Luckily they weren't traditional when and where I was in England.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

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

If I only had a brain...
Hmm. That's fascinating.
I wonder if it's only Americans who do that, then? When I was growing up, if we were having a curry-powder-based curry, there were always chopped eggs, chopped peanuts, chopped banana, coconut, raisins... to sprinkle on. That was what made it fun.

i decided to think of something else, and since I'm eating a banana, went with the noun closest to me.

DH likes bananas with his curry, and has always said it was a South African thing. Something bland to nibble if the hot was too much, I think.

Rock on, Simon.
Although I apparently conveyed inaccurate information to a coworker -- I got Kevin's question about Serenity II confused with Joss asking Tim about the blond vampire thing, and told someone that Joss had asked Tim to do Serenity II.

Well, I didn't say it in front of a camera or post it anywhere, so I can't be held responsible for the rumors if they crop up.

Joss is married to Tim?

So, you're saying there's a connection between Joss and Tim?

Consuela thought that:
Joss had asked Tim to do Serenity II.
Perhaps this is where that thought came from: Kevin said, in Kevin "The Minearverse 4: Support Group for Clumsy People" Aug 23, 2005 3:01:48 am PDT
So, last question? I got the mic, stood up and asked: So, Joss, Tim Minear for Serenity 2?
Joss looked totally shocked he got an actual, you know, question. Then he corrected the fact I still can't pronounce Minear. His response? Camera man got it and I haven't got the footage yet to quote... But it was favourable. The campaign for Tim on Serenity 2 has begun.
So, not nearly as definite as the blond vampire gig, but still, I'm hopeful.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
DH likes bananas with his curry, and has always said it was a South African thing.
DH is from South Africa?
