Spreadable...fish?

I was out running errands yesterday, and while I was browsing our closest Safeway, I ran across a refrigerated sales bin with various Philadelphia cream cheeses and dips. Since I can NEVER resist checking out anything that seems new, odd, or otherwise interesting to me (once it's been brought to my attention, that is), I started sorting through the bin.

Most of the dips looked interesting, but since we have nothing to dip them in at the moment (and I REALLY didn't want to go hauling big bags of chips home in my backpack), I disregarded them. Then I spotted something truly new to me: smoked salmon flavoured cream cheese.

I thought, Ew! Who on earth would eat that?

Then I realized, Oh, yeah. I would. Or at least, I'll TRY practically anything. So I bought it.

When I got home, my mother explained the concept of lox to me. I had no idea! So I guess it's not actually that strange.

She said to me, "It's almost too bad you don't do the grocery shopping in this household. You would, of course, forget to buy toilet paper and dish soap. But you'd constantly be bringing home new and interesting things to try."

<--My personality in a nutshell!

Anyway, I'm having the cream cheese on crackers now. I can't say it immediately brings salmon to mind, but it's pretty good anyway. And I realize this needs another lulz-worthy tag. *adds one*

Also, if you switch Microsoft Word's language preferences to "English (U.K.)," it stops correcting you every time you add a U to "behaviour." And it also stops correcting "arse."

It does not, however, help with this:
