Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Ooh, sorry, is it current season? I don't watch, so I don't know.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

No worries. I'm a couple years behind in my WW viewing due to having missed enough of a season that I now have to wait for things to come out on DVD. It's hard to explain. But I don't feel spoiled.

I must admit, all those bigger-than-your-head, rice, meat and bean burritos seem weird to me even now.

YES. I mean they can be tasty, but they aren't really burritos the way I want them.

Hi sarameg!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Never eaten authentic Irish food. Amusingly enough, when we were in Scotland, most of what we ate was Chinese or Indian.(There was the little Russian cafe we ate at one night, but that's even farther afield...)

That’s why the Brits I know say British cuisine is curry. When my mom and I were in Amsterdam, we asked where we could get some Dutch food. Everyone tried to steer us to Indonesian restaurants. Because that's what the average Amsterdamnit eats. (We did insist and found the wonderful d'Vijff Vlieghen.)

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

My sister agitated to find more Kenyan food while we were in Kenya. She couldn't even find a word for rice that wasn't straight off an Indian menu. It was frustrating her, but...that's just how amalgamation works.

amalgamation can be cool too, though. Think of all the fun fusiony cuisines.

I just finished a paper, instead of going to a 4:30 class. The prompt was so high school that I almost lost it:

Write from the point of view of a Buddhist, Jew, Nestorian , Manichean or Muslim. Explain briefly your key beliefs, distinguish yourself from others, your attitude toward evangelization, your purpose on the Silk road and the status of your religion at the time you choose to place yourself.

I wonder if I should also include a diorama, or you know a poster or something. How old am I again?
