She's in England right now with my boys (we're moving there, and she's gone ahead of me for logistical reasons.) But I'm sure she'd ask in reply, "Why do you smother your food in high fructose corn syrup?" Incidentally, I think you are more likely to see fish and chips smothered in curry sauce than gravy or mint sauce. And that shit is fucking amazing.
I used to type the rosters of all 17 teams and fit it onto 1 side of a piece of typing paper. I did it about 3 times during the season to update changes. I'd show it proudly to my friend. When Baskerville appeared, we made every Sherlock Holmes joke you can think of, throughout the season. How can I ever forget that a Baskerville played.
I only say it because I lived with a family there for 3 months. It seemed my dinners, I know they call it something else like supper or tea or some shit. Anyway, back to my experience... My plate consisted of 1 really well done piece of meat, most likely lamb, two different style potatoes, brussel sprouts and a shit ton of gravy poured on top. Of course there was the mint sauce off to the side and a cup of tea with cream and sugar to compliment my meal.
I have pointed this out a few times. It goes over poorly. There are always rumors of what the cast are doing, what they are planning for next season, who might guest on it, and, jesus, I don't know. A lot of boring shit. But really, to an outsider how interesting is it that we drafted CJ McCollum? Do you often think back to the draft where we chose Ruben Boumtje Boumtje, or Sebastian Telfair? No, because in the big picture that shit is pretty uninteresting unless you are actually a ridiculous fan of the team, and even then only if it's happening right now. Asking her to understand that free agent acquisitions are actual news and is actually interesting is like talking to my dog and trying to understand when she tells me that gnawing on her own ass is actually a pretty productive use of her time. It's interesting if it's your deal, but not really if it ain't.
Copied my wife on this. She points out: I think I like your friend Natebishop3, but remind him that while there are only 6 episodes they're the quality and length of 6 movies. I suspect there is far more yammering about Lord of the Rings (the movies), which have only 18 minutes more running time than this show (so far).
Yeah, but that yammering is about how much Peter Jackson deserves to fry in a batch of burning sulfur for the eternity of whatever afterlife he falls into.
Ah, I dig. I have noticed that some English cooks tend to overcook meat. Not really in restaurants, but homemade types of meals. I don't know where that comes from--maybe a post WWII tradition that comes from eating your own shoe leather or something. You are dead on about the sprouts, spuds, gravy and tea. I actually really like English cooking, but it's not a completely inaccurate characterization. I love lamb, btw. That shit is fucking tasty. I don't know why Americans don't take advantage of it--so much more flavor than beef or chicken.
Lonely, probably Looking for reassurance, most likely Introverted serial killer type, some of you Loses, nah
Oh don't get me wrong, I fucking love lamb! I love when it's cooked with rosemary and spuds. And other than the meat being over cooked, I actually loved the dish! It's just weird that it was prepared almost every night. You would think they would switch shit up a bit
This is completely off topic, which I guess has been for a while anyway, but whenever she brings up Baker Street I'll smile and nod and let this entire song go through my head. I sometimes will let the guitar solo play twice, because it's awesome and my head bobs in an approving manner that she likes: [video=youtube;Fo6aKnRnBxM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo6aKnRnBxM[/video]
Man. You get separated from your wife and kids for a week, gone to England, and she's all you can talk about. It sucks to be me! You wanna hear about my ex-wife? How can I STAND to be around all these losers?
You are not the first to have pointed this out. I went on a hunting trip and we all got really hammered after getting back to camp. One of my buddies finally shouted, "Dude, can you shut the fuck up about your wife? We get it already. You love her. Now shut the fuck up." I hadn't seen her in 3 days. lol.
