That Moment...

I was three or four when I got tubes in my ears and my adenoids taken out. They told me I could have all the popsicles I wanted.

They weren't lying. I wasn't ready to leave when my parents came to pick me up.

 

When someone's sense of humor makes you smile.

 

That moment when you pick up the county gazette from last month and you see that Odessa beat St. John-Endicott/Lacrosse 102-8 in football.

 

Lacrosse is a one horse town in the middle of nowhere. It has a really good cafe though.

 

If they got a second horse they could invent a really badass version of polo.

 

Only 9 if the quarterhorse threw his passes from outside the four-point line...

I don't know much about sports.

 

Well St. John and Endicott deserve some of the blame too.

 

No, the towns of St. John, Endicott, and Lacrosse all share a football team. One horse towns like I say, lol.

 

premise: just finished watching a video on some bakery shop preparing "green" velvet cakes with some funky decorations in series (many cakes at once for the day).

TMW you realize that you just clicked a video just because it was there, but that its content has not enriched your life--not even of entertainment--, and wondering "why is this video occupying space?"

 

TMW you find a tin of Christmas biscuits that were unopened from December, and they're obviously all okay, so that now you have an extra tin of biscuits. An extra tin of biscuits, people. This is a very British occasion. I think that serves as a national holiday.

 

Do you guys have an equivalent to American biscuits? The only kinds of biscuits I’m familiar with are the ones you can put gravy on.

 

I'm pretty sure they're what we call crackers.

 

Do you mean these?



We call them scones, you American heathens.

 

Yes I mean those as long as they’re buttery and flaky inside.
I’m just trying to get a handle on it because it seems that practically every baked good has a different name in Britain.

 

I always wondered what scones are. They're not even cone-shaped??!!



(Conical-headed muppet)

Now if only we can solve the mystery of the crumpet...

 

We have scones here though. Ever been in a Starbucks?

 

No, but I have read about him.

 

DO IT!

 

God, I miss going to Starbucks. The sense of having your shit together like a Mature, Respectable Adult for five minutes is second to none. Then the coffee's finished, and you're back to being a hot mess. Love. It.

 

I’m down for that whenever.
