know what flavor ninja is?

Ninja? I've never heard of it, but that would be one awesome Poptart.
I've just discovered s'mores flavored, and they're my newest addiction. Mmmm!
