Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Family of faggot fans fly the flag
A West Midlands family is playing a central role in the quest to raise the profile of a forgotten British dish - faggots.
The Doody family from Wolverhampton has been crowned The Faggot Family in a national competition, and to kick off their reign they will launch National Faggot Week.
...
"The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year."
...
The competition was organised by faggot producer Mr Brain's Faggots.

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

a forgotten British dish - faggots
The article doesn't explain what it is! I thought in British, faggot meant cigarette, but from the sidebar I'm guessing this is some kind of homemade sausage roll?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought in British, faggot meant cigarette
I don't remember hearing it used that way (fags were cigarettes), but faggot was used to mean a bundle of sticks for fire.
My weekend plans involve working both days from unholy early and, well, not getting a migraine, mostly.

Oh joy. A coworker is in the hospital (burst appendix!) and I have basically been ordered to go visit her right now. Grrr.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Offal meatballs. Not nom.
Depends on how much you like haggis, I guess. I'd try 'em once.
