Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

What is even happening?

Mom uses the mock crab stuff because despite the massive leaps in refrigeration technology, she's still suspicious of seafood which must be transported roughly a thousand miles inland. Also, 'spensive out in the land of the landlocked.

What is the mock stuff then? It's not polluck?

Damned if I know.

It's some kind of firm fish flesh that's flavored (and colored) to be crab-like.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Don't get me wrong, I think it's very strange that I like mock crab so much (it's pollock (or some such) with added red and some sort of artificial crab flavoring). But there it is.

AHa. It's surimi [link]

I'm making hot dogs right now. Clearly because I am very suggestible.

Oh, it's fun! You want to be singing R Kelly or Planetary Intergalactic (Intergalactic Planetary) instead?

That's not a good set of choices from which to pick. I demand a wider selection.

HI, Ali, you cutieface!

HI! What have you been up to?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I could share my earworm, if you'd like.

No no no... don't phunk with my heart....

I've heard some people put mayo on their grilled cheese before feeding it to their cat!

a friend of mine who is a chef swears by making grilled cheese sandwiches by spreading the outside bread with mayonnaise instead of butter, says it makes it crispier.

I used to like you, I don't anymore.

You left out a "no," Jesse.

Actually, I've been humming "Let's Get Loud" due to my many repeated viewings of the Dancing with the Stars finale.

In other news, my brother's friends are so irritating. They leave a giant mess, never clean up after themselves, they use up all our shampoo, they did something with our can of Pam while they were all high, and they eat up all of our food. The food wouldn't even be as irritating if they would do it in a logical fashion, but they don't. So, we now have six hot dogs, and no buns, due to the fact that one of them thinks hot dog buns are the most awesome snack a guy could have after smoking up. He goes through, like, a bag of buns whenever he comes over. Plus, they drink up all the soda.

I don't like them.

ETA: Nice number.

That's what I asked before (it's called pollock, unless there are others, which there may well be). I just wondered, on account of the suspicion of seafood, amongst the landlocked.

I'm being all oppressed and stuff.
