Hey, my power animal is the Naked Mole Rat! Sweet!
Woah! That is so cool.
That's not fair! I got giant octopus but wanted naked mole rat, or, if possible, the three toed sloth.
I would've been very happy with the giant octopus myself. Smartest invertebrates in the world and all that. Though the three-toed sloth would be excellent too. You have algae growing on you!
ita, that comic led me to this one, which sent me into gales of laughter that I can't explain to the co-workers.
This is the one that set me off: [link]
I've also sent email to Someone I Know Who Is Very Famous, because Pete told me that I HAD TO let that person know about the Yahoo thing.
Is it Neil Gaiman? I think Neil Gaiman should know.
I thought I was being adventurous and enjoying sushi until I found out I was just eating the pickled ginger.
I like sushi, but still think pickled ginger is the best part. And I'm not even all that fond of ginger. Never tried pickled okra. The thing is, I can't stand the texture of okra. Does pickling get rid of the
slime
? (Whitefonted for my own squick factor. I don't know about anyone else's.)
Yes pickling gets rid of that! Pickled okra is my number two all time favorite Bloody Mary garnish. (Pickled green beans are #1.)
Hmmm. That may be worth trying then. If I ever see it, I'll give it a try.
Is it Neil Gaiman? I think Neil Gaiman should know.
Yes, yes it was. Heaven only knows if or when Neil will see the email, but I did send it.
Jilli! Congrats on the Yahoo thing. That's really cool.
Also, hi.
Chiming in late: oh yes that yahoo article on Gothic Charm School was excellent. My favorite part was the defining of snarkling especially "mischievously affectionate". I want all my friends to be snarklings! Oh wait... I think they already are.
Yes pickling gets rid of that!
Yes, it does! Also, fried okra doesn't have that, either, so you might like it fried.
There's a coffee shop near me that has take-out Ethiopian food at lunchtime. Their menu has three options: beef, chicken, and vegetable. I order the "vegetable," and for $6, get whatever four or five vegetables they decided to make that day, in big enough portions to last for at least two meals.
I love that it's just vegetable.
Tonight, we ordered Thai food in. I usually don't do Thai food. But I had an excellent beef salad and a spicy noodle dish. K wanted to know what the dish was and I said, "spicy noodles" and she persisted in asking. I realized she wanted to know the thai name. I told her the menu just said "Spicy Noodles."
It's 2:00 AM; I need to be entertained.
