Punishingly Intricate

I can't believe how often American Chop Suey appeared on my childhood lunch menus.

I only remember ever having it once as a child. At my parents' friends house in Texas. And I never had the Mexican Chop Suey.

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

Should I get my 31-year-old fiance a PS2 for his birthday or will a video game system totally ruin our lives?

Get a Wii! They have a Harvey Birdman game!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Your fiance is only 31? I have no opinion to offer on gift options, just a vague sense of elderly decrepitude and "Oh, you kids, with your newfangled game systems and all."

I had Chun King chop suey (or maybe chow mein?) in a can for many, many a childhood dinner. Really two cans, because you got the exciting extra can of crunchy noodles to sprinkle on top.

Of course, none of us now (including the parent who got the vile glop) can believe we were eating that while living a scant 30-some-odd miles from San Francisco's Chinatown (and probably only 20 from Oakland's). We know better now, is all I can say.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, we had that, too! Exotic.

American Chop Suey, however, is macaroni in tomato sauce. I know.

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

Well, PS2 is cheaper and has guitar hero and rock band. Which are apparently the second coming of fun.

In his defense, he is going to be 32. And also I myself don't understand game systems, and think they're for kids, but apparently I'm wrong and all 30-year-olds play video games.

Ellen Degeneres loves Guitar Hero, and she's 50!

I mostly had variations on traditional English and Scottish dishes, spiced up with lentils and paprika for variety.

This explains more about me than I care to admit.

Naked?

I hate video games, but I have family-dynamics issues about them.
