    Saw my awesome little girl this morning, after Monday was cancelled. She read to us, and discovered that the train she's played with the last 4-5 times has a switch, and it plays a tune whilst it drives itself around the track. She was very happy, and so was I watching her play. We even shared a bowl of coco pops. :)
    At the end, I was taken into the kitchen, where they asked me what food I liked, and proceeded to overlaiden me with 4 bags of food!! Fortunately, they got me a taxi to take me back home. Just as well, as I would never have been able to walk back with all that. My arms would've come off by the end of the street.
    I now have 48 servings of soup, 12 packets of noodles, 2 packs of oats, 2 bags of rice, 10 jars, 32 tins, 1 bottle of ketchup and a pot of custard. Also 6 packet mixes. :eek:

    If the forum handed out awards... surely this would win post of the day!

    Haha. Last time I went over, he gave me what he called karsk. It was (what I foolishly thought) just coffee with some sugar (he put a touch of Honey in as well).

    Me: "Wow, this tastes great. Did you mix booze with this though?"

    Friend: "Yeah, it's a Norwegian thing. Tastes great, doesn't it?"

    Me: "Yeah it does, but I'm a light drinker so...how much did you mix in?"

    "Friend: "Nothing much, just what you call moonshine." *Laughs*

    Me: "You...you bastard..."

    When he got back from work, I was passed out on the living room floor, salted cashews spilled about....good times.

    Who cares about oil when they have cheese.

    Yep, that sounds about right. You got off pretty easy, that Southern karsk is relatively tame.

    Yes, dude @Moon. Moondude. You have got to sample the brunost if you haven't previously. Forget about the black gold, brown gold is where it's at.

    Brunost is definitely on my annex list now though. Be prepared. Also, I will probably die from the amount of freia and kvikk lunsj I plan on eating..

    'Tis a good death. That's how you get to Valhall without having to stand in line for most of eternity (that being the time from now until everything is consumed by Surt's fire come Ragnarok )

    If Moon can get reindeer, he should try. Smoked in low temperatures, sauté (?) in cream, smoked, dry (?) reindeer meat...

    (Sorry! I don't know the exact terms in English.)

    Dear Heavens yes, he should absolutely do that. And don't be afraid to try moose if it's on the table (figuratively or literally)

    ETA: I think that's what we call suovas, but I'm not exactly sure.

    Oh that's definitely a meal I will not pass up. I think we had elk burgers Last time I was over. I also ate Smalahove, as my friend's mother taught him how to make it.

    Wasn't bad, but uh... definitely not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach.


    The Smalahove was his attempt to see me puke. Like a true bro. :p

    Smalahove, indeed? I haven't had that. I guess I'm just not metal enough to eat something's face.

    With enough whiskey, thirst to prove oneself and insanity blessings from the Gods, one can push through the head on plate and eat it.

    Without whiskey, I would have most likely ran away from the dinner table...tell no one.

    Interview went great!


    Only problem is that it's half time where the other one is full time, so I most likely won't end up in a book store...

    I've decided I'm no longer hesitant about weekly testosterone injections if it comes to that :3

    Imagine the poses I'd be doing

    Like a badass action hero
    I can also pretend they're stimpacks, the healing item from the Fallout games I play

    Hey, if you gotta take meds, do whatever it takes to make it fun

    Like I call my anxiety meds "senzu beans", the healing item from the Dragonball Z show

    I had The Fratellis song "We need medicine" as my wake up alarm back when I was on anti depressant. Mostly because I'm bad at remembering things like that, but I got a bit of a kick out of it.

    I mentioned it to me doctor who thought I had a weird sense of humor...

    Are the IV or into the muscle? I'm shit with shots, but as long as it's just a point and shoot jab I'm okay. Blood draws? Not so much.

    It's just a short jab ala stimpacks. :p No IV.

    Now I gotta go to Diamond City and ask Dr. Annoyed-Man (the name I dubbed him) for stimpacks. :p

    I'm shit with anything that involves a needle. Makes it very easy to avoid hard drugs. :p

    Roll with it then. Dunno about whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but I do know the first times are the hardest. Remember, it'll put hair on your palms :)

    Interesting it is a character from the Street Sharks.

    And then there is this piece someone just made up
    that is not tied to the cartoon show. :)

    That is truly horrifying... not going to lie, if I saw that thing emerge from the ocean, I would run the fuck away. But hey, at least it killed a mermaid.
