10 May
Something happened today that hasn't happened in my entire life.
I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I am the pickiest eater on God's green earth. I'll only eat around seven things and they all have to be prepared only one way and I don't like sauces or food that's all mixed together and I am a very difficult person to eat with.
Anyway, today John and I went to lunch and we decided to actually eat out in a Chinese restaurant rather than bring the food back to the office, and I was looking at the menu even though in all the time I have eaten Chinese food I have only ever eaten two things, chicken with cashews and beef with broccoli, but I stopped...and I looked...
...and I ordered something that I've never eaten before.
Yes, really! It was cold sesame noodles with chicken and peanut sauce, which is sauce and food mixed together and sesame seeds (which I hate), but for some bizarre reason, I thought it sounded good. And it was!
So, if your walls start oozing blood, or there's a plague of frogs, or two headed calves are born under a harvest moon you'll know it's because I've upset the balance of the universe.
People were clamouring, clamouring I tell you, to know what the title of yesterday's entry "kangaroo pooch?" meant. It was second only to the mail I got regarding Walkman headphones that don't fit in your lug holes properly.
Anyway, so that you will sleep soundly tonight, I'll explain. On Wheel of
Fortune this week it's Stars and Their Mom's Week, and Thursday night on the
last puzzle before the end game it said:
"K _ N _ _ R _ _ P _ _ C H"
Well, some dunderhead star of General Hospital looked at that and proudly
shouted out "Kangaroo Pooch!!! Yeah!!!" and he started jumping up and down in victory and was shocked, shocked I tell you, when that buzzer buzzed. Fortunately before they ran out of time, good ol' Mom saved the day by saying (all together now):
"Kangaroo POUCH!"
There is very little that I find funnier than boys and their ties.
Here at The Company That Must Not Be Named, we're pretty casual (obviously, or they wouldn't have hired me, then would they?) but the sales reps and the Important Guys wear suits, grey blue or black, with white shirts and black shoes and their only chance at being fashion-forward is in the tie area. So they stand around in their suits, three or four of them, and they start going "Gee, that's a nice tie!" "Hey, I like your tie!" "Where'd you get that tie?" and it's all so cute you could just die.
Hey, my mailing list has now swelled to TWO!
Josh is almost never on-line anymore, what with him developing a life and all, so I'm sending him my page as well as Jeroen.
My hits are gonna drop to zero, I can see it coming...
