Biscuits do suit very well as a snack for when you're leisurely sipping your tea though, Larry. Even ones in the shape of a hound.

I don't know about Sweden but in the States 'biscuit' is a term for a fine looking girl.

MaximumBunny: Does anything surprise you anymore? Pretty sure you've opened every Kinder and Happy Meal available by now. :P

HypersomniacLive: I thought Kinder is banned in the US, isn't it?
Really? Being kind or being even kinder than other people is forbidden in the USA? Well, that would explain many things, like the espionage made by the US in Europe!

It's 'British' for 'cookie'. Yum.

tomimt: Al Lowes first games actually were educational titles (he was a teacher after all) before he even joined Sierra.
Al Lowe's later games were even more educational titles, at least for kids whose native language isn't English...

Since English is not an official language of Sweden, the term "biscuit" isn't very commonly used, and when it is, it's the British meaning, not US slang. Since we use British English as the basis for our English education, I understand the term to mean a hard baked food product, maybe "cookie" or "cracker" in the US.

You're a cheeky one, aren't you? ;-D

But I'm pretty sure that kindness, of any degree, is no factor when it comes to politics.

Also why I never rewound my VHS tapes before returning them to the video store.

Biscuits are basically crackers over here. Or fat food for our neighbours to the south to have with their buckets of gravy and T-Bone steaks.

Cookies are however universal.

That used to be a capital offence here.

Thanks for the replies people , thought I might of gotten some "gravy" with my game ! I got the nickname back in the early 80's at a job I use to work at . The other mechanics always commented on all the gravy jobs (easy moneymaker) I got . So one guy started calling me biscuithound , so I can slop up the gravy with it . Stuck with me since . Plus , being from Texas , I love my biscuits & gravy .....mmmm , now I'm hungry...

animalmother2105: That is Softporn Adventure and it is mentioned on the game card. I think it was the first game made by Al Love(?) - the guy who wrote(made) the LSL games.

PixelBoy: Actually, no.

Quote from Al Lowe's website:
"Before there was a Leisure Suit Larry, Chuck Benton created the only non-graphic game Sierra ever sold, Softporn for the Apple ][. I later used its puzzles as the basis for LSL1: Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. Still later, Gary Thompson reprogrammed it for the IBM PC."
I stand corrected.

It'd be funnier if their username had been limpbizkit instead.

Just sayin'.
