You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I don't think I've ever encountered boiled fish--it's always fried, broiled, grilled, sauteed, etc.

and a local grease ā€˜n’ gristle

What does this mean??

meara, are you thinking of HP Sauce?

Quite possible, I have no idea what it was called. It was brown. And um, saucy. I recall very little, it having been four years ago, and, as I said, hazed with alcohol. I just remember liking it a lot...

Our wings are not tired.

No doubt it is a personal preference item as the rest of the family loved gram's F&C's. Broiled with mango salsa is much more my style. Blackened is even better. Gee, is it lunch time yet?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

What does this mean??

Fast food store, ranging the whole gamut of fried foods.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I just got F&C for lunch.

Where did you get it, Tom?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

A strange shop on Fulton street with a Chinese proprietor. I got the "whiting" fish, and a weird substance the man said was vinegar. But since it was a few hundred yards from the fish market, at least it was fresh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait a second, people try to put non-malt vinegar on fries/chips?? EW.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I had fish and chips for lunch. It's all your fault.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Whiting is my FAAAAAAVORITE fish.

But I think it would be too thin.

I seem to recall that British fish and chip shops were specifically forbidden from using newspapers as wrapping, for hygiene reasons, as long ago as the eighties.

I remember that because, when Princess Diana was engaged to Prince Charles, the media wrote about her that her favourite food was "fish and chips from a proper fish and chip shop wrapped in newspaper" -- thereby giving the impression that either:

  1. The whole thing was complete bullshit, or more disturbingly
  2. The Princess was so sheltered from the real world she was getting fake fish and chips, rewrapped in specially-sanitised newspaper
