Go Suzi!
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My reason for food not touching is that if you put gravy or sauce on something of a fairly crunchy or resistant texture, then it gets soggy. I'll dip my food, thank you. Also, I despise the warm lettuce you get when they put it on a hamburger.

Teppy, did you hear about the Illuminati at the FAC, or had you known about them, prior?
I knew about them prior. I'm not sure when I first heard of them -- either high school or college. It's the kind of random arcane useless* shit that I tend to know.

Because books.
I'm not, like, excessively compulsive about it, but the touching should be MINIMAL. Mostly, I'm just amused by the fact that I won't let food mix until it gets into my mouth.
See, but that's where you lose me. I don't like my food touch (although I don't actually put them on separate plates), but the wisdom I was always given was, "It's all going to the same place!"
And I always said, "So? It's how it tastes going down."
Some things can mix. Turkey and stuffing, for instance. Ham and eggs. Most other things? All the way separate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have you ever played the game Illuminati? That's probably the thing I miss most about university...the way it was always possible to find one or five people to play any dumb long game with you.

No -- does it involve conspiracies and control of the World Bank?

Card game or board game? I played the card game a few times. (And wrote a review of the Church of the SubGenius expansion pack.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Go, Nora, Glamcookie and Suzi!! Smartypants, all.
And, go me! I finally made some follow-up doctors appts. I was supposed to get a follow-up mammogram back in, um, January. And, I was supposed to follow-up with my endocrinologist in April. I'm a little late, but I did get off my butt and make the appointments. Yay me!

Does anyone eat only one thing at a time? My cousin does this and it's kinda weird to watch.

I miss playing Illuminati.

Y'know, the author being in the right part of Texas, he almost certainly knows or knew the Marcontell relative in question who'd been talking in hushed tones about his Masonic rank at Paul's grandmother's funeral.
