Here's your Friday random

1. I had chicken tenders from Raising Cane's today because I wanted the dipping sauce. I don't DO things like Ranch or ketchup, but this stuff, man. It clearly has an addictive substance in it that makes you crave it fortnightly

The San Francisco Bay Area might fit the bill for that last item. I can make A LOT of suggestions in that vein. Many many.

(Also, I am selfishly glad that you are posting more.)

[stoney321]

Oh, how I love San Francisco... My girlfriend is there on a business trip and I'm tres jealous.

(Oh, really? Aww, thanks for that!)

Butthead may be plotting with being all cuddly and adorable, but perhaps your pores are oozing Raising Cane's dipping sauce aroma and he just needs to be up in that cloud of nirvana

[stoney321]

OMG, I cackled at your Cane's sauce theory. YOU MAY BE RIGHT.

Oooh, any new beers lately? The Mr. has been branching out with some great microbrews. There's one north of me, Franconia, that's fantastic. Well, every 10th batch is odd, but you have to expect that with small amounts being made.

PUT PLEATS IN THE DRESS AND PASS THE FONTINA.

OMG, the real struggle of living near that sort of construction. It's positively grating, that steady background racket. MY SYMPATHIES.

I am drinking the holy heck out of two local German style pilsners: Austin Beerworks Pearl Snap and Real Ale's Hans Pils on draft and in cans. I'm also loving Uinta's Baba black lager. Yes, it does have a sheep on the can.

The Olympics have turned my living room into a sports bar.

[stoney321]

Yes, Real Ale! Super nice. Uinta? That's a Utah brewery! They're out in the flat land near the Great Salt Lake. I can't remember if they're the ones who made Polygamy Porter or not, but that's really freaking good if you can find it.

11. What's up, buttercup?

I regret that I didn't get video evidence of something that happened overnight...

The kitten just looooves to drink water out of my glasses, so I thought I would outwit him last night by using a cup with a lid and a straw.

I went to sleep and the water-filled cup was sitting next to me. I awoke and the nearly empty cup was on the floor, on its side, with the lid still attached and the straw removed and placed a few feet from the cup. The straw has chew marks. There is no water on the floor.

I can only conclude that the kitten knows how to use a straw and will likely begin demanding that we add straws to his water bowl. I mean, what else can it be? (I'm also working to break his habit of jumping on my kitchen counters, however, I figure that a kitten that can drink out of a straw can also make me some toast while he's on the counter. If so, I may have to re-consider my no-cats-on-the-counter stance.)

In other news, I also regret that I'm not taking a nap right now.

[stoney321]

OH. MY. GOD.

That is hilarious and maddening, I'm sure. HEE, SUCH A SMART LITTLE THING!!

Oooh, go take a nap! I'll take one here in solidarity!

Regarding #10: WHEN DO WE LEAVE??

[stoney321]

I can be ready to go in negative ten minutes.

I love you with a deep, pure love that burns, just for the Violent Femmes reference.

[stoney321]

Yeah? Well I love you for EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! ;D

[sunnyd_lite]

All the love for your Violent Femmes reference! And Toronto is an awesome city - an awesome city under ice n snow, so maybe wait a few months?
