Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Freaky commercial. Three cows in a barn discussing what they like in a bull. Bulls outside peeping in. "Well, what I really like is..." bulls jostle and miss the dish. Then "Good cheese comes from happy cows! Happy cows come from California!" Sorta skeeved.

Reminds me of the admonishment to only eat "happy cheese" (smiling cow cheese) in the CzR because it came from ...well, some part that wasn't reknown for its nuclear reactors?

is happy cow cheese the same as laughing cow cheese (or, in french, la vache qui rit)?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mmm. I have vache qui rit in my fridge right now...but I think it's pulled pork for dinner instead.

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out

I haven't had my eyebrows waxed since they day I discovered threading. I'm in NYC and it costs about 6 dollars to have them threaded. Plus, they do it so quickly. I'm in and out in about 5 minutes. I also heard something about threading being better for your skin (less pulling, so less wrinkles), but I can't remember where or when I heard that little tidbit.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Why don't they tell the truth about the cows? Most of the bulls are NEUTERED. And the cows get artificially inseminated with a device that looks like the douche nozzle of the gods wielded by a guy who's wearing a rubber glove that runs up the length of his entire freakin' arm.

Does that sound like fun?

I too have vache qui rit. Writing that reminds me of an idea I got.... ita, the game chapeau, the one that is used for finding out who is it. It made me laugh to realize how different things are depending on location. RANDOM. It almost makes me want to do a UNICEF style book on kids' games and how turn taking (as in who goes first) is decided. How do they do it in Jamaica?

yum! pulled pork.

and a neat twist of turnaround, I'm going to have a patty.

So Cashmere, you're saying you don't do dairy then?

Kate, I'm freaked out and scared of threading. Does it hurt?

No, I do dairy. I love cheese. I just realize it's probably coming from disgruntled cattle.

Kat, I think so. That was the cheese in foil. Mushroom and garlic and green onion and bacon and veggie and ...more varieties than I could count. I miss that. I ate the other stuff anyway, because Edam!! YUM.

If I ever come down with some bizarre condition, I'll blame it on drinking the water in Prague and eating the cheese. And the inversion.

I'd do threaded, but I'm addicted to Fred Segal, and I don't think they offer it.

How do they do it in Jamaica?

Like America, I think. "One potato, two potato" comes to mind first. We also do eenie meenie, but there are no niggers ingolved, unsurprisingly.
