Good morning kids,

I refrained from taking the quiz 'cause I have seen that site and taken the quiz before. Ne'er a cheater, I. Unless the prize had been chocolate, that would have been different, but Pea didn't say anything about a chocolate prize.

Pea, what is your favourite Fawlty Tower scene or episode?

Lisa, your dad just has to have that sticker on the car, that would be very, very funny.

Fuse box! Yes, I had computers on the brain this morning, in fact first I put 'energy control panel' but knew that didn't sound right. 'Fuse box' was right out of range to recall. The power, having gone out, blinked out the computer at, apparently, a bad time in its little computer life. As a result, I came back from breakie to power but also to a computer with the Dreaded Blinking Question Mark. As I told a PC friend, it is a Mac thing and means "Operating system? Why no, I haven't seen one of those lately, hang on, let me check... no, I've look all around inside of me, and I don't see a single thing that will start me up. Sorry! Oh, and NEXT time, don't f**k with the power when I'm on, okay? Have a nice day."

All is well now.

As for breakie, I had my favourite White Spot breakie, two poached eggs on multi-grain toast, and a side of fruit salad. White Spot does perfect eggs, really perfect, and their fruit salad is just fresh big chunks of fruit (melons, strawberries, grapes) in a bowl. Yum yum. I could eat that every single morning and die happy. Probably die pretty quick, with eggs every day, but happy.

The coffee is a given, for sure. Then home to have real coffee, 10x the strength of restaurant coffee. Are you a REAL purist or do you put milk and/or sugar in your coffee? And, for that matter, when you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?

And how is your fine self this morning haggis :) Go check outside you might find something stuck in the trees. Last night when I was putting my bike away, you know the one with the great streamers. A ballon with a long purple string floated down from the heavens, probally some escapee from a birthday party over at the evil clowns place (do not eat his food!) I had this brilliant :idea: So I got a big felt pen, a special felt pen tho, one with shimmering gold highlights and wrote on it "Hey Hag" and sent it on its way. Did you get it? I really should be getting paid for this stuff :lol:
Speaking of pay, I actually have some work to do for awhile..uh haggis the only chocolate I would be able to provide would be the kind purchased at the
Tattooed Lesbian Vegetarian Health Food Store, you might not like the chocolate but a tour of the store is definately up there with oddballs, crazies, and contrarians. Far more interesting than the baby gap store. :lol:

I have never had the misfortune of finding myself in a baby gap store. In fact, I wasn't aware of the existence of such a thing, and certainly would have preferred to live in ignorance of this gapped baby thing. I suspect it caters to the dress-your-kids-in-designer-clothes-cause-you're-too-dumb-to-realize-that-rug-rats-grow-out-of-stuff-two-days-after-you-buy-it crowd. I suspect I will never enter Gap d'Brat.

Didn't get your banner, no, but will keep an eye out for it. WAIT a minute, now I know why the power was out this morning! There was a blinkin' banner stuck in the works! Well, at least now I know where to find it.

Research, CIVILIZED people carefully dispose of brown Smarties by tossing 'em to the dog. Sheesh. You can't eat the brown ones, that ain't even right. Sounds communist to me.

Baby Gap-- better referred to as a North Korean 'reeducation camp' redux.

I hate the place-- talk about breeding conformity!

Starbucks has NOTHING on Baby Gap...!

As for smarties, please. I grew up enjoying the finest cuisine in Canada-- les restaurants de Montreal.

Brown smarties are like caviar-- an acquired taste perhaps....but, formidable, merveilleux!

Someday, your palate will reach that hightened level of sophistication.

Pfft. You know, in the deep south you can get fried bits of dough called 'hush puppies'. People eat 'em, but you know why they're called 'hush puppies'? 'Cause they were tossed to the dawgs, with the admonishment, 'hush, puppy!'. Well brown smarties are the Canadian version of hush puppies, and any heightened level of sophistication required is of the canine variety. For example, a mangy mutt might shun brown smarties, but a savvy urbane Irish Wolfhound will eat them almost as quickly as he will eat other little round brown things. :cool:

Brown smarties. You'd've gotten if for sure, had mom known you were eating brown smarties all those years.

The only decent thing to do with brown smarties other than feeding 'em to your dog: javascript:emoticon(':violent2:')

Hush puppies are little bitty bits of cholesterol, and I agree, they aren't particularly good. Probably because they're meant to be thrown to the hounds. They wouldn't have been made up especially for the dogs, after all, this IS the deep south we're talking about, but I suspect they started out as bits of leftover dough that just got tossed in the deep-fryer along with the chicken or whatever, then tossed to the dogs.

... and then people actually eat 'em. Then again, SOME unsuspecting people eat brown smarties, too, not realizing they were never meant for human consumption. I won't even tell you what they put in the brown ones.
