Just ask me

Did you ever notice that often, girls don’t ask for things? What i mean is…well…i’ll give you an example. Here is a typical random conversation that might occur…

(I am eating an eggplant parm from a nearby deli)

Her: Hey. Whatcha eatin’?

Me: Eggplant parm.

Her: Where’d you get it? It looks good.

Me: Deli up the street.

Her: I’ve never eaten there before.

Me: No?

Her: Haven’t had eggplant parm in years either

Me: Uh huh.

Her: And that looks really god…

JUST FRICKIN ASK FOR A FRICKIN BITE AND STOP IMPLYING THAT YOU WANT ONE SO THAT I AM FORCED TO OFFER IT! I mean that is just manipulation at it’s worst, because if you didn’t do that, i wouldn’t have offered it to you. When i buy a sandwhich, i buy it with the intent of eating it. So, unless i am full, feeling generous, or just plain old think it tastes like crap, ask me for a bite. I am not going to offer.

Soup and a sandwhich

So, i just went shopping and it would appear that i have an incredibley boring diet. I eat soup and sandwhiches almost exclsively. My fridge and cabinets look like Ronald McDonalds closet.
Don’t get me wrong, i do like other things; sushi, mexican, a good burger. It’s just that i find that i am always in the mood for soup and a sandwhich. It’s like those movies you can always watch because they’re so comforting or human flesh to a cannibal. I mean, you ask a fat kid if he wants a candy bar at any time of day and he’ll probably say yes. Ask me what i’d like for dinner and i may not be sure what i’m in the mood for, but offer me tomato soup and turkey on wheat and i’m as content as a monkey flinging pooh.

Freedom Fries

So, I was thinking. If you are in the location whose name preceeds an item as it’s description, do you still use the the descriptive geographic word?

Translation: in sweden, are swedish fish just “fish”?
spain, is Spanish rice just “rice”?
ireland, is irish coffee just “coffee”?

France is like the motherload. French fries, bread, toast, kissing. Do you french kiss a girl in france or just kiss and when not using tongues…i don’t know…”American kiss”? We’re not even sure what the true origin of the “fry” is anyway, so why does france own it? Many say it was a belgium creation and it was actually a Belgian immigrant who brought fries to the english.
But, the english call french fries, chips, when they should be calling then “belgian fries”. What do they call potato chips in england, though, if chips is already taken?
my brain hurts. it’s all delicious so i guess i shouldn’t care.
